‘Stars For Britain’ Party Will Take Place Tonight At Miami Biltmore

Gablesgrams

by HELEN REYNOLDS A capacity audience thrilled to the music of the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra Monday night, wrapped in blankets, furs, laprobes, even "earmuffs". But the cold, (it was about 60 in orchestra hall) neither spoiled the magnificent performance of Igor Gorin, baritone soloist, nor the equally magnificent performance of the orchestra, who, as one Gables' regular remarked, "seems to come to life" under the magic hands of John Bitter, conductor... And now we hear that more honors and publicity will be accorded the orchestra and Mr. Bitters when, on the night of March 24th, (regular subscribers' series night) the orchestra will be broadcast during the first hour, as part of the "Ford" hour with the noted Richard Crooks as soloist. Prettily appointed and entirely informal was the "coffee" given yesterday morning at eleven o'clock by Mrs. William L. Gray, Jr., honoring a group of mothers and daughters. The party especially honored Mrs. W. G. Russell, of Waco, Texas, mother of Mrs. J. Wylly Keck, of 2520 Avenue San Domingo. Mrs. Charles P. Myers of Chicago and Lake Wales, arrived yesterday for her annual visit and is the house guest of Mrs. Vincent Wyman of 3621 Monserrate Street. Mrs. Myers will be widely entertained during her stay . . . Mrs. J. F. Hudock of Hazelton, Pa., who has been the house guest of Mrs. Grace Perry for several weeks planned to leave Monday for her home, but a letter informed her icicles five feet long were hanging from rooftops to say nothing of the ice underfoot. Mrs. Hudock who has been much feted during her stay will leave tomorrow... Mr. and Mrs. LeVan Lawfer, cousins of Mrs. Perry's and also her guests are spending a few days in Key West... Mr. and Mrs. Tom McGee, sister and brother-in-law of Mrs. Walter Pierce will arrive Sunday from Spartanburg, S. C. for a visit with the Pierces.
