Club To Celebrate Final Party With Governor's Dinner Dance

Gablesgrams

By HELEN REYNOLDS Picture a cathedral like room, lighted entirely by candle light, 350 Palm Beach socialites sitting on gold chairs, the tragic figure of Ignace Paderewski, the grand old man of forgotten Poland on the platform and the music of Richard Crooks Metropolitan star, with Warner Handman at the piano and you have a picture of the recent benefit for Poland's relief given at the Edward T. Stotesbury block long home in Palm Beach. To young Warner Handman, who received most of his musical education while living in Coral Gables and who is organist at the First Presbyterian church, the evening will be for ever etched upon his memory; an etching that reflects a sort of woman "major-domo" to take his name on arrival, "I am Richard Crooks accompanist; guides to take him through vaulted marble corridors and up marble staircases to the ball room, the presence of detectives everywhere, the entrance of Mr. Paderewski supported by two nurses; that and the possession of a prized telegram he received from the great Paderewski last Thursday congratulating, thanking and praising him for his music that night. In fact to use Warner's own words, "To think that I actually could play before the great composer was beyond my wildest dreams". Yes, Warner has that telegram framed and hanging over his piano in his studio home. A round of parties has been planned for Mrs. Jay Slaughter and her mother, Mrs. J. W. Cowan, who will arrive Saturday from Post, Texas, for a visit with Mrs. Slaughter's sister-in-law Mrs. Frank Lott and her daughter, Mrs. Marybel Flournoy of 1710 Granada Boulevard.
