3 Candidates Seek Supreme Court Position

Gainesville, (FNS) — Three candidates are now definitely in the race for the Supreme Court post from which Justice J. B. Whitfield will retire in 1943, with the announcement of Circuit Judge H. L. Tom Sebring that he will be a candidate. Hon. T. T. Turnbull of Monticello, chairman of the State Democratic Committee and attorney for the Florida Rail-Road Commission, and W. P. Allen, prominent Tallahassee attorney, have previously announced. All will run in group 3 in the Democratic primary next May. Only the incumbents, Justice Alto Adams and Justice Glenn Terrell, have announced for the other two Supreme Court posts and it is doubtful if any opposition will develop.

Railway Officials See No Ill War Effects

Jacksonville, (FNS) — Railway men do not believe the entrance of this country in the war will greatly effect tourist travel to Florida this fall and winter. Officials of the Seaboard Airline Railway reported a 20 percent increase in reservations over a year ago. While military operations may present a problem from the equipment standpoint officials believe they will be able to care for tourist traffic needs and point out that new schedules and recently added equipment should prove capable of meeting the situation.

“Fifteen” to Open With “The Male Animal”

The Fifteen will open their third consecutive winter season in Coral Gables Wednesday evening, December 31st (New Year's Eve), with “The Male Animal” by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent. This hilarious New York comedy hit will continue for twelve consecutive nights through January 11th at the Theater of the Fifteen, Douglas Entrance on the Tamiami Trail, with matinees, Sundays at 3. There will be a special preview performance Tuesday evening, December 30th. “The Male Animal” is the first of a series of Broadway successes which the Fifteen will present during their sixteen-week season. Among the outstanding hits tentatively scheduled are “The Philadelphia Story”, Katherine Hepburn's brilliant success by Philip Barry; “The Little Foxes”, Lillian Hellman's dynamic portrait of a predatory Southern family; “Skylark”, the gay and sparkling Gertrude Lawrence success by Samson Raphaelson; and “Old Acquaintance”, John van Druten's witty fable of two lady novelists, which starred Jane Cowl and Peggy Wood in New York last season. Two of London's greatest successes are announced: “Thunder Rock”, an unusual and timely play by Robert Ardrey, which has the distinction of being the most popular war-time hit, and “Suspect”, the sensational thriller by Edward Percy and Reginald Denham, authors of “Ladies in Retirement”. A pair of Ace Kaufman and Hart comedies, “The Man Who Came to Dinner”, and “George Washington Slept Here” are listed among the Fifteen's tentative selections. Other comedies listed are William Saroyan's most recent New York hit, “The Beautiful People”, and Mark Reed's “Yes, My Darling Daughter”. Among the possibilities are two distinguished musical reviews — Shaw's “The Gentle People”, produced by the Group Theatre, and Sidney Howard's “The Late Christopher Bean”, which starred Pauline Lord on Broadway. Two new scripts are announced for tentative production: “The Miracle of Spring”, the latest play by Charles H. Fabens; and “The Lady Breaks a Lance”, and “A Man From the Band”, a comedy of men and music by Martha Pittenger. Subscriptions for the sixteen-week season of eight productions are now on sale at the box office of the Theater of the Fifteen. These may be used at the convenience of the subscribers, either one seat for each of the eight productions, or several seats on the same night.

In spite of war, and grim and drear, Of mounting hatred — macabre hymn, In spite of struggle for breath and bread, Of bombs below and overhead— This season, in which we all rejoice, Makes us to hope; to lift the voice, Or write again with flaming pen; Peace on earth, good will to men!

New Mexico Disputes ‘Oldest House’ Claim

St. Augustine, (FNS)—Florida's “Ancient City” has long claimed to have America's “Oldest House” and now it develops that Santa Fe, New Mexico, disputes the claim and contends that an old adobe hut in that community is older, said to have been built by the Spaniards in 1604. There is a lot of difference between a mud hut and a House and if it should become necessary to go to court to determine which community is entitled to the claim, Florida's and America's first city undoubtedly would win. The “Oldest House” at St. Augustine is a major attraction and has been visited by millions. Despite Santa Fe's claim, our “Oldest House” will hold the title for it has been well publicized and if forced to do so could probably present ample proof as to the authenticity of its claim.
