Biltmore Briefs

By MILTON CHAPMAN The test blackout Sunday night was pronounced a 100 per cent success, so far as the Miami Biltmore was concerned, with no inconvenience caused to our guests. Everyone co-operated whole-heartedly in the effort and all were thankful that it was nothing more than a test. Complete advance preparations for the test were made under the direction of our untiring chief security agent, Frank A. Yahner. Noth left no stone unturned to be certain that not a light could be seen at the Miami Biltmore between 10:15 and 10:45 Sunday night. Complete accommodations for our guests were set up in the Grand Lounge, where everyone gathered at 10 o'clock for a unique "blackout card and cocktail party." Captain Edward J. O'Neill, our chief guest officer, and with Mr. Yahner, one of our air raid wardens, saw his advance plans carried out to the letter. Requested to follow directions, guests co-operated willingly, with the result that a happy gathering took place in the lounge until the "all clear" was sounded. During the event I was privileged to have a brief chat with Harry Archer, well known in the show business, who is spending a short time with us. Mr. Archer has written the complete scores for more than a dozen musicals, all of which were produced on Broadway at one time or another. It was quite coincidental that as we sat there talking, Cy Washburn's orchestra played the ever-popular number, "I Love You," which, I believe, was written by Mr. Archer. He wrote the music, the words having been written by Harlan Thompson, for the show "Little Jessie James", a Broadway hit of 1923. Another popular number for which he is responsible is "White Sails," on which he collaborated with Nick Kenney, who wrote the words. Mr. Archer confessed he was at a loss to know why some songs live and others die. When he wrote "I Love You" he had no idea that it would continue to be popular for years, any more than Benny Davis did when he created "Margie." He did think, however, that the song's introduction had much to do with it, pointing out that "God Bless America" was written in 1917, but never was well known until reintroduced by Kate Smith a few years ago. The artists of "Tin Pan Alley" are already hard at numbers for World War No. 2, Mr. Archer said, and predicted that it won't be long before we will be singing tunes that were as popular as "Over There," "K-K-K-Katy," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and "There's a Long, Long Trail. Already we have "I've Been Drafted," "You're L-A in the Army and A-1 in My Heart" and "Any Bonds Today?" Which reminds me, don't forget to buy your share of Defense Bonds and Stamps--as many as possible as often as possible!

SERMON-TOPIC ANNOUNCED

THINK YOU'VE HAD THRILLS? MEET MR. HANKS

(Continued from Page 1) afraid, and the Axis will never break their spirit," he says. Hanks says that during air raids, even the heaviest ones, there is never the slightest trace of panic. During minor ones, much business goes on as usual. He was in London during the heavy Nazi raids last May, when tons of explosives and land mines were dropped on the British capital. "The din is terrific," he says, "but nobody seems frightened." The first sign that enemy bombers are heading for that city, after the air raid sirens have blown, is the starting up of the "A-A-ads" anti-aircraft guns. These are used to throw up a blanket of shells in an effort to keep the bombers high, which makes bombing inaccurate. "When those guns stop firing, we know that the R.A.F. night fliers have taken to the air to do battle with the raiders," Hanks said. "Anti-aircraft first must be stopped when the R.A.F. goes aloft because of the danger of hitting one of our planes." Hanks completed his flying training in Alabama in 1939, later did a grace of his own and was associated with the Magic City Flying Service here in Miami. When war broke out, he signed a contract to ferry planes within England, and left a year ago. His future plans are not definitely formulated, but he is planning to get back into some branch of flying. Although quite familiar with the experience during the past year, he says that he "wouldn't trade the experience he has had for a million dollars." One persons who wants him home for awhile is his mother, Mrs. J. P. Hanks, who says "there is several weeks housework that she can hardly do her housework."

Fifteen Plan Elaborate School Of The Theatre

The School of the Theatre, which will open February 2nd, will be under the personal direction of seven members of the professional acting and directing company of the Theatre of the Fifteen. Each of these experienced directors, actors and technical experts will teach one or more subjects during the twelve-week course. Rain McKeen, founder and director of the Theatre of the Fifteen, will teach acting technique. A course designed to help the students discover his technical problems so that he may plan with any stage director, confident in his ability to respond to the demands of the director. Classes will be conducted on an actual stage complete with scenery, lighting and properties. Mr. McKeen, who has been described by Gilmore Brown as "one of the finest directors in America", is a graduate of Vanderbilt University, Yale University, and the Yale University Department of the Drama. In Hollywood, Mr. has been director of Le Petit Theatre de Vieux Carre, New Orleans; the Civic Theatre, Indianapolis; and the Pasadena Playhouse, California. Edward Sheffield, designer and art director of the Theatre of the Fifteen, will teach stage design, lighting, costume and make-up. These courses are by no means limited to students of stagecraft, for a working knowledge of these subjects will broaden the scope of the acting-student, and prepare him to meet the various demands imposed by a challenging profession. Mr. Sheffield has been art director and instructor in scenic design, art and stagecraft for the Pasadena Playhouse. He has also designed for other outstanding theatres of the West Coast, as well as for the major Hollywood motion picture studios. Last season he conducted the Winter Theatre Institute of the Miami Junior League. Vaughn Baggerly, associate director of the Theatre of the Fifteen, will conduct the rehearsal classes. Two productions cast from the student group, will be publicly presented at the Theatre of the Fifteen. In addition, all students will be eligible for parts with the professional company, and will be cast according to their talent. Closely allied with Mr. Baggerly's rehearsal classes will be Robert Vance's course in Improvisation and Interpretation. This course develops imagination and observation, frees the student from self-consciousness, and enables him to master a wide range of characterizations. Miss Cope, who has studied Russian speech technique with its foremost exponents in America, Maria Ouspenskaya and Tamara Daykarhanova, will demonstrate the principles of acting, with special attention to the Stanislavsky method. Mary Greene, who has played numerous leading roles in Theatre of the Fifteen productions, will teach voice and diction. Miss Greene is eminently qualified to teach the students to produce and project his voice with ease and assurance. At intervals recordings will be made of the student's speech so that he may better observe defects and hasten his approach to vocal perfection. Miss Mary Faber, playwright member of the Theatre of the Fifteen, will present "March of the Theatre", a description and analysis of the rich and colorful pageant of the drama from Athens to Broadway. Mr. Faber has studied the history and literature of the theatre with Franke Williams, noted Shakespearean authority, and has lectured on theatre and playwriting in Hollywood, Pasadena, and Miami. James Floyd Crow will illustrate the periods described in "March of the Theatre" with representative great plays. His students will become acquainted with the great plays of all time through the stimulating method of the group reading and discussion. Mr. Crow, a graduate of the University of Illinois, the University of Arizona, and the University of Colorado, has studied literature with Robert Frost and Zona Gale.

MISS HENDERSON HONORS GROUP

To honor Miss Betty Klefeker, Miss Jane Klefeker and Miss Mary Schreiber, a party was given Saturday evening by Elizabeth Paton Henderson of 1225 Valencia. About 30 young people were invited including several R.A.F. boys. Games and dancing followed by a buffet supper was enjoyed by the group.

Loud Speaker Warns Drivers Of Violations

The use of a large loud speaker, mounted on top of a police car, is doing much to curb traffic violations in Coral Gables, Capt. Lou Reeves stated yesterday. The speaker, installed as part of the air raid warning equipment, is used to call the attention of motorists to the violations, while they are being committed. "When a driver hears his errors boomed at him from the speaker, he isn't likely to forget them for a long time," the police head said.
