B'way Hit Next for Fifteen

"The Man Who Came to Dinner," Kaufman and Hart's riotous New York hit that rocked the Music Box with laughter for two years, will open Wednesday evening, January 28th, at the Theater of the Fifteen in the Douglas Entrance. "The fabulous George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart," said one New York critic, "have drawn from the bottomless wellspring of their wit the most sparkling and intoxicating concoctions since 'You Can't Take It With You'. The audience was dazed, hypnotized, and almost suffocated in its own laughter." "The Man Who Came To Dinner" describes the mad exploits of a celebrated lecturer, Sheridan Whiteside, widely recognized as Alexander Woollcott, in an Ohio home to which he had come unwillingly to dinner. Having slipped on the ice, he is forced to stay on as semi-invalid. He immediately takes over the house from the indignant hosts and turns it into an asylum for his friends, his eccentricities, and his intrigue. James Crow is featured in the famous part of Sheridan Whiteside, created by Monty Woolley in the New York production. Mary Greene makes her first appearance with the Fifteen this season as the glamorous actress summoned to the great man's side in order to break up his secretary's romance with a young newspaperman. Barbara Parslow plays the secretary and Willard Thompson the newspaperman. A succession of Whiteside's famous friends drop in to see him, adding to the complications and to the hilarity in general. These include a renowed British playwright, played by Charles H. Faber, and a mad comedian, "Banjo", played by Samuel Leiderman. Elizabeth Cope plays Whiteside's nurse, and Dorothy Beyer a devoted but strange admirer. Others in the cast include Frank Rollinger, Janet Cole, Hugh Miller, Robbie Ronsheim, George Heilman, Edward Sheffield, and Daisy Hauck. "The Man Who Came To Dinner" is directed by Vaughn Baggarly. The settings have been designed and executed by Edward Sheffield, and the entire production is under the supervision of Hale McKeen. It will continue at the Theatre of the Fifteen through Sunday, February 8th, with the regular matinees Sundays at 3.

Hodgdon Elected Three Score-Ten President

Warren O. Hodgdon, of 3629 Harland Street, yesterday was unanimously elected president of the Three Score and Ten Club, Miami's famed "olderster's" club of some 3,000 members.

Charlie Back At 'Bolero'

Many residents of Coral Gables will remember the genial fat man who originally opened and operated El Bolero last winter, Charlie Bolero. This host, in the short period of time he headed this Coral Way spot, made a myriad of friends in this community, and it was with considerable disappointment that his friends saw him leave to operate another spot downtown. However, Charlie is now back at El Bolero, having bought the place and disclosed that he perferred to operate a smaller establishment for year round business rather than cater to the tourists exclusively. Wednesday evening the patrons and employees of El Bolero threw a party to celebrate Charlie's homecoming and the return of another popular member of the El Bolero entertainment staff—Marie Stanley. Miss Stanley had a long and highly successful engagement at this place last fall, and her piano wizardry will be long remembered by those who had an opportunity to listen to this artist. Miss Stanley acquired a new host of friends during her previous run at El Bolero to add to the fans she had already accumulated while playing for the past four years at Bill Jordan's Bar of Music on Miami Beach. Manuel San Miguel, for more than a year one of Coral Gables' favorite entertainers, remains to play his guitar and sing his inimitable Mexican songs. Buddy Satan, another member of the entertainment staff, also continues on with his unique boogie-woogie style of pianistics. Host Bolero has already inaugurated several innovations since his return, amongst them being a "Hangover Clinic," with every known and proven remedy for that ailment on hand and experienced employees to minister to the ailing free of charge.

Fibber McGee and Molly, Charlie MacCarthy and Edgar Bergen appear in "Look Who's Laughing," which will be shown for the last times today at the Coral Theatre.

"Rise and Shine" has been rated as the "All-American Screw-ball" picture of the year and was produced solely for the purpose of entertainment. Starring Jack Oakie, Linda Darnell, Milton Berle, George Murphy and Walter Brennan, "Rise and Shine" will open at the Gables Sunday, January 25th.

Anti-Bunk Drive Is Successful Here

(Continued from Page 1) week which is worthy of consideration. It is that an advertising fund of $5,000 be raised by the city of Coral Gables, the chamber of commerce and the business interests for advertising Coral Gables next fall. Lehman feels that a constructive "community" advertising campaign in local newspapers would attract many new residents to Coral Gables. "One would be surprised at the number of people in other cities who buy local papers before starting on their way down here, and the message of Coral Gables would have been received by them before they arrive," Warren stated. J. L. Lewis, manager of the Solana Hotel, has suggested a plan whereby winter guests would receive a copy of The Riviera during the summer months to keep Coral Gables constantly in their minds. It was pointed out that the amount involved would be too small for a national advertising campaign.

Startling Story of Possession Of Mummy's Foot Told by Pratt

A mummy's foot, no less, is in the possession of Nat Pratt, and may be seen in the biology class room at Ponce de Leon High school. How Nat became the possessor of this rather gruesome, but fascinating relic is told below in excerpts from a letter from his grandfather: "This foot belonged to a princess who lived thousands of years ago in the land of Egypt. It was given to Dr. Nathaniel A. Pratt, your great, great grandfather, in Roswell, Georgia, about the year 1853, by Dan Stuart, a half brother of Martha Bulock who was the mother of Theodore Roosevelt. The following facts are interesting in connection with the foot: "Dan, while on a visit to friends in Savannah, Ga., a few years previously, was challenged by a young gentleman there, to fight a duel, which was not uncommon among gentlemen in those days. He did not even know he had offended the other man until he was challenged to fight, but the other through jealousy and because he was a dead shot, seemed determined to kill Dan, who then accepted the challenge, telling his seconds that at the call he would fire into the air. They protested that he would surely be killed in that event and that his only chance for his life was to fire accurately and quickly at the call. They met and fought on the out-skirts of Savannah and at the call "fire" the other man fell, shot through the heart: Dan was not hit. "Dan, greatly distressed at the whole affair, returned to his home in Roswell where, his distress continuing, Major James Bullock, his step-father, sent him to Europe to spend a year and get over it. While there, he visited Egypt and purchased a mummy, newly found in one of the ancient tombs. The mummy case, wrappings and all, were in perfect condition. The Egyptian government was not then very strict against shipping these relics abroad, but this particular shipment was stopped at the docks in Alexandria, pending an investigation. While this was going on, Dan, realizing that he would get no redress, as well as secretly secured a hatchet, opened the case, unwrapped one foot and one hand, cut them off, put them into his pocket and then carefully closed the case. His act was not discovered. He was not detained and in due course returned to Roswell where he presented this foot to your great, great grandfather, retaining the hand of the mummy for himself."

Biltmore Briefs

By MILTON CHAPMAN Now engaged with us in the Giralda Room and Cascades of the Miami Biltmore is one of the most accomplished legerdemain, or sleight-of-hand artists I have ever seen in a long time. Glen Pope, who has been acclaimed as "the aristocrat of magic," is widely known as the man who stole head G-man J. Edgar Hoover's wrist watch. A native of Waco, Texas, Glen left home in 1927 to enter the show business, going to New York where he met with considerable success from the very beginning. He is still a Texan though, as indicated by his nazal twang and his frank, unassuming manner. Glen has brought with him a whole bagful of tricks and puzzles as well as a fresh line of jokes, including a brand new stash of war gags that are bound to tickle you as they did me and scores of our patrons. Pope is not one of these slick-haired, black mustached very mysterious looking magicians, but he certainly is an expert on entertaining, having appeared before most of the crowned and de-crowned heads of Europe. One of his most amazing tricks is making a cone of milk disappear. He takes a piece of paper, fashions it into a cone, pours milk into it. Then he touches his cigarette to the cone and the whole thing disappears in a flash of flame. Glen has appeared before King George V of Great Britain, King Gustav of Sweden, King Christian X of Denmark; the late King of Poland; and other notables on the continent. He has patter that is fast and funny, cleverer at laugh a minute. Glen says he would rather have a $5,000 scholarship to a famous inventor he knows. This genius invented a transparent night shirt for the folks who get behind it can look into the future. But the best gag that Pope pulls while he is performing his feats of magic is about the gift President Roosevelt sent to the Japanese Emperor. It was a giant bottomed boat, Glen explains, so that the chief mogul of the Land of the Rising Sun could review the Japanese fleet. We'll be glad to subscribe to that gift.
