'Shadow and Substance' Ends U. of M. Playmakers' Season

The University of Miami Playmakers conclude their current season with a production of Paul Vincent Carroll's drama, "Shadow and Substance," May 21, 22 and 23. Mr. Carroll was presented with the Critic's Award in 1938 for the play, which was outstanding in the New York season. Since the Irish Renaissance at the turn of the century a number of plays possessed of extraordinary power and poetic beauty have come from the green island now sheltering U. S. troops. "Shadow and Substance" is the latest and one of the finest. The play revolves about the Irish Catholic Church. The church and its vicars have drifted from the deep, basic moorings of true religion, and it takes a simple girl, housekeeper in the home of the vicar, to awaken them to the truth. C. V. W. Trice plays the leading role of Canon Skerritt. Other members of the cast are: Elaine Planick, Ben Landress, Maxine Kreisworth, Don Littlefield, Marshall Simmons, Shirley Goldston, Richard Motter, Harry Audette and Ruth Jane Craver. Opal Euard Motter directs the production.

Paper Thanked For Work on Value Festival

Appreciation of The Riviera's co-operation in the recent Festival of Values was expressed in a letter received yesterday from Andrew N. Houston, president of the Merchant's Bureau. Houston's letter stated: "On behalf of the members of the Merchant's Bureau of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, I wish to thank you and the members of your staff for publishing the fine edition of The Riviera featuring our Festival of Values Week. "This special issue and the special advertising folder through its widespread distribution added greatly in making this an outstanding event. "May I use these columns of your paper to thank the participating members for their whole-hearted co-operation during the entire week and also members of the Coral Gables Garden Club through their president, Mrs. Charles Fuchs, and general chairman, Mrs. Fred Grinham, for the lovely flower arrangements displayed in the merchants' windows. "We hope this "Strolling Flower Show" may develop into an annual event that will be an additional feature to the already numerous attractions in our beautiful city."

Stricter Rules Seen for Draftees

Many Selective Service registrants who have been deferred from military service solely because they have dependents will eventually be inducted unless they become engaged in activities essential to the nation's war effort, Brigadier-General Vivian Collins, State Director of Selective Service, declared today. "We are rapidly approaching the stage where everyone must be working or fighting to win the war," the General asserted. War requirements—the demand for manpower by essential industries as well as the armed forces—will compel many local boards within the next several months to find selectees for their quotas among registrants who have dependents. "Right now local boards are reconsidering all registrants with dependency deferments for two major purposes. The first is to eliminate from this class all men who cannot prove that their dependents need their earned income for support in a reasonable manner and all who cannot prove that they did not acquire dependents to avoid military service. The second purpose is to distinguish between men who have dependents but are not engaged in activities aiding the nation's war effort and those who are contributing for victory by their work as civilians. "By making this distinction between those engaged in essential activities and those whose civilian occupations are not contributing to the war effort, it is desired to induce a voluntary movement of the latter into essential activities and thus to release for military service men without dependents who must be deferred as 'necessary men' un-said: til they can be replaced at their Persons engaged in non-essential activities, however, should not cease their present employment until their services are needed in some essential activity, the General warned. He said: "This voluntary movement from non-essential to essential activities should be a gradual, orderly and economically sound transfer of manpower. The Federal Government will make known, from time to time, the opportunities for training and employment in activities essential to the war effort so that this shift of employment may be made without unnecessary disturbance to the welfare of the community, the family and the individual. Each individual registrant, however, knows or should inquire into his own capabilities and the opportunities for employment in war industry, and should seek such employment without waiting for specific instructions from the Government. "When men with dependents are considered for military service, the General emphasized, local boards will have regard for occupation together with the degree of dependency. Registrants who have the greatest degree of dependency, such as a dependent wife and children, will be the last group sought for military service, he said, provided that they have become necessary men in war production or supporting activities." Can a recruit in the U. S. Navy or the Naval Reserve keep a camera on shipboard or at the Naval Training Station to which he is assigned? No. Cameras are contraband and so are jackknives, although new recruits will receive regulation Navy packknives shortly after their training periods begin. New recruits are requested not to bring watches, pins or rings, as they are not permitted to wear jewelry during their training periods.

How many U. S. Navy Recruiting Stations are there in

the country? There are 36 main stations distributed through 5 recruiting divisions and 259 recruiting substations. If an applicant passes his preliminary examination at one of the substations he is given credentials and told to report to one of the main stations in the large city nearest the substation where he will be given a thorough medical examination. If an applicant is rejected at the main station he will be given his transportation back to the substation from which he started.

TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING

“Advertise? I no need to advertise! I sell da apple without your “advertise.” I tink datsa foolish!” THESE FINE APPLES 3 for 10c TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING to Tony and he'll say, "I no advertise!" But, of course, you know that he's doing just that, perhaps in another way. He does it when he puts up that sign . . . when he paints his cart a bright red and blue so that it can be easily identified, so that it looks gay . . . when he stops at a busy corner, because Tony knows that he can sell more apples when more people see his apples . . . when he shouts "Apples!" as he pushes his cart along. TONY HAS LEARNED the first principle of successful selling: bring your wares before the eyes of great numbers of people and you can sell profitably. But not everyone in Coral Gables is a Tony, and few business men specialize in apples. Moreover, Tony is satisfied with the number of apples he sells. A progressive merchant would never stop there. Tony is advertising -yes, but in a feeble, limited sort of way. If you are not like Tony-if you are not satisfied with the number of "apples" you are selling, and you want to sell more-you'll advertise in a newspaper that has a loyal local following, one that is read by the people who are able to buy your "apples." In Coral Gables that paper is The Riviera. Advertise Where You Get the Best Results THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA READ BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY
