Gesu Bids Gables Singers Try for Light Opera Roles

Songsters of the Gesu Drama Guild hit high C and low B today as tryouts got under way for presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera "The Gondoliers." Fred La France, director of the Guild, invited Coral Ga-bles vocalists—whether baritone, bass or soprano—to try for the many still unfilled roles in the light opera which is to be presented around the first of the year. Rehearsals will begin as soon as the cast of 36 voices, including 12 soloists, has been selected, he said. Successful candidates for parts in the rollicking "Gondoliers" thus far were Robert Geigau, Doreen O'Neill Curtis, John Edward Cur-tis, Marion Dawson, William Fol-well, Monte Fremont, Mary Grayce Helen Green, Katherine Huber, Ann Haskins, Mary Jane Johnson, Robert Lehr, Elizabeth Schleifer and Tony Watson. The Guild, a non-sectarian or-ganization, was founded in 1946 by the Rev. J. McAtee, S. J., with the aim of furthering cultural in-terests among people of greater Miami. Any singers interested in tak-ing part in the operatic produc-tion were urged to telephone Di-rector La France at the Gesu Center, 2-3223.

Sue Jenkins Sells Gifts

By HELEN REYNOLDS Pretty Sue Jenkins practically sells gifts for the home with one hand and skillfully handles the controls of a cabin cruiser with the other. Her hobbies, therefore, are second to her career, but they take no back seat. She loves to aqua-plane and is becoming adept with water skis. And that, we need not tell you, requires tops in skill. Mrs. Harold Jenkins is co-part-ner with her husband in the own-ership and active management of the Patio Shop on Coral Way. A native Miamian, she was Sue Jones before marriage, and her parents were pioneers of Little River. Her education, including business courses, was completed in Cleve-land, Ohio, where the family lived for a few years. Returning to Miami Sue mar-ried Harold Jenkins, also a native Miamian, a manufacturer, with his father, of cypress furniture. Strictly wholesalers, the company supplied the larger furniture deal-ers only. When the young couple decided to start on their own, husband Harold was inclined to try his wings in another line of merchan-dise. But wisely Sue decided they had better stick to the tried and true. "I had interior decorating in the back of my mind," she told your re-porter, "for a long time and I thought with my husband's ex-perience in furniture, now was the time to branch out into the really beautiful things for the home." The Jenkinses chose Coral Gables for their venture, and in the two years they have been in business have increased their floor space and stock to meet the ever increasing patronage. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins are de-voted to their son Denis, "Denny" at eight, attends the Merrick Demonstration School, and helps daddy in the shop. "Trixie" is their dog, who adopted them one day. She is without benefit of pedigree, but is beloved by the three Jen-kinses, as much as if she had a family tree a yard long, and is a lot smarter her owners declare. Their home is in South Miami. Members of the Country Club of Coral Gables, Mrs. Jenkins likes to dance and counts this pleasur-able pastime along with swimming and family jaunts on the Criscraft for recreation.
