Junior Repertory Group To Give Hansel, Gretel

Hansel and Gretel, the nostalgic German fairy tale, will be the first offering of the newly formed Junior Repertory Theatre presented in six Christmas week matinees at the Gallery Playhouse, Coral Gables. After tryouts for the parts, the following junior actors and actresses, who have been in rehearsal for several weeks under the supervision of Ester Brezo, director of the JRT make up the cast. M.....el Fogerty will be "Hansel", and Sharon Saunders is "Gretel," (with alternate Susanne Carter). Tony Murphy will play the part of the wicked old "Witch." Dona Evans is the "Stepmother," and Howard Rosenfield is "Father." The first performance will take place Dec. 23 at 2:30 p.m. Other matinees will be Dec. 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31. First meeting of the newly formed Junior Repertory Theatre was held Nov. 23, in the studio home of Mr. and Mrs. Upton Ewing. The new organization is non profit. Mrs. Brezo has taught junior classes in dancing and acting. She keeps an entire wardrobe of costumes, including hats and shoes, for each of the junior plays she directs, in her studio back of the Gallery.

Indoor Sports Club Formed For Handicapped

The first chapter of the nation organization of Indoor Sport Clubs for the Physically Handicapped to be organized in the Greater Miami area will hold its second meeting on Dec. 16. The meeting at the Koubek Center, University of Miami, 2705 SW 3rd St., will be concerned with policies of the new Miami chapter, said Charles Allen, ne of the local chapter organizers. "We are devoted to a program of social rehabilitation for the disabled and expect to take on other projects when fully organized," he said. The Miami chapter was co-organized by Allen, 4995 SW 78th St., and Miss Susan White [?]00 W 63rd Ave. We now have charter signatures of eight people," said Allen. "We expect more at the next meeting and will submit our charter application to the national organization." Allen, chapter organizer for the national organization, recently came here from New York where he helped establish another chapter of the club. Indoor Sports Clubs for the Physically Handicapped have 100 chapters and over 3000 members throughout the United States, he said. "All members of the local chapters and all those who work in the national organization are physically handicapped," he added. For information concerning membership, phone MO 7-6125 or CE 5-2111.

'African Queen' Is Neglected

Coral Gables' lengthy efforts to obtain a new police boat were thwarted again Tuesday when the Commission received only one bid and decided to turn it down. A half dozen firms had been contacted to submit bids, but only one could meet the specifications as written by the city. The one and only bid came from Fisherman's Paradise for $2182 on a 19-foot, 75 horsepower outboard type boat and trailer. The new boat will replace the "African Queen" which will be relegated to bridge maintenance duty in the Coral Gables Navy.

Dancing Jack Stanly Is Teachers' Teacher

Greater Miami will, within a short time, rival New York City and Hollywood as a theatrical and art center. So believes Jack Stanly, one of Coral Gables' and New York's most successful dance instructors. Often referred to as "the teacher's teacher," Stanly now makes his headquarters, formerly in New York City, in Coral Gables. His studio at 179 Giralda serves as a starting point for many dancing hopefuls on the way to stardom. The New York School operates only during summer months. Stanly, or "Colonel Stanly" as he is sometimes known, is a native of Louisville, Ky. In 1954 he was commissioned by former Gov. Lawrence Wetherby as a Kentucky Colonel, a recognition for "a native son's outstanding contributions to the performing arts." His career began at 16 when he went to New York and studied under numerous instructors. As a featured dancer with various stars and their shows, he traveled across both American continents. He was the youngest featured performer of the Ziegfield Follies of 1928. Further contacts led him to association with such bands as Rudy Vallee and Paul Whiteman. Whiteman, in an introduction of a Jack Stanly group on TV said, "When you want silver, look for sterling. When you want dancing, look for Jack Stanly." Stanly, originator of the technique exercises now used for basic tap, is still creating. In seeing Miami placed on a level with New York and Hollywood, he plans to contribute his own talent and ideas. Plans for a civic dance group known as The Performing Arts Group of Coral Gables have been outlined. The purpose of the group is to perform for civic and charitable organizations and give assistance to JACK STANLY local students interested in a career as a performing artist or teacher. Through this purpose interest in all forms of the dance will be stimulated. The group has already made a good start. Their first appearance was before the Jewish War Veterans at a dinner at the Candlelight Inn. Featured in the group were Ron Daniels, Ronnie Reynolds, Muffet Elmore, Steffi Fox and Robert Conine, all students at the Coral Gables studio. Full Schedule Stanly, who owns a home on San Marco Isle, has a full schedule before him. He will appear as the featured guest teacher at the Christmas week convention sponsored by the Dance Masters of America in New York City. After the New Year, he will conduct sponsored one-day teacher and student sessions for dance organizations and private groups in New Orleans, Houston, Tulsa, Denver, Chicago, Jacksonville and St. Petersburg.

Bomb Shelters Raise Problem In Coral Gables

The Coral Gables Zoning Board has been asked to present recommendations on setbacks and spacing requirements for erection of bomb or fallout shelters. I. Tommy Thomas, recently appointed chairman of the Dade County Zoning Board, made the request. Thomas, a Gables resident and former member of the Gables Zoning Board, indicated the information was needed by Metro which is studying survival steps in the atomic age. The studies are concerned with shelter requirements when the structure is attached to an existing building or detached as an accessory building. Thomas' request will be an unusually difficult one for the Gables which has strict zoning laws on land coverage and erection of auxiliary buildings.

Library Adds Civil War Book

"The Confederate Soldier in the Civil War," recently added to the Reference Department of the Coral Gables Public Library, is an exact facsimile of a rare pictorial history first published in 1895. It has been republished in honor of the approaching centennial. Campaigns, sea and land battles, seiges and skirmishes are all here, vividly described in the words of active participants. There are literally thousands of pictures - battle scenes, forts, ships, people and places including photographs and sketches of actual battles made during the war itself.

Named By Accountants

Prof. Conley R. Addington, of the University of Miami accounting department, has been named to the American Accounting Association committee on income tax instruction for 1961.
