George Bernard Shaw's popularcomedy, "Candida", will be stagedin the Annie Russell Theatre onFriday and Saturday evenings,January 17 and 18, at 8:15 by agroup of the Rollins Student Play-ers under the direction of ProfessorHoward Bailey as the third majorproduction of the Players this year.A matinee performance is also an-nounced for 2:30 Saturday after-noon.

An experienced cast, composedof Patricia Pritchard, Donald Mur-phy, John Buckwalter, Jane Parks,Jess Gregg and John Campbell,has been selected by DirectorBailey to interpret the "Irish Mas-ter's" great satire of the triangu-lar marital situation. Although"Candida" was written in 1895,Shaw's foresight and masterfulstyle have prevented the dialogueand ideas from . being dated, andthe play is as pertinent today as itwas at its first presentation.

The single stage setting, depict-ing a combination library and liv-ing room of an English parsonage,has. been designed by ProfessorDonald S. Allen and constructedby stagecraft students.

Under the title, The Adamic Prel-udes and Other Paintings, the Re-search Studio Gallery in Maitlandwill open its third exhibition of theseason with the work of JohnHawkins, at present a resident art-ist of the Research Studio.

These paintings and decorationsare exceptional not only in theirimaginative conception but also inthe unusual effectiveness of theircolor. Following his art schoolingMr. Hawkins spent ten years as adesigner of stage setting's and cos-tumes for many of the well-knownNew York producers. And whatmight be called a dramatic accentis still evident in all his work inspite, of his definite withdrawalfrom the theatre in order to devotehimself entirely to painting.

In addition to an exacting tech-nical handling, Mr. Hawkins' paint-ings are distinguished by an excep-tional color brilliance. It is evi-dent at a glance that the creativeprocess in all that this artist hasdone is the result of a thoroughnessthat begins with his first tryoutsketches and ends in his meticu-lously finished paintings. In hiswork there is neither slap-dasherynor the sudden- bursts of impres-sionism. Many of his paintingshave taken the greater part of a

An interesting concert was givenunder the auspices of the OrlandoWednesday Music Club at the Sor-osis on Wednesday evening, whenMiss Eloise Temple, soprano, andMiss Lucy Marshall, contralto,pupils of Mme. Louise Homer, werepresented in a varied program ofsongs, arias and duets, from well-known composers, including Mr.Sidney Homer.

These young singers both showeda wealth of vocal material whichhad been very evidently schooledby an experienced teacher. Theirnumbers . were greatly enjoyed bya large audience which applaudedenthusiastically.

It is perhaps a significant com-pliment to pay Miss Marshall tosay that she sings with much thesame vocal color, resonance andpower that characterized the sing-ing of her famous instructor, —although, of course, there is con-siderable for Miss Marshall tolearn to measure up to that Metro-politan standard..

Miss Temple disclosed true so-prano timbre and an ingratiatingstyle, which, added to her widerange and flexibility, will enableher to travel far on the road toartistic success.

The audience included a: numberof Winter Parkians who are al-ready conscious and proud of thelocation of Mme. Homer's schoolhere, and look forward to furtherdemonstrations of its work.

Miss Leonard's great ambitions forher orchestra.

On January 14 the program willbe rounded out with Anton Dvor-ak's outstanding "New World"Symphony, which sprang from avisit to America that was made bythe noted Bohemian composer.

The remaining concerts of the1941 series as now scheduled willbe performed February 4 andMarch 18, followed by a productionof the Gilbert & Sullivan operetta,"Pinafore", as an orchestra bene-fit.

Ticket reservations and seasonsubscriptions are available to allinterested music lovers on applica-tion to The Bookery, or to the Sym-phony Society, Box 455, WinterPark. President George C. Keiser,of the Symphony Society, has ap-pealed for t-he generous support ofall friends of the orchestra to as-sure a successful season. .

The death of Miss Leonard inNew York last October was a seri-ous loss to the musical society ofCentral Florida and the symphonyorchestra organization, and it isconcrete evidence of the signifi-cance and substantial vitality ofMiss Leonard's life work thatJanuary 14 will see the opening ofthe 14th season of symphony per-formances.

The importance of a symphonyorchestra of the quality of Mr.Bloch's ensemble is seldom fullyappreciated for its full value in thecivic and cultural development of acommunity like Winter Park. Theconcerts add immeasurably to themusical and aesthetic prestige ofCentral Florida and prove a majorfactor in the spiritual leadershipwhich Winter Park has maintainedover'other resort cities in. recentyears.

"One of the very best, if not thebest, orchestra in the United Statesoutside of the chief metropolitancenters."

These are the words in which Dr.Hamilton Holt, president of RollinsCollege, characterized the Sym-phony Orchestra of Central Floridarecently in a published tribute tothe late Miss Mary L. Leonard ofWinter Park. The statement re-flects the opinion of hundreds ofmusic lovers in Florida who havefollowed with interest and appre-ciation the progress of ConductorAlexander Bloch's remarkable en-semble in recent concert seasons.

WILLIAM F. PELHAM ADDS HIS PRAISETO THE CHORUS OF WINTER PARK ADMIRERS

(Ed. Note: Mr. Pelliam, beforecoming to Winter Park, was one ofChicago's most active business menand his acquaintanceship coversmany states. He has his. own rea-sons for liking Winter Park and hehas demonstrated his admiratioh ••with constant service in all jeorrU imunity movements for welfare and •betterment.) ' ' .

To answer the query, "Why WeLike It In Winter Park?" can besummed up in very few words, orcan be elaborated upon volumi-nously.

There is little in Winter Parkthat cannot be found elsewhere.On the other hand, there is no com-munity where we have been, thatembraces so many of the thingsthat we enjoy that are so close athand.

Some ten years_ ago we made ourfirst visit to Winter Park, whiletraveling through the state look-ing for a place we might find at-tractive enough for us to retire toand enjoy our latter years. Ourfirst stop within the city limitswas outside the old Winter ParkBank Building (now owned and oc-cupied by Mr. Fred L. Hall as aReal Estate office). While waitingfor a friend my wife and childrenbecame deeply impressed with thebeauties of the park surroundingthe railroad station, and thoughtany community that had sufficientcivic interest to maintain a beautyspot in the center of its city wasworth knowing more about.

The late Mr. Fred Cady at thattime took us on a "personally con-ducted" tour throughout the city;through the then "Brewer Estate"which was a^show place,_ and otherattractive spots," then around theRollins Campus and the variouslakes and everything -we saw im-pressed us favorably. In thosedays I thought we might enjoy liv-ing here. Subsequently, we cameto Winter Park; expected the best,and we have not been disappointed.

Being actively identified with ourChurch for many years, we found,of course, delightful church affilia-tions here. Having had a fairlydeveloped liking for music and thecultural things of life, we foundplenty to satisfy and nurture thesetastes, Although not overstockedwith intellectual attainments, wehad an admiration for those whowere more fortunate in this regardand have realized great benefit insitting at the feet of our learnedneighbors,', and absorbing whatlittle our capacity could contain.Being of a somewhat sociable na-ture we have found an abundanceof like-minded fellow creatures,with whom association has been aconstant delight. The opportuni-ties for contacts through theWoman's Club, Garden Clubs,Chamber of Commerce, Golf Clubs,Service Clubs and the UniversityClub, are numerous and satisfac-tory.

The above, coupled with the na-.

tural beauty and delightful climateand vegetation, unusual to thosewhose lives :have been spent in theNorth, and the interest of the com-munity in its upkeep and improve-ment, surely make Winter Park all

..one (who has reached the time,when relaxation is thoroughly de-sired, if not entirely earned) couldwish for; and while some still craveexhilaration, Mrs. Pelham and Iare glad to enjoy relaxation. Afterall this I forgot to comment on thebeautiful sky by day and the won-derful moonlight nights.

WILLIAM F. PELHAM.

LECTURE AUDIENCEAPPLAUDS DR. MO WAT

(Continued from page 1)

to you personally about Dr.Mowat's first lecture, in his seriesof four.

This one covered the relation-ships of the United States andGreat Britain during the compara-tively peaceful period of the nine-teenth century when the oceans ofthe world were kept open to all na-tions for trade and travel by thepolice power of the British navy.

This lecture took us to 1898; thesecond will carry us to the openingof the present war; the third willcoyer the dual relationships throughthis war and its immediate out-look, while the fourth will dealwith the probable future in thelong view.

Never has the writer more thor-oughly enjoyed a presentation anda personality than during this firstlecture., Dr. . Mowat'^ delightfulmanner, his perfect sincerity, and'modesty, his humor and his frank-ness, as well as his extraordinarycommand of events, dates, eminentindividuals, their standings andhistories, may well inspire some-what of awe in his audience. Heis a typical English cultured gen-tleman, whose charm is immediateand whose whimsical smile lifts theheart. He has a shy manner atfirst, which promptly enrolls all hishearers as his friends.

This writer's advice is: do notmiss the three ensuing lectures atyour peril!

Harvey S. Chase.

Dr. John Martin opened hisseries of lectures on Thursdaymorning, his subject, "The WorldSituation and the Battle of Brit-ain."
