BRIEF SKETCHES OFTHE CONTRIBUTORSALBERT SHAW

Dean of American publisherswhose influence as editor of the"Review of Reviews" was inter-national, Dr. Albert Shaw is oneof Winter Park's most distin-guished residents. He was duringhis long and active career friendand advisor of Presidents, and con-sulted by foreign statesmen. He isnotable for an imperturbable faithin American international policybecause, in his own words—"thesense of right direction is whatsaves us . , . it has always foundits bearings in the national devo-tion to ideals of justice, order andpeace."

MARJORIE KINNANRAWLINGS

Florida's "Big Scrub," that greatstretch of the State's primitivearea bounded by the St. Johns andOcklawaha Rivers, came into then a t i o n a l consciousness throughMarjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Hernovel, "South Moon Under," choiceby Book of the Month Club, gaveher renown, graphically describedits scene and its life. Her char-acters were declared by critics to

ba the last of the pioneers. Mrs.Rawlings is a vig'orous out-of-doors woman who has lived andhunted in the "Big Scrub," ownsand operates a grove near Haw-thorne, Fla., and keeps up her lit-erary output as well. Her lastbook was "Cross Creek"," another"Big Scrub" story.

JOHN R. MOTT.Out of the first World War came

a poignant realization of the needfor Christians of all churches towork together. As head of theYoung Men's Christian Associa-tion, Dr. John R. Mott was in con-tact with hopaful c h u r c h m e nthroughout the world, his faith andenergy in behalf of a more effec-tive Christianity have been activein the World Ecumenical Councilwhich seeks to break down the bar-riers that prevent peoples of allnations from following the prin-ciples for which Christ laid downhis life. A g-reat creative move-ment for good pan ba carried on,says Dr. Mott, if we will pay theprice. Dr. Mott is a winter resi-dent of Orlando.

ROY CRANEOld as the Egyptians and yet

quite the most modernistic ofprinted matter today is the car-toon. The strips pass before mil-lions morning, noon and night; theirpower to amuse , and quicken theimagination is immense, but alsotheir power to undermine goodmanners is deplorable. Roy Craneis one of the most successful ofyoung Americans who have madethis field their own. His drawing isnot for art critique; his American-ism is happily above reproach. Hishero, "Capt. Easy," is a sublima-tion of all the qualities that appealto the natural sense of fair play inevery boy. Mr. Crane is an Or-landoan by domicile but he lives inevery town in the United States

have their hero: the youngster whostarted out to fight a "one-manwar," but learned that his buddiesought to be taken along to make acomplete job of it. Colonel Scott'sfirst book, "God Is My Co-Pilot,"took the place of a thousand trashyso-called thrillers." This was thereal thrill, every page of it, and itdidn't take the film industry longto put it on the screen. ColonelScott has followed it up with an-other book called "Damned toGlory," which tells of the heroicflyers of every front. ColonelScott and his wife and family areresidents of Winter Park.

JESSIE B. RITTENHOUSEAt the center of Winter Park's

literary colony is Jessie B. Ritten-house, founder of the Poetry So-ciety of America, and for 10 yearsits secretary. She was a pioneerin the movement for the stady andcriticism of the poetry of our times,lecturing before colleges and clubsand founding branches of thePoetry Society in many states. Shewrote the first critical book on themodern school, called "YoungerAmerican Poets;" edited the firstanthology in the purely contem-porary field, "Little Book of Mod-em Verse," which sold over 200,000copies. During 10 years on thestaff of the New York Times BookReview, Miss Rittenhouse was oneof the first to write of RobertFrost, Carl Sandburg and AmyLowell. • Miss Rittenhouse alsowrote four volumes of her ownverse each of which has gonethrough several editions. The year1934 brought her autobiographycalled "My House of Life," a storyof rich experience and inspiring toambitious writers. With her hus-band, Clinton Scollard, also a well-known poet, she came to WinterPark 20 years ago, continuing hereher active encouragement of poetrythrough the Poetry Society ofFlorida, which she founded'.xxrxxxxiTxirxTxrixxxxiTx

KAY STANNARD BAKERFriend and official biographer of

Woodrow Wilson, Ray StannardBaker came through one of thestormiest periods of American pol-itics and social change, As editoron the Chicago Record, McClure'sand the American Magazine, aswell as contributor to other lead-ing publications, Mr. Baker was awriter of far-reaching influencewho sought rather than avoided theexplanation of social unrest. "WhatI wished most" he wrote, "was tobe an introducer of human beingsto one another, to be a maker ofunderstandings—those deep under-standings which underlie any socialchange that is effective and per-manent."

THOMAS DREIERBrought up on a Wisconsin farm

like Carl Sandburg, Thomas Drejerhas had a life of immensely variedexperience. He passed through oneoccupation after another — gadgetsalesman on corners, bartender,candy maker, millhand, barber,waiter, reporter, printer's i devil,finally an editor and authority onadvertising and publicity. Mr.Dreier is always a popular speaker,this being his third appearance onthe Animated. He is a resident ofSt. Petersburg.

audiences. Soo Yong has had aand

gbrilliant career on stagescreen. Her own monologues incostume last season at the Audito-rium were the most delightful en-tertainment and kept a capacityaudience intent for the entire eve-ning without the assistance of anysupporting talent. One of hermost effective assets is a voice ofgreat expressiveness and amplepower.

PRESTONIA MANN MARTINDespite her love of fun, exempli-

fied in her "Grandma's BirthdayVerses" given at last year's Ani-mated Magazine, Prestonia MannMartin is naturally a serious-minded person who, like her kins-man, Horace Mann, has alwayscherished the desire to improve theconditions of her fellow-beings.He sought to abolish ignorance bypublic school; she sought to abol-ish poverty by a national indus-trial institution.

The National Livelihood Plan,set forth in "Prohibiting Poverty,"views the nation as one big family,who has its living to get and cando it most securely and swiftly bycooperating to that end. It proposesthat all of the nation's able-bodiedyouth shall after a high school edu-

cation has first been achieved, beorganized industrially to produceand distribute freely to the entirenation a sufficiency of necessarygoods and services to constitute adecent livelihood.

At the conclusion of their termof service the young people woulddisperse to their homes where theywould receive for life free theirnecessary rations. Meanwhile theirplaces in the ranks would be takenby fresh recruits coming- up annu-ally in turn from the schools. Thusa continuous stream of necessarythings and services would be keptflowing out upon the whole peoplewhile the graduates from the serv-ice would be free for life to enterany pursuit they choose—their liv-ing being1 always secure,

The American people may not bewilling as yet (until they have hada few more depressions each worsethan the last) to adopt so drastica plan as this, but if they ever doreally make up their minds to abol-ish poverty, and if they ever dodetermine to attain to the steadyand permanent prosperity forwhich all long, and if they everfully realize that such prosperitycan only be attained by means offull employment (aside from waremployment) then, the authormaintains these ends can be ob-tained by the adoption of this plan.

MASS IN B MINORFEATURE OF FESTIVALThe tenth anniversary of the

Bach Festival of Winter Park willtake place March 1st and 2nd inKnowles Memorial Chapel, RollinsCollege, with the "Mass in BMinor," as its principal feature.

An impressive array of musicalforces will take part in the Fes-tival under the direction of Dr.Christopher 0. Honaas. Four ofthe most distinguished artists inthe concert and oratorio field willcomprise the solo quartet: LuraStover, soprano; Lydia Summers,contralto; Harold Haugh, tenor,and J. Alden Edkins, haritone. In-strumentalists from famous or-ganizations will assist members ofthe Rollins Faculty in an orches-tra which will augment the organaccompaniments of Prof. HermanF. Siowert. The great FestivalChorus, which includes the Rollins

Chapel Choir, and many prominentchoir soloists of Winter Park andOrlando, will as usual, be one ofthe principal enjoyments of theoccasion.

That the Festivals have nowreached their tenth year and havenever had a deficit is a matter ofgratification to the Bach FestivalSociety, but it would be a mistaketo conclude that thy Festival hadbeen so liberally supported that ithas no financial woriics. Quite thjcontrary is the case, for each yearit has required the tireless effortsof its devoted workers and care-ful and prudent management. Bachyear it has b-̂ en necessary to se-cure anew sufficient sponsors tomeet the expenses, chief of whichis that of soloists? and instrumen-talists. The cutting off of trans-portation, for example, which haseliminated the attendance from anyconsiderable distance, was a feiiousblow to the support of the Festival

and had to be met by greater effortlocally.

The achievement of the BachFestival Society for the musicaleducation of Florida is impressiveand merits wider support than ithas received. Florida singers werefor the first time trained to singthe greatest choral works, andFlciiaa audiences for the first timeheard them with the finest soloists.Here in Winter Park have beenpeil'ormed the "St. Matthew's Pas-sion,'•' "St. John's Passion," the "BMinor Mass" and a score of Bach'sCantatas, all masterpieces of mu-sical art that only a few long es-tablished musical centers are priv-ileged to hear.

Established as a high artisticideal and a strictly non-profit un-dtitaking, the Festivals are pri-marily of a devotional and educa-tional character, and organized onin', appropriate basis of communitysevvke, Those who wish to cooper-

ate in this movement and attendthe Festival are asked to partici-pate as Sponsors, giving theirchecks for $10 to the Bach Fes-tival Society, Box 745, WinterPark, in return for which cardswill be mailed to them reservingtwo seats for each of the threeprograms, All seats are reservedfor Sponsors or those to whom theygive their cards.

The Board of Trustees of theBach Festival Society includesBrvin T. Brown, Benjamin R. Cole-man, Dr. Hamilton Holt, Dr. Chris-topher 0, Honaas, Mrs. Chai'lesSprague-Smith, Mrs. Frances War-ren and William E. Winderweedle.

James F r i s k i n, distinguishedpianist, of New York, was thehouse guest of Prof, and Mrs, Wil-liam Melcher of Gleneoe Avenueduring his stay in Winter Park,The Melcher's daughter, Miss Ruth,was a pupil of Mr. Friakin, at theJuillard School o:E Music.

MRS. WEST HONORED MRS. BROWNE DISCUSSESAT CASA IBERIA NEGRO BEFORE A.A.U.W.

The Rollins Decoration of Honor,given by the Trustees of RollinsCollege in recognition of distin-guished services, was presented toMrs. Calvin A. West of Orlandoyesterday in a special ceremony atthe Casa Iberia, Inter-AmericanCenter of the College.

In presenting Mrs. West to Pres-ident Hamilton Holt for the' dec-oration, Professor Hanna said"Mrs. West's understanding of theenduring values of the Hispaniccivilization, and her conviction thatthe people of the United Statesmust study without ceasing theHispanic culture in the Americashave moved her to play a conspicu-ous role in the advancement of re-lations between the United Statesand Latin America not only as awar necessity but as a basis forworld peace. Her convictions havebeen expressed in generous but un-announced gifts to the Library ofthe Hispanic Institute in Floridaof which she is a director, and in amajor sponsorship of Casa Iberia,"

Awarding the honor, PresidentHolt cited Mrs. West for "the in-spiring example you have set allof us, and particularly the youthof our land, in your wise and gra-cious use of human resources, bothspiritual and material, and espe-cially for the beauty and useful-ness of your life as a friend of edu-cation, both here and elsewhere."
