The Gypsy Fiesta is coming!Winter Park's own folksy MardiGras is coming on Thursday next,Feb. 13th.

In past years the Gypsy Fiestawas held in April but this was toolate for many of our winter visit-ors to enjoy the fun, so the datehas been moved forward. A realcircus tent on the vacant lot acrossfrom the Annie Russell Theatreand the Chapel, will house the"midway."

The Gypsy Fiesta is a big out-door and indoor show for every-body who likes to join, in and havea pleasant sort of carnival time.It is sponsored by the Women'sAssociation of Rollins College 'andwill have all the students to helpput it over.

COUNT DE NOUE'S STORYIt was a fascinating story that

Comte de Noue told of his experi-ences as a liaison officer with theEnglish forces in the Dunkerqueepisode. Speaking perfect Englishthat carried perfectly to the lastrow of the Auditorium, the young-Frenchman sped on through themost amazing details of what hap-pened in May and June of last yearwhen Hitler broke through andbrave' men suffered for the treach-ery of the "fifth column.'1 Therewere no apologies for France noresentments at Hitler, it was all anews story in which the narratorwas present. Amazing to hearthat English people were enjoyingtheir bath in the surf when theirsoldiers were coming back acrossthe Channel naked and spent, thatgolf and cricket were going on asif nothing- were the matter. Ofcourse it changed when the full im-pact of the tragedy broke.

Count de Noue's storv is a grimenough reminder that "Vigilance isthe price of liberty" and it mightbe well for him to speak at thehearing on the "Lease and lend"bill.

WELFARE WORKOne of the best reasons for

meeting the budget of the Win-ter Park Welfare Association isquite unconsciously described ina letter written to Winter ParkTopics by Mr. Abram De Rondewhich will be found on anotherpage. The apparent absence ofdistress in Winter Park is dueto the fact that we make the ef-fort to efficiently take care of itbefore it is forced out on thestreet to become a derision to aChristian spirit. This shouldamply convince our citizens oftheir privilege to give.

"UNION NOW" DEBATEBY STREIT AND DAVIS

State-wide interest has been at-tracted by the impending publicdebate here between Hayne Davis,lecturer and writer on interna-tional peace through law, andClarence K. Streit, author of "Un-ion Now," which will take placenext Monday evening, February 10,at 8:15 o'clock in the Winter Parkhigh, school auditorium. The twoleading authorities on internationalquestions will debate the issue "Re-solved, that the United States.Should Form a Federal 'UnionNow with the British Common-wealth of Nations" with Mr. Streitdefending the affirmative and Mr.Davis the negative side of thequestion.

The debate will be presented un-der the auspices of the RollinsAdult Education Program, and willbe open to the public withoutcharge.

Mr. Streit, former foreign cor-respondent for the New YorkTimes and the Philadelphia PublicLedger, urges a union of the de-inoeacies immediately, while Mr.Davis, who has been presenting aseries of public lectures here onthis subject, holds that a federalunion of all nations of the worldis the most logical way to substi-tute law for war.

GANDHI'S FRIEND TOTELL OF INDIA'S STAKEDr. Haridas T. Muzumdar. a

personal friend of Mahatma Gan-dhi and a noted lecturer and au-thor, will speak at ten o'clock nextMonday morning in the WinterPark High School auditorium as aspecial feature of the Mondaymorning lecture series being pre-sented in honor of the late Dr.Thomas Chalmers. Dr. Muzumdar,who is making his only appearancein this section under the auspicesof the Rollins College Adult Edu-cation Program, will entitle his ad-dress. "India's Stake in Europe'sWar."

"WUTHERING HEIGHTS""Wuthering Heights" at the

Annie Russell Theatre had manyexcellent points. The selection ofthis sombre story as a vehicle forthe talents of Cathie Bailey wasperhaps justified, but there weredrawbacks. The version lacked theBronteian atmosphere, it left toomuch to be filled in by the admirerof the book. In addition the playnecessarily has a bottle-neck inthe part of Heathcliff. His is therugged, uncompromising, demoniccharacter on which the whole storyhinges, and the tragedy is uncon-vincing without his dominance.This was too great a requirementfor Dudley Darling and the conse-quence was a failure to fully dram-atize the story. Miss Bailey justi-fied the admiration which has beenexpressed for her talents. She wasvery effective in most of the play,her elocution much improved overformer appearances in this thea-tre, her action natural and con-vincing; at her best in the scenewhere she torments Isabelle, shefailed to seize her really great mo-ment in the midnight scene. Thatpoint in the story is its psychologi-cal climax, a failure to fully de-velop the self-revelation and newturn of her life left the last act ananti-climax in which Isabelle be-came the center of the story. Andit must be said that VirginiaBrown rose to the greatest dra-matic height of the play in thislast act, an unintentional distortionof the true relative values madeinevitably by her own fine talent,the weakness of the Heathcliff andCathie's failure to fully take ad-vantage of the midnight scene.

and their little flock of song-birdsto its hospitable heart Tuesdayevening at the Symphony Concert.When the seven pretty youngwomen came upon the stage tosing the songs of Sidney Homerthere was a welcoming- salvo of en-c6urageinent; when they sang withsuch aplombe and vigor it was easyto see the influence of that regalAmneris who once ruled the Metro-politan on the nights of "Aida."That seven prima donnas could beexpected to subordinate themselvesin the minor relationships of partsinging was not to be expected andwould have been little less than awaste of their brilliant attributes.

Under Mr. Bloeh's discerningleadership the orchestra gave agood account of the Tschaikowski

NfOTHER TRIBUTETO WINTER PARK

Winter Park, Jan. 31, 1941.litor Winter Park Topics,sar Sir:May I offer a few remarks, per-ps thoughts, about Winter Parkrough your interesting publica-m.This is my fourth consecutiveason of six months, in this rest-1 and well ordered place, Theing that appeals to me most, isere does not seem to be anythingfind fault with. Of course thereast be a local government, but ites not obtrude itself upon one'stice. All public service and util-' corporations appear to be work-l smoothly and so satisfactorilyat no comment is heard.The streets are all in good con-;ion, it is a pleasure to ride uponem. The Police Department ist in evidence but they must beown far and wide, as no hobo,imp or even a disorderly personever seen upon the streets.On my first arrival here I found,the house I had rented, a card

am the Police saying: "We areur friends, m case of any unrulysturbance night or day give us alg, we will be there." This Ive found, is the disposition ofe entire population.I have read with interest whattiers, residing here, have saidout Winter Park and agree withI of it, but feel they have over-jkecl something that cannot been except with the "Mind's Eye."How shall we account for theparently natural mesmerism thatems to affect all visitors favor-•ly?Many years ago I recall readingbook about Florida in which it

stated that under its prevalent cov-ering of white sand there was asolid foundation of rock. I t oc-curred to me this might possiblybe some sort of a loadstone andthat may be its natural attractiveenergy looking for escape fromthe under world may have foundan opportunity^ to get above groundsomewhere within the limits ofWinter Park. Be this as it may,nature has richly endowed thisplace in various ways. As this isdiscovered, people coming here toinvestigate are amazed and de-lighted to find an atmosphere socongenial.

Aside from nature's gifts, Rol-lins College is unquestionably theoutstanding and leading human ef-fort in the upbuilding and develop-ment of Winter Park. It is re-sponsible for so many people ofcharacter, personality and accom-plishment making this their home,that it has become known as anincomparable place for a peaceful,comfortable, pleasant life, withevery necessity at hand.

I have been told that in address-ing the public by voice or by writ-ing, it is well to precede it with ashort story to induce a friendlyfeeling. My idea has always beenthe time a friendly feeling is mostwelcome is at the finish. So I havepushed along to the end that Imight quote a few words recentlycome to mv notice.

"Some one said to a companion:'Do you know in all this worldthere are no two people exactlyalike?' 'Yes; they tell me both ofthem are glad of it'."

Respectfully yours.ABRAM DE RONDE

by the Covenant of the League ofNations on member states. Com-mitments are the teeth of theLeague, force put behind righteousindignation to implement justice.When the United States, conferringwith members of the League inGeneva, advised moral force, suchas non-recognition of conqueredterritory, but refused to commit it-self to economic action to force thewithdrawal of the aggressor, thewhole sacrifice for the principle ofcollective security was thrown onthe nations which were members ofthe League. Cue example: TheBritish oil firms said at the timeof the invasion of Ethiopia that ifthe government imposed oil sanc-

tions their business would be takenover by the American firms and sotheir sacrifices would not checkMussolini. Dr. Mowat, while prais-ing the high moral stand of ourgovernment, wished_ his hearers toxmderstand that without commit-ments we could not aid effectivelyin the maintenance of peace.

Secret treaties seek to obtainsome advantage; commitments, asused in international problems, im-pose some sacrifice for the sake ofthe ultimate good. Under theCovenant of the League of Nationsall treaties were registered withthe Secretariat in Geneva, thusoutlawing all secret agreements.

Josepha Whitney.

"COMMITMENT"Editor Winter Park Topics.Dear Sir: . . • :

In your last edition an article byMr. Harvey S. Chase, praising thetalk given by Dr. Mowat, raised aquestion as to the meaning of theword "commitment" he used in ex-plaining why Britain and Francedid not co-operate with SecretaryStimson. Mr, Chase asked: " . . .commitments, (secret treaties?)"and this question requires an an-swer, as others may not have un-derstood the narrow sense in whichDr. Mowat used the word. Theterm commitment when used indiscussion of international rela-tions refers to obligations imposed

MB. CHARLES F. SCHMIDT

Friends of Mr. Chas. F. Schmidt,residing at 312 Palmer Ave., willbe distressed to learn that hepassed away on Wednesday after-noon. He and Mrs. Schmidt camedown to their home here from theirhome in Pleasantville, N. Y., inDecember. He had been quite illsince his arrival. The body willbe sent north and the funeral serv-ice will be held there. He was 74years old. Mrs. Schmidt plans toreturn later in the season.

ROMANCE IN HILLTOWNSOF FRENCH RIVIERA

A rich flavor of romance and anequal helping of make-believeseems to have entered into the cre-ation of the paintings of the hill-towns of the French Riviera whichAndre Smith is now exhibitingat the Research Studio Gallery atMaitland.

Unless you have visited this partof France and traveled the highmountain roads in back of Cannesand Nice you will have every rea-son to believe that Mr. Smith hasallowed his fancy to overrun itselfin this series of pictures in whichhe takes us to one sky-high villageafter another. In one or two ofhis paintings we are at sea level;especially in the delightful bluewatercolor of the harbor at St.Tropez and again in the streetscene that shows the market atAntibes. But otherwise the trailis always upward and the circuitof paintings takes us from one fas-cinating; and almost unbelievablemountain village to another.

In his twelve watercolors andtwenty-five oils Mr. Smith gives usan exceptionally true conception ofthese Riviera villages which intheir, picturesque simplicity are insharp contrast with the fashionablewaterfront cities with their luxur-ious hotels and smart gatheringplaces. In speaking of this con-trast Mr. Smith said: "I know of

WINTER PARK TOPICS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1941

no other sketching1 ground where tiiii-ii'ii-U-iUl-iiit-iiiUMiiMlii-iiiiiione can be lost in the dark ages itand a few minutes later emerge inthe glittering world of fashion. Wewould be sketching in one of theseancient villages above Cannes andthen in order to appear at a cock-tail party on the waterfront wewould turn our car down grade,glide over precipitous roadwaysand coast to a standstill in frontof the glittering palace of refresh-ment, a wide terrace of small ta-bles punctuated with gay umbrel-las and gayer people."

In his collection of paintings,Andre Smith shows us only the oldworld places and the one or twocafes that enter these colorfulcompositions are obviously of andfor the hilltown people who fromtheir lofty mountain terraces canin more than one sense look downon their fashionable neighbors.

This exhibition at the ResearchStudio Gallery is a delightfulmeans of forgetting the threat ofwar and rearmament, and as ameans of enjoying a few minutesof escape, entertainment and goodart it is highly recommended. TheGallery is open to the public everyafternoon from two to five, admis-sion free.
