A century old Iberian tradition sees the Gypsy band and relatives from Florida to Virginia feasting on Easter in memory of their late King Joe Mitchell who died last November. Madam Marie leads the event as Leo McGill of Jacksonville drives the king‑candidates, while Mitchell’s widow and 16 children join the gathering. A $10,000 theater fire at Bluefield’s Lee theater damaged sound gear and film, injuring two workers but sparing most of the building. Fire officials contained the blaze to the projection room as remodeling plans begin for the theater front lobby and climate control ahead of Sunday matinees.
