Description
This acrylic painting portrays Heaton White Vorse (1901 -1990),
who was a lifelong resident of Provincetown.
Heaton loved playing his ukulele, which he called his "uke", and would play it,
usually on Friday evenings, at his house (known as the "hive"), at 466 Commercial Street.
Sometimes, on a warm summer eve, he would play his uke to the many colorful residents of the hive, and usually, his favorite dog, "Johnnie Low-Down", was not far by his side.
Heaton appeared in the 1981 Warren Beatty feature "Reds", as himself,
and was given a guitar from Warren Beatty for his help in that film.
Heaton also appeared as himself, in Jonathan Morrill's experimental 1984 film
"Mumbo-Jumbo", along with "Johnnie Low-Down".
