'Gas-Jet Cooks" Need Protection, She Says

Why, I never dreamed that so many girls were cooking their own meals on gas jets, electrical equip rnent and so on until we went on hunt for a good place to take a 'set,'' she said. +tI believe now that most of the working girls in New York who are not living in their own homes are doing this. And the worst of it without kitchens or kitchennettes where this sort of thing is going on, the landlords forbid the practice on pain of expeiling their tenantsI l could not afford to buy all their meals out and that their salaries were not large enough to permit the renting of kitchennette apartments.
 How They Hide 'E>m!
 "But it was also funny to learn how many of these girls managed to keep their cooking activities hidden from their landlords. Some used various preparations which drive away all odors of cooking, and prac- tically all have very good hiding places. They put their gas plates or electric gril1s and dishes behind clocks, in bureau drawers under mat tresses ,and many other strange places.
 'tI think laws should be passed protecting girls and others who are compelled to do their own cooking in these places where cooking is forbid den.''
 In an effort to combat the high cost of boarding. Constance Ta1madge. playing the part of an orphaned daughter of struggling novelist in Good References" attempts to pre- pare a meal over one of these trick" cookers, by no means a novel prac- tice. but productive of very novel re- suits.
 IandIady On the Job.
 Shifting cookery in the house, and rightly suspecting the feminine boarder, the 1and1ady makes a flying raid on Mary Wayne's room, but Mary hears her coming and under the bed goes the little cooker. In about three shakes the bed is in flames, and Mary is rude1y separated from one weeks board-paid in ad- vance-and her room.
 '@This little situation said Miss Ta1madge, twas very funny, but there are many others very much like it be- ing enacted in real life every day. It isn't very funny, however, for the poor girl who has to actually live it."

A new process of color photography has been used at the William Fox studio in New York City, on a tableau represented the various material factors that go to make up a Lady of Fashion There was a Scotch shepherd lad, a pearl diver, a Belgian lacemaker, a fur trapper, an old Southern nanny, gold miner, a Japanese silk girl, a boy bird hunter, an Irish spinning girl, a dyer, and Miss White as the Lady of Fashion. Types of different nations were ob- tained to represent the various char acters. They were all gowned in brilliant costumes, and this part of the picture will appear in colors when it is released.

While laws have been passed linn iting in a measure the practice of rent gouging and profteering, something should be done to bring relief to poor working girls, teachers and others who in order to beat the high cost of living are compelled to do their cook ing in their own rooms at the risk of being dispossessed, according to Con stance Talmadge.
 The screen comedienne reached this conclusion after making some in teresting discoveries while in search for a one-room apartment in a cheap boarding house to take a scene for Good References" ""her latest picture, which will be shown in Bridgeport soon.

Let's Hope So!

A rustic of paper, A smack, a chew, The watchword of little Billy McRew At the movies he's chewing and smacking his lips In way that reminds of fast sinking

No Rest in the Moviest One night upon a little pleasure bent, Into a movie show I went, took a seat near the front row, To while away an hour or so, But believe me, got no rest, For close by was a chewing pest, You'd think that he was eating lunch With his peanuts, he would smack
 and crunch To bar him out, we should insist, Oh whyi Oh whyi does he exist. BOB KELLY,
