NOUFFLES of all sorts are ex-

a plain souffle served with q

the problem of a luncheon dish

A souffle used in this way takes
the place OF a noodle ring or mac
aroni mould. Its composition
makes it good source OF protein
and particularly satisfactory as an
accompaniment for vegetables.

one must follow the rules. Do'not
attempt to remove the souffle
from the baking dish in which it
was baked for serving. A souffle
is of very delicate structure and
must be served from the baking
dish. Another precaution to keep
in mind is the necessity of serv-
ing II as soon as 1t is done.

KANSAS FARMERS STUDY
PICKLES

BUTLER, Kan. UP)-Farmers of
this community envision the de-
velopment of a new industry to add
to their bank accounts and activity.
j. Benscheid, big pickle man from
Hutchinson, is urging them to raise
more cucumbers. He has had to
import some half a dozen carloads
from Colorado annually, he said,
and sees no reason why the poten-
tial pickles should not be raised in
Kansas. The idea is spreading, and
most farmers have their pickle

Blind Mans Buff

Even in this age of enlightenment some folks
spend their money blindy. They buy with their
eyes shut. They grope in the dark as truly as if
their eyes were bandaged.
And all the time powerful light is being thrown
on the very things they need and want!
Advertising is beacon to guide you in buying
It shows you what to buy-where to buy-and
when to buy. At the same time, it protects you
against fraud and inferOrity
Merchants and manufacturers who advertise de-
Iiberately focus thousands of eyes upon their
wares. Their values must be honest and their
prices right or they could not advertise success
fully.
Don't play blind mans buff with the elusive dol
lar Spend few minutes each day running

Twain's Tale Of

If you have never read Mark

Boy, we'll, we envy you. We wish
we had never read it, and would
like to find its dog-eared pages
fresh and brittle again. Also, If
you haven't read it, be sure and
see "Huckleberry Finn" which
opened at the Fox last night.
But If you have, you'll enjoy

Junior Durkin, in the title role
does good piece Of work. Jackie
Coogan, as Tom Sawyer, does an
other, but he does too much work
which is the films greatest fault
After all, Tom Sawyer was only
a foil or sounding board to show
how boys developed in the back

Coogan couldn't take anything

Bathtub Sound S
Problem For
Hollywood

How loud should be the sound
of running bath water?
What is the best method OF
photographing players crawling
,,p a flight of stairs on hands and
knees?
There are specific and different
technical problems of photography
and sound recording in every
talking picture. The ones here
mentioned are among those which
particularly plagued Nicholas
Crinde, director of Joan CraW'
ford's newest picture, This
Modern Age" now current at
Loew's Columbia Theater.
Required Ingenuity
Very human, so it's said, is an
attempt of modern mother in
the picture. Marjorie Rambeau,
to hold a phone conversation
with a boy friend. while her
daughter, Joan, is splashing in a
bathtub in an adjacent room,
Hundreds and hundreds of wives
and husbands, mothers and
daughters have had similar ex'

moaned the M.-G.M. sound en-
gineers. 1t took careful adjust
ment, indeed, to determine a flow
of bathtub water which would
sufficiently dim the Rambeau
dialogue without destroying its
sense. 1t is said the stunt" in
the film is accomplished with ex'
treme effectiveness, but not with
out expenditure of many hours
, of thought and invention by the
sound department. An entirely
new sound-recording light valve
had to be invented to get the

emotions lacked the degree of
conviction which is the compile
ment Of sympathetic character
development. You are asked to
suffer with and condone a scar

structure of appeal is created.
The boy is similarly under

noble to gulp as real. e
Cast Is Excellent
Mae Clark, who flashed bril-

lends her emotional talents to an
exacting role with it's highIight a
scene of hySterical heroics. Kent
Douglass, recalled for fine work

fine old veteran, Frederick Kerr,
is immense in a character bit,
although treated meagerly by the
authors lines. Enid Bennett and
Doris Lloyd have the other major
roles.

Amused by Fleas

Thus, of recent day, I wan

second time in five year. I was
just a trifle bored until I struck
a corner of the room. There sat
a mild-mannered, bespectacled
gentleman at a little table and
very proudly displayed to his

of trained fleas.
The trained fleas, be it said,
fascinated me. And I fingered
long while the exhibitor stated
emphatically time and time
again that "his fleas were the

You can roll the balls for 10
cents and be sure of winning a
prize that can be bought any,
where for a penny. You can
put a nickel in the picture slot
and see "a Summers Night in
a Girls Boarding School" or
The Models Downfall" And
you can see the people flocking
in and standing about open
mouthed-even as they do in
Beeville, Tex, or Havadrink,
Mont.
The business this spot does
is little short of astounding. If.
my memory is still function1ng
to any extent, the museum has
been in actual operation for
some six or seven years. The
barkers have the same spiel and
the midgets fail to get any
smaller. The doorman still mods
sleepily as you drop your ticket
in the box and the wild man
from Borneo" still runs an eleva-
tor in an office building when
ever they fire him for a short
time.
It's amusing then to note
that, while legitimate theatrical
enterprises are Hopping one
after the other, this place still
>goes along like Tennyson's
brook. The talkies do not inter
fere with it. Neither do the Fol
lies. The weather can't harm 1t.
Neither can the depression. The
old freak shows will draw them
in, I guess, until the last man
is out.
