Vale Review

Hollywood is simply a flat, un- lovely plain, inhabited by a group of highly ordinary people, all of them quite at sea and usually in a mild state of panic in their chosen work, turning out a prod uct which, except for certain me- chanical excellencies, is as unim- portant and undistinguished as the mass product of any plant grinding out rubber novelties or automobile accessories. Once you have watch ed a picture being made Gan ex- perience which becomes incredibly tiresome after the first half day), there is absolutely nothing of inter- est in Hollywood, not even the peo- pie. The people. in fact, are most ly tn esame people you have been seeing in New York all your life. slightly less attractive because of the depressing pail which descends on even the bravest soul when sub- jected to the unreality of those papier mache mountains and the unspoken subservience to the Medi- ocre which one feels rather than admits when one Is financially se- cure on the payroll of a great movie concern.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY |
TWO SPLENDID FEATURE HITS ON DOUBLE PROGAM NOW AT MARINERS STRAND.

Two great talking pictures. "Three Who Loved" and Sweep stakes" are to be found on the program at Warner Brothers Strand theater to-day and to-mor- row.
 Betty Compson is starred in Three Who Loved" which Holly wood previewers called an amazing story of real-life situations and emotions. It isi welding of ordin- ary human foibles, passions, mis- takes, selfishness, misunderstand- ing, vanity and egotism into pow erful drama.
 Conrad Nagel and Robert Ames play opposite the star. The cast includes Robert Emmett O'Connor, Bodil Rosing and little Dickie Moore.
 The story, by Martin Flavin, fa- nous playright, is about cred ulous little Swedish immigrant girl who comes to America at the in- stance of her fiance. She finds him plodder, too ambitious to play, and falls for the other man and the giddy whirl of pleasure he promises.
 Her fiance awakens to the dan- ger she is in, but too late. He steals from his bank to give her the luxury she craves, and when cornered, shifts the blame to the other man. Tense drama devel- ops when the girl discovers her husband is the man who framed her lover. It develops into a pow erful climax, mercilessly ruthless in truth.
 The companion feature Sweep stakes" is, as the title suggests, a tale of the race track. Dynamos of energy packed into horse flesh. A picture that is full of thrills from opening to closing scene. Of course there is romance and the cast is a splendid one with Eddie Quilian in the featured role. Other favorites include Marion Nixon, Lew Cody, and James Gleason.

sobs, she may eat me up and stop my
crying that way. But I've lost" and
then she burst out crying again.
Dear me, no." said the squirrel,
who had suggested the giant. HE is
the kindest giant you can imagine"
All the other squirrels who had
come around, too, to see what was
the trouble, said:
"Bushy Squirrel is perfectly right.

very kind"

Graduates Choose Sheer Frocks


organizes which to see is to covet.
For the graduating frock we can think
of nothing prettier than white, or If
preferred, flesh-colored allover en-
broidered organdie. OF course it must
have full hemline with fitted hip
line, however, for that is the trick"
in dressmaking this season, to accent
slender silhouette with a sprightly
flare commencing above the knees.
The normal waistline of this youthful
gown will be defined with girlish
sash. The sleeves will be either little
puffs or perhaps a ruffle or two or
suggested by bertha or capelet.
Later this charming dress will go
dancing in the moonlight or, topped
with wide-brimmed summary hat, it
will appear at garden parties.
1t is rather difficult for the girl Sc
lecting material for her graduating
frock to choose between embroidered
and plain organdie which is lace
trimmed, the latter to be worn over
taffeta slip. Clever things are being
done with lace and organdie, one of
which is posing the crisp transparent
weave over a lace foundation slip.
The graduating frock being white
would be mounted over white lace, but
for the party dress the organdie is
apt to be any lovely tint and the lace
underneath should be perfect match.
The attractive organdie gown pic
tured has a simplicity about it which
tunes in charmingly to the graduating
scene. This dainty dress features
bands Of lace artfully inset so as to
form front panel in the skirt, the
double cape repeating this trimming.

Chicken Chop suey Is Quite Delicious.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
Perhaps you have always thought OF
chop suey as a dish that Is too I'M
usual and foreign to prepare at home.
AS matter Of fact, chop suey is I'M
known in China; 1t originated in
Chinatown in San Francisco, in an
attempt to give visitors something out
of the ordinary. 1t is made with such
Chinese Ingredients as water nuts,
bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, soy
sauce and often dried mushrooms, as
well as chicken or pork, but q very
good dish closely resembling the orig
inal chop suey in flavor may be made
with vegetables that are common in
most American localities. Soy sauce
is sold in a great many groceries, and
the chop suey will be almost perfect in
flavor If you can get it. If not, wor-
cestershire sauce will do. Soy sauce
contains good deal Of salt, 80 the
amount Of salt needed In your chop
suey will depend on which kind of
sauce you have.
Why not invite your friends or fam
fly to try Chinese supper some eve
ming? II you have any Chinese Access
sories or decorations, so much the bet
ter At least, you can make chicken
chop suey and rice the main attrac-
ton, with preserved ginger for des-
eert. The Chinese do not use bread
and butter, because they have the
rice, but you may serve it If your fam
lily prefers. The vegetables on which
we depend for vitamins are incor-
porated in the chop suey-onions and
celery. The recipe below is from the
bureau of home economics of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.

Hints for Housekeepers

Dried fruits are some of the best
confections for the children because
the sweet is less concentrated.
Prevent rusting in the oven by leav-
ing the oven door ajar for an hour
after baking to allow any moisture to
vaporize.
Pastry improves by chilling, 80 aft
er the dough is mixed, wrap it in
waxed paper and keep it in the refrig

set to work and gathered many wild
strawberries so that Mahalia's basket
was filled when she left them.
She loved wild strawberries almost
better than any fruit and she was
very happy about having such a lot
of them.
The giant was happy because he
had proved to one more little girl that
a giant could be dear, friendly soul,

Doughnuts and Refreshments Popular
