Geographic Society Seeks
To Popularize Snails

With what may be an attempt
to educate the American palate
and invade the sanctity of the
dining room, the National Geo
graphic Society has issued a
short dissertation on snail3. The
society observes:
''Despite its continental pOpu.
larity with gOurmets from
Caesars day to the present,
the snail is still without honor
on the American menu. The
average American gulps down a
smooth oyster or q slippery
cla11 with 1eSt, but dismiSses
the snail from his thoughts
and his diet with the ruinOus
adjective 'Slimy.'"
Take the Frenchman, for ex-
ample, the society points out. He
regards the snail as an entree
rather than staple, and not as
the Englishman looks upon his
substantial roast beef.
"That lack Of substantially
is one of the chief charms Of
'''e snail as an appetizer"
In order to illustrate French
The Washington times., 1933-04-12

popularity for snail eating, the
society points to the fact that
Paris consumes a ton a day.
In closing, the society gives
American cooks the recipe for 0
tasty snail dish:
"After eight hours soaking
in a strong salt solution, they
are boiled for five minutes,
removed from their shells,
fried in butter and served with
q garlic sauce. After boiling,
the snail may also be minced,
stuffed back into the shell and
seasoned with q PASTE"

CHATT ERTON IS' STARRED IN NEW
 ROLE TOMORROW.
.Dignified and Lovely Star Plays Title Role of
 Frisco Jenny

Ruth Chatterton comes to the Capitol Theatre tomorrow in the First National picture, Frisco Jen- ny" in which she has a typical Diamond Lil' role.
 The polished and dignified ac- treSs turns entirely away from her recent society roles in her latest starring vehicle, and revertS to a character part similar to those in which she made some of her early and most outstanding sue cesses, such as Madam X' and Sarah and Son."
 In Frisco Jenny" she appears as the Queen of the Demi-monde, who rules her kingdom with an iron hand, woman hard and un- scrupulous, yet with an underlying tenderness and so unsurpassable a love for her only son, that she goes to the gallows with sealed lips rather than acquaint him with his mothers shame.
 Frisco Jenny" is a stirring and glamorous tale of the old Barbary Coast of San Francisco, with it's temples of pleasure, it's gilded dives and gambling dens which formed the background for the wild orgies of the young bloods of the city a quarter of a century ago.
 Miss Chatterton is supported by an exceptionally strong cast which includes Donald Cook, James Mur- ray, Louis Calhern, Hallam Cooley, Pat OMalley, Robert Warwick, Harold Huber, Helen Jerome Ed dy, Frank McGlynn, Sr., J. Carroll Naish, Noel Francis and Robert Emmet O'Connor.
 The picture, which covers the period of the great earthquake and the years following, is filled with thrills. including the quake itself and the fire that followed, a dra- matic court scene in which Miss Chatterton is branded by her own son and orgies in the gay dives.

CATLETT,s CHANCE

Walter Catlett's in it. too Cat lett had contract once, but somehow his stage reputation and hits in various films have not put him over in Hollywood as well as might have been expected. In this one he has a major role maybe the one that will turn the trick.
 Susan Fleming, after a brief contract with Paramount, had not been seen much lately From Jan- uary to June she was i'll in the hospital. In the Brendel film she has lead.
 The boy who played Janet Gay- nor's sweetheart in Daddy Long Legs" is back, too John Arledge took five months ocean voyage when he left Hollywood. and he gets his chance again with Bren- del.
 And there's Malcolm St. Clair, directing. St. Clair is well known, but he hasn't had an assignment for a year and half until "Ol- sens Night Out"
 When the picture goes out to theatres, there1l be more than just celluloid in those tin cans. There will be the work of a group of people who are, in a way, all in the same boat. Its success or failure will mean a lot to all of them.
