found in every kitchen, and these are all important in turning the in- expensive cut into a delicious dish.
 Everyone is familiar with the seasoning qualities of salt and pep per and most of the other stand bys. The sugar is a recent discov- cry of culinary experts, although it has been used by continental chefs and housewives for years. It functions, not as sweetener, but to "blend" and point up the other flavors.
 Here is one meat dish made from inexpensive cuts, that provides a tasty offerig calculated to please the entire family:
 MEAT MOUND
 pound round steak, ground
 1-2 pound pork, ground
 S-4 can tomatoes
 2 teaspoons sugar
 1-2 teaspoon salt
 Pinch sage
 Small onion, minced
 Mix onions, supar, sage, toma- toes, salt and meat until well blended. Shape in a mound and place in roasted. Cover top with four or five strips of bacon. Place in an over about 375 degrees F., for one hour. Remove top of roast CT the last l 5 minutes and increase heat.

ChiIdren's Play Is
Here on Saturday

The third play of the Chill
dren's Theater series at the Ma.
tional Theater Saturday morning.
January IA, will be one at once
familiar and strange to Washing
ton children. The title chosen is
Sleeping Beauty" the famous
old fairy tale by Charles Perrault,
but it will be presented not in
the conventional, but in Russian
style. In general the plot fol
lows the familiar lines so that
children will recognize beneath
the exotic costumes and colorful
settings the beloved fairy tale
with which they are familiar.
The names, of course, will be
Russian, and one or two inno-
vations will add freshness to the
story.
Helen Shea, who made her
first big success in the famous
broadway" will have the lead
ing role of the Tsarevna Marya,
(the Sleeping Beauty, while
Tsarevitch Berenday (the prince)
also seen as Miska, the bear, will
be Joseph Curtin, who last sea-
son toured with Maude Adams as
Launcelot Gobbo in the "Mer-
chant of Venice"

Lost, One Fortune

Accordingly, Zelli gave up and
returned to France. His visit to
America had cost him an ab-
solute fortune. If he had stuck
to his cafe, it might not have
been so bad. But he wanted to
be a producer.
When I ran into Joe at the
track yesterday, it was the first
time I had seen him since the
night that Flo, Ray and I sat
with him in THE Royal Box"
I looked at him-and I
smiled.
We'll, Joe," I stated, cts a
genuine pleasure to see you
again. DO you remember the
last time we had a little talk?"
you bet I do" replied Zelli.
you were with poor Mr.. Zieg-
field and another gentleman
who's name escapes me. We had
many laughs"
I nodded.
"Yes. we did," I returned,
"but there's something else I'd
like to bring back to your mem
ory. Do you remember me tell
ing you that you didn't have a
chance on Broadway with Pa
pavert,' and that you'd be bet
ter off saving your dough?"
He nodded. He said nothing,
but he looked a trifle sad. I
slapped him on the back.
"Cheer up, joe" cried, "It's
all over now. After all, it's a
lesson that was worth while.
You'll never do another Show"
His voice grew indignant.
who says I won't?" he as
serted. 'I've got a show now
that will be a knockout on
Broadway. I'll do it here first,
and then I'll bring it to Amer
lea. Let me tell you about the
first act"
It's no use. Like the guy who
gets married again, they never
learn.

let contract at a studio.
This honor. so eagerly sought
by pretty young things trying to
crash the movies, is but a snare
and a deluSion. Fred Schuessler
says so and, as casting director
of R-K-O, Fred should know.
The veteran executive hands
out these cold facts:
"Of the "a girls R-K-O has
placed under junior star con.
tracts in the last 18 months, only
two-Julie Hayden and Dorothy
Wilson-have outlived options
and developed into featured
players.
"The immediate recognition,
the steady income stultifies am
bition, breeds over-confidence.
IF I had daughter who
wanted to become a film actress,
she should get at least one years
experience on the stage and an
other year in general extra work.
Even then, I should hesitate to
let her sign a starlet contract"
Young players at R-K-O, whose
fate still hangs in the balance,
are Sandra Shaw, Betty Furness
and the newly-signed and very at
tractive Gretchen Wilson.

Roxy's Apartment

This is culled from the latest

"In the offices of the Radio
City Music Hall are included
the living quarters of its direc-
tor. Roxy was the first Occu-
pant, but with his illness Har-
old B. Franklin succeeded to
the luxurious quarters and
seems to like it equally as well.
"The offices and living quar-

$25O,OOO, altogether in furnish
ingS and equipment and away

amount chargeable to R-K-O as
part of the opening cost. The

Georgetown Jack

Now that it appears to be set
tied that Grand Hotel" was the
prize celluloid of 1882 the only
debatable question about that all
star picture was who gave the
best performance? I vote for
John Barrymore because think
he is the best actor in the
movies today.
Also because I have just dis.
covered that Hamlet Jack was
once a student at Georgetown,
Maybe it's not news out at Hill
top but I just confronted it in
browsing through Harry Brun-
didge's interviews with Hollywood
celebrities as Actor Barrymore
tells it:
"T as in trouble constantly
and after being kicked out Of
NOtre Dame School in Phila-
delphia, was sent to school to
the Jesuits in Georgetown.
I've never told this story, but
on the day of my arrival there
a priest took me through the
school buildings. I paused in
the gymnasium to swing on the
parallel bars and as / turned
over there fell from my pockets,
a razor, a dime novel and a
half a pint of whiskey.. The
miShap gave the priest more
information than 1 could have
supplied in eighty confessions.
They were very kind to me at
Georgetown, and although they
eventually expelled me, they did
it in a nice way.

One of the technical advisers
on "Our Betters" is Madame
Grenier, who used to be chief of
wardrobe and gem stores of Her
Majesty, Queen Mary. Yes, some
one asked her about those hats.
She says the Queen wears them
because the King particularly ad-
mires her luxurious hair.
To the rumor that she will
marry David Burton, Billie Burke
replies that she will never marry
again. Her life, she says, will be
devoted to her stage and screen
career and to her daughter. And,
incidentally, did you know that
the real name of this actress is
Ethel. Her father, a clown in
Barnum and Bailey's Circus, was
named Billy Burke.
New York's reaction to "Caval-
cade" found quick echo in
Hollywood. Before noon on the
day after the Eastern premiere,
Winfield Sheehan received 1900
congratulatory kilograms.

George admits to me he is quite
anxious about his role in THE

judgment, however, until he sees

quired. Surely you're too smart
to put your dough into a Broad
way show. You know you haven't
got chance in the world, don't
you?"
Zelli was slightly indignant.
They're far from publicity
stories, Mark" he returned.
I'm rehearsing 'Papavert' right
now, and I'm going to open at
the Vanderbilt within three
weeks. And, just to show you
how good it looks. I can tell you
that 1 have already been offered
$4,000 for the motion picture
rights!"
Flo and Ray talked as if they
were one man.
Take It'll" they both cried.
"Take i'll"
"Not me-" Joe returned. "If
this play becomes the success I
think it will be, I'll do the pic
ture myself. I'm holding the pic
ture rights-and I'm taking the
risk"
Joe took the risk all right.
"Papavert" opened on Broadway
and had the unusual run of eX-
actly one night. He was stretch
ing things a trifle, of course,
when he stated that he had been
offered $4,000 for the picture
rights. But after that one night
even a $500 offer would have
been suddenly withdrawn.
Still Joe refused to give up.
He did the highly unusual thing
of closing the crow, having it
rewritten. recasting it in several
spots-and then opening it again
so that the critics might have
another look.
This time the run improved
100 per cent. "Papavert" re-
manned open for two nights.
Shortly after, in one of the
most malicious raids ever staged
in the disgraceful history of the
prohibition department, Joe

into and virtually destroyed by

my knowledge, been reopened to

Right at Home
You know that Zelli is con-
ming you plenty in many in
stances, but you like it more
than you resent it. No matter
who you are, you can walk into
his cafe for the first time and
be assured Of the greeting OF
your life. AS soon as he learns
your name, his spiel seldom
varies.
Don't tell me that you're
Joe Doakes, from Brooklyn!
Well, we'll, we'll! You're writer,
aren't you? Oh, you're in the
pants business.
Come to think of it, that's
right. Tch, tch, tch. 1t was
only this morning that 1 read
your name in the society col
umns of the New York Herald
and here I've forgotten it al
ready!
"Garcon! Here, garcon! Put
Mr.. Doakes and his party in the
royal box. The best is none too
good for him.
whats that? You don't like
your table? Why, that's the
royal box, sir! The Prince of
Wales, Douglas Fairbanks, Nick
Blair and Reuben Sadowsky
sat at that very table. I am
honoring you, sir. Oh, that's
all right. Don't thank me. Just
enjoy yourself-that's the only
thanks that Joe zelli asks. Ex-
cuse me, sir"
That is the Joe Zelli of yes
terday, and the Joe zelli of to-
day. For years he was enor-
mously successful in his game;
so successful, in fact, that he
once had the reputation of be-
ing among the wealthiest men
in Paris. Of late, of course, his
fortune has been fading to what
he must consider an alarming
degree.
About a year ago, Zelli made
an unfortunate decision. He
decided that, if there was any
real money to be made in this
world, it must be gained in
America. He signed a contract
to open a night club in New
York and he made extensive
preparations to leave Paris for
the time being.
Bitten by the Bug
That might not have been so
bad if, just about that time,
Joe hadn't been badly bitten
by the theatrical bug He had
dabbled in show busir ess in
Paris on several occasions and,
to my knowledge, had never
succeeded in making any money.
He had in his possession a
script called "Papavert," in
which he had the utmost conf
dence. Without confiding in
too many people, he made up
his mind to produce the show
in America. And he sailed
away from France with the
avowed intention of becoming
not only a Broadway night club
owner, but a Broadway p1 oducer
as we'll.
There's an ambition for you!
Arriving on Broadway, Joe
went ahead with his plans. He
opened "The Royal Box" one
of the most beautiful speak
easies that New York ever saw
and that's saying plenty. In
the beginning he did remark
ably well. Society and the
stage gave Zelli a great play,
and Joe must have been gazing
at life through honeymoon
eyes.
Then came the announce
ments of "Papavert" in the
I daily papers. Joe Zelli, the IA
mouse cafe owner, had turned
producer. He was going to open
his own show at the Vanderbilt
Theater.
For some reason or other, I
didn't get around to Zelli's until
"The Royal Box" had been open
for a month or so. With me
when I finally arrived there
were the late Flo Ziegfeld and
Ray Henderson, to my mind
the outstanding composer of
them all.
After the usual greetings had
been exchanged, kidded Joe
about his theatrical venture.
Cali those stories are just pub
