The Movies r

Copyright by tiai c. Herman

ITO BE technically correct, a series
L of conditions and events brought
about my advent into the movies. First,
and probably most important was the
fact that was born-well, almost-in
the theater. My parents were well
known theatrical folks and were ap-
pearing in Copenhagen, Denmark. So
from such an suspicious beginning I
was reared in the atmosphere OF
painted canvas, grease-paint and foot
lights.
My early youth was very similar to
most other young folks and after
high school and college training set
out to be an artist A number Of my
paintings won prizes and bright ca
reer doomed before me-but theatrical
blood coursed through my veins In no
uncertain manner-so tried the stage.
May say with all due modesty that
l soon became widely known for my
portrayals of characters from the
plays of Ibsen, Strlndberg, Bjornsen
and Tolstoy?
The theatrical career, as anyone may
know, is replete with travel and thus
| soon toured all Of Scandinavia. Here
a motion picture company came into
my life, and for four years I worked

then milk is added. They are pre-
pared just as my favorite recipe for
frizzled beef. Persons who cannot
eat fried onions can often eat them
done in this way.

mention nearly all the ways you like
onions-if you like them at all You
do know orange-onion salad, don't you?
Here Is a recipe, in any case.
Orange and Onion Salad.
3 oranges
2 Spanish or Bermuda onions
French dressing
Slice the. oranges after peeling and
arrange with slices Of onion on bed
Of lettuce or endive. Dress with french
dressing and let stand at least one

often find that their treason remains
undiscovered. 1t is fact that some
persons cannot eat comfortably the
onion itself but have no digestive diff
ficulties with the juice itself, and taste
is sometimes guided by this fact.
At the moment, with young onions In
the market, their devotees are demand
ing them for service with radishes and
celery in their raw state. wonder IT
you know how good these are cooked,
tops and all, and served with cream
sauce?
Ordinary onions-yellow. white or
red-can be cooked in dozens of diff
ferent ways. Small even-sized onions
may be boiled, drained and "glazed"
in butter and sugar. They may be
served with brown butter crumbs or
with just brown butter.
One of the best ways-and one Of
the easiest-of baking small onions is
to put them, with liberal amount
of butter but no water, in covered
baking dish and to bake them slowly
until tender and slightly brown on the
ton. Stuffed onions are delicious.
They are made from large boiled
onions. The centers are removed,
minced and mixed with soft crumbs,
well seasoned, possibly with bit OF
ham or chicken as well as other sea-
soning. They are then put in bak-
ing pan and surrounded by meat stock,
which, by the way, can be quickly
made with bouillon cube, and baked
until brown.
A reader asks for recipe for french
fried onions, which are SO deliciously
sweet If they are not over fried. They
are especially well done at few res
taurants of the chop-house type. Most
places prefer to stick to plain, fried
onions, often known as "smothered'
from the fact that they are so often
used to smother steak or liver. by
the way, do you ever use creamed
fried onions? After the onions are
fried they are sprinkled with flour.
This is well blended with the fat and

which skirted one side Of the es.

protracted wandering and she
stumbled along, intentionally, a
little YEARLY, warm in her Winter
coat, wishing savagely that she had
been able to afford the smart
spring suit she had seen in a Fifth
Avenue window. Well, perhaps she
could soon! But she had been
afraid to spend what little was
left over from her salary after the
hotel bills and other necessities had
been paid. She had to be careful
unless, through this lucky chance,
she found she no longer need be.
She began to think Of little
trotteur lapin coats, Of tweeds
and silks, Of evening gowns. Of q
sable scarf like Mary LOUIS, of
quantities Of the very elaborate
underwear and very heavy per-
furne which she found desirable.
A high fence, or wall, ran
around the Lorrimer place. It
seemed to Delight that she walked
miles on the other side. She was,
she reflected somberly, pretty near

She saw trees and q path, and
beyond that a perfect tangle of

her somehow of England, which
she called and thought Of as
