Radio Notes

Dick Robertson, chosen by George Gershwin as tenor soloist for Music by Gershwin" on CBS, took time out from a rehearsal the other day to tell the tragic tale of two tail-coats. One evenings outti:
 was stolen from his auto just ten years ago as Dick stopped to read a newspaper account of Red Oranges great day against the Michigan football team. The second tail-coat was lifted from his car 8 few days ago, when Dick paused to listen to the last game of the world series. And Dick adds he lost wag- CTS on Michigan and the Tigers on
 both occasions.
 Superstitious Sue: Sue Read, lit- tie personality songstress featured in the Saturday evening CBS broad casts of "Roxy's Gang" asserts that JesSica Dragonette, one of Roxy's first protegees, is responsi- ble for all her good luck. Several years ago Sue became quite an ad- mirer of the soprano and wrote to her askeing for advice on her con. templated career. Jessica took a personal interest in the little Phil adelphia girl, introduced her to Roxy, sent her to her own teacher, and guided her in her career. As a good luck charm, Sue now appears for each Roxy broadcast wearing an entire ensemble, even down to dainty slippers, belonging to Jes- sica.

Frank Black, whose "concer danss orchestra IS featured on those Sunday night Pontiac pro- grams at 10:3O D. m. over an NbC red network, expected to excite plenty of comment among his fel- low maestros with his new "brass- less'' band. However, he did not foresee the interest 1t would cause among his fans. Blacks fan mail has tripled since his Pontiac auto series was inaugrated several weeks ago, with "pros" and "cons" pouring in from listeners. To date, the consensus seems to be that it's a welcome choice for a late Sunday night spot, with a few de- crying the loss of brass.

YOUR TABLE MANNERS
Eating Oysters

In a restaurant, when oysters are served in shells with the tops on, the waiter returns with an ex- tra plate and removes the top shells which are already loosened. Condiments and crackers are then passed. Horseradish or tabasco may be added to the cocktail sauce, if desired, or to the oysters direct.
 If experience has proven the large cyst IFS difficult to manage, be sure to specify Cape Cod or one of the smaller varieties when or dering.
 Is is superfluous to say that the whole oyster should never be brok- en although now and then this sad spectacle has been ob- served in cafes where huge oysters unexpectedly appear before guest who-unable to enjoy such generous mouthfuls compromised by cutting or separating the oysters into two modest bites.
 Fold the raw oyster over and put the little fork through both sections when preparing to dip into the cocktail sauce. This makes an easily managed portion for most persons.

A fricassee and a stew are first cousins in the family of cooked meats, but because there is a cer- tain distinction of name, certain Romance of foreign flavors in the word "fricassee," it holds more lure for those who cook and those who eat.
 Obviously we would have to go back to the French chefs to get methods for preparing the original fricassees. But we have some good local recipes as well with fa- Forite meat combinations.
 Let us note first how a stew and A frecassee are alike. Both dishes are made from small pieces of meat, veal, chicken, lamb or a combination of meats. Both are cooked done in broth or gravy over very slow fire.
 The main difference lies in the amount of gravy which is allowed to remain at the end of the cook ing process. A stew should be fin- ished with lots of good, medium thin gravy, in which to cook the whole carrots or onions or the nodes. A fricassee should have only a small amount of gravy at the end of the slow cooking pro- cess, just enough to serve a spoon full to each meat serving.
 It's a nice idea to prepare and serve the fricassee in one of these attractive low oven pans of chro- nnium or copper with lids which fit tightly. A frying pan with a tight cover will do the trick also, as will g. casserole.
 The actual cooking is simplicity itself. Just choose any cut of mild favored meat like breast of veal, shoulder of lamb, or a chick en which has outlived the fryer" stage. Cut the meat in small or serving size pieces and roll it thor 0ughly in flour then give it deli cate brown in a small amount of hot butter or lard. Now we're ready to add the gravy.
 Milk or cream, slightly soured cream, or simply water seasoned well with appropriate seasonings are the usual types of gravy. If you've used lots of flour in brown ing the meat you'll not need any more, for it will cook out into the gravy and thicken it sufficiently.
 After the gravy is added, the meat should be cooked very slowly indeed with the lid firmly in place. The oven is a good place to finish the cooking if it happens to be in use for other baking. The simmer burner on the gas stove is another ideal place to let this slow cooking process bring out the good f1avors of the gravy and develop the moist tenderness of the meat itself.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-02
Veal Stew

One and one-half pounds lean veal, 4 medium sized potatoes, cup small whole mushrooms, 1-2 cup shredded sweet green pepper, 2 onions, 2 teaspoons salt, IA tea spoon white pepper, cups boiling water, flour.
 Trim fat from meat and put into a frying pan over low fire until fat is tried out. Remove crisp cracklings. Cut meat in small pieces and roll in flour.
 Brown with onion in the hot fat in the frying pan. Turn into a then pour over meat. Cover close ly and simmer for two hours. Add deep sauce pan or kettle. Pour boiling water into frying pan and pared potatoes cut in neat dice, salt, pepper and shredded sweet pepper. Saute mushrooms in but ter for five minutes and add to stew. This develops the mush- room flavor. Cook thirty minutes longer, adding water if necessary.

k Fricassee And Stew
 First Meat Cousins
Foreign Romance of the Word Fricassee Adds More Mystery to the Dish-B But It's Meat Just the Same

The seasoning of the gravy is most important. For brown fricassee with water gray it is im- portant to have some we'll blended vegetable flavors. A bay leaf, a couple of cloves, carrot or onion cut fine and Drowned with the meat add excellent flavors. For the mild favored meats, try more intangible fiavors. A very little ginger with the salt and pepper in a fricassee of veal with sour cream is worth trying, as is bit of cin- namon in the milk gravy of a chicken fricassee.
 FRICASSEED VEAL AND HAM
 # ID smoked ham
 2 lbs veal breast or shoulder
 onions
 F cup celery
 4 potatoes
 tablespoon Worcestershire

 F teaspoon salt
 Brown the floured veal and ham which has been cut into pieces. Re- move the meat and toss the veget- ables about in the Drowned fat un- til partly scared. Arrange in a casserole or a heavy pan, add sea- sonings, 1 cup water, cover closely and cook in slow oven (250 de- grees F.) for 2 hours. If the cast aluminium or iron kettle is used the process may be carried out on the direct fire by turning it as low as possible.
 Fricasseed Chicken
 Older fowl can be successfully prepared by fricasseeing or "smothering". Cut the fowl into pieces, roll in seasoned flour anG brown in butter or neutral lard. Place in casserole and add one cup of sweet cream or thin white sauce and a pinch of cinnamon. Cover and allow to make slowly at 300 degrees F., for 2 hours. The meat will be very tender and moist.
