Tooth Anniversary oi
POmmes SOuffIees to

Paris-(UP)-PommeS souffles, the

This accident occurred in Saint
German en- Laye Janus historical
town near Paris, 80 years ago and
comedies with the first train to run
between this town and the capital.
Next year the Tooth anniversary
will be observed there.
Historic documents relate that q
banquet was to be held in the
Pavilion Henri w, in Saint Ger
main, the house where Louis XIV
was born, for the blue bloods who
were passengers on the first train.
Louis Philippe, who was ruler Of
France at the time, was not author
lied by parliament to ride in the
train for fear of accidents, so he
went by coach and arrived at the
station to welcome the arrival.
Collinet, the famous chef, who
was to prepare the banquet, knew
that the king was proud Of fried
potatoes, so he endeavered to pre-
pare some to the best Of his abil-
ity. When the train failed toarrive
on scheduled time, however, he
took the potatoes off the fire for
fear Of drying them. When the
guests were finally announced, Col
linet put the potatoes back into the
butter upon the fire. Suddenly the
upper crust dilated, expanded and
turned golden. Collinet was heart
broken and he thought that the
monarch would never padon him
for spelling his favofite dish. I'm
knowingly, Collinet had discovered
the famous pommes soufflees, now
served the world over-but it re-
quired the palates Of the princely
diners to make him aware of his

Hollywood. it Is nigh, onto
the holidays, and your correspon-
dent hasn't made out his Christmas
list. Santa Claus, accompanied by
guest stars, is riding along Holly
wood boulevard every night.
Holly berries are red on the
mountain heights, and poinsettias
are ahame in the sheltered valleys.
Electric candles twinkle Hospitality
from the windows of impregnable
mansions.
Platoons of secretaries are STORM
ing the shoppes and department
stores for presents to be given by
their bosses. Electricians borrowed
from the studios are festooning
lawns with lights.
Executives are debating stern but
utterly Intellectual orders to their
stats that production must not
cease before p. m. on Christmas
Eve.
And here sit, wondering what
on earth to give the stars, who al
ready have everything their little
hearts desire. Let's see, then. what
some of them deserve, or need:
There's Robert Taylor. A new
racing car? A swimming pool? A
portfolio of selections for the cello?
No, he can easily get all those. Best
bunch is Barbara Stanwyck,
wrapped as gift.
For Greta Carlo, nice comedy.
She always has wanted to play in a
hilarious picture SO she could forget
her anemia. Dick PowelI?--a set Of
three new gestures. And to John
Barrymore, pair of slippers, a
pipe, and handsome set of Shakes
peare.
A Cupid Santa?
Quite lot of the stars should get
books. For Marlene Dietrich maybe
1 can arrange a copy of 'Trilby,"
suitably inscribed by Svengali Won
Sternberg.
And for Mae West, copy Of
What Every Young Girl Should
Know" suspect that other people
have thought of this and have given
the book to Miss West, but one new
err can have too many books, can
one?
For Katharine Hepburn, a book
by Emily Post. And for Freddie
Bartholomew a subscription to The
American Boy.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers?
Will, how about choice Sprig Ut
mistletoe, to be suspended over the
sets of their next picture? And to
Jean Harl0w-William Powell. cor
is Santa Claus poaching too much
on the happy hunting grounds OF
Senior Cupid? Okay, skip it,
: Among their Souvenirs
To Myrna 10y, who is good
actress for any customers IS cents,
I'd like to be able to give all the
negatives of the still and motion
pictures taken OF her when she was
a writhing oriental siren. And some
of the rowdy Charleston sequences
ought to 60 back to Joan Crawford.
James Cagney needs good script.
To Clark Gable should like to
hand, with best wishes, the role of
Rhett Butler in "Gone With the
Wind"
Inarticulate, fidgety Gary Cooper
needs an official spokesman.
Shirley Temple needs haircut.
To Paul Mani, handful Of soy

For George Raft, fresh gallon
