acts when she's applying for a job,
or after she has it. In all the months
worked there I don't think there
was single minute I was honestly
myself; girls in business can't afford
to take of the impersonal character
they assume when they go to work.
That's why I say I'm quite sure If
business girls ever realized they were
actresses and took up acting as a pro-
fession, the screen and stage would
be simply swamped with fine new tai

Small Town Girl" the first picture
Miss Gaynor has made under the
M-G-M banner, is the story of a
country girl who is precipitated into
city society with her irnpetuous elope-
ment with wealthy young doctor.
With Hunt Stromberg as the pro-
ducer of the picture and William
Wellman directing from a screen play
by Edith Fitzgerald and John Lee
Mahin, the picture boasts a notable
supporting cast headed by Lewis
Stone, Binnie Barnes, Isabel Jewell,
James Stewart, Frank Craven and
Nella Walker and including more than
a score of other favorites.
Miss. Gaynor's perturbation of the
story readers of The Star so much
enjoyed will soon appear at the Pal
ace Theater.
THE first public test of the popularity
of double bills has just been COM
pleted in Detroit, where some $4,000
theatergoers cast their ballots in favor
of two feature pictures. 1t was a
3-to-1 victory for the duals, against
the opinions of exhibitors, producers
and distributors.
The balloting was conducted by the
Cohen circuit and Harold Heffernan,
drama editor of the Detroit News as a
result of a suggestion made to the
latter by Edward Small, vice president
Of Reliance Pictures and associate
producer for R-K-O.
The final vote was 36,095 in favor
of double bills. 1903 against them,
and as a result of this sentiment,
Detroit theaters will continue their
two-feature policy, according to an
nouncements by the Cohen brothers
Remarks by the voters appended
to the ballots indicated that for the
first time the movie public wants to
see almost every picture produced and
the fans can catch up" on their films
by seeing two in an evening. Several
score suggested triple bills.
While I was greatly surprised at
the result, I am glad the public Is
being given an opportunity to decide
on its entertainment policy" said
Small. Most of Hollywood's pro-
ducers have announced that Mr.. and
Mrs. Theatergoer do not want double
bills. But Mr.. and Mrs. Theatergoer
were not consulted.
Somehow, however, we doubt If Mr..
and Mrs. Washington Theatergoer
would crow with enthusiasm over
double features. If they spent another
couple of hours at the Fox, they'd
have to bring their breakfast, lunch
and supper.

ALL: modern business girls are
actresses, and if they turned those
natural talents to professional theatri-
cal lines the stage and screen wouldn' t
be able to absorb even fraction of
the promising new players.
That unique view was voiced by
Janet Gaynor. starring in Small Town
Girl" a perturbation of the popular
novel by Ben Ames williams, which
recently appeared serially in The Star
Every business girl is an actress -
Janet said. "She must be, to hold her
job. This doesn't infer that there's
any hypocrisy or sham involved: it's
merely fundamentally true that any
girl in the business world, and espe-
cially salesgirls, find it necessary to
act all the time.
"Salesmanship, after all, is largely
acting. The salesgirl probably doesn't
care fig about the article she's SELL
ing, but she has to simulate an enthu-
siasm about it that is exactly as as
sumed as the lines professional
actress speaks on the stage or screen.
II wonder"-with a shy twinKle-
whether it isn't true that women are
becoming so important in business
because they are better natural
actors than men!''
Miss Gaynor recalled her own first
experience in applying for a job. It
was in shoe store in San Francisco
II think that was the best piece of
acting I ever did," she laughed.
Actually, was scared to death. But
I knew I'd never get the job that way.

Christmas Plum Pudding

Playing almost as important part
in the traditional celebration of
Christmas as the yule log, the holly
wreath, the mistletoe and st. Nicholas
himself is the famous plum pudding,
which has come to us with the passing
of the centuries.
The original plum pudding or plum
pottage as it was first termed, was
served as an accompaniment to the
first course of the Christmas dinner
back in the days of the Normans. The
method of preparation was to boil
beef or mutton in it's own broth which
was thickened with brown bread. Half
boiled raisins, currants, prunes, cloves,
mace and ginger were then added.
The mixture when done, was sent to
the table with the best meats.
Plum buildings are best when SER
we'd very hot. They should be steam
ed for one hour before serving. A
flaming plum pudding which will add
interest to your Christmas dinner may
be had by pouring brandy over the
pudding and lighting it just before
it is brought to the table. Domestic
Port or Sherry Wine are excellent
to serve with the plum pudding.
Many housewives make their plum
