Connecticut. Besides Morton and the lovely
Barbara, there are four children - Michael.
Shawn, Lorelle and Tony. The house, now
Dutch Colonial in style, was originally New
England barn. And the guest house, with
it's guest book filled with the worlds most
famous names, was made out of the old farm
pumphouse.
Last summer Morton toured in the land of
his ancestors, visiting old Irish inns and
hobnobbing with chefs in the sacred precincts
of their kitchens, to coax from them recipes
for the dishes he especially enjoyed. There
was Dublin Beef, for instance, which he found
in the Dolphin, fine old Dublin restaurant.
"You get an end of beef" Morton explains,

and roast it. When it is about done, pre-
pare some French-fried potatoes about one
fifth the size of those we have in the United
States. Then dice the beef and put it and
the potatoes in skillet with little fat.
Add some beef gravy made from the drippings
and while the whole combination is cooking,
mince little garlic very finely into it."
1t was in Ireland also that he tasted the
canapes that are now his favorites. They
are very simply prepared" he says. "You
take round pieces of French bread, toast
them, rub them lightly with garlic, and then
pour melted butter over them. Try them the
next time you are looking for canapes that
will appeal especially to men,"

America gave MIR. Downey unique
and excellent recipe for baked ham.
1T comes from an old Negro nanny
we had out in California" he says:
She soaked the ham all night if it
was very salty and the next day
boiled it for an hour with celery,
oranges cut in half, little onion and
few carrots cut lengthwise. Then
she removed the ham, skinned out
the floating fat and added to the
liquid cider, additional oranges and
little sliced lemon. This was boiled
down one-half. Finally she added
enough sugar to make a syrup, poured
the syrup over the ham, and roasted
it until tender. It's not a cheap dish,
but it is a delicious one.
"A favorite dessert of mine," he
adds, lis Triie. To make it, put
layer of sponge cake in deep dish,
spread it with strawberry or grape
jam and over that put a layer 6f
whipped cream. Then repeat with the
cake, the jam and the cream until
the dish is full. And finally put the
whole thing in the icebox to stand
for several hours"
He also likes pies of every shape)

meringue.
As for recreation, Morton Downey likes
best Of all to spend few idle days out in
Connecticut, entertain his friends, and es-
pecially to play with his children. He also
enjoys playing on the organ or on the harp
which his mother taught him to play years
ago. When l am with her." he says, I'VE
still play duets and we've even been offered
opportunities to play together on the vaude-
vile and concert stage" But Mrs. Downey,
senior, is shy of the spot lights and fame
that have covered her son with glory als
made him favorite son of radio.

by GRACE TURNER

4 A ORION DOwNEY, the famous tenor
of radio and movies, is equally
v renowned among his friends for
. his Irish w.t. his amusing stories,
his habitually untrimmed hair, and his ability
to cook number of interesting dishes. His
career has embraced the ridiculous as well
as the sublime.
In the days before fame and Paul Whiteman
discovered him, Morton did little of every
thing. He served term as professional
butcher for an eastern railroad, fired
donkey engine in the freight yard, and
practiced his blarney as salesman of phono-
graphs insurance and aluminium. So jealous
was he about the aluminium pots and pans
that he learned to cook; and when he thrust
his Irish foot in the door of a dubious house
wife he was ready to show her how to prepare
the potatoes and asparagus for dinner.
He has graduated now from aluminium pans
to the electric waffle iron over which he pre-
sides at the family breakfast or late evening
parties. 1t is happy hobby with him to
busy himself with mixing bowls, heat the
waffle iron before his admiring guests, and
turn out batch after batch of crisp nut-and-
bran waff1es.
His wife, the beautiful Barbara Bennett,
is also proud of Morton's skill at cooking.
And her Hollywood sisters, Constance and
Joan, turn to him when they want recipes for

like for buffet supper. We have ham. baked
beans, spaghetti with meat balls and sauce,

The Downey household is delightful one
to visit. 1t is happy family that occupies
the beautiful country place near Greenwich.
