stated that it was indebted to him
for the excellent pictures of the

dies such as the erecting of the
side rails. the laying Of the con-
,orete, the Widening, Of the road
he'd. the Construction of the run
way leading over the trestle on
the Bahia Honda bridge, and 9TH
er details are exceIlently covered
and reproduced.
In the articles, the history Of
the long fight for the bridges, the
fact that it is ''the greatest Over
sea series of bridges in the world, |"
the breakfast in Miami, lunch in

also passed on its first reading,
and provides:
"A license Of $500 be required

Keith says.
That is the fine old New England COM
bination - lobster and blueberry pie.
If he likes the dishes of the North. Mr..
Keith also has taste for some of the famous
southern specialties, among them dish of
possum of which we do not often hear.
Il have southern mother" Ian explains,
who makes gorgeous things known as pop
overs; and also corn bread, made. of course, of
white corn meal and buttered, by our family,
a layer at time as we eat it,
Then every year my grandmother used to
send us roast possum. 1t is extremely rich
and fat and succulent and bit like wild goose
in flavor"
German cooking too, finds favor with Mr.
Keith. When he is playing in New York, he
frequents German restaurant after the show,
sometimes selecting that international stand
by, frankfmters; and at Others choosing brat
wurst which he describes as "a marvellous
thing, with its somewhat sour, richly roasted
flavor"
There is no conventional rule that governs
Ian Keith's preferences. He is too independent
for that 1t is the taste that matters to him,
the taste that answers his craving at the
