And SO is the Durant News
fascinating and different Cooking
School that is just around the
corner, opening Tuesday, January

minute plans are being complet-
ed, even as this paper goes to

No opening bells will be needed
for the eagerly-awaited, three-day
school, trimming with novelty.
romance and practical appeal, for
advance indications point to a ca
pacity attendance of home makers.
Men have their annual owen
tons. where they listen to lec-
lures from specialists, experts
who have devoted years to study
ing and experimenting along con-
structive lines. There the crowds
+ business men get a fresh view
point on their job, new ideas and
enthusiasm to carry back to work.
Now comes this practical rally
of homemakers to contribute fresh
perspective for the "same old
job" the monotonous day-in-and-
day out job, yet the most impor-
tant business in the world
The feminine convention dele
gates may not pound on glass and
sing pep songs, but they will get
up-to-the minute news on every
phase of household lore, and they
will hear from specialists in their
own field, who will direct an in
yentory OF simplified methods,
routine, products and latest equip
ment, pointing the easy road to
smooth home management.
They may seem like a tall or
der for n motion picture, but
this entertainment is no ordinary
film .
True, it was cast, directed and
filmed in a famed Hollywood
studio, but it was assembled
thoughtfullv and patiently to
bring more than passing amuse-
ment. Everyday happenings
were dramatized in the sound
plot. Behind the sparkling hui
NOR and suspense that are so ne
cessary to screen stories, was a
deliberate plan-an ambitious de-
termination to carry instructions,
inspiration and worthwhile home
news to women in every commun-
ity.
The camera and the home spe-
cialists got together on their Wig
orous investigation, and the News
was quick to snap up the chance
to offer the interesting result.
Never has the camera been
more faithful than in this motion
picture cooking school. Never
has a model kitchen been portray
ed so accurately and in such de-
tail.
The camera took it's time and
it took its close-ups, so that every
person in the Strand will have a
"laroe rs life, and twice as ma.
tural" view of each operation.
There will be no "orchestra cir
cle' at this entertainment, since
the back row guests of the News
will have an equal chance to peer
into the busy mixing bowl, watch
ing the def steps Of measuring.
Dreaming, sitting and thorough
mixing. no overlooking the final
work Of baking, roasting, French
frying or freezing.
For this is no h~alf-hearted de-
monstration. Each delicious dish
will be completed and shown with
such realism that there are sure
to be hungry "ohs', and "ahs"
from the audience. If any stray
husbands get into the theatre,
they are certain to ask: "When
