 Pink Roses for Breakfast
 To interview Miss Darrieux, 8 correspondent ar-tic-u-lates as dis tinct-ly as possible and usually ends up by posing his questions through a personable interpreter-secretary named Mary Lee Martin. Far from being an ordeal, this scheme works out very pleasantly. I had a lot of laughs.
 One laugh came from a men, tion of temperament. Upon her arrival in New York, the actress was asked by reporter if she were temperamental. She coun- tered indignantly by asking whether that was any of his business. Trou- ble was that "temperamentar by French connotation, means "sensu- ous."
 Crossing the continent, Miss Darrieux managed to keep ade- quately, though oddly, fed by stabbing blindly at items on the dining car menus. Sometimes she'd get broccoli and oatmeal for dinner, or she might find herself facing baked Alaska for breakfast:
 She didn't worry, though, un-
 til after she'd spent night at
 hotel in Hollywood. In the
 morning she craved coffee and
 rolls. A long conversation with
 somebody downstairs resulted in
 the delivery of two dozen pink
 roses. Not caloric in car-
 load.
 Although she doesn't under stand very readily, the actress al- ready speaks English with some fluency and considerably clarity. She also reads. During the Wright trial, she always got the morning paper when she awoke at g and translated the sensational story for her husband. "It was terrible" she said. T liked it."
 Wants to Play Drums
 In fact, the actress seems to like everything American, from slang to swing music. Visiting Harlem en route to Hollywood, she was thrilled by the Lindy Hop and now she wants to learn the Big Apple. She's full of exhuber- ence and rhythm; huns and clicks her tongue in jazz time when she's not talking; wishes she could play the drums and saxophoneS.
 Other new enthusiasimS are chewing gum, ice cream sodas and American cars. Also American radio. 50 much better here as in France, where all is adyertis- ing" she said.

STATE

Capacity audiences were well- pleased with the opening perform anceS yesterday of "Penitentiary" and "Fit For a King" the two big hits which may be seen and en- joyed today and tomorrow at War ner Brothers State theater.
 "Penitentiary." prison story and the seasons most powerful blast of thrills, is picture well worth see- ing.
 Walter Connolly, John Howard, Jean Parker and Robert Barrat play the leading roles, while Marc Lawrence, Dick Curtis, Ann Doran. Arthur Hohl. Marjorie Main and Paul Fix are seen in lesser parts.
 Here is one drama of the prison world that does not lean on the usual jailbreak for thrills. It is the story of a different sort of jailbreak "a psychological one.
 It shows the escape from moral disintegration of a young prisoner undergoing a severe punishment for and accidental crime. Not only con- victs, but a girl and the warden himself are accomplices to the "es- cape".
 "Penitentiary" makes its prison merely background for truly fine dramatic entertainment. Be sure not to miss it.
 Included on the program as the big hit is Joe E. Brown in "Fit For King.
 The story, a tale of intrigue and political knavery in a mythical Eu- ropean kingdom, Is one of the most hilarious farces that has ever been made by the wide-mouthed come dian. Helen Mack and Paul Kelly head a large supporting cast.
 The parade of hits is on its way to the State theater! Attractions starting Friday include "The Big Broadcast of 1888" with w. c. Fields heading a stellar cast; also Midnight Intruder" with Louis Hayward and Barbara Read. Watch the newspapers for further an- nouncementS.

To the person who has a basic knowledge of foods and food needs, menu planning to make meals ap- petizing as well as provide the food essentials for good health consti- tuteS ar alluring game, like fitting the irregular pieces irto a jib saw puzzle, the State Department of Health stated today, addressing its weekly bulletin to housewives and others who face the problem of planning meals.
 First there must be general pattern or guide which determines how many essential pieces there must be and the ingenuity of the one in charge will break these down into varied sections to form a more intricate design. These essential pieces for planning each days meals include quart of milk for each child, pint of milk for each adult; vegetables of all kind with yellow and green prevailing and some un- cooked; potatoes; fruits with en- phasis on the citrus fruits and toma- toes, others being cooked or canend; meat. fish, cheese and eggs; a varied supply of cereals and breads, at least part of which are of course grain.
 Appetizing Meals
 With these essentials at hand, they can be nicely blended into ap- petizing meals which provide the essentials for good health. The idea proposed by some food faddists that certain foods are indigestible when combined with certain other foods, the bulletin said, is grotesque enough to provide a bit of humor in an otherwise more CT less serious subject, and those who follow blind ly such a false doctrine display ig- norance, for foods as nature provid- ed them have within them those same combinations which the food faddists condemns.
 The protective foods, milk, veg etableS and fruits, must be provided daily regardless of the age group served, but successful meals are those well balanced as to protein foods, StarcheS, minerals and fats. This means meat or fish should have its accompaniment of potatoes Ga starchy food) and vegetables such as carrots, string beans, steamed cabbage, or q salad (rich sources of minerals and vitamins) and for des- sert fruit or a custard (which adds the SweeD. If a stew is used com- bining meat and many vegetables in one dish, light Starchy dessert would be satisfying. No meal should have at the same time potatoes, lima beans or succotash, hot bis cults and a bread or cornstarch pudding-it is much too starchy. On the other hand, meals are also un- balanced that leave out the starch, such as tomato juice cocktail, veg etable salad, and grapefruit for des- sert. In order to balance this, the dessert could well be pastry or cake.
 A practical application of these principles is contained in the fol- lowing meal plans which the depart ment recommends as guide in providing well balanced meals for any family group:

 Fruit = choice of: (a) Orange or grapefruit pulp: (b) Orange, grape fruit, tomator or pineapple juice; Co Cooked apples. prunes, apricots.

 NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood, Feb. 23-There is no mystery about the motive of movie makers in hiring so many foreign stars, mostly feminine. All Holly wood knows that the answer is for eign profits. A good solution to the problem, at home and abroad, is glamor-gal like Danielle Darrieux.
 The foreign market has become increasingly important to the pie ture business, partly because the market itself has been curtailed by political censorship, partly be- cause production costs of pictures has risen sharply.
 The more expensive features, unless they're exceptional hits, scarcely will more than pay for themselves in the United States. The reutrn from other countries represents the profit. Studios there fore are concerned with making pie lures with stars who'll pack 'em in from Beunos Aires to Stockholm. "HiHo the Darrieux"
 Greta Garbo causes no box of | flee riots in America, and Marlene Dietrich's recent flickers have prompted thousands of families to stay at home and pop some corn and listen to the radio. Yet both actresses, however creaky their vehi- cles, draw bushels of francs, kopecs, marks and pengoS into the tills of European theaters.
 So the dream of every movie
 company is to find stars who
 are known and adored by for
 eign audiences, and who are
 capable and exotic and freshly
 appealing enough to captivate
 Americans.
 And that's the reason why everybody at Universal Studio is going around blithely singing Hi Ho the DarrieuX."
 Envy and Delight
 Danielle Darrieux is 8 star in any language. True, at this writ ing she has not appeared in any, thing from Hollywood except dozens of magazines and thousands of newspapers. Nevertheless she is re- ceiving bushels of fan mail, and her face and architecture are the envy and delight, respectively, of her feminine and male admirers.
 She also is being seen on the screen. Miss Darrieux is the only importation whose recent foreign made pictures are of sufficient meri t to win American shoWings. One is Club de FemmeS," which l is not being exhibited in all states because it is by no means an Elsie Dinsmore story.
 The other is ''Mayerling," in which Miss Darrieux co starred with Charles Boyer. To anybody who doesn't understand French it provides striking evidence of the i effectiveness of fine, sensitive act ing, because the foreign dialog is
