again to do graduate work at the

page editor on Pittsburgh paper.
Came then a succession of editorial
Jobs and finally top place as managing
editor on a big national, woman's

house in New York and remodeled it.
Miss Kerr still loves and lives in
that New York house where she has
collected much fine old furniture, pre-
dominantly OF satinwood, and many
pieces of fine old silver - from crested
service plates to scores of exqulsitely
fashioned snuff boxes and vinaigrettes
- tiny boxes intended to hold per
fume- soaked sponges. which the ele-
CANT beauties of the Eighteenth Cen
tury habitually carried with them.
Only on occasion, nowadays, does
Miss Kerr go back to the Maryland
farm She is very urban person and
is happier in the big city. But their
food is marvellous" she says. They
cook oysters in Maryland better than
anywhere else in the world. There is
nothing like their fried oysters or
oyster pie. And they roll fresh herring
in cornmeal and saute it in a heavy
frying pan. Then there is their baked

shad - stuffed with highly seasoned
bread dressing and baked very, very
slowly so that the smaller bones ac-
tually dissolve in the cooking.
Everybody knows about southern
hot Breads" she goes on, but Mary
land has several wonderful specialties
"a sweet-potato hot bread, and
white potato hot bread, and mullins
made with potato. One of the best
desserts is apple-sauCe pie: but you
need dextrous hand for, after the pie
is baked and just before you serve it,
you must lift off the top crust and
add a little thick cream to the apple
sauce filling Then you replace the
crust; and it should look perfect"
In the end, Miss Kerr produces four
interesting recipes for us: recipes for
colonial gingerbread, date cupcakes,
custard cornbread and -- newer but
also delicious - Ritz sauce to be
served with ice cream:

- rare gift for making modern

There is the college presidents

are stiff1y entertained at heavy, un-

utter contrast to this, there is the

little dinners that give her hospitality
a bright reputation among the know

Completely cut, scored and ti- tied, the picture is "Call Out the Marines" comedy with Victor Me- Laglea and Edmund Lowe in g rec vival. of their Flagg and Curt roles. Now that the Marines really have been called out on vital busi- ness, the film just isn't funny.
 Worse still, the good-natured rib- ping Of our tough sea soldiers now would seem like ridicule. Tn peace time maybe 1t was oil right for a bunch of cuties to disrupt routine at military base, and figuring in a comedy chase sequence with tanks end scout ears. Today it would look lust plain silly.

 New Show Next Week

The best yet is the capsule caption of the buriesque show being offered every afternoon and evening this week ct Jacques tileater Yesterday's audience went wild over the col0red mixed dancing team of Derby Wil- son and Frenchy, though the former was the act himself.
 Alyne Payne, the blonde campus cutie, Garcia Gomez, brunette Span- ish beauty and Valerie Parks, plat- mum blonde, strip the onlookerg Of considerable applause with Miss Gomez receiving e we bit more than teia name star, Valerie.
 Johnny D'Arca, stutteriilg laugh provolger, features the coFnedians though the veterans Jack Diamond and Harry 'ShufEles' Levan prove that experience certainly pays. Their sketches are really fu1y and the best any comedians have yet otfer- cd. After all the comedians are the nucleus of buriesque though the shippers get tho prominent l1lar- quee billings.
 Felicia Shore, eccentric brunette dancer, is just passable and by no means near as good as several ot the artists in previous shows. Harry White end Charley Schultz capably put over their gtraightman bita while blonde Ethel Deveaux lends Q helping hand.
 Plenty of laughs enjoyed, but not anticipated, were ct the expense ot e new chorus girl breaking In for the first time. It was really pathetic to watch the youngster trying hei darndest to follow the dance rou' tines, but the harder she tried the more perplexed she became. On sev' eral of the fast numbers she wa taken from the chorus and must have watched proceeding from the wing.
 Jimmy Cavanaugh, Waterbury own singing troubadour, will bring his own brand new show into towr next week, starring Bobby Morris comedian, and the blonde bombshel from Texas, lovely Marlene.
