the menu was announced:

Coffee ala G,Den
All in all, this dinner was voted
the all time high for the club record
to date. It was remarked that with
= little practice the male chefs
developed an assurance and a sense
of poise which was most becoming.
There was evident q less frantic and
hurried attitude on the part of the
well known Joe, on this, his second
attempt. It promised well for the
culinary efforts Of the other male
members Of the club.
Since this dinner is well worth
initiating by other members of other
clubs which it seems are now being
put together, we may as well take
OF our coats, put on our aprons
and chefs caps and 60 right to work
with Joe as coach.
THE EGGS A LA JOE.
This dish being served for an
appetizer, one egg per person was
allowed. The eggs were first boiled
hard, peeled and cut in halves
Yolks are then removed, mashed
fine and mixed with bit of cold,
fine minced chicken, a little mus
tard, pepper and salt, chopped
parsley and little mayonnaise to
serve as the binder. The whites
are filled with this mixture and
pressed firmly together, to look like
one single egg. Pin with tooth
pick if you feel jittery) Then dip
each remade egg in the white OF
another egg, then roll well in bread
crumbs and fry in hot fat until
nicely Drowned. With this serve a
little cream sauce. CWork little
grated cheese into the sauce If you
like, giving you a sauce Mornay)
OLD-FASHIONED PEASE
PORRIDGE.
We all know about pease porridge
hot and pease porridge cold, and SC

| the labors of making pease porridge?
The peas are sorted and put tc
soak the night before and then ir
the morning they are put to boil
in water and a ham bone and
carrots and this and that and or
and on and on, all day. It Is Z
herculean job. So every one was
feeling a bit sorry for Joe, the
demon chef.
But what they did not know, but
which we reveal now, is the deer
secret of present-day pease por.

can of condensed pea soup for each

In Song of the Islands" his pre-

several bathing suit scenes.
And now in "Footlight Serenade"

Payne, and otherwise exhibits what
some of his critics call "the body

"A little bit of that sort of thing, :"

because I've been taking it from
here to breakfast. But I did spend
II years of learning to act on Broad

Whether the studio will heed his
ultimatum remains to be seen. Thus
far goth Century-Fox has two other
pictures scheduled in the immediate
future for Mature" Sioux City
and Down to the Sea in Ships"
Il don't think there are any body

his courses so much that he was
given credit for only half of the

He did not take. the play-writing

would meet the public's desired
standard, yet not cost more than
5000 for new material.
But they're putting their heads
together and trying to figure every
possible angle.
Studios estimate that costs OF
new material for most sets range
from $4,000 to $4,000 film, de-
pending upon its type.
And the number of sets per pic
ture ranges up to 100 or more. The
average, however, is about 20.
Cedric Gibbons of M-G-M, dean
of motion picture art directors
those penny saving chaps the
studios hire to plan and approve
the sets used in film-says:
I'VE can hold the costs down to
the 5000 mark for some pictures,
but on the vast majority, / frankly
don't know now just how we're
going to manage 1t. Why. we fire.
quently spend that much money for
just one set"
The Other Side.
Executives at other studios gen.
orally share much the same view.
From Producer Director Leo Nc
Carey comes this comment:
This new Government order is
bound to cause some problems, but
in the long run I think it's going to
result in the making Of better
pictures.
TITS going to require better di-
rection, better acting and better
story plots or situations and less
depending upon lavish and expen-
sive props to put over a picture.
After all. II you've got excellent
direction, excellent acting and an
excellent story, you can shoot as
good a picture in front of 2 by 4
as you can inside a marble palace
McCarey has produced some of
the biggest hit pictures turned out
Of Hollywood. He now is starting
"Once Upon a Honeymoon" which
he says will call for considerable
ingenuity to keep the new material
costs within the limit.
But Gibbons Is not 50 enthusi-
astic:
Right now, we're planning pic
ture called Men of the Sea, patri-
otic film that should do great
deal for public spirit and morale.
Hopes for Exceptions.
ITO make it as authentic as pos
sible, we've got to have cannon
that will fire, recoil and in every
other way appear realistic. And
Evening star., 1942-05-31

we also will have to build sections
of boat decks for the climatic battle
scene at sea.
"Well. the cannon and boat decks
alone would cost considerably more
than $1,000 to build. Then what
are we going to do about all the
other sets for the picture?
Gibbons says his first reaction to
the new order is that it likely will
result in a lot of parlor- bedroom
and-bath pictures-or films of a
social structure that don't require
elaborate settings. He hopes for
a change in the order making ex-
ceptions for certain pictures.
"As a matter of fact, the movies
don't spend nearly as much money,
actually, as some businesses do in
p-.tting their product onto the mar
ket," he says.
I'm not saying that we don't
spend money, and lots OF it. We
have to in order to put on the
market a product the huge public
will buy. But the cases Of fragrant
waste that you hear about are
either imaginary or are the isolated
exceptions. There are just as good
efficiency experts in the movies as
there are in any other business.
"A Real Problem"
when you talk about making a
million-dollar picture, the public
automatically thinks: Why, you
can make anything you want with
that much dough-
But they don't stop to figure that
Of that million. approximately s70O,-
600 is written off right at the start
TO the purchase price of the story,
salaries of the writers and other
costs that go into the mere making
of the script.
"Of the remaing 100000, about
two-thirds has TO go for labor. That
means, then, that you have 100000
or less to spend in the actual max
ing of the picture.
Now that tire and other re-
strictions are curbing location trips
and causing us to shoot more and
more scenes indoors, that means
we've got to spend much more
money IN making sets for scenes
that ordinarily would be available
IN real outdoor existence.
So you see, trying to make a
picture now with only $1,000 TO
spend for new material is a real
problem. don't think any one in
the industry has figured out yet how
we're going to do it."
