Miss Corio thinks it was pretty
original what Monogram, her studio
decided to do about her second pic
ture. They wanted it right away
and had no time to get a story
written, even if anyone had any
idea for story.
That did not bother her crew.

piece that had not been used, sc

Miss Corio, the pet of more critics
along the Eastern Seaboard where
she used to conf1ne her activities
than any other performer, thinks
it's because she does not care what
they say about her. The critics say
it begins with the fact that she is
excellent copy and ends with the
fact that she is a greatly likeable
person.
One of the best stories she tells
on herself is about Bosley Crowther

THE SUPER-CHICKEN

The poultry world is out to pro-
duce the Chicken Of Tomorrow. II
Is working on a postwar kluck-
kluck that will give a greater per-
centage of white and dark meat, a
fowl that will even have meat on the
neck and wings.
-
The Baby Chick Association Of
America and outstanding poultry
experts are to convene to set stand
ards for the Postwar Bird. If they,
by any chance, get an order of
chicken on a train or in restaurant
on the way to the meeting, their
zeal for the achievement of their
goal should be warmed 80 per cent.
=
Our experience with chicken late
ly leads to the conclusion that there
Is crying need for a chicken that
will have any meat whatsoever
ON it.
We don't know about the Chicken
of Tomorrow, but the Chicken of To-
day belongs among the war crimes.
-
There is not enough meat on most
restaurant chicken to hold the feath-
ers on. They must have been feed
ing these birds plastic cracked corn.
-
Or is 1t the fault Of the chefs,
whose practice 1t seems to be to
cook chicken only in some form
that will magnify its faults?
-
There may be chickens in Amer
lea with meat on them, but the res
taurants have been getting the other
kind. A good many chefs seek to
cover up the faults of these birds
by serving them in the style called
Southern Fried"
Now, the real Southern fried
chicken is delicacy, but too many
cooks in the East, West and North
have been merely demonstrating
that they don't know their compass
points.
We don't know what the stuff is
that they have been frying the chick
ems In, but it could be combination
of sawdust, putty and discarded
chewing gum.
We got Southern fried chicken
the other night that must have had
a wrapper made from the sweep
ings Of a porch where the painter had
been burning off the paint with
blowtorch.
There was some excuse for the
Southern fried wrapper" as the
chef didn't have much to work on in
the first place. Our dining compan-
ion swore that his order was a wood
pecker wrapped in fire-hose and
dipped in hot tar.
The chicken Ia king hasn't been
running good, either. II has been
strictly libel on royalty.
And have you ordered any chick
en- salad recently? Now we know
what becomes of those old ends of
lead pencils.

so SHE'S NERVOUS!

A California judge, granting Bar
bara Hutton quickie divorce, was
told by Barbara that her husband,
Cary Grant, sometimes had queer
moods and showed indifference to-
ward her guests which made her
nervous. From the court records:
Judge-How did this affect you?
Barbara-It made me nervous.
Judge-Did you require the serv-
Ices Of doctor?
Barbara-Yes.
Judge-Decree granted.
-
Curious fellows, these jurists. II
all the women in America who were
made nervous by their husbands got
divorces there wouldn't be a handful
of homes left in the land. Amer
lea is what she is because the wives
and mothers bore a lot with the
old man and managed to take lit
tie nervousness in stride. There are
thousands of husbands whose be-
havior toward the wife's friends Is
at times pretty bad. But even If
the average husband started heav-
Ing crockery the wife would over
look it. Only when he hit guest
would she call a doctor.
