EASTER EGGS

EASTER EGGS.
(Thanks to Mrs. E. w. H.,
RiDerddle.
I wish to thank every one for
their suggestions on packing candy
for overseas mailing. Here are
answers to requests of the past
few days:
Coating Chocolate: One pound
chocolate, 2 cups sugar, 2 ounces
cocoa, butter, vanilla extract to
taste.
Melt the chocolate in top of dou-
BILE boiler, add sugar and mix well.
Melt cocoa, butter and stir it in
gradually with vanilla. Remove
from heat. Dip centers or eggs in
mixture, turn it around and drop
on baking sheet. The temperature
of the room should not be over 65
degrees. The first piece dipped
should be dry by the time the fourth
piece is dipped. If chocolate
thickens before dipping is completed
add hot water to bottom of double
boiler. Dipped chocolates should be
kept out of steam and cold air.
When set pack chocolates in boxes
lined with waxed paper as they
should never be exposed to air for
any length of time. Leftover choco-
late may be remelted or used for
centers by adding powdered sugar.
Easter Eggs: One can sweetened
condensed milk, maraschino cher
ries, about II cut in pieces; u cup
raisins, teaspoon lemon juice, y
cup chopped nut meats, coconut if
desired.
Mix together, add enough pow
dered or Ak sugar gradually until
no longer sticky. Shape into eggs
Let dry out for one hour, turning
over every quarter hour. Dip in
bitter chocolate or coating choco-
late.
Use any fondant recipe for Easter

you practice on one for few min

in melted chocolate or chocolate
coating. Decorate with icing when
dry. Eggs may be left without cho-
colate and rolled in coconut. Also
may be decorated with candy birth
day cake flowers purchased at dime
stores. These are SO easy to make
every child should be able to have
candy eggs at Easter.
With a little experimenting you
may use any flavoring and have
a variety of eggs. Last year used
lots of cherries in mine and they
were delicious. Every store doesn't
have cherries, but if you do find
some, use them by all means.

turns. The wife's lover, the wife,
the latter's old-school ham father,
and the adopted child each run
through their reveries. AS they do
so, the audience is rewarded witt
comedy, farce, travesty, in fact
everything but feeling of convic-
ton. Every one is as clever as
clever, which should be enough, but
somehow leaves a feeling of dis
satisfaction, as If it were not quite
what Foolish Notion" was striv-
ing to establish.
The third act, of course, finds
every one faced with the real home
coming, in which Mr.. Barry brave

contrast between the anticipation

Music Massed
For Masses
In New Film
BY PATRICIA SIMMONS,

Most persons going to concert
decide before hand whether its q
vocalist, a piano team, harp solo,
a cello recital or maybe a string
quartet they're in the mood for.
Unfortunately for those who at
tend the Hippodrome Theater this
week to see Adventure in Music"
there's no such choice. You get
the whole works thrown at you In
side OF an hour. Frankly, to our
way OF thinking that's too much
OF a conglomeration even for the
most avid OF music lovers.
In combining 10 classical vign-
cites into a feature-length work
Artists Films bring to the screen
such artistic personalities as Jose
1turbi, pianist; Igor CORN, baritone /:
Vronsky and Babin, DISTINGUISHED
duo-piano team; the Coolidge
String Quartet; eminent cello vir-
tuoso Emanuel Feuermann, and
Mildred billing. harpist.
Vronsky and Babin playing the
"Polovtsian Dances" open the con.
cert. Next thing you know there's
Jose 1turbi horning in with AL
benizs "Sevilla" and "Fantasie
1mpromptu," Opus Sc, of Chopin
Even before a stage hand could
have properly closed the top of the
piano Mr.. CORN appears to give
his baritone work out on Rossini' s
hackneyed Figaro opus better
known to music lovers as Largo al
factotum." BY and by the Coolidge
String Quartet gets around to a

tons, including Queen Victoria's

doubt Is what life ts-seemS hardly
to represent the gift Burns devout-
~ wished. Close to it. perhaps, as
Mr.. Barry always is closer than al
most any playwright you can name
when it comes to clutching at the
secret heart, but still not the poetic
Scots happily endowed wise man.
The Theater Guilds production,
directed by John c. Wilson, undeni-
ably represents one of the most
blithely imaginative efforts of the
season. Most playwrights are con-
tent to snuggle up to their char
acters. Not Mr.. Barry. He grabs
your hand and insists that you join
him inside their personalities, in
vites you to romp with him through
the qualities that make them ride
ulous, comic, pitiable, selfish, and,
at vagrant moments, noble. That
would be quite trick and you sit
there hoping that Mr.. Barry is
going to bring it off, but always
there is the vague sense that he
isn't. Not even with the fine help
OF Miss Bankead, Henry Hull, DON
aid Cook and the several other Ca
pable contributors to the noble ex-
pertinent.
X Il X
The humans Foolish Notion"
proffers are the ones intimately
associated with the playwright's
professional and artistic life. They
are primarily an actress, her re-
putedly dead husband who is a
great one for whimsy and used to
write humor, her leading man and
ardent sutton, and the adopted child
of the aforementioned pair. Mr..
Barry's general view of them is
that they are hayward children
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-02-27

and his method of exposing their
chlldike waywardness is never free
from an element of disdain. AS a
matter Of fact, he is savagely satir-
ical in many Of the antics he per-
nits them and the empty phrases
he has coined to earn them many
a solid laugh.
The play covers but one evening
in the essentially futile effort of
the group to find happiness.
The husband, who quixotically
joined Scottish Highland regiment
at the start Of the war, has been
legally declared dead and the wife
and her leading man are planning
to have a go at marriage. Know
ing what fellow the husband was
for whimsy, however, they can't
quite believe he Is dead; in fact,
there are messages in his elfin style
to indicate that at that very min
ute he Is on his way to the house.
This much is established in a
conventional first act that is not
nearly as bright as it must have
been designed to be.
The second is unconventional and
much brighter. That's the one in
which the playwright let's you look
at the imaginations of his people.
One by one, he lets you see them
fancy what it is going to be like

In Business
Industry Confirms
Labor Efficiency Drop
BY WARD SCHULTZ

The auto industry generally
recent charges of Harvey
Campbell of the Detroit Board Of
Commerce that labor's efficiency
is the lowest in years. Some are
resigned 10 what they call the
but many are bitter.
Detroit manufacturers are re-
luctant TO make specific charges
for fear OF stirring up employees
and causing stoppages, but here
are few examples of what may
develop into a real crisis:
The head of a truck making
company places efficiency at 65
per cent of 1887 and about rs per
cent of 1910
A top auto executive tells Of
walking in on a crap game during
working hours. Furious for a mo-
ment, he finally elbowed his way
through the dozen or more on
lockers and tapped the players
on the shoulder, asking them if
they were playing fair. Somewhat
sheepiskly, they returned to their
jobs.
He admitted quite frankly that
had he fired them. there would
have been work stoppage.

Stocks advanced today under the

ton IN rates.

Hills job will be TO expand

Stewards Loaf

Chief complaint by manufact.
urers is that union stewards re-
fuse TO work. Under their con-
tract, they are expected to work
when not occupied on union
chores but Company officials claim
many never work. One cites an
instance where the steward stood
in the middle of the floor reading
the paper.
THAT hardly helps morale,"
he said in disgust.
Part of the solution seems to be
some sort of incentive plan. Sew
eral companies here are looking
that way or have already made
the switch. The Ford foundry is
a case in point.
Companies which operate both
incentive and fiat pay plants say
there is no comparison.
