Sidney Blackmer who presided
over the three demented acts of it
when it was on Broadway a few
years ago Is head man of the Olney
production. There Is no doubt that
he is an expert hand at it. or that
without Blackmer and Mary Orr it

Chicken Every Sunday" is of
that life-and-I school of literature
which has evolved such other recent
best sellers as Il Remember Mama"
and The Egg and t.
1t is the original work-before the
Epsteins' dramatization-of Rose
mary Taylor who apparently had a
wonderful time growing up in a
boarding house environment ir Tus-
con, Ariz., in the period of World
War I. AS the Oldest daughter of
the boarding house proprietors, Miss
Taylor refused to take a prosaic
view of the people around her. From
her parents through the least color
full occupant of the premises, they
all struck her as having their dra-
matte absurdities. She renders a.
complete account of each one and
the total adds up to something
pretty funny, if not original.
Miss Taylor's family has that all
family resemblance which gives
such biographies their widespread
appeal, which makes trees that grow
in Brooklyn engrossing to people in
Peoria.

The Epsteins'. degree of loyalty
to Miss Taylor's parents is a deep
and permanent mystery to this cor
respondent. Certainly they appear
to have gone along with her in
making mother and father the
major humans in the mad galaxy at

I'D RAND was being needed in front of the
IL girl he was in love with, and he had to
stand there behind the counter and grin and
take it. And try to pass some of it back.
Cliff Ryerson said, Il hear you're making
good gross profit for the company. How do
you do it? Load up the tuna fish salad with
chopped celery?" He said it with great big
handsome smile. Ed knew the smile was for
Peggy's benefit, so she'd think it was all Just
good-natured ribbing.
Eds big hands were steady as he wiped
the counter slowly. Il make more GP than
you did when you were soda chief in this
store. That's why you're blowing off froth
like whipped-cream gun, bub'
How did you do it? Skimming the milk
instead of buying coffee cream?"
NO.. Ed said pleasantly. And l didn't
cut the chocolate syrup with sugar and water
and then have to dump it out when got

Remember when you used to-"

Office where she worked. Why? Cliff saw
Peggy every evening he could get her to date
him. So did Ed. Then why this late-after-
noon visitation?
Cliff bent his face to hers with fattering
intentness. so you know how to make GP,
sugar? Tell us about it,
WELL" Peggy began briskly, there are
the perfectly legitimate ways, like boiling
chicken for soup before you slice it for sand
wiches, and then using the leftover scraps
for salad And you leave butter out of Sand
wiches like ham-and-egg that are greasy
enough already. And there are tricks of buy
ing. Ed told me about eggs. You used to
buy them in the carton He buys them loose.
Same grade eggs. Lower price. And another
thing, each day he's been featuring new lunch
specials that are filling and attractive but
inexpensive and give good margin of profit"
She paused to draw BREATH and Cliff said
admiringly. Sugar, you've certainly learned
Evening star., 1948-06-20

that he had never seen anyone more beauti-
full. She was wearing a dark parka with
bright red lining that echoed the gay color the
wind had whipped into her cheeks. Her eyes
sparkled more brightly than the handles of
the sirup pumps; even the tip of her perky
little nose was nipped with delicate color.
She said, why don't you boys stop rib
bing each other? know how you make gross
profit. Eds been telling me-"
Ed LOOKED at the lovely, gay little face and
felt a warmth flow through his chest He
wanted to say, This isn't ribbtng, honey
Because it wasn't. 1t was for blood. The talk
that was going back and forth between him
and Cliff was like knife fight in the dark
He couldn't figure what Cliff was up to. Cliff
had come down here to the big store on
Nassau Street this afternoon at the time
when he knew Peggy would be dropping in
for hot chocolate on the way home.from the
Evening star., 1948-06-20

He gave Ed hard little flash of smile. But
this big palooka knows ways of making GP
that he never tells you about. Do you whip
milk into the butter. chief"
mo, Chief" Ed said cheerfully. DO you
ever leave the ice cream out of matted and
froth it up fast in the mixer so the customer
can't tell the difference for suds?"
''Oh, stop needing" Peggy said You
both know that neither of you would use
those methods. They're dishonest
Right" Ed said. you wouldn't have
anything to do with crook, would you,
Peggy"
Her little face grew serious and very adult.
She said with quiet determination, "rd drop
him like hot potato
DO you get that, chief" Cliff laughed,
patting Peggy's red-mittened hand approv-
ingly.
I'D HAD an almost overwhelming impulse
to jump the counter and punch Cliffs nose.
Cliff was half head the taller and good
deal broader in the shoulders, but Ed wasn't
thinking of that. The point was that every
dirty trick Cliff was jokingly accusing him
of was one that Cliff himself had practiced
when he used to manage the counter in this
big downtown store. No doubt he still used
some of them in the new place up near Radio
City that he'd been put in charge of a few
months ago. But Ed made his gross profit
the hard way, through careful planning and
daily worry and work.
He laid out paper napkin and filled
glass of water for Cliff. Peggy was already
slipping her hot chocolate. What are you
having chief"
LET us customers make up our minds, soda
man," Cliff said. Get lost for while"
"Yes, STR, yes, sir Ed said He winked
at Peggy and moved little away. Then he
saw Cliff do something that made his fighting
muscles harden and tense. He saw Cliff pull
a light-blue slip of paper out of his pocket
and put it into Peggy's hand with flourish
1T WAS favorite act of Cliffs. Ed had seen
him do it twice before, when he was rushing
some girl, trying to show her how headlong
serious he was. He would slip his salary check
into her hand and give her that long, intent,
masterfully adoring look that he was giving
Peggy now. Ed knew the act by heart.
Handing them out for souvenirs, Cliff?
No, sugar. From nOV on you can haze, the
handling Of one like that. Every week regular.
Say the Word.
Is is this a PROPOSAL, Cliff?
None other than, honey.
The arteries in Eds temples were beating
as he remembered his own stumbling little
speech to Peggy one night last week after see
ing her home from Danceland. Il don't sup
pose you'd - Gee, Peg know it's a lot of
nerve to ask you - but I've been wanting
to -" And Peggy putting her fingers hastily
to his lips, whispering in sort of panic, mot
yet, Ed! don't want to make up my mind
yet. There's - there's =" There was Cliff.
That was it.
