Pork Calls For
Prunes In This
Economical Dish

Flavorful pork is often appeal
ing accompanied by fruit-pork
and apples; pork and cranberries;
pork and pineapple, and for an in
teresting variation here's pork
joined with prunes.
For this combination, pork
shoulder steaks are placed in a
frying-pan and Drowned in a hot
lard. Pork steaks arc an especially
economical choice at this time, ac-
cording to Reba Stages, foods ex-
pert. With the steaks Drowned on
both sides, the drippings are
poured off and onion slices are
placed over the steaks. Dried
pruneS are then arranged around
the steaks.
The braising liquid is made up
OF lemon juice and water and sea-
Soned with Worcestershire sauces
cloves, dry mustard and salt. This
mixture is poured over the steaks
and as in the usual braising pro-
cess, the pan is covered and the
liquid allowed to simmer-not boil
for one hour.
Pork tenderloin, ham slices and
Canadian-style bacon are equally
as tasty with this fruited COM
bination.

Some employers - those whose
former workers have drawn, re-

pensation checks-may receive re-

their payrolls remained stable.
Other, however, may see their
tax rates increase as much as two
tenths of one percent above their
1949 tax rates.
Under the tax determination for

who laid off workers extensively
during the year may experience

Bacon Any Time

Why reserve bacon for break
fast? Bacon is one of the most
adaptable of meats for home
makers to serve, says Reba Stages,
home economist Any hour of the
day this crisp, smoky meat may
add a savory touch to meals.
AS for breakfast, bacon is join
cd with scrambled eggs for a
lunchtime treat. To complete the
menu. fried potatoes and green
vegetable are added.
Bacon-noodle scramble pre-
sents another wise use of bacon
in a main luncheon dish. Bacon
strips are cooked in the usual
manner. Cooked noodels are COM
bined with beaten eggs, seasoned
then cooked in the bacon drippings
until done. This combination
makes an attractive serving with
noodles placed in the center of a
chop platter and surrounded by
the bacon strips.
For sandwiches, chopped cook
ed bacon is rightly combined with
peanut butter, cheese or chopped
prunes. Open-faced sandwiches
may be slipped in the broiler just
long enoungh to heat them.
When it comes to seasoning,
bacon along with its drippings is
perfect for green beans, broccoli,
spinach or corn pudding

the theme, how Christianity came
to England.
That's not fundamentally a
funny subject. but many of Fry's
lines were; at least at first. The
fact is that the comedy came out,
in actual performances, most def
nitely in those we played before
the formal opening for student
audiences"
Brady cannot explain this. He
does not think it is because COL
lege students have sharper eye
and ear for the humorous. Pos
sibly. they are just lighter hearted.
Or perhaps there are. things di-
rectors of Fry are incapable of
knowing. he says.
y X *
AS for Fry's characters, Brady
thinks they are soundly made and
not too difficult to represent even
though they happen to speak
verse.
FRY does create one dilemma
for the director with reference to
characters" Brady says. I'm the
case of three of those in Thor
they are on the stage all the
time-much of it with absolutely
nothing to do. You can't, of
course. just have them hanging
around cluttering up the place
and possibly diverting attention.
I found ways, good or bad I
don't know. to get them out of
there"
He got another one, a younger
son character, out of the play
entirely by the simple expedient
of ignoring him altogether and
giving his lines to another player.
AS writer who once wrote a
verse play, how does Brady feel
about Fry's brilliant success in
bringing it off?
We'll. he's it," the young c. U.
director says. Hes the writer
who can do it. He believes in
poetry. in words that have mean
ing and magic and music and,
what is more, he believes in the
intelligence Of audiences. He
doesn't think they are too dull
witted to understand what he is
saying merely because he says it
in word images.
II guess that Is why he is
Christopher Fry and stands way
out ahead Of everyone elese at
the moment"
It is all right, therefore, for
Fry to be exasperating to direc-
tors. He ends up so fascinating
later on.

no more than basic Journalism tC
ask Mr.. Brady how it feels to di-
rect such a playwright, one who
dares to write verse in a world
that seems confused by the SIM
plest prose.
Brady. a teacher of the drama
a successful novelist ("Edge ot
DoomO, a playwright cCount Me
M and an actor in his younger
and more frivolous days, has a
quick word to describe the expert
ence of directing Fry.
"Exasperating," is the word.
II would not want you to get
me wrong" he hastens to explain;
mot you or any one else, but Fry
is tricky. 1t is not that he writes
verse plays. He's got a mercurial
mind He changes moods like
lightning. In the middle of Sc
rlous sequence or passage, he will
drop line of ironically humorous
comment on what he has just
finished saying. You can't trust
him"
Instead of disliking this trait in
Fry. however, Brady finds il
highly stimulating. 1t is not as
striking distinction as the use
of verse, but it sets Fry above his
fellows in fascinating way. The
student actors at Catholic Univer-
sity responded to it every bit as
enthusiastically as the director of
Thor With Angels" Brady says.
Although Fry is a poet-play-
wright, whose name some enthu-
siastS link with Shakespeare's,
Brady and his college actors think
OF him principally as a dramatist.
They are not awed by him, as high
as they admire his genius, his
color and his daring. They figured
that the way to get him on the
stage was to regard him as a dra-
matte writer who had something
to say and chose to say it through
actors instead Of writing plain or
fancy poetry.
THE problems of Thor" Brady
explains, were two, giving it
movement and making the
speeches sound like sense as well
as mere musical sound"
Did everybody involved under
stand what Fry was driving at?
Yes" the director says, "he is
not an obscure writer. EVERYBODY
knew what Fry is saying. The
problem was rather just how to
read 1t so his words could have
the fullest and most exact mean
Ing. AS for the casts understand
ing of certain speeches. there was
one that I thought I might have
to explain. I asked the actor to
tell me his sense Of it. He ex-
planned it better than I could have
done 1t"
Have there been any surprises
IN the audiences reactions to
Thor?
None in particular" Brady
says. "Or. perhaps there is, al
though 1t is a little complicated
to explain. It relates to the COM
edy which flashes through the
dialogue and action. In the first
reading of Thor by the cast, there
seemed to be a lot Of laughs IN
the dialogue. Gradually, however,
some of this merriment seemed to
disappear in the seriousness of
