HOLLYWOOD may not see
I A Katharine Hepburn working
before its cameras again for
some time; she left when she fin-
ished “Woman of the Year” with
no plans for making more pic-
tures, but with plenty for doing
that new play; if it runs as long
as "Philadelphia Story" did she
won’t be ready for pictures again for
more than two years.
Incidentally, Spencer Tracy—who
also wants to do a play, if he can find
the right one—had his hair cut for
that new Hepburn picture, the first
time he's done that since 1935, when
he had a haircut for “Murder Man,”
; Lunn Chamber

which he made with Myrna Loy;
think back and you'll remember that
he's been doing “unshaven and un-
shorn" roles, a long string of them.
Case Investigators on the air's
“Are You a Missing Heir" program
travel thousands of miles and spend
hundreds of dollars in search of those
heirs — so imagine their surprise
when a legatee turned up practically
under their noses; she’s Agatha
Friederick, and is a script-writer for
the agency handling the Heirs pro-
gram.
We know only that “the studio has
made some concessions" in that dif-
ference of opinion between Deanna
Durbin and Universal that’s kept her
off the screen all this time. Last Oc-
tober it was reported that she was
demanding the right to choose her
vehicles and approve her leading
men and directors—when a star
takes things into her own hands that
way she's usually on the skids that
lead to oblivion. Now she’s set to
make pictures again. Her husband,
Vaughn Paul, will not change his
mind about his resignation as a Uni-
versal producer.

It seems to be children’s day at
the Columbia studios. Baby Davy
James, the infant Marlene Dietrich
didn't drop in "The Lady Is Willing,"
has a new contract with options that
cover a total of 21 years, now a year
old, he's known professionally as
“Wonder Baby Corey," his name in
that picture. And 15-day-old Norma
Jean Wayne is working in “Blondie's
Blessed Event."
That bartender whom you'll see
with Richard Arlen and Arline Judge
In “Wildcat” once had his day as a
famous man. He Is Tom Kennedy,
and once upon a time he fought Jack
Johnson for the world's heavyweight
championship.

Speaking of war pictures—Para-
mount bought a story called “Chan-
nel Port” way back last April, and
now is going to do something about
it. It will be filmed in England, and
executives are hoping to get Lau-
rence Olivier or David Niven for the
lead. It’s a Commando story; the
hero’s a long-distance swimmer, who
swims the channel from France to
England with important information.
—*—
Columbia grabbed the title, “The
Commandos," first, however, their
story deals with an American boy
who becomes one of that daring
band, and a girl in Norway who
heads an underground movement
against the invaders—one more “boy
meets girl” plot, in a new setting.
Washington Day Ideas
It took Washington to make the
cherry famous by telling the truth
about cutting down that famous tree,
but it takes only a sampling to make
us appreciate the excellence of this
luscious red-ripe berry.
If you’re sensitive to color, and
most of you are, I am sure, then
you can make the
most of the possi-
bilities which the
cherry offers for
pepping up win-
ter mealtime.
With appetites
riding high, but
opportunities for
decoration fairly
low in these cold-
er months, the
Washington birthday and its syno-
nym the cherry, come to the rescue.
All of today’s recipes have “Um-
um" tacked onto them, so make
your bids for fame by starting off
with:
•Cherry Torten.
(Serves 6 to 8)
Torten Layer:
1 cup sifted flour
' . ‘s teaspoon salt
' 1 tablespoon sugar
^ % cup butter
bnal egg yolk, slightly beaten
Combine flour, salt and sugar. Cut
in butter with knives or pastry
blender. Add beaten egg yolk and
mix thoroughly. Press this mixture
into baking dish or pie tin. Cover
with cherry topping and bake in a
hoto(425-degree) oven for 15 min-
utes.Reduce heat to moderate (350
degree) for about 20 minutes.
Serve hot or cold, with whipped or
plain cream if desired.
Cherry Topping:
1 No. 2 can red, tart, pitted cherries
V cup sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
Drain juice from cherries. Heat
to boiling point. Combine sugar and
cornstarch. Add enough cold wa-
ter to make a smooth paste. Pour
this gradually into the boiling cher-
ry juice and cook 5 minutes, stir-
ring constantly. Remove from fire,
add cherries and butter.
This upside down cake is as good
as it looks because the cherries are
interlaced with
the delicious car-
amel mixture.
You'll be extra
clever for vary-
ing the dessert
course with this
newcomer to the
upside down cake
family for it's
bound to carry
off first honors:

dry ingredients. Beat in thoroughly
and fold in flavoring and stiffly beat-
en egg whites. Melt butter in heavy
skillet and add brown sugar. Over
this spread cherries, then pour over
cake batter. Bake 30 to 40 minutes
in a moderate (350-degree) oven.
If you ever have cherries left
over, you may thicken the juice
with cornstarch mixed in water and
heated to the boiling point. This is
especially good on rice or cottage
pudding or as a sauce over ice
cream.
Cherries and peaches are an in-
spired combination, especially in
pie. You'll be enthusiastic over this
one:
Peach Cherry Pie.
1 recipe plain pastry
% cup sugar
% cup flour
1% cups canned tart red cherries
1% cups sliced peaches (canned) y
% teaspoon almond extract r
% cup juice from canned cherries
3 tablespoons butter
Drain fruit. Mix flour and sugar
and sprinkle % of the mixture in s
lined pastry tin. Add fruit and cher-
ry juice to which has been added
the almond extract. Sprinkle fruit
with remaining flour-sugar mixture.
Dot with butter. Make lattice top
for pie and flute edges. Bake in a
hot (425-degree) oven 10 minutes,
then in a moderate (350-degree)
oven 25 minutes.
Meat balls slim the budget and
still remain a good main dish for
dinners this sea-
son. They're nu-
tritious and fla-
vorful made with
egg, milk and
bread, and color-
ful with green
peas riding in the
rich brownish red
gravy:
The war has done that which cold
weather has failed to do in the past
—cut down the number of New
Yorkers who in winter go to sea to
fin for sport. Under regulations
which went into effect Christmas
day, all boats leaving Atlantic coast
ports must carry a flag that readily
identifies them to the coast guard,
the object being to prevent espio-
nage. Also each fisherman must
have a permit bearing his photo-
graph and fingerprints—and only
United States citizens can get those
permits. Also the skipper of each
boat is held responsible not only for
his crew, but also for his passen-
sers. Many of New York’s most ar-
dent fishermen are aliens. Then
there are those who are citizens, and
while they do not mind snow, ice
and biting winds, they think it bet-
ter to stay ashore in wartime. As
• result, fishing boat skippers are
not happy.
Sheepshead bay is the headquar-
ters of New Yorkers who like to fish
in salt water in winter as well as
in summer. Week-ends are the busy
times, and ordinarily, 50 boats go out
to sea. In the past, unless the
weather was unusually bad, they
have had capacity cargoes of an-
glers. The Sheepshead bay fishing
fleet consists of craft of all kinds
ranging from boats built especially
for fishing parties on up—or down—
to old steam yachts that once were
the toys of the wealthy. Most of the
fishing parties are composed of
men only, but there are also women
devotees who do not fear cold or
tough weather. Usually, the fisher-
men form a pool and the winner is
the one with the biggest catch. In-
cidentally, no fisherman need go
home empty-handed no matter how
bad his luck. Right on the water
front are places where fresh fish
may be bought.
“In Dutch?"—Insurance.
. Many a New Yorker who never
carried automobile insurance, now
does so. The law which went into
effect the first of the year is the
cause. A motorist does not need
insurance to get a driver's permit or
registration plates, but he certainly
does if he is in an accident, the law
.being designed to end driving on the
part of those who are not financial-
ly responsible. If he gets tangled
up with another motorist or a pedes-
trian and can’t show proof that he
is able to pay for all damages, he
won’t be a licensed driver anymore
and even his car will be disbarred
[ from future registration. If he at-
- tempts to drive an unlicensed car,
he may be sent to jail for six
months.

The cherry family is one with
many branches. In addition to
the red, tart pitted cherries which
are abundant in the summer and
which can easily be put up well
in cans, there are two other types
of cherries worthy of mention.
The first of these is a white
type cherry commonly called
Queen Anne. This lends itself
well to salads and adds distinc-
tive flavor especially when used
in combination with other fruits
such as pineapple, oranges,
grapefruit and bananas. A little
bit of the Queen Anne cheery goes
a long way.
The other type, called Bing
cherries, are deep, dark red, and
quite sweet. For that reason they
are at home in desserts. They
can be made into sauces and
served over ice creams and pud-
dings.
•Meat Balls.
(Serves 6)
2 slices bread
% cup milk
1 beaten egg
% pound ground beef
% cup ground pork
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1 small onion, grated
2 cups strained tomatoes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup peas, cooked
Soften bread in milk, add egg.
Mix meats and add seasonings, salt,
pepper, chili sauce and onion. Form
into balls, roll in flour and brown
in hot fat. Add tomato and wor-
cestershire sauce and simmer for
35 minutes. Add peas and cook until
they heat through.
•Banana Muffins.
(Makes 10 muffins)
2 tablespoons shortening
% cup sugar
% cup chopped banana
1 egg
1 cup vitamin-enriched wheat flakes
% cup milk
1 cup flour
i % teaspoon salt
2% teaspoons baking powder
Blend shortening and sugar, add
chopped banana and egg and beat
thoroughly. Stir in wheat flakes and
milk. Sift dry ingredients and add
to first mixture. Stir only until
flour disappears. Fill greased muf-
fin tins until % full and bake in a
moderately hot (400-degree) oven
about 30 minutes.
•Creamed Spinach.
Wash spinach leaves carefully un-
der running water, being careful to
remove all dirt. Boil without water
5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Drain
and chop fine. Make a medium thick
cream sauce, and blend into the
chopped spinach until it becomes
part of the leaves. Season to taste
with salt, pepper and a little dash of
nutmeg As a garnish serve wedges
or slices of hard-boiled egg around
the spinach platter.

When Tom Dewey left the district
attorney’s office New Year’s day,
New York lost an ace racket buster.
On the other hand, the ranks of
music regained one of its missing
members. As a college lad, Richard
Korn played in the Princeton band
and though he had received‘legal
training, his friends held he was go-
ing places in music. But he joined
up as a lawyer with Dewey’s staff.
He kept on with his music, how-
ever, and became conductor of the
Alumni Orchestra of the National
Orchestral association. Now he is
back on the podium and will devote
all his time to music—at least until
another racket-busting campaign be-
comes necessary.

The old belief that- beauty and
brains are not companions was
knocked into a cocked hat during
the last week when under the super-
vision of Paul H. Hornbeck, presi-
dent of the College Advisory center,
the Otis self-administration test for
mental ability was given to 20 of
the most beautiful models in the
Harry Conover agency. Their aver-
age score was 118 which Professor
Hornbeck held "very, very good,”
with one girl reaching 138 and an-
other 140. It was also discovered
that one was a Vassar graduate and
another a concert violinist. Beau-

“If I am not mistaken," she
gushed, “I have the honor of
speaking to the renowned tenor,
have I not?"
The celebrated singer felt flat-
tered and beamed upon her, and
with a nod of his head, he asked,
“Is there something I can do for
you, madam?"
"I can’t find my car," she an-
swered pleasantly. “Would you be

10 Y ‘T‘HE PUBLIC nature of advertising bene-
1 fits everyone it touches. It benefits the
public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
