Gloria Swanson Summons Italian Cook
To Prepare Lunch for Movie Director
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written for United Press
Rome King Vidor, director
of "The Big Parade" and "War
And Peace," came with his wife
and three other Americans for
lunch. Thinking they might en
joy an American menu for a
change, I summoned my wonder
ful Italian cook.
She speaks no English and my
Italian is limited to a small num
ber of words so I employ pidgin
English and pantomine, at which
I excel because of my silent pic
ture training and drawing pic
tures. Wanted Clear Soup
For a first course, I wanted a
clear soup instead of the eternal
pasta, which means any starch
dish from rice, spaghetti, noo
dles, macaroni ad infinitum.
With no English-Italian diction
ary handy, I made a stab, with
my cold cup of tea, at giving an
Imitation of someone eating soup,
rude noises and all.
She muttered something that
sounded like it should mean soup
so I went on to the second
course. I thought a leg of lamb
would be different so my own
leg was used for the demonstra
tion, pointing to the thigh and,
of course, making a sound like a
lamb or was it a goat? Her face
brightened and she pointed to a
flock of sheep in the painting
hanging on the wall. Bravo! All
is well.
I drew a beautiful picture of
asparagus.
The dessert I left to her, ex
cept to throw in the word "cioc
colato." Americans wouldn't care
what it was as long as it was
that flavor or had chocolate on
it. -
Well, I don't have the slight
est notion why pasta replaced
the soup course, I refused to
believe the fault lay in my act
ing. But it did and there it was!
Leg of Lamb Plural
The leg of lamb turned out to
the plural legs of lamb. Unlike
the U.S. and Texas, everything
here is smaller rather than
larger and a lamb's leg would
only serve one person. I must
say that after the shock of look
ing at a platter with 12 to 16
hunks of mostly bones, I happily
discovered that the meat around
them was extremely tender and
succulent.
At the end of our very Italian
meal, I asked King Vidor if he
was pleased with the results of
"War and Peace." He spoke a
mouthful by saying: .
"It will, I believe, be one of
the greatest movies ever made."
Bison Is the true name of the
buffalo. It comes from an old
German word, wisent, a first
cousin of our buffalo in Europe.
The true buffalo is a native
of India where he was domesti
cated, and of Africa, where it is
considered by many the most
dangerous of wild game.

The longest kiss in the history
of New York stage was the one
Olga Nethefsole planted on the
lips of her leading fnan in . the
play "Sappho." That kiss lasted
one a half minutes. The average
kiss among loving couples lasts
only about ten seconds. To get
an idea of the celebrated "Neth
ersole Kiss," why. not give your
wife a kiss and hold it for a
minute and a half by your
watch?
Moihers-in-Law
' How do you address your
mother in law? Better call her
"mother," In a recent divorce
case, a husband named as one
of grounds for divorce that his
wife stubbornly refused to call
her mother in law, "mother," but
addressed her as "Mrs."
Horses and Women
There continues to. be a great
difference of opinion among our
countrywomen as to the pleas
ure, or lack of it, of being kissed
by a man with a moustache. In
this connection let it be said for
the record, that it was none
other than that great expert on
the subject of love, Sarah Bern
hardt,, who observed, "unbaiser
donne par'un homme sans mous
tache a le gout d'une soup sans
sel." .
Guide io Guys
Aries (March 21-April 20) men
are susceptible to flattery but
it must be subtle. They like the
maternal in women. As execu
tives they are inclined to be
critical and exacting. The way
for a secretary to handle an
Aries boss is to make him think
she thinks he is wonderful; to
express in maternal fashion con
cern as to his health and greet
his criticisms and demands for
perfection with a sweet smile
of resignation. Or, so say the
stargazers.
Health Hint
How do you like sauerkraut?
Can't say I am much of a sauer
kraut enthusiast. However I
know it is very good for the
health. It has been referred to
by dieticians as "the vacuum
cleaner of the stomach." Sauer
kraut did not originate in Ger
many but in China. Was used
by the Chinese to furnish the
vitamins that are lacking in a
rice diet..
Are you a card player? Do
you consider yourself an observ
ant fellow? If so, tell us how
many of the kings in a pack of
cards have mustaches. . . As for a
fellow named in honor of Frank
Merriwell, there is Frank Mer
riwell Decker of Union City,
N.J. Decker's father was an avid
Merriwell fan. . . Describing the
lion as "king of the beasts" or
"monarch of the jungle" is er
roneous. A lion is not as smart
as a tiger or brave as a leopard.
Young Brides
An interesting angle to the
matrimonial career of Charles
Chaplin is that all of his wives
were teen-agers when he mar
ried them Paulette Goddard, the
third Mrs. Chaplin, was the old
est of the four brides. She was
19. Mildred Harris and Lita Grey
were both 16, Oona O'Neill was
18.
Please Note
Did you know bananas are
grown in Iceland? It's a fact.
They are grown in glass cov
ered houses with heat supplied
by hot springs. Iceland is a mis
leading name for the country
that bears it. It is colder in New
York City in January than in
Iceland.
Potatoes are not very fatten
ing. There are about 29 calories
in an ounce of potatoes. In an
ounce of butter there are 219
calories. It is the butter people
put on potatoes that makes them
fattening. . . . Heavyweights can
not hope for a long life. That's
what the longevity experts are
always saying. An exception was
General Winfield Scott who was
6 feet 5 and weighed 310. He
lived to be 80.
Facts
All long distance trains on
Italian railways have film thea
ter cars attached. Wonder what
railroad in this country will be
the first to add that addition
to their service? ... Portland
Hoffa (Mrs. Fred Allen) is named
after 'Portland, Me., and not
Portland, Ore., as is frequently
alleged.
The kangaroo family has more
than 50 members, says the Na
tional Geographic Society. Some
are called' by other names
wallaroo, wallaby, euro, and pa
demelon. They range from the
foot-long musky-rat kangaroo to
seven-foot red and great grays.
