During Week, For School Installed
Report Shows
Women throughout the communitj
are planning to attend the friendly
class for home-makers, the Motion
Picture Cooking School, scheduled
to open at the Joy Theatre, Thurs
day, June 2.
A welcome invitation ‘to the wise
is sufficient, and the only invitation
needed for this novel cooking school
is that extended to every woman by
The Eagle and Joy Theatre. There
Is no charge to see any of the show
ings of “Star in My Kitchen”.
Because this paper stands ready
to sponsor all progressive develop
ments, particularly when they affect
tne homes of the community, it is
presenting this motion picture ro
mance of home-making entirely free.
“If I could only see exactly how
she fixes and handles her pie-crust.”
That comment has been heard
from beginners and from more ex
perienced cooks at many cooking
schools. Craning necks and anxious
eyes, trained on the stage from the
sides and back of the demonstration
hall, have failed to catch all of the
important steps in pastry-making
and other culinary arts. Only the
early birds in the very front row
had a close-up of the stage in the
past, and even they couldn’t peer
directly into the mixing bowl.
Now the wizardry of the camera
has solved the problem, making it
possible for every person in the Joy
Theatre to share -each fascinating
rtage of the planning, measuring,
blending, and baking in practical,
up-to-tjie minute kitchens.
Keeping pace with the baking
toasting and frying, a series of sal-
Is and frozen delicacies will par-’d"
in and out of the adaptable elec
tric refrigerator, which will reveal
its host of possibilities for simplify
ing labor and marketing, and contri
buting to good health and good food
What to do with left-overs? How
to take the gloom out of laundrj
day?
How to save time, energy
and temper in meal preparation?
How to be attractive in spite of the
daily rush? How to make the pie
crust that men love to eat? How to
give first-aid to fallen cakes?
It won’t be necessary to ask the
questions, for expert home specia
lists have anticipated these very
problems. They know what bothers
many an experi:nced housekeeper,
because it is their job to know and
to counsel' helpfully.
Fun, novelty and entertainment
are joined throughout the feature
picture, for it is always fair weather
when neighborly cooks get together.
Home-making has a universal ap
peal, and every woman is eager to
learn the newest news of her craft.
Cooking, romance, modern kitch
ens, and clever actors and actresses
do not tell the complete story of
this 1938-model cooking school. The
picure is a whole laboratory of mod
ern ideas and wise council, touching
on latest developments in home
equipment and accessories, includ
ing laundry methods, ways to pre
pare left-overs, beauty secrets, hin.s
