Good Manners

 

Sometimes it happens that per-
..sona who are on bad term: with
one another meet socially at a
mutual acquaintance’s house. It
goes almost without saying that
they are bound by every rule or
good manacra to permituo sign
of ill-teeling between them to ap—
pear in their behavior. They
needn't "such" but they will make
at least a. pretense of ordinarily
civil relationship.

 

 

 

 

Veal Chops Stuffed

BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
0! Columbia University

For stuffed veal chops take: ’

Six extra. thick veal chops. cut
from ribs. two cups soft breadcrumbs.
two tablespoons finely chopped onion.
two tablespoons bacon fat, one-half
teaspoon salt. one~eighth teaspoon
thyme. one teaspoon paprika and
one-fourth cup tomato juice.

 

, .7 WWlpe thcchops and. lethiavaharp-

knife. cut through the» thick part to
the bone. Lay open, sprinkle with
salt, and stuff.

In making the stuffing cook the
onion in the bacon fat. add crumbs
and seasonings and cook five min-
utes. Add tomato juice and cook
until. smooth.

After the chops are stuffed place
them in a. hot frying pan. in two to.—
blespoons of bacon fat, oil or butter.
and cook until well browned on both
sides. Add to the pan one cup of
tomatoes. one cup water. a. little au-
gar. salt and pepper and cook, close-
ly covered, for an hour.

The veal will be thoroughly done
and well flavored. and there will be
a. small amount of gravy to serve
with the chops.

SAMBO’S SONGS.

A church hymn deallng with war is
awaeping into popularlty~in southern
negro churches. Maybe it's an old
one, born after the Civil War and now
resurrected after a. long sleep. Any-
way, it's timely. And negro congrega-
tions are singing (or chanting) it with
such vehemenco and enthusiasm that
it‘s obvioua there's one element of the
world's population that's "fed up” on
war, regardless of what Europe may
be thinking and doing”

The hymn sounds like this:

I‘m gonna. lay down mah wax tools,
down by dc ribher side,
Down by do ribbcr side, down by de
ribber side.
I'm gonna lay down mall war tools.
down by dc ribber side.
Ain’t a-gonna study war no more.
CHORUS:
Study war no mo‘,
1110';
Study war no mo,’ study war no mo',
study—study war no' 1110'.
Too bad, we cannot got Europe
singing this hymn.

 

 

study war no

Ntfll‘o music, with its seductive
rhythm and none-such melody, stands
out unique among all other music. It

rLtlccts the primeval spirit of the
Jungle. V

The white man, beginning shortly
before the war, sank to the jungle

state. Probably that is why the white

man has been almost deliriousiy ob-

sessed by jungle-jazz.

Some authorities .tell you that jazz

is a. comparatively new creation, ori-

ginated in Buenos Aires and New

Oflcans some 10 years ago. .zut for

100 per cent jazz, consider this old-

time negro slave song:

Old guinea. niggah. wid a. head full
0' knowledge,

Redder go to free school dan any
othah college:

Little chunk ash cake.

fat, an' ‘

De w'lte folks grudge 'im ef he

enough 0' dat.

little piece

Old Jonah, lak er fool. got stubborn
as a. mule,

So de who-ale made 'im disappeah;

Jonah swope 'is razor out, out de
whale in two,

An' he floated into shore on his ear.

Before it is too late. some one
should collect and publish for posterity
the best of the negro folk—lore songs.
And while we're on the subject, the
psychological condition or a. nation is
always reflected in the songs its people
are singing. Sobeting tip from the
war. we are getting away from 3. jun-

' gle state of mind, so jazz is fading: out
. of popularity.

While the future may be“ a sealed

' book, you can get advance information

on the “national drift” by watching
the kind or music that comes to re-
place jazz. We may be in for another
wave of religious revival. Watch the
whys. They'll tell you. ' . '

PAULINE GABON AND ELLIOTT

BY JAMES “E DEAN

The lights in the projection room
went out and the npcrator started
the projection of “Adam's Rib.“ The
battle of wits between Jeanie Mac-
I’hcrson and mysolf was on.

Miss Macl‘hcrson
of this latest Cocil DcMille film. She
dared to come to the projection room
while I reviewed it and to give an-
swer to every discrepancy which I
might point out.

For the first time I had come to
mental grips with an author in the
very shadow of the screen. as one
might say. For the first time. she
faced a critical boast in his den.

C t I

\Yoil' the picture unrcclod. 7t is a.
defense of the modern girl. on an-
swer to “llalis‘muuhlur.” The flapper
daughter savcs the moiher from ‘ a
silly affair with a dvlhroned king.
Sho horsell‘ falls in Iovw with a pro-
saic old anthropologist. In one se-
qumxce all the characters are st as
primitive Iwople. showing that sex
triangles have existed for centuries.

Our» dialogue never arose above
platitudes. “Clever subtitle thorn.
Miss Mm'l‘hr-rson.” “Glad you li‘wd
it; thouulat you wouldn't." "Mighty
fine sly-mu of humor in this
quonco." "Yes. And don't. you think
Milton Sills is very good?" "Yes. he's

(‘11..

good. .\7lll so'o Rosie“ and Dexter.
And Pauline Caron walks right
away with some scenes."

'i‘hnl's tho way it ran. Not a. Word
of acrimony \var uttered. Not a shot

was hoard and tho first thing we
know “it: picture was Cllllt‘l]. t‘iut
this Was to have been :1. debniw. a
battle. if you will. between fillllll‘ll‘

and critic. Obviously it was up to mo
to start liosillitior. .

“\Vhy do you have that flashvlnwk
to the. some in which the hint; is do-
thronoli'P" l demanded. "It has no
boating on the story and only makes

ly bears on the story. One flash-
.buck in a. picture seems sufficient to
me."

”We had to show that this‘man
really had been a. king,” Miss Mac-
Pherson answered. “We couldn't
just show him in evening clothes and
lag him 'King.‘ If there's a. king
in a story. Mary Jones who spends
her day in the kitchen wants to see
him as a king. In evening clothes
he appears no. more romantic than
any other man." .

“I noticed in the titles that some
words were capitalized. Thus YOUTH
and EXPERIENCE flow of! the
screen and hit me in the eye. Do
you think it's necessary to capitalize
words in titles?” I asked her.

"Yes. it is." Miss Macl’herson an-
swered. “0n the stage lines are
spoken and ambiguity of meaning is
obviated by emphasis on certain
Words. The onlywvnv we can obvi—
uto ambiguity in titles is to (mpha-
size words by capitalizing them or
underlining them. .I capitalize them.
but in this case I think the capitals
are too large."

For illustration of her point. Miss
Mncr’horson gave the sontcnce. "I!
you look around the room. you may
sue him." By capitalizing different
words vnrving shades of meaning re-

sult. Try it and see.

Relaly, thore wasn't much basis for
a. wrnugh between Miss Mae‘MWrson
and myself. “Adam's Rib" is an un-
usual story given unique treatment. 1
think it as Cecil DeMiilc's has? pic-
ture. “Mclv and Female" is ll” My
picture he ever made in which a. liner
slraln of. humor was evident. That
picture was also notable for cvcellent
