MASS. 92 wrote, and had no longer any desire to be in pictures. But suddenly she and Thompson arrived in Hollywood. The call of the cinema had been too strong for Viola. She, like so many, many others, having tasted the fruits of success and stardom, having once smelled greasepaint and felt the hot white glow of the spotlight, could resist it no longer. For a while they had a bad time in Hollywood. Thompson found that the professional positions at the golf clubs were pretty well filled. Viola tried to get back in pictures and discovered that it was the same old heart-breaking task. But she was happier in Hollywood than in Colorado Springs — despite her cheerful letters. Thompson at last found work at a Long Beach golf club. Viola has done a little work in Columbia shorts and she is just as ambitious as she ever was. She goes to previews with her old friends and as she watches the new pictures unfold before her she says, "I can't understand why I don't get a good part. I know I could do as well as that girl !" The funny part about it is that she could ! They are never completely happy — these women who have had stardom and lost it. But Viola is as happy as can be expected. She and Thompson lead a quiet enough life. She has not forgotten the domesticity she learned to like in Colorado Springs. She works occasionally. In small pictures, to be sure, but still, in pictures. She is at least breathing the same air she breathed when she was a great star ! Modern Hostess (Continued from page 76) dinner for men guests only, we always see that they are served some unusual, flavorful and substantial "made" meat dish. WE tell you all this in order that you may appreciate how interested we were to hear Mrs. Richard Arlen (Jobyna Ralston) say that her husband would rather have a good rich stew for dinner than the tenderest filet mignon in the world. "In fact," she went on to say, "Dick claims that a good stew is a svmphony in foods." "He's right," we agreed. "A clever cook puts together a stew in something the same way that a composer puts together the notes for the various instruments of an orchestra. And just at this moment, what this country needs is more symphonies in food and fewer sob ballads ! I'd mortgage my future for a few good new recipes for so-called 'made' meat dishes right this minute!" "Goodness, you really don't have to do that," smiled Jobyna Arlen. "I'd be delighted to give you some of my recipes for concoctions which Dick thinks are particularly appetizing." Things can happen to one, just like that ! Here one goes along for weeks wondering where to go in all Hollywood with any hope of getting some really sound information about turning everyday, ordinary, inexpensive _ meats into something delicious and exciting— and then, just by chance, you meet Mrs. Arlen. And there she sits, looking so pretty that you'd think she couldn't possibly know anything more helpful in a culinary line than how to serve humming bird's tongues, and before you know it you are having a whole series of super-elegant recipes dropped right in your lap. Right then and there, I can assure you, Mrs. Arlen and your humble food newshound sat down in a corner — and out came our ubiquitous note book. . "If you want the recipe for Dick s most particular favorite first, I'll start off with Beef Stew," Jobyna began. "In our house it's sort of a cross between a beef stew and chili con came, retaining, in our estimation, the best features of each. First you cut a couple of pounds of chuck steak into cubes. . . ." But there. You might have some trouble unravelling the recipe if we gave it to you just as Mrs. Arlen told it to us, so instead we are going to give it to you in the nice, tidy form in which it emerged from our testing kitchen. We suggest that you cut out this recipe, paste it on a filing card and keep it forever and ever. We are sure you will want to, once you've used it. BEEF STEW WITH NOODLES 2 pounds chuck steak, cut in cubes Suet 3 stalks celery 2 medium sized onions 2 sprigs parsley \y2 cups diced carrots 1 cup diced yellow turnip 1 green pepper, diced 4 tablespoons chili sauce 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet 2 teaspoons salt 1 bay leaf % teaspoon pepper Cooked noodles 1 can red kidney beans Roll the meat in flour. Try out the suet (beef fat) until you have 3 to 4 tablespoons in the pan. (To try out suet, cut into small pieces, put it in the pan, turn the flame low under it, cover and let simmer slowly, stirring occasionally.) Remove all solid pieces of fat. Add the meat to the liquid fat in the pan and brown well on all sides. Cover with boiling water. Add celery cut in small pieces, onions sliced, and minced parsley. Cover and simmer for one hour. Then add all remaining ingredients except the kidney beans and
