Screenland (Jun-Oct 1932)

for August 1932 95 The Gleasons Ranch Picnic Continued from page 1 1 Jimmy should take care of in town, he will put it off and off, explaining that he will have to be leaving for New York to make "Madison Square Garden" soon and he ought to enjoy the outdoor life of the ranch as much as possible. An added feature of the ranch life is that it would cost $500 to install a telephone at the ranch, so none has been installed, which means a form of release to telephone-harried people. Audrey Scott, famous horsewoman and film performer, is Gleason's partner in the ranch venture. They hope to make the ranch a profitable undertaking by opening their pasture lands and stables to owners of horses who do not have the facilities themselves. The chocolate cake that won as many converts as the ranch view is prepared by Mrs. Gleason as follows : J4 cup shortening 2 squares chocolate Yz cup milk y2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 eggs 54 cup sugar \y2 cups flour Cream shortening with sugar. Add melted chocolate, beaten eggs, milk, and flour sifted with baking powder and salt. Bake in two layers in a moderate oven for forty minutes. For frosting and filling, melt 3 squares of unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler. Add cups of condensed milk. Stir over boiling water five minutes until it thickens. Add one tablespoon water. Cool cake before spreading on icing. If a bitter-sweet icing is desired, use four squares of chocolate. Mrs. Gleason suggests, as a variation in the chocolate icing, adding three drops of peppermint oil instead of the one tablespoon of water. For the cocoanut cream cake, Mrs. Glea son uses this old, time-tried recipe : 2 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder % cup butter or other shortening 1 cup sugar 3 eggs, well beaten 6 tablespoons milk Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour, alternating with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Bake in a greased tin in a moderate oven about 25 or 30 minutes. For the frosting, stir together J/ cup condensed milk and 1 cup shredded or moist cocoanut. Add gradually 2Y2 cups confectioner's sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy. Allow cake to cool before adding frosting. Sprinkle heavily with cocoanut. When two cakes of this type are used for a picnic, the rest of the menu can be reduced to an extremely simple one, Mrs. Gleason explains. Chocolate and cocoanut are both nourishing, and to balance the lunch all that is required are extremely thin butter sandwiches of wholewheat, Russian rye, and French bread, served with finely cut-up vegetable salad, coffee and lemonade. Another dessert which has never failed to be popular at picnic parties, Mrs. Gleason has found, uses day-old white bread as its foundation. Cut slices of bread % inches thick. Trim off crusts and cut each slice into strips Y\ inches wide by 2 inches long. Spread strips on all sides with cream or condensed milk and roll in dry shredded cocoanut, broken fine. Place in pan and brown carefully under low gas flame, or toast on a fork over coals. "These little cakes can be made over a campfire individually as desired and are perfectly delicious, either warm or cold." You-all Know Her, Suah 'Nough! Continued from page 68 Una met Jean Harlow for the first time on the "Red-Headed Woman" set and thinks she is so nice and sweet, and not anything like the nasty, horrid parts she has to play. Una, herself, is a cute blonde, hailing originally from Covington, Kentucky. She still retains just enough of her southern accent to be tantalizing. She is very natural and easy to get along with. "I can't understand why people insist upon considering us picture people as different. We have to live our lives just as anyone else. Acting is a job like any other. Una is very fortunate in that she is can boast Her own among the Hollywoodians who a happy and congenial home, mother and father were married very young and she has grown up with them on a companionship basis. She and her new husband, Ronald Burla, live with her parents, and feel it their duty to look after their every care and want. Young Burla is the son of the former Senator Burla of Montana. Although he is an aeronautical engineer by profession, he seems to find the yacht brokerage business more fascinating for the time being. However, he seems to have the Una Merkel situation well in hand. Ringing the Bellamy than it is at present. He wants to be in on all this progression and take an active part in it. Just at present he is trying to convince Fox that the book "The Informer" would make a corking picture if properly handled. Also he sees the possibilities in a picture dealing with the life of Clarence Darrow, whom he knows personally. Ralph married the delightful New York stage actress, Catherine Willard, last July. Continued from page 61 She is not in pictures herself but is just now considering returning for a stage production in New York next fall. As they are finding life in Hollywood so interesting Catherine might have some difficulty in making up her mind — especially as it would in all probability mean leaving her fond husband to ward off the dangers of Hollywood alone. At all events Hollywood would miss either of them should they decide to leave.
