...flour and salt into basin, make a well in centre, break in eggs, stir gradually, mixing in flour from the sides, and add milk by degrees until a thick smooth batter is formed. Beat well for ten minutes, then add remainder of milk, cover, and let it stand for at least one hour in refrigerator. About half-an-hour before beef is due to be done take deep dish, put in a thin layer of dripping taken from meat tin, and while dish and dripping are getting thoroughly hot in oven beat up batter well again. Take dish and dripping...
...story of the tragic love between Tsar Alexander II and Princess Dolgoruki is told tenderly and tearfully in "Katia," the new French film at the Fine Arts. A gushing romance not entirely free from 10c novellette effects, "Katia" manages to stir up cavalier emotions in an audience hardened by Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. Despite its shallow "profundity" qui est tres francais, the dialogue sounds surprisingly convincing in the mouths of Alexander and his entourage, who achieved movie sentimentality even before the invention of celluloid.

Iowa-born and California-bred, Harriet Henders had gathered bouquets for eight years in most of Central Europe's leading opera houses, but remained almost unknown in her native U. S. A coy, roly-poly actress with fluid, round-edged top notes, she sang her part with veteran poise. She was tops in Sophies...
Grant Wood is an earthy, peaceable Iowan who manages to stir up many an artistic rumpus. His American Gothic (1930), portrait of a bleak, bald Iowa farmer and his tight-lipped daughter, at once became chief icon of the past decade's resurgent move to "paint American." His Daughters of Revolution (1932), three prim, grim, self-important matrons, scandalized the D. A. R. Lately Artist Wood has spent more time teaching and making lithographs than he has at his easel...
