/Tj'ILM DAILY recently made
'■T public the results of its sec
end annual poll of newspaper,
^agazine and radio motion
picture critics, to determine
'“Filmdom’s Famous Fives”
lor 1942. First place went to
Garv Cooper for his work in
“The Pride of the Yankees”
*nd to Greer Garson on the strength
•f her performance in “Mrs. Mini
ver.” Walter Pidgeon got second
•nd third in the masculine line-up,
Frederic March fourth and Monty
Wooley fifth place. Joan Fontaine
lame in second among the girls for
"Suspicion.” Bette Davis followed
ker with “Now, Voyager,” Katharine
Hepburn and Teresa Wright finish
the list
-*
Back in 1934, when Anne Shirley
was known as Dawn O’Day, she ap
peared with Ginger Rogers in a pic
ture called "Finishing School.” Now
she'll work with Ginger again, in
ANNE SHIRLEY
“The Gibson Girl,” based on the ro
mance of Charles Dana Gibson and
his wife. Anne's come along far
enough in the meantime to rate a top
sole in this picture, which will be
produced in Technicolor.
-*
Incidentally, Ginger Rogers de
serves a few laurels for following
fn Bette Davis' footsteps and letting
herself be photographed as a gawky,
■nglamorous youngster in "The Ma- |
Jor and the Minor.” Proved that,
though her face may not always be
pretty, it can't help being interest
ing. Which is more than can be said
lor some of our screen stars, who'd
he lost without makeup.

Bill Goodwin’s been hot-footing It
bom stage to stage on the Para
mount lot lately; he's playing In his
second! and third pictures simultane
ously. They’re “No Time for Love”
and “Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour”;
■ot bad for a newcomer!
-*
Three former screen stars—Sally
Eilers, Leila Hyams and Eileen
Percy—demonstrate approved first
aid methods in Metro’s new short, j
“In Which We Serve.” They’re all
qualified Red Cross teachers.
-*
In “A Night to Remember” the
sops come into their own. Director
Richard Wallace didn't have them
wear derby hats or big shoes, or be
ao dumb that the picture's stars out
smarted them; in fact, Wallace
claims that he and the writer had
bo work hard to keep the officers
from solving the crime before Brian
Aherne and Loretta Young did. High
lime the sleuths were made human!
-*
The role in the stage version of
“Lady in the Dark” that made Holly
wood producers clamor for Victor
Mature goes to Jon Hall in the movie
version of the play—he won't have
to do much but stand around and hear
the girls talk about how handsome
lie is. The leading role is Ginger
Rogers’ (she seems to bob up all
through this column!) and she’ll
have a chance to sing, dance and
act.

Budget That Meat, Serve Delicious Stews
(See Recipes Below)
Stretch That Meat!
Today most of you homemakers
find the meat situation actually test
ing your mettle.
In your trips to
the butcher’s you
may find many
cuts of meat you
haven't used of
ten in the past,
and less and less
of the cuts you
know how to use and that your fam
ily has eaten rarely. But those are
the meats available for your menus,
and thus I’m going to give you some
first aid in preparing them.
Fortunately, the cheaper cuts of
meat, along with liver and kidneys
and the other entrails not included
in the meat rationing program are
as rich in proteins and minerals as
their better known relatives. Cooked
correctly, they can become as pop
ular.
“Extend the meat’’ should become
the motto of every family for the
duration. The way to do it is to
include unrationed cuts plentifully
through the menus, use cereals and
meat extenders such as oatmeal and
bread crumbs on rationed cuts, and
substitute fowl and cheese in the
menu for steaks and chops as often
as possible.
Veal kidneys combine with beef
in this especially delightful and nu
tritious stew—and stretch that beef
to serve eight people. It’s a color
ful main dish with bright carrots
and button mushrooms:
*Boef and Kidney Slew.
(Serves 6 to g)
3 veal kidneys
1 pound beef, cut in strips
I cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced onion
1 cup cubed potatoes
1 cup sliced or button mushrooms
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Remove skin and fat from kid
neys; soak in cold, salted water
lor l hour; cover
with cold water;
bring slowly to
boiling point.
Drain; cut into
small pieces. Roll
beef strips in
flour; brown in
hot fat. Add 4
cups siock irom Kianeys ana cook
30 minutes. Add kidneys, vegeta
bles, sauce and salt. Cook 30 min
utes. Add parsley. Thicken if de
sired.
Have you done much with liver?
Therjiyou know it is a dish of distinc
tion, worthy of being served even on
special occasions:
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: Citrus fruits,
apples, Hubbard squash or acorn
squash offer bargains during the
cool crisp months. Include them
in on your menus.
What to do about those recipes
calling for whipped cream? You
can use a little of the cream off
the top of the bottle, if you chill
it well for a day or so, and chill
the bowl which you use for whip
ping . . . and the beaters too.
Some of the brands of canned
milk will also whip, if they're well
chilled, along with the bowl and
beaters.
If you’re unable to obtain
chocolate or cocoa sometimes at
Uie grocer’s, use victory type of
cookies utilizing honey, corn syr
up and the wheat flour for darker
i cakes.
Inexpensive delicacies to help
you on the slender meat-rationed
days: boiled, baked tongue with
raisin or cranberry sauce; pigs
feet; oxtail soup; hocks; brains;
tripe with broiled mushrooms.

Schooling Submariners
Submarine work is unglamorous, dangerous and hard, but
there is never any lack of volunteers to man the “pig boats”
that are giving such a grand account of themselves in the
world’s seven seas. Underseas sailors must be given highly
specialized training before they even set foot aboard a sub
marine. At the U. S. navy submarine school in New Lon
don, Conn., they are given this training. The school teaches
the men not only the operations of an underseas craft and
her weapons, but also the technique of escape from disabled
craft on the ocean floor. These photos show various phases
in the training of Uncle Sam’s underwater sailors.
Picture at top shows subma
rine students working with the
Momsen lung in the 100-foot tank
at the navy submarine school.
Guided by the rope attached to
a large cork float, the students
rise slowly from the 100-foot
level in about tivo minutes,
breathing naturally on the way
up and gradually becoming ac
customed to lessening pressure.
Right: Here you see a class in
session./ There is no inattention
in classes here, for a little thing
unlearned may mean the stu
dent's life later on.
Technique of escape from a
disabled submarine is the same
as diving up. At left an instruc
tor sees that the adjustment of
the Momsen lung on student is
correct, as the man prepares to

Finishing the Foe
In the First World war, Russian
airmen often crippled an enemy
plane by lowering a weighted
cable into its propeller. Today the
Soviet fliers frequently finish off a
damaged German ship by coming
up from behind and sawing off its
tail with the blades of their pro
peller.
