Mark the days on your calen-' ‘dar because every woman—and | man—in the community is hereby jextended a cordial invitation to see, absolutely free, this fascinat- ing picture which weaves helpful, | intelligent lessons on cooking and |home-making into a humorous {and romantic plot. | The Motion Picture Cooking School is a brand new idea. First \conceived last year, it has met jwith acclaim from women | throughout the country, who like the happy combination of spark- ling entertainment and close-up jcooking instruction. Seats in the ; back row are as good as those in the front row—the motion pic- ture permits everyone to hear | and see every trick in frosting a cake, making a pie, or cooking | bananas. “Star In My Kitchen” was pro- | duced in Hollywood, and the | ‘audience will recognize many Of | the rising young actors and ac- | tresses who take part in it.
