Do Not Dice Rhubarh Say Culinary Experts Liverpool, Aug. 9 (P—Rhubarb “fool” 1s one of the many dishes British culinary experts are mending to housewives who want to make rhubarb “interesting.” This dish is made by serving stewed rhubarb with custard or by putting rusks into a serving dish and pouring the stewed rhubarb over them. The English domestic science experts say that rhubarb should not be cut into small bits and stened in a lot of water. It should be left in plecces just as long as it will lie flat in a stew pan, and only enough water should be poured in- to the pah to cover the bottom, they advise. Sugar <hould be addad. Then the stew pan should be covered +nd rhubarh allowed to cook slowly. By this method own juice. Send your messages to the home ~Herald classified ad department.

(. M. COHAN DRAMA ‘The Song and Dance Man’ Being Presented (By Herald Reviewer) “The Song and Dance Man," one George M. Cohan’s American | dramas, is the offering of the Poli Players in Hartford this week and while the individual members of the cast headed by Walter Scott Weeks, Vincent Coleman and Robert Perry in the principal talking roles did | well, the drana itself is a bit under the usual Cohan standdrd. In brief its theme is “once an actor, always an actor” and the main plot seems to be to prove that a person who has been on the stage finds it im- possible 1o quit the footlights. “The Song and Dance Man" gets | slow start and | drags somewhat all the way through, | at times giving a sort of “much ado about nothing” atmosphere. There 18 genuine comedy in the dialogue be- tween Bernard Steele, in the role of a police officer, and nces Wi liams as a wisecracking theatr boarding house keeper. Mr., has the role of a wealth artist who seeks to aid his fellow nien, and Mr. Weeks' is a theatrical producer with the same ambition. Miss Ann Merrick is a struggling young actress aided on the road to success by the aforementioned two and Mr. Coleman is her friend and even dares prison to help her. The romantic theme is somewhat cloud- ed since the show starts strongly with the latter much enamored of Miss Merrick, shifts to her engage- ment to Perry and in the end stops | of 1st who has captured the little lady’s heart. Others in the cast in- clude Patsy Ann O'Neal in a minor mother role, Adrienne Earle whose “Yes sir,” repeated Harry Fischer in a | dialogue and John | Ray in minor | several times, breezy bit of rts. The play is not uninteresting and was enjoyed by a large Monday night audience but the vehicle itself is not on a par with the regular Cohan plays.
