And the rule works In reverse quite eften.) THOMAS MNTCH! TO APPEAR IN TWO REEL FILMS By CONSTANCE PALMER Hollywood, Calif. TOM SANTCHI, well known te movie -goers a few years age, Is te be starred by Universal in a series of twe-reel Western and Northwest Mounted Police pictures. Ne lending woman has as yet been selected. They've been having a let of hard luck filming "The Storm," the fcature production starring Heuse Peters. When things start te go wrong en a picture, the property man told me, they just naturally nre hoodooed till the last scene Is shot. Nothing can make things right. Levely little Virginia Vnlll Is Mr. Peters' leading woman, Matt Moere Is nlse in the cast. I went out te see Miss Vnlll the ether night when they were working en some forest-Arc scenes, which are In tended te give the picture Its punch. Fifty big pines hed been hauled thnt many miles, and 6et up en a hill near the Universal lake I told you about. They were saturated with kerosene and ether Inflammable renterinl, sixteen camefnH were set up nnd the word given te sheet. The story has it thnt Mr. Peters snves Mr. Moere from death In the flames. Of course Officials of a film company de net risk their expensive nctet-fl in such scenes, nnd double were employed. Perhaps It was one double and one dummy. Anyway, the double snvlng the dummy wns very badly burned before he could run out of the binding weeds. The company Imme diately took up a collection upon hear ing of his mishap, cars were offered by a half-dozen people, and offers of old by the score came from all directions. It wns henrtwnrmtng te see such sympathy nnd kindness. Little Mias Vnlll was cold nnd mis erable, but net a word of complaint come from her lips. She faced the prob ability of standing about In a biting wind until dawn, and I' envied her her patience and sweet disposition. Finally she bundled us all off home, assuring us thnt she wns perfectly all right, rind waving a cheerful geed-by. Before the car bumped nreund the corner, I caught n Inst glimpse of her huddling ever a Httle bonfire. r These nre the scenes the audience docs net sec en the screen, but something of the steadfastness of character of the players muU come te that same audi ence. It might, be .one explanation pf the immense following thnt pictures have. The sympathy of' motion picture peo ple is extended Kathlyn Williams be cause of the death of her only son last Snturdny.

Wash them well she would but soak them se the prunes could get back some of their natural moisture? Well, one did net have'time, you see. Or, if she did soak them it would be for only a little while just a dip in the surf. But, usually, it simmered down te putting prunes in a saucepan, covering with het watcrandbeilingrapidlyumil the fruit was tender. Sugar was added at some period during the cooking it didn't matter much when. As a result of this pains taking treatment, the prunes would present a pitiable pic ture indeed. Broken and mushy, there they were swimming around in a thin cloudy juice. They lacked flavor. Se, a slice of lemon or a wisp of cinnamon would be added. Still the taste would be "flat," the appearance uninviting. But After all, stewed prunes were stewed prunes what could one expect? One knew, at least, that Friend Husband at breakfast the next morning would grunt, "What! prunes again ! " and then swallow them with geed grace as if he felt prunes must serve some wholesome purpose or an Efficient Providence would net provide them.

While Junier, likely as net, weujd chirp, 'I like' em better raw." . . . This, as we say, was went te happen in the days when she stewed prunes "after a fashion." SS but new What a difference! She first washes them, then soaks in warm water te cover overnight if pos sible. In the morn ing, she cooks them shxvly in the water in which they were soaked. She knows sugar is net needed as slew cooking de velops the natural fruit sugars. But, if she adds sugar, she does it after the prunes are cooked but while still het se sugar will dissolve.
