Frances Homer, DelmarlRoos To Act
"Matinee To-Day"At Woman'sClub
"Matinee To-Day", a p rug ram of
one-act plays written by Frances
Horner as an acting vehicle for her
self and her daughter Delmar
Rons, will be pretiented to the Wo-
man's Club at their December
luncheon, December 7 at 12:30 p.
m.
Heretofore Frances Homer has
appeared in the lecture and concert
field as a diaeuse. She is recogniz-
ed not only for her exceptional
ability in dramatic interpretation
but also for her cleverness in writ-
ing all the sketches she uses. For
the past decade she has toured the
United States from coast to coast,
appearing also in Canada and
England. Before she began writ-
ing her own sketches she was in
the legitimate theatre. She is mar-
ried to the American automotive
engineer Delmar G. Roos. They
have one daughter, Delmar.
Since babyhood the little girl
has dramatized her play. When her
parents would eavesdrop her fath-
er would say: "She's as fine an
actress as her mother. Better start,
writing sketches for her!"
Finally Miss Homer wrote a
play in which the child could ap-
pear with her. 11, was based on an
incident in the childhood of Eliza-
beth of England. Delmar gave such
a delightful performance of the
little Princess that her parents
ueiv persuaded to let her appear
occasionally with her artist moth-
er.
Noel Coward calls his group of
one-act plays, "To-night At 8:H8".
Probably this suggested the title
for Miss Homer's group, "Matinee
To-Day".
This Mother and Daughter team
is unique in their field. In the
theatre there are several. Best-
known, of course was Helen Hayes
and her daughter, Mary McAr-
thur.

Non-Fattening
Spaghetti Late
Hollywood Fad
By VIRGINIA MacPHHERSON
United Press Hollywood
Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 1 (U.R)—
Movie queens with a yen for Ital-
ian delicacies have latched onto
Hollywood's newest fad—"non-fat-
tening spaghetti."
They've discovered a restaurant
in the sprawling town and country
market where they can lap up long
ropefuls of the forbidden stuff and
still keep those trim curves.
And the little lady who serves it
up is a walking plug for her spec-
ialty. She is Yolanda, an Italian
charmer whose svelte shape makes
it hard to believe she's the mother
of three grown kids, one of 'em
a full-fledged jet pilot.
She doesn't look like she's been
guzzling spaghetti all her life. But
she has.
"This non-fattening kind," she
chuckled. "It's not new. Only to
this country. Back home we call it
buitoni."
How it keeps the bulges off is
sort of a secret process, according
to Yolanda. But it's got the starch
squeezed out and a whole flock of
proteins and wheat germs shot in
for free.
Well, not exactly for free. To be
low in calories, Yolanda says, it
has to be high in price. Almost
three times as high as the fatten-
ing kind.
"But it's worth it, to the ladies
who have to keep their figures,1
she shrugged. "Even Greta Garbo
loves it.
"She came in one day with Gaye
lord Hauser and had spaghetti—
with no sauce—and salad—with
no dressing. She didn't act very
happy with it.
"A rfew days later she came back
—without Hauser. This time she
ordered everything . . . sauce and
dressing and lots of spaghetti."
Jeanne Crain likes it piled high,
too. And so do most of the glamour
gals who do their shopping in the
exclxusive market.
"And the men ..." Yolanda
grinned. "They're interested in
jtheir waistlines, too. Clifton Webb
' was in this noon. Name any movie
star you want to . . . man "or
woman . . . and I've fed them my
'non-fattening' spaghetti."

This year wood finishes will

mahogany will be somewhat light-
er except for the currently popular
Cordovan which, though dark, re-
veals the natural grain of this lov-
ly wood.
CARD OF THANKS
With a grateful heart I want to
say "Thank you," my friends and
relatives for all your expressions
of love during the illness and pass-
ing of my husband. To all whose
loving hands prepared the food
and the beautiful flowers so lov-
ingly given, and to the doctors
and nurses for their untiring ef-
fors in ministering to his comfort.
May God's richest blessings be
abundantly given to each of you
is my prayer.
Humbly,
Mrs. M. M. Hamil'
Perhaps this is the year to con-
centrate on the dining rooom with
the addition of handsome uphol-
stered host and double hostess
chairs which will double gracefully
in the living room when neces-
sary. Christmas may be the time
the family gift fund can afford the
much needed new buffet or dining
table.
"ALL HE WANTS . . ."—If
Santa Claus will just bring Paul
Cecil, of Cincinnati, Ohio, a cou-
ple of new front teeth, it will
complete his happiness. He's
pretty happy now because loss
of the teeth and a couple •£
bruises were the only injuries
he suffered when he jumped out
from behind a parked car and
wa? struck down by passing auto.

WE'LL put it up to you! There must be plenty
of good reasons why more people buy
Chevrolcts than any other car.
Here arc some things to think about.
There's the way Chevrolet look*. Nice clean,
curved lines—like cars in the high-price field!
Chevrolet's Body by Fisher sets the pace
among low-priced cars.
There's the way Chevrolet rides and handles.
TSe smoothness and big-car comfort of Uni-
tized Knee-Action. Bigger brakes—biggest in the
field—for safer, surer stops. Finest no-shift and
standard driving at lowest cost with Power-
glide or Synchro-Mesh transmission.
There's the way Chevrolet saves. Chevrolet
is the lowest-priced line in the field and the
savings go on and on with low operating costs.
There are plenty maro reasons why Chev-
rolet is America's favorite. Come in and let
us show them to you.
