Curried Beef Appeases Hunger,
Says Houston Theatre Director
Nina Vance
N'in.i Vance, one
of America's
outstanding
theatre women,
says her favor-
ite beef dish is
"Hen^al rurry
of beef, a hearty-
one for hungry
actors."
Founder and
director of the
Alley Theatre
line years ago, following study at
Texas Christian I'niversity and
:he American Academy of Dra-
matic Arts, Mrs. Vance knows
what ravenous appetites actors
have when they finally take time
out from script study, rehearsals
and performances to eat. Actors
are notorious for unlimited capac-
ities and Mrs. Vance's favorite
recipe is a good "filler," especially
on opening nights when the cast
has been too jittery before the
performance to eat.
Work with her Alley Theatre,
which is famous throughout the
United Stales, has brought her in
contact with such famous actors
and actresses as Spring Byington,
Joseph Talleia, Erin O'Brien-
M oore, Albert Dekker anil Fay
Kainter, some of whom have been
delighted to give her one or two
of their favorite recipes. Mrs.
Vance is known for her courage
and ambition for Houston theatre
in introducing works which chal-
lenge these famous theatre per-
bonal'ties on her arena stage.
A native Texan from Yoakum
who knows good beef when she
eats it. Mrs. Vance was chosen as
rhe only theatrical personality to
be • atured in Charm Magazine
recent'v on famous career women.
The magazine compares her
struggle in Houston to bring good
theatre to audiences to that of any
wildcat driller. Each play has been
a gamble on a gusher or a dry
' well, and Houston response ha*
. proved she is successful.
| The famous career woman says
that her favorite beef dish to ap-
pease after-the-opening appetites
| can be prepared ahead of eating
I time. In fact, she prefers to make
| it the morning before a perform-
j ance and refrigerate it until time
! to leave for the theatre. This gives
; flavors time to blend. By remov-
ing the dish from refrigerator just
before the performance begins, it
has several hours to warm to room
temperature.
BENGAL CURRY OF BEEF
1 pound top round or sirloin,
cubed
2 tablespoons fat
% tin tomato paste
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Vt teaspoon mustard seed
1 small piece cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon curry powder
(light or heaping as your
taste dictates; but don't
overdo it)
teaspoon thyme
teaspoon paprika
salt to taste
water
white wine
Saute onion, garlic, mustard
seed and cinnamon in fat; add
beef, curry powder, paprika and
thyme. Brown about 10 minutes,
.stirrinp occasionally. Scrape
brown from pan; add tomato paste
and salt. Cover with white wine
and water (half and half) and
simmer until meat is just tender
I —about 20 minutes. Correct sea-
| sonings an<l transfer to casserole
j and refrigerate.
Serve with saffron rice and the
usual condiments—shredded fresh
] cocoanut. peanuts, raisins, chut-
ney, hard-boiled eggs. While the
rice is cooking, re-heat curry in
: hot oven (425 degrees) about 20
1 minutes. Serves 4.

Quick meals taken at a luncheonette or snack bar are common
occurrences in most of our daily lives. Despite the fast tempo
of modern day living, everyone still enjoys a relaxing meal in the
pleasant atmosphere of home. In contrast to a meal-on-thc-run,
the restful repast in a refined setting encourages sociability and
easy digestion of food.
f MEALTIME MOODS
Have you ever thought
how much a handsome table
setting influences your ap-
petite? Even before the
food is set before you,
you're in a receptive mood
if the table linens and din-
ner service are spotlessly
clean and attractive. Who
knows? t'le right atmos-
phere may well make the
food taste better, too. It is
up to the woman who plays
daily hoste.-s to her family
to establish a pleasant and
therefore healthy environ-
ment each mealtime. She
will set the scene by using
a tablecloth that comple-
ments her dinnerware. Per-
haps it will be a crocheted cloth she has enjoyed making herself
for her family's pleasure. A crocheted tablecloth makes any setting
seem more elegant and makes the family feel more important.
LINEN AND CROCHETED LACE
\ou can be proud of your table's manner when it is spread
with a lovely cloth of linen and lace. Simple enough for daily
dining, yet handsome enough for a bridal buffet, this tablecloth
reflects constant good taste. Make it viny size you wish—for ban-
quet, luncheon or dinner table—by joining together the desired
number of linen and crocheted squares. Each linen piece is hemmed
and stitched to an equal square of cotton crocheted motifs, forming
a delicate, checkerboard design. The directions for making this
table top beauty may be obtained by writing to the Needlework
Dept. of this paper. Simpl> send a stamped, self-addressed envelop®
with your request for PRIMROSE PATCH, Leaflet No. S-S58.
