Now Don't Forget, Gustav; Eat With But Three Fingers
Hollywood-(UP)—Movies may be boring, but by gosh they're authentic. They've dug up the 17th century code of etiquette to teach to actors who eat with their fingers.
When you eat with your fingers, it's only correct to use three of them. Who would care if a guy used four, we don't know. There aren't many high-class finger-eaters around<sup>$\textcircled{4}$</sup>.
Director George Sidney held a daily half-hour session with them during filming of "The Three Musketeers."
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer found the rules in the 17th century etiquette books, complete with printed illustrations on how to chew a chunk of beef. It gleefully called a school into session to teach its actors—Gene Kelly, Van Heflin, Vincent Price and Frank Morgan—to eat with their hands.
Society frowned on the count from the country who wiped the egg out of the shell with his fingers or licked it clean with his tongue. The ladies of the court held the shell daintily and scraped it with bread.
"When food was lifted from the serving dish to the plate," Sidney told them, "it had to be done with three fingers only. You use one hand, only, in taking the meat from the plate to the mouth."
*Currants in rose water. Egg soup with lemon broth. Cocks' combs. Boiled chicken. Boiled veal. Chickens roasted and then fried in bread crumbs. Jelly. Sugar horn filled with apricots. Sugared chestnuts in rose water. Preserved cherries.*
A gentleman, in 1625, never pressed butter onto bread with his thumb. He used a crust as a spreader instead.
"The only thing missing." said Sidney, "was a good dose of bicarbonate of soda."
Police Chief Fakes 'Fire' To Get Search Party
Grenville. Mich. —(UP)—Police Chief Jerry Sage knows how to round up a posse in a hurry.
When a two-year-old boy was lost and he needed a large searching party, Sage pulled the fire siren, directed the driver to drive the truck a few blocks and attracted hundreds of motorists to "the fire." He got 500 persons together and the child was found in the woods as dusk was descending.
