While Die bride may see just What she lets her self in for. if she is ignorant oT the art of frooking, which after marriage suddenly looms . up wit h such impor tance, while before hand, during the romantic days of count- hip, it may have been a negligent mii'tn', here Is also much that the older house keeper may 'learn. In fact the picture is more or less an-'.-inspiration to all-age groups. If you are very young and are on the eve of falling seriously in love, the pic ture is bouiid to make you realize how essential the ."-'crafts of home making are to the practical side of life, which is bound to begin with marriage. If you have been a home maker for a few or several, or many years, the picture is a challenge to keep your methods or doing tnings up iu date, and to organize your home so that it will eliminate as far as pos sible the old elements of drudgery. that are a part of a kitchen devoid of modern conveniences. For many years home making was considered more or lese an accidental process. It was not studied from a scientific standpoint, as it is today, and as l result constant changes are be ing made in various methods, an they are tested out In an attempt to im prove them. The wide awake home maker is ever on the alert to learn of these changes. So often in the demonstration of '"ooMng it is hard for a large group to see arid uiiilersta rid the mixing- nl the iiii-redji nls by the derrmrist I .i'.nr , w bile in t he close-ups of "The Hr .de Wakes l'i" everyone can Me and hear just how -tin:-mixing., and ctjokii'u. is done. The story around the art of learning to cook, also has it appeal, and the bride becomes of unusual interest, as you lea i ti. a lofig wit h her .many new things. . The picture has -already been shown in several towns in the state with as tonishing attendance records, In one t place, seven'een hundred persons were registered. It is well, in ca;es Where it is pos sible, for the w ives to tiring, their hus bands along, especially if they are wanting to improve their household effects, for no man could view the finished products of the lessons in cooking without becoming quite hun gry, and with the promise of a dupli cation of such when he go', home, would no doubt become in a very receptive mood to the wants of his wife. Then "the husbande-to-be" mibt get a tip about demanding that their best girls become home-making-minded. They would also learn better than to invite guests for dinner with out asking their wives first. In fact even older husbands often find Jt wis er to at least mention the fact first to their wives. For extra guests are often disconcerting to the most ex perienced housekeepers, much less a bride. At each session the prizes that will be given away are no email attrac tion. All those attending will be ask ed to register and names will later be drawn and the lucky numbers (Continued on page 8) Fifteen invited guests saw a pre view of the motion picture cooking school, "The Bride Wakes Up," at the Park Theatre Tuesday morning, and were warm in their praise of the pic ture because of the marty helpful sug gestions to housewive and cooks. first motion picture cooking ever shown here will-Begin tnis afternoon at three o'clock for the first session.

Prizes will also be given to that section, Besides the picture, 'The Bride Wakes Up," a special feature titled "Penny Wisdom" is being shown by the theater. This feature within itself is said to be one of the most enter- j taming of its nature 'ever filmed. The cooking school film, "The Bridie Wakes Up," is tilled with humor, love and action all the way through. The film was made in Hollywood and well known screen stars take the parts in the picture.
