Now here’s a recipe that al­ways make me feel good all over ... Old fashioned Hungarian Rolls, or Crescents ... 1 quart warm water 1 yeast cake 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar Sifted flour Mix the sugar, salt, yeast and water. When thoroughly dis­solved, add enough sifted flour to make a medium soft dough. Cover, keep in warm place and let rise until light; then turn it on to the kneading board. Knead thoroughly and roll out into a sheet one-half an inch thick. Now cut in six inch squares, then divide them diagonally so you will have triangular pieces. Blush these lightly with water and then roll them up, beginning on the longest side of each. Place in a buttered pan, bringing the two ends around towards each other into crescent shape. Let rise till light, brush with egg and water, and bake in a moder­ately hot oven fifteen to twenty minutes. -So there you are, my friends, the presses didn’t have to wait for me today! Hollywood Bowl Easter Sunrise Service Surely everyone has heard of the “Hollywood Bowl” with its “Symphony under the Stars,” out here in Hollywood, California It is the world’s largest out­door auditorium, with a seating capacity of 20,000 and standing room for 30,000 more. This Easter marks the 22d year of this community-wide ob­servance which is generally re­cognized as America’s premier Eastertide event. There may be other Easter Sunrise Services over all The United States, with great pro­grams, but do not miss the ■ Hollywood Bowl” program which all of you can hear (if unable to attend in person) via the magic of radio. It will be broad­cast nationwide via the Mutual Broadcasting System (approxi­mately 120 stations); also by many Canadian stations and by short wave to many foreign lands It will be a full hour’s broad­cast from 8:00 a. m., E. S. T. (5:00 a. m. here in California). Watch local newspapers for cor­rect list of stations and time in your locality. Significance of this Easter Sun­rise Service is an expression of Hollywood’s religious spirit which, dqspite its more widely publicized glamorous aspects, is as deep and sincere as in any other American community. Here the “greats” of screen, radio and stage join hands with their lesser known neighbors, and give thanks for blessings bestowed. Here rich and poor, all races, colors and creeds come to reaffirm their faith in the Gospel of brother­ly love. This famous service is held in the great steel shell of the Holly­wood Bowl, and for the occasion the shell and the plaza facing it are decorated with 25,000 or more calla lilies (the true Easter lily) specially grown and donated for the event by many local garden­ers, and thousands of natural palm fonds gathered over all Los Angeles County. Visitors may view calla lily decorations through Easter Sunday. The program will begin at 5:00 a. m. (official sunrise time is 5:24 on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1941). A crowd of 50,000 or more is expected, of which thousands will already be there as early as midnight to get a “ringside seat.” AH seats are free, tbe event be­ing a non-profit, non-sectarian and non-commercial affair. There were Easters before when the crowd overflowed to neighboring “Pepper Tree Lane” (it may happen again). Here the audience may hear the program via loudspeakers. Not only will the program be radiocast but it will be televised by Television Station W6XAO (Don Lee Television System). It was first televised in 1940 and was proclaimed the most success­ful big event experiment to that date. This year the new trans­mitter tower located on near-by Mount Lee will be used for televising. The Hollywood Bowl program is already announced, and it high lights as principal soloist none other than our own Ilona Massey, famous Hungarian motion picture star here in Hollywood. Remember her in “Balalaika ” She reached her stellar success just recently in “New Wine,” a musical romance built around the melodies of Franz Schubert. She has the leading role in this picture, and her producers are so well pleased with her that her signature is already obtained on a three picture contract, which is good news for all her fans. (Hagymássy) Ilona Massey will sing “I know that my Redeem« liveth,” vocal solo from “The Messiah,” by Handel. The famous Lutheran Choral Union of Southern California will render many numbers, a few of which will be “Hallelujah Chorus,” from “The Messiah,” by Handel, “Gloria from the Twelfth Mass,” by Mozart, “Beautiful Saviour,” “The Lord’s Prayer,” etc. Other high lights of the pro­gram will be: Sunrise Trumpet Call, by White Robed Woman Musicians; Adult Mixed Chorus of 300 and the White Robed ‘Living Cross”; Easter Sunrise Chorus of 100 boys and girls; congregational singing; Easter message, etc., by local ministers; /oral solos and readings by world­­famous stars of concert, stage, opera, screen and radio. Forest Lawn Memorial Park Service This year marks the 18th Easter Sunrise Service at Forest Lawn. In this memorial park are laid the remains of many famous people. One of the recent is our sadly missed Joe Penner (Pintér Jóska). He is near the famous platinum blonde, Jean Harlow, and many other stars The gates of Forest Lawr. Memorial Park, in Glendale California, will be opened at 3:30 A. M., and the program will begin at 5:24 A. M., with a trumpet fanfare by the Los An­geles Philharmonic Orchestra brass section. Simultaneously, hundreds of white doves will be released from the “Tower of Legends,” symbolizing the Re­surrection. The doves will soar into the East, dispatching their symbolic message of peace and faith (the flight of doves is a yearly event). As the sun rises, its beams will fall first upon the gleaming cross atop the Tower of Legends, then across the Living Cross of 500 Choristers, and finally upon the multitude of worshipers. Here the site of the service is being decorated with 20,000 Easter lily plants, with from 2 to 5 blooms on each plant. A crowd of 100,000 is expected here, and the program will vie for honors with that of the Holly­wood Bowl. Susanna Foster, young motion picture star, will be the soloist and will sing Mozart’s “Alleluia,” and “The Lord’s Prayer,” by Albert Hay Malotte, accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Dr. Albert Coates. The Glendale Community Choir of 505 adult voices will sing several numbers. “The Master Is Corning” will be read by William Famum, veteran actor. After the service the audi­ence will be invited to see the “Last Supper,” in the Memorial Court. It is the famous recreation in stained glass of Leonardo de Vinci’s painting. The Forest Lawn Service will be broadcast via the Columbia Broadcasting System, coast to coast, beginning at 8:30 A. M., E. S. T. (5:30 A. M., Cali­fornia time); also short wave to carry it to all the world. Check your local papers for stations broadcasting it. Other Easter Sunrise Services are held all along the southland, too- numerous to mention. How­ever, I shall mention one more, outside Los Angeles County (pro­bably will be broadcast by N.B. C. stations). It is held on Mt. Rubidoux at the edge of the City of Riverside, California (not far from San Bernardino). Here it is claimed, the first non-sectarian Easter Sunrise Ser­vice of America was sponsored by Frank Miller, late master of “Mis­sion Inn” of Riverside, California. Today, although there are many such services, thousands of pil­grims come annually to the im­pressive Riverside Pilgrimage. Here atop Mt. Rubidoux, tower­ing above the tall spires of the church steeples, is a huge cross erected in honor of Father Juni­pero Serra, one of the noted padres of olden time. At the night before Easter, automobiles are winding up the mountain to take people to vant­age points for the service at dawn. Those of my readers who will be unable to attend any Easter Sunrise Services in person will do well to listen in on the many services from over all the U. S. and possibly from Hawaii, on all radio chains, from 5:00 A. M. to nearly 10:00 A. M., Eastern Desire Were I but able to fulfill desire so strangely within me; Passion to achieve that which I know may never be. A desire to live, love and be loved; passion for beauty, music— heavenly hours. These that I crave are not foolish reverie—but love for gayety, sunshine and to mingle in a heaven of one’s own—amidst a garden • of breath-taking flowers, or, A paradise for two, to soothe this restlessness in soul and heart; To be joyous, happy and live life to its fullest with—but nay, My tear-dimmed eyes and troubled mind tell only in part Of the sorrow in my heart and soul, because desire can not be achieved and Discontent lurks in every corner of my mind, making me crave more and more the luxuries I have never had (foolish heart)— Still selfish thoughts lead me on to my own selfish desires— Love of music, sweet and sad-longing for beauty of face and form and clothes as only wealth can satisfy. Deep within this restless urge makes me want to wander—as a Gypsy. Then I think how little they have but still live a heavenly world of their own, Happy as birds flying with untroubled ease thru the air, Amidst blue skies and clouds, gloriously white against the background of blue. Still the longing remains—my desire to do something great—something different—new! —“TRIXIE” of Yatesboro, Pa.
