But, Gee, Hon ... Everyone Else Is Getting One!

 $1.00 was a lot of money in 1935.  I can just see the young ladies of Beloit, Wisconsin, lined up in the lobby of the Majestic Theatre while their now even poorer dates wait outside wondering how they got talked into another, to them, foolish purchase.  But all those photos of movie stars for only $1.00!  And recipes, too!


 I hope they weren't too disappointed.  It's not like the recipes were chosen by the stars.  You've just got photos, somewhat small and poorly printed, along with random recipes.  Although Braised Lamb does sound like a food New Englander Montgomery would have eaten.  "Neck of shoulder chops of Lamb" ... is that a common item these days?

P.S.  TCM is showing Private Lives today at 1:30 p.m. EDT.  Now that sounds like a fun mid-day break.
