METRO SLAYER AND SLAYER
PRESENT
LOVE ON
THE HANG

A never~fo"he"foirgoften love drama,
shifting from town to back~wood life.
Featuring—the lovely Jonina Notsocoldsdoftir,
the handsome Olafur Fishpanson,
the horrid Palmi Maniacsson.
Producer’s note: — Whether you like it
or not you’ve come in late, so I’ll give you
the gist of what has happened so far. —
A young couple, violently in love — Jonina
and Olafur — have eloped. They have driven
off in a stolen car to the backwoods and have
been living in Jonina’s father’s ranch for
three and half nights.
Meantime the vast network of America’s
broadcasting organisation is sending out fran-
tic appeals for them to return to the “fold”.
Without result.
bitors” Association have stipulated that there
must always be an interval during the second
house sitting.
O.K.......we don’t mind the interval but
I am sure we all agree that the Icelandic
operators have the most annoying habit of
“cutting out” for the interval just at the
crucial moment of the story.
Also, they sometimes — I’ll admit very
seldom — skip a couple of “frames” with
the result that the “horrid Palmi’s” opening
skirmishes would probably have been missed.
Now read on: —
Jonina: — Aw! Turn of the radio Honey.
Olafur: — O. K. Toots.
Jonina: — Oh, ain’t this grand.
Olafur: — You betcha!!
Jonina: — D’you still love me.....(Olafur
interrupts).
Olafur: — (Sudden-like) What wis that
rattlin?
Jonina: — Nut tin’ at all kid.............
(very sudden-like ... a shriek, in fact) . . . .
. . . . Gee .... Its POP!!
10 MINUTES INTERVAL
This sort of thing happens all too frequent-
ly in some of Iceland’s small, but, without a
doubt, cosy cinemas. Indeed they are so cosy

Another recope.
Steamed meat pudding. (Just as mother
used to make it).
Ingredients: — One breakfastcupful (Naafi
size) each of cooked Icelandic mutton, soaked
bread — just a little, handful (small) of cheese
rind, grated, and pickles, sauces, fishbones —
anything the Sergeant — Major does’nt like.
Pass through mincer. Cover an leave for an
hour. Un-cover off for a two and a half mi-
nutes and replace for quarter of an hour. Then
turn into greased dixie and simmer on feild
cooker adding salt to everyones taste. Serve
hot.
P. S. The addition of one ascorbic tablet
does not harm this dish.
Remember: — Waste Nothing. Disguise
your odds and ends!
