From negatives 4896i and 4897i: Actress Lucille Webster Gleason aspires to start a domestic science school for working girls. In the meantime she is teaching her associates how to prepare dinners at a minimum cost. A volunteer cooking class has been started by Miss Gleason, and a dinner in which every dish is prepared by the girls of a local troupe, is being planned for the male members.
The women gather around Lucille standing at the open stove, holding a piece of meat on a spear.
