Great to see Bette "paying the rent"
My term for "inbetween" jobs to keep the bank balance topped up - great film although it kills me how the "friend" has to keep looking over BDs shoulders to see as BD moves around - right, left, right, left .....
For some reason there is a link to a film by Florence Hanford on "Television Kitchen" which will be of interest to both retro kitchen lovers and mixer collectors at the bottom of the link once the clip ends

Thanks for the link!
That's a Philco range along with a Hotpoint electric sink and either a GE or HP refrigerator. Nice looking Revere pieces in the opening. If that Philco range was the TOL model, and it probably was, that slide door swings open for the companion oven. The saucepan was older Farberware before they put the hanging ring in the handle, rarely seen now. She says there's no gelatin in the pie, but the marshmallows are full of gelatin. I guess there was less worry about raw egg whites back then. I would have strained the pieces of almond out of the filling after cooking it. While the flavor would be nice, it seems to me that pieces of almond in a cream pie filling would be a disturbing change of texture. Someone biting down on a nut when they did not expect it could do dental damage.
In the Bette Davis piece, did you hear the plug for the GE range about controlled heat and the outside of the pans staying clean?

Brent, I am always amazed at how much this machine looks just like the Kitchen Aid Briva.
"I am always amazed at how much this machine looks just like the Kitchen Aid Briva."
The Brevia probably washed about as well, too.
What she was pouring into the machine was little more than STPP and similar complex phosphate water conditioners. They did not have non- foaming surfactants at that time. It was during WWII when fats were needed for explosives that research on synthetic detergents that did not depend on the saponification of fats by alkalies was undertaken. It was in the early 50s that research by Monsanto into a non-foaming surfactant for dishwashers resulted in ALL for washing machines. The lack of good, non-foaming surfactants in the dishwasher detergents was what made dishwasher performance so marginal before the late 1950s. You noticed that skillet that she put in was almost clean. It was also an aluminum skillet and was far too shiny to have been dishwasher washed very many times.

and if they don't all come out
sparkling clean she'll throw a major fit and start screaming at the machine, "WHAT A DUMP!!!!!!!!!!"
all in all a great rare glimpse of bette davis doing a commercial, and in 1935! she was just getting started at that time. she made "of human bondage" in 1934 so it's basically "mildred running the dishwasher".
i also had no idea they had a dishwasher of that sophistication in the 30's. i thought they came around in the mid forties.
great clip! really loved it! bette davis, God love her!

So ahead and
it all got retarded 10 years due to WWII. Did you notice the racks are coated with something they are not SS like in the 1940's GE DW.
I wonder what the material was.
