! "DESPERADOES"
NOW PLAYING AT
CAPITOL THEATRE |
Randolph Scott, Glenn Ford,(
Claire Trevor, Ev'elyn Keyes and j
Edgar Buchanan head the top-1
flight cast of Columbia’s "The Des
peradoes.” new Technicolor west
ern at the Capitol Theater. A mo
tion picture jammed with the ex
citement of smashing fists, crash
ing bullets and thundering stam
pedes. "The Desperadoes” is a
breathless, beautiful example of en
tertainment at its best.
Charles Vidor directed the new
film, story of a range outlaw’s fight j
to bring law and order into a fron
tier town, in order that he himself
might reform.
Fastest-climbing star in Holly
wood today, Glenn Ford adds to his
laurels as the soft-spoken Cheyenne,
who couldn't stop once he started
killing. Randolph Scott appears as
the sheriff, and Edgar Buchanan
as Uncle Willie, a shootin’ fool who
never q^uld find his gun. Claire
Trevor is the Countess and lovely
Evelyn Keyes appears as Uncle
Willie’s daughter. Lesser roles are
equally well-played by Porter Hall,
as the banker; Guinn Williams, as
a dynamite-loving bad man, and
Bernard Nedell, as a villain of deeo
est dye.
How Alaska’s miracle highway
will hasten the blast of America's
might against Japan is the theme
of an added attraction, the latest
issue of the World in Action.

NOTE—From time to time, in this space,
there will appear an article which we hope
trill be of interest to our fellow Americans.
This is number eight of a series.
SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL COUP..
NEW YORK
Barrels
If you were in a quiz contest and
were asked, “Name the raw mate
rials out of which whiskey is made,”
I am afraid there would be no pay-off
for you if you did not include “bar
rels” in your answer.
The barrel is much more than a
mere container for storing whiskey.
It contributes definite flavor ele
ments to the whiskey. In the distill
ing business, these are known as “ex
tractives.” When whiskey comes off
the still it is stored in charred, new
oak casks.
A great deal of attention and study
is spent on barrels in a modem dis
tillery because there are so many
variables in wood—so little uniform
ity. For instance, barrels whose
staves were made from oak grown
on the top of a ridge differ greatly
from those made from oak that was
grown on the middle slopes of the
hill or in the bottoms. Various de- j
grees pf exposure to winds, amount
of sunshine, water, difference in soil
composition, all have an effect on the
characteristics of plant life. Se the
ingredients extracted by the whiskey
from the wood have variable flavor
characteristics.
Then there is the matter of the char
in the barrel; a fraction of an inch
difference in the depth of the char
makes a difference in the end-product.
And, if you were asked, “How long J
should a whiskey be kept in the wood :
before it becomes a ‘good’ whiskey ? ” I
...what would your answer be? Will
you let us help you out? The age
when whiskey becomes “right” is
also variable. Some whiskies, like
some wines, too, reach their peak of j
maturity earlier than others. For
instance, Bourbon whiskey, made
principally from com, usually ma
tures more rapidly than Rye. Bour
bon whiskey which has been repos
ing in the wood for four years may
be equivalent in maturity to Rye at
five or six years.
While it is true that all whiskey
improves in quality in the wood,
there comes a time when it reaches
its peak of perfection, after which it
either remains static or deteriorates in
quality. Remember, whiskey draws
certain flavor extractives out of the
barrel staves.
It is good to remember then, that
age, although important, is not the
sole determining factor in the qual
ity of a whiskey. The expert might
pass up a whiskey of greater age for
one of lesser age, when the average
layman would boast of the venera
ble years of his whiskey without
taking other important factors into
consideration.
All of these variables are impor
tant to the modem distiller. The
barrels-are typed, and the whiskey
is typed according to age and domi
nant characteristics. And out of all
this comes a “library” of whiskey,
catalogued and indexed for the ex
pert blender whom you never see or
know, but whom you compliment
quite unconsciously when you say,
“Gee, this is a fine drink of blended
whiskey!”

BERLIN BOMBED
IN EPIC FILM AT
20TH CENTURY
iiinnt-—
America's mighty Flying Fortres
ses. which are blazing their name I
into indelible history on the war |
fronts of the world, roared on to |
the 20th Century screen yesterday.:
Starring Richard Green, whom the j
British Army furloughed to make'
the picture, Carla Lehmann and, j
of course, the famed B-17’s "Flying J
Fortress” is an inspiring drama of'
the skyways.
Produced by Warner Bros, at its i
Teddington, England, studios, "Fly
ing Fortress" embraces the regener
ation of an American playboy. Jim
Spence i Richard Greene's role *,
who joins the American division of
the R.A.F. and who distinguishes'
himself in a clamatic R AF. blitz
on Berlin. Dexterly interwoven is
the love of Jim and Sydney Kelly
tplayed by Carla Lahmann.
The real stars of the picture are
the Flying Fortresses, seen in ac
tion, incidentally, for the first time
by motion picture audiences. There
is the exciting take-off from a se- j
cret Canadian base on a ferry trip i
across the Atlantic; the turmoil of I
briefing and preparing for the blitz
on Berlin; the suspense of the
flight to the objective; and then
the drama of the raid itself.
