When it's rootin’-tootin’-shootin’, it beats all. When it isn’t, but is exploring the inner workings of the legendary American bandit’s mind and soul, it produced some squirming in this unkind corner. “Jesse James” is a name that promises action. The picture gives us plenty, too, but not quite as much as the name makes you expect. Beautiful color photography, spectacular business (night train robbery, chases on horseback, leaps of the James boys and horses over a cliff, dive on horseback through a glass show-window in escape after the thwarted robbery of bank) and good acting in a colorfully recreated period make “Jesse James” a must-see for your list, Power as Jesse is easy to take in the earlier sequences, harder to believe when he turns “vicious killer.,” Seemed to me about as vicious as Alexander of the Ragtime Band—but then everybody at 20th Century-Fox (they did it) says I'm nuts.

That’s the story, trimmed with assorted sure-fire hokum, thrills and laughs which are Director Bacon’s specialty—but for all that “Wings of the Navy” is a picture to see. This is mainly the fault of the U. S. Naval Air Service, which lent its resources to the filming; of the fine camera work, of the fact that there’s thrill and beauty in the sight of splendid air craft in flight; and of the film’s especial timeliness in view of the national defense question.

Twenty-five years later, Scientist Frankenstein's son (Rathbone) returns to the old castle with wife and child and finds Daddy’s Pet (Karloff) in a coma, attended by Cute Playmate (Lugosi), a half-crazed gent who survived hang- ing and now enjoys life as a castle-haunter. Against his better judgment (it's the scientist in him) Frankenstein restores the pretty pal to health with a shot of electricity—and there'’s hell to pay. Fine spooky settings and camera work, serious performance, artful atmosphere should induce a lovely evening of the creeps, served hot for horror fans.

ALEXANDER GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer | One of the things America can | thank old England for is its liking |for roast beef, the aristocrat of f meats. You can't go wrong, when your | budget permits, if you serve a juicy rib roasts. One of the best ways of puun" |a good roast is to patronize a re- liable butcher. There are certain’ tests you can apply in picking the cut of meat, but they're not con- clusive, Tender beef usually is well streaked with clear, cream-colored fat, the flesh is firm to the touch,; smooth, fine-grained and glossy. Freshly cut beef is bright red. When it has been hung—exposed to the air — the meat darkens. Many people who fancy them- selyes as epicures spurn the fresh- ly cut beef. They say it's not worth eating until the meat is dark. With some it has to be quite dark, too. Note the Weight Two or three ribs will be enough to serve the average family, four or five for a larger group. Some people like to serve a standing bones in it. But the butcher re- moves the ribs you get a rolled roast—the meat is tightly rolled and held together with cords or skewers. It is wise to note the weight of the roast when you buy it. That will help in the cooking, To bring out the flavor of a standing roast,; proceed this way: 1 Wipe the roast with a cloth, then rub is well with salt, piece these are the proportions: a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of pepper and two tablespoons or flour. Put the roast, fat side up, on a rack that's raised a quarter of| an inch from the bottom of the roasting pan. Roasting Time Scale Turn the oven on hot (500 de- grees) for the first 20 minutes of cooking; that will sear it. Then lower the heat to 300 degrees and cook according to this scale: 16 minutes a pound, if you like your meat rade; 22 minutes a pound for medium, and 30 minutes a pound for well done. You should not cover the pan; the fat not only seasons the roast, but also keeps it moist while cook- )| ing. Baste the meat every fifteen minutes or so with the drippings. A rolled roast is cooked in much the same way. But since it doesn’t have quite so much fat you'd bet- ter put half a cup of water in the | roasting -pan. And since the rolled poast is thicker than a standing one, add five minutes to the cook- NSl 16 A A adon. o ANNUAL FISHERMEN'S BALL ELKS' HALL — SATURDAY AT 9:30 P. M.

When your roast is done, lift it off the plan. Pour out of the pan all but four tablespoons of fat and then make your brown gravy in the pan in this manner: Sprinkle {in four tablespoons of flour and| {mix well, add two cups of boiling water and a little salt and pepper and boil the mixture on top of the stove, stirring it frequently. pepper and flour.

Pour of one inch in a shallow erously roast. Bake pan gen- twenty minutes in a moderate oven, basting three times with drippings. Cut into squares and arrange them around the roast on the serving platter. To take the guesswork out of roast cooking, use one of those special roast-meat thermometers. Make an sion so that the bulb reaches the center of the roast and cook until it reads 140 degrees for rare, 160 for medium and 180 for well done. However, with little practice you can do your beef to a turn without! a thermometer. !Mlsorr CASE Mother of 14-Year-Old Girl in Commission- er's Court Evelyn Misoff, Juneau housewife and mother of four children, went before U. S. Commissioner Felix Gray this morning in a crowded Commissioner’s Court hearing on a charge of contributing to the delin- quency of a minor. It was brought out in charges of the Government that Mrs. Misoff had “aided and abetted her daugh- ter” in “prostitution.” Her daugh- ter, Inez, is fourteen years old. Sordid charges and testimony {{marked an hour and a half long hearing and Commissioner Gray is reserving judgement. Attorney for the defense is George Grigsby. Late this afternoon, however, Cominissioner Gray bound Mrs. Mis- off over to the Grand Jury under F1$2,500 bond. to-ig to a thickness| sed with dripping from | HEARD TODAY RIB ROAST OF BEEF IS STILL REGAL DISH Roast of Beet gamiqhed with Brewned Banana and Epleed Guoseberries BATILE STILL ~ RAGES AROUND LIQUOR BILL Walker Measure Confin- ued in Third Reading After Heavy Debate Although the cannons roared for another hour today, . the battle, after the smoke had cleared any attempt to have it referred to the Judiciary Committee “for care- fuly study,” finally when the Senate voted six to two to continue it in third under suspension of the rules, at o'cleck tomorrow.
