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 | 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 qpuld 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 deen-;r est dye. H 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. ————— Bond Premier, Jan. for every seat.

Barrels If you were in a quiz contest and | were asked, “Name the raw mate- | rials out of which whiskey is made,” | 1 am afraid there would be no pay-off | for you if you did not include “bar- rels” in your answer. i The barrel is much more than a'| mere container for storing whiskey. | 1t contributes definite flavor ele- ments to the whiskey. In the distill- | | mg business, these are known as “‘ex- | actives.” When whiskey comes off | the stil it ia stored in charred, new i oak casks. A great deal of attention and study | | is spent on barrels in a modern dis- | | tillery because there are so many variables in wood—so little uniform- | ity. For instance, barrels whose | | staves were made from oak grown n 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- | grees of exposure to winds, amount { of sunshine, water, difference in soil ‘ composition, all have an effect on the | characteristics of plant life.

And, if you were asked, “Howlong | should a whiskey be kept in the wood | | beforeit becomes a ‘good’ whiskey ?** ...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 } maturity earlier than others. For instance, Bourbon whiskey, made principally from corn, 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, 1 there comes a time when it reaches | its peak of perfection, after which n; | either remainsstatic 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 & 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 modern distiller. The barrelssare 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!” | MARK MERIT ERSAI ST ON BUSINESS TRIP S GOLDSTEINS SOUTH | Mr .and Mrs. Isadore Goldstein have left for the South on a com- bined business and pleasure trip. e MRS.
