Virginia ABC Board
Buys Liquor Stock
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. THE
Virginia ABC Board today today
disclosed completion of a deal in
volving upward of s5,000,000 for
100000 gallons of liquor to be de-
livered to the State during the next
IA months.
While this liquor will augment the
Virginia supply it probably will do
no more than assure the ABC Board
continued sales on the present basis.
The additional supply will be mar
keted under the brand name of Old
Mr.. Boston Rocking Chair and will
be an 80.6-proof blend of straight
whiskies that will retail at a price
of somewhere between $225 and
$3.50 a fifth.
The deal represents about one
seventh of the actual amount sold
in Virginia during the fiscal year of
1942-43. Deliveries will be at the
rate of nearly $4,000 gallons a week
as compared with average weekly
sales of about 10000 gallons during
the past fiscal year.

was discovered that the studio COM

into effect, agreed to cook one. But
the demand was made that it be

Then it was remembered that
Fitzgerald would need a new drum
stick to gnaW on for each camera
take, and, after all, the bird had
only two legs. He was instructed
to bite carefully into only one side
of the drumstick, so that it could
be turned over for the next shot.
With four different angles to be
covered, the actor couldn't afford to
blow single shot.
The atmosphere on the set was

Walter Slezak, noted for his Nazi

Basis for his hope is that in this

his native German, but his 14-year
residence in the United States has
damaged his Viennese accent so
badly that he is hardly authentic
to any one who knows German we'll
