By VIRGINIA VALE 1)AUL W1HTEMAN, "The i King of Jazz," saluted this column on September 16 when he played Hogy Carmichael's "Star Dust," one of the fa-vorite tunes of thousands of people, including V. Vale. Of course you're familiar with the Whiteman program, "Forever Tops," Monday rtverdngl on ABC. He plays Uie hit longs of yesterday, and recreates thtir periods throuuh BBK jaw PAUL WHITEMAN anecdotes about the fashions and slang of their day. The great White-ma- n has helped to launch many of our popular tunes; like his program, he's "Forever Tops." Eugenie Baird, who skyrocketed to fame singing with Bing Crosby, was se-lected from more than 50 girls to sing the top tunes of all time. The photograph of any person, ei-ther living or dead, cannot be used in a motion picture without writ-ten permission. So Bess Flowers, character actress, received a full day's pay from Warner Bros. A like-ness of her was hung on a wall for a scene in "Cry Wolf," starring Bar-bara Stanwyck and Errol Flynn. Miss Flowers just stayed home and relaxed and collected her pay. Danny Kaye has planned a two-mont- h personal appearance tour fol-lowing completion of his current film, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"; it'll consist of one-nig- ht stands, and 30 performers will go along, including an orchestra. There's a nice story about Kaye. Several children appeared with him on the stage in "Lady In the Dark," and now he not only remembers them, he goes to see them! They were photographing the Goldwyn Girls ("Secret Life of Wal-ter Mitty") against a studio snow storm, made, of course, of bleached corn flakes. But the corn flakes were full of tiny black objects, which no DDT affected. Come to find out, the black objects were boll weevils, and the theory is that they migrated from the wardrobe of Senator Clng-hor-making "It's a Joke, Son" on an adjacent stage. A CBS "Academy Award" rehears-al is a good place to study film stars. Joseph Cotten goes through his script holding his glasses, never wearing them. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. chews gum vigorously, stuffs cot-ton in his ears if shots are to be fired. Humphrey Bogart draws in-tricate doodles and Henry Fonda telephones his wife every hour. i David 0. Sclzniek's "Little Wom-en" cast is pretty well lined up, with Jennifer Jones, Shirley Temple, Bamhi Linn and Diana Lynn play-ing the four girls, Ann Revere as the mother, and the English actor, Philip Friend, making his debut as the love Interest. Frankie Carle knows the habits of the movie companies all too well. When his pretty daughter Marjorie was offered a contract he turned it down unless there was a clause guaranteeing that she'd be used in motion pictures, not just in publicity stiUs. Kay Kyser has signed a new, long-ter-contract with his sponsors, and beginning October 2 he's cutting his program from one hour to half an hour, at his own suggestion. He's been on that Wednesday night spot on NBC since March 30, 1938. As a boy Robert Merrill wanted to sing like Bing Crosby. He's done all right singing his own way, what with his Metropolitan Opera engage-ment and radio work and he'll sing with Bing if plans for a charity con-cert to be held in October go through.
