The president spoke from a ros-trum in the oval room of the White House. Rtleased by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE I7"HEN the NBC "Grand Ole Opry" program re-- ccntly originated from a col- - orful old showboat as it sailed down the Cumberland river from Nashville, Tenn, it was the first time a network air-sho- w had emanated from a moving j showboat, the first time a group of j newspar and magazine people had ever been on one, (we were flows there for the event) and the first time Announcer Louie Buck RED FOLEY ever had mike fright. "Red Foley, Whitey Ford, Minnie Pearl and all the others were having such a big time that I was afraid they'd be carried away and miss a cue," said he. "I was afraid to announce any-body's next number for fear he wouldn't make it to the mike in time." Lon McCallister, who hardly knows one musical note from an- - other, has been driving everybody else on the "No Trespassing" set nut. He's taking violin lessons in his dressing room between scenes, learning to play five old-tim- e melo-dies for his next picture, "Bob, Son of Battle"; the rest of the cast, which if headed by Edward G. Robinson, wished that he'd taken up something quiet, like training fleas. "Bulldog Drummond" Is return-ing to the screen, his first appear- - ance since 1939, when Paramount did "Bulldog Drummond's Secret Police," with John Howard as the star. That was the seventh of a series; John Barrymore and Ray Milland had appeared as "Drum-mond" for Paramount, and way back In 1939 Ronald Colman had originated the character for Sam-uel Goldwyn. In England, John Lodge did him In 1937. Now we're to have "Bulldog Drummond at Bay," produced by Venture Pic-tures, a Columbia producing unit; two of the series will be made this year. Time was when the lovely ladies of the films weren't supposed to have a brain beneath their curls. No matter how smart they were, press agents pictured them as beau-tiful but sort of dumb. But now the Sirls don't care who knows that they not only act In pictures, but have a financial interest in them. Hedy Lamarr became a producer with "The Strange Woman"; Bette Davis is credited with "The Stolen Life," Ingrid Bergman is credited as producing "Arch of Triumph," and Joan Bennett is producing chief of Diana Productions. Lanny Ross has been identified with "Moonlight and Roses" since 1928, but after he was demobilized from General MacArthur's special staff and returned to broadcasting, he wanted to drop the song. In came several thousand protests, so U'l still his theme song. You'll see Joe Yule, Mickey Rooney's father, as "Jlggs" In "Bringing Up Father," for Mono-gram. He and George McManus, who draws the famous comic strip, were both considered for the role, but McManus withdrew "for per- - sonal reasons." As a Broadway star Jack Arthur was originally engaged for a part In "Grand Central Station"; then he was kept as nar-rct-of the show. He Is the only stage performer of the hundreds who've worked on the program to win a permanent berth. One of the biggest of all radio acting plums right now is the "Nik-ki- " role on the CBS Ellery Queen show.
