Show tar list "A" So On Through Life "k Rudy in Another Role k Ingenious Quiz Program I Ky Virginia Vale ' TT BEGINS to look as if -1- those girls who made "Four Daughters" what it was (with the aid of John Garfield), have a life-time job. They appear again in the new "Daughters Courageous" with him, and will shortly make "Four Wives." The studio had intended to have them do "Four Mothers" as the next of the series, but now the wives will come first. Of course, they could go on forever, becoming grandmothers, widows, and then possibly "Four Second ' j Ul . ;:. :o:::::::x:V pniiiiia GALE PAGE Wives." Just see what you, the public, pub-lic, started when you acclaimed the three Lane sisters and Gale Page in that first picture! In case you're Interested In that picture Samuel Goldwyn has been making, bringing Jascha Heifetz to the screen, the title has been changed again. "Music School" has been abandoned In favor of "They Shall Have Music," which is going to be a bit harder on the men who fit the names of pictures into theater thea-ter marquees. When you see Brian Aherne In "Juarez" if yon haven't already seen him you might pretend that you're a movie mogul and study his performance with the Idea of offering of-fering him the role of "Christopher Columbus" in the movie version of that famous Italian's life. That's what Edward Small did. On second thought, maybe you'd better not bother. For it would be a shame to do anything that would take your mind off the grand picture that Aherne, Paul Muni and Bette Davis made together. "Juarez" deserves de-serves all your attention. For a long time it seemed likely that Rudy Vallee would be remembered remem-bered as the man who started the "crooner" wave that swept over the country. Now it seems far more likely that he'll be famous as the fellow who discovered and developed devel-oped more celebrities than anybody else. Tommy Puggs, Edgar Bergen, Bob Burns they're just three out of a list of more than one hundred radio celebrities who owe their fame to the chance that he gave them. Those quiz programs, in one form or another, seem likely to go on forever, which is bad news for all the singers whom they have crowded crowd-ed off the airways. One of the newest and most ingenious in-genious is that presided over by the two writers of mystery stories who sign their output "Ellery Queen." It's known as "The Adventures of Ellery Queen." Each week a mystery mys-tery story is dramatized, with Mr. Queen and four guest detectives listening. lis-tening. As soon as Queen knows who the murderer is he stops the play, and each guest is asked to give his solution of the mystery. Then the dramatization is resumed re-sumed and the author's solution given. It's lots of fun to follow from your own arm chair. One of the radio singers for whom quiz programs hold no threats Is Felix Knight, who's just had another an-other renewal of his contract on that half-hour preceding the Vallee 'show. He appeared on it for one guest appearance, something like 84 weeks ago, and has been a regular regu-lar ever since. Lum and Atner are going back to their old home In Arkansas this summer, partly for a vacation, partly to make sure that they haven't lost their accents (as if they could!) and the homefolks are beginning be-ginning now to prepare a proper celebration.
