Second Wives" Just see what you,
the public, started when you &C.
claimed 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. Emusic School, has
been abandoned in favor of "They
Shall Have Music,'' which is going
to be bit harder on the men who
fit the names of pictures into thea
ter marques.
When you see Brian Aherne In
"Juarez"-if you haven't already
seen him-yOu might pretend that
you're a movie mOgul and study his
performance with the idea of Of
fering him the role of christopher
Columbus" in the movie version of
that famous Italians 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 MUM and Bette
Davis made together. "Juarez' de-
serves all your attention.

For a long time it seemed likely
that Rudy Vallee would be remem-
bered as the man who started the
CORONER wave that swept over the
country. Now it seems far more
likely that he'll be famous as the
fellow who discovered and devel-
Oped more celebrities than anybody
else.
Tommy Riggs, 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 crowd
ed off the anyways.
One of the newest and most in
genious is that presided over by the
two writer's of mystery stories who
sign their output CELERY Queen"
It's known as 'The Adventures of
Ellery Queen" Each week mys-
terry story is dramatized, with Mr..
Queen and four guest detectives 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 re-
sumed and the authors 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 an
other renewal of his contract on
that half-hour preceding the Vallee
show. He appeared on it for one
guest appearance, something like
"a weeks ago, and has, been regu-
lar ever since.
Lum and Abner are going back to
their old home in Arkansas this
summer, partly for a vacation,
partly to make sure that they

could!) and the home folks are be-
ginning now to prepare a proper
celebration. ~
