 There it is! Glenn Miller and a batch of brand new tunes.
 But that's only skimming the sur- face. There's sultry Lynn Bari who sings with the band but, they say, she croons the other girls love songs. On hand, too, is Cesar Romero, who likes the little women, while they, in turn, worship hte ground that he crawled out of. And there's curva- ceous Carole Landis who has more sugar -daddies than she can shake a hip at. Also featured is Virginia Gilmore and vivacious Mary Beth Hughes. A highlight of the film is a dance speciality by the. Nicholas Brothers. Orchestra Wives" should be a particular treat for all who listen to bands - or who have ever danced to a band, inasmuch as il tells the story of a lady hepcat whc marries the trumpet" in Glenn Miller's band, and becomes Brass Widow. It tells of the trials and sorrows of the wives of the orches- tra men in the band when the band is on the road and 1t presents an intimate picture of the life of such a band on tour.
 Orchestra Wives" was produced by William LeBaron and directed by Archie Mayo from a script by Karl Tunberg and Darrell Ware based on an original story by James Prindle
 On the same program is another big hit, Girl Trouble" with Don Ameche, Joan Bonnet and Billie Burke.
