Evening star., 1948-07-18

for q more special audience-those
fascinated with movie stars. This
is, of course, a large audience,
though not as large as any theater
manager would like. George Muir
ply plays Clifton Fadiman in this
case and, when we've heard the
show, Eddie Bracken has filled, If
he'll pardon the expression, the
Oscar Levant role, providing the
clowning. To date, no one compar-
able to Franklin P. Adams or John
kieran has been turned up among
the Hollywood guests.
You can win f1ve-year subscrip-
ton to Photoplay magazine by send
ing in a question used and a fancy
television set or radio-phonograph
combination If 1t stumps the alleged
experts. You ought to be able to
set yourself up as q radio dealer
after getting the magazine subscrip-
ton for your first question. With
close perusal of any fan magazine
you should be prepared to cook up
at least one puzzler a week to win
television set. You'd be surprised
how many directors and players are
in the dark about the details OF
their most recent films.

John Charles DAILY, who once
was a local announcer known as
Charlie Daily before he became one
of the CHS networks better news
commentators, was among several
who performed nobly during the
Democratic Convention. Mr.. DAILY
should be awarded some sort of spe-
cial citation, though, for the phrase
coming he INDUCED in Wednesday
night, just before the Truman NOM
ination. Describing preparations for
the spontaneous hahD demostra-
ton, Mr.. Daily announced that large
pictures of Mr.. Truman were upside
down at the moment, but with the
nomination they will be right-sided-
up, so to speak"
You can't think of a better way
to say what he meant.

Final Convention Note: MICS H.
v. Kaltenborn enjoyed the run of
Philadelphias Union League Club
few weeks ago. Last week he went
around there again, bent upon get
ting massage, but found strangers
such as he not welcome That other
time, he was told, was Republican
Convention, not Democratic one.

Sigmund Spaeth, the, tune detec-
tive man, who knows where any
melody you can think of came from,
agrees on the Mystery Melody,
title. It's World Events" or World
Events March," he says, and you'll
have a better chance If you say
World Events March" The catch
on this thing always is, you should
know, that the title you must give
to win fame and fortune Is the title
by which the tune is known to Or
chestra Leader Harry Salter. Our
Disc Shop research expert says the
sheet music on file at the Library of
Congress bears the name World
Events" with the legend, March for
Bands" beneath and not part of the
title. And you don't say "Stardust
Foxtrot" or Jealousy Tango
