Released bar Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE IT DIDN’T take Myrna Loy long to decide wlat she’d do as a free-lance star after she left Metro. Practically everybody wanted her sot a picture, but she chose the feminine starring role in “Genius in the Family.” The story’s laid in 1870, and is all about the courting days of Hiram Stevens Maxim, who invented the machine gun, among

F JM

Myrna Loy other things. And who do you suppose plays Hiram? None other than Don Ameche. But he doesn’t invent a thing during the picture. Just plays a charming and resourceful suitor. *— When the Kate Smith program returns to the air early in September, it will be broadcast Fridays at 8:30 p. m., EWT, on CBS, instead of Sundays, and will be on the air 25 minutes instead of a full hour. And there’ll be more songs by Kate. * Cornel Wilde, expert fencer, who plays the swashbuckling Aladdin in Columbia’s “A Thousand and One Nights,” will be built up as the successor to the late Douglas Fairbanks in roles of that type. He’s the first to get that build-up since Fairbanks died. * Remember all those models who were taken to Hollywood, with much fanfare, for “Cover Girl”? Dusty Anderson, the only one of the 15 to be given a studio contract, gets her first lead playing opposite Warner Baxter in “The Paper Doll Murders.” * John Reilly, the engineer of the air show, “It Pays to Be Ignorant,” works nights, and sleeps late mornings. At least, he did until his three-year-old daughter heard little Johnny, the call boy on the Ginny Simms show. Now she gets up at the crack of dawn and goes around the house imitating Johnny’s clarion call advertising the sponsor’s cigarettes at the top of her lungs. * Marie McDonald will play her first piano solo before a huge audience all the people who go to see “Getting Gertie’s Garter.” Producer "Edward Small heard that Marie had been studying piano with Ray Sinatra, cousin of Frank, who’s one of Hollywood’s best known pianists and arrangers. Small didn’t know she’d learned little more than the scales, so he had her written in for a piano solo.

The new Fred Waring show, heard Mondays through Fridays over NBC, is a novelty in more ways than merely changing the usual network type of morning programs. Waring has made his program a showcase for returning veterans who want to make show business their postwar careers. The veterans apply for an NBC “Welcome Home Audition,” provided by the network especially for servicemen; Waring scans the results and picks the most promising. When Roy Acuff and the Smoky Mountain Boys and Girls of “Grand Ole Opry” fame were being flown in a C-47 to a huge war bond rally in Tennessee, members of the plane’s crew regretted that they’d miss the show, as they had to return. So Roy and his band got out their instruments, and while flying 200 miles an hour at 5,000 feet, gave their complete performance for the crew. 4 * — Kay Kyser wrote President Truman asking for a list of the chief executive’s tunes, and was informed that they’re “Over There,” “Pack Up Your Troubles,” the “Toreador Song” from “Carmen,” and “Song without Words.” Kay will present them in new arrangements on his air show. ODDS AND ENDS—Ellery Queen show guest armchair detectives who have only a mild interest in murdermystery fiction are usually the most successful in guessing the correct solution. . . - Barbara Jo Allen, the “Vera Vague” of radio fame, has a featured role in Columbia's “Snafu.” . . . Micky Kuhn, 11, who plays Rhett Butler’s son in “Gone With the Wind,” has been signed to play Dick Tracy Jr. in RKO’s series of films based on the popular comic strip. ... Monogram’s “Dillinger” is breaking records, and inspiring other studios to go in for similar films.

There’s been a great upsurge in Long Distance telephone calls since V-E Day. Often there are delays even on calls to near-by points. Thousands of calls for veterans returning from long service overseas and the faster IJ] [J tempo of the Pacific War are adding to the rush at the Long Distance switchboards. . . We ask your help in avoiding Long Distance calls that aren't really urgent, and we ask your patience if your call is delayed.

TIMES CHANGE A’ country editor speaking: “The fellow who used to get notoriety for engraving the Lord’s Prayer on a grain of rice has been succeeded by the motorist who is trying to write his six-figure license and state on a gas coupon.”
