LE VISION
Bj§ GEORGE ULLEY
NEW jYORK, N. Y.—Sixteen
yean ago actor Ronald Colman
issued a sincere statement: “I shall
never make pictures in Hollywood
again.” He was resigned to the be*
lief that his movie career was over.
— For most of
. . lund
tnose years,
Col men had an
1 other phobia. He
could not go on
the radio. He
didn’t feel he
was too good for
the radio busi
ness. Retiring,
i quiet spoken, he
' felt radio was
too good for him.
Jack Benny
luring Col man and wife Benita into
guest appearances on his program.
Then along came Don Quinn, cre
ator of Fibber McGee and Molly,
with a superb script. The result:
“The Halls of Ivy” (college setting),
a deftly humorous piece starring the
Colmans Wednesday nights, NBC.
On since January, it is ending its
first season recognized as one of the
best, if not the best, new radio com*
edy of the year. It will return in
September.
24-HOUR HONEYMOON
Oh, for the life of • radio actress!
“Yeah?” asks pretty Teri Keane.
And with good reason. The gal hard
ly has time fbr anything. Fact is,
between busy schedules, it took Teri
and actor John Larkin three months
w ((ct nmmcu.
But they finally
made it — even
worked in a 24
hour honeymoon
—before return
ing to New York
for their air
shows on a re
cent Monday
morning. Among '
other five-day-a
week roles, Teri
is the heroine,
“Chichi,” on
Teri Keane
... the made it
inbcs i^ne can »e tseauuiui.
Larkin’s numerous appearances in
clude a daily stint as “Miles Nelson”
on “Rigtit to Happiness.” Someday,
thev hope, they may get a longer
reprieve from the microphones. But,
at the moment, it doesn’t look likely.
"PORTIA'S" PROBUMS
“Porti* Faces Ufa," NBC’s top.
Irawer radio aerial, is beginning its
11th mar of broadcasting. In thdt
time it has rated invariably among
the top 10 daytime programs, fre
quently one, two or three. Energetic
Lucille Wall
... more cloud»
WUim AVIlVf WHM
likes to putter
with flowers and
gardening, pre
pared the early
scripts and still
writes the show.
Capable, smart
dressing Lucille
Wall continues
in the lead role,
a part she has
played, with the
exception of sev
eral months
when she was confined by an injury,
since the program’s inception. “Por
tia" is a brilliant lawyer who would
rather be a good housewife. In her
effort she has had her troubles.
Among them: widowhood; support
of a young son; a second marriage;
temporary loss of her second hus
band (amnesia); the necessity of
defending him in a murder trial. On
the horizon, they say, is another
black cloud.
NOTES ON MARY JANE
“When a Girl Marries” (after*
noons, NBC) is another of the top
ranked serials. It celebrated its 11th
year on the air last May. In the
Hooper-Nietsen charts it usually has
rated among the first four daytime
programs. Pe
UIC, Dionue wary
Jane Higbv has
been the show’s
star (“Joan
Davis”) since its
beginning.
Daughter of the
owner of a stock
company, Mary
Jane did her first
“walk on” part
at the age of one.
She was making
Mary Jane Higby
.. . columnist, too
movies in Holly
wood at six. Highly trained, versa
tile, the star occasionally plays sup
porting roles to herself on her own
program. More recently Mary Jane
added another role: that of colum- <
nist. She is conducting a query de
partment on marriage in “Radio
Mirror," nationally circulated mag
azine.
