DAUGHTERS COURAGEOUS . . . Warner Brothers originally called this "Family Reunion", because it marked the reunion of the "Four Daughters" family. The story is not a direct sequel, although most of the characters are the same who appeared in that previous WB success. This time we have Fay Bainter as the mother of the four daughters, who was deserted by her husband, Claude Rains, after their last child was born. He returns and captivates the children with his rare charm and personality on the eve of Fay's planned marriage to Donald Crisp. When Rains asks her to remarry him, it is all she can do to send him away, realizing he represents only insecurity and irresponsibility. He takes with him John Garfield, a kindred spirit, who had captured the fancy of daughter Priscilla Lane. The other daughters are Gale Page, Lola Lane, Rosemary Lane. Jeffrey Lynn, May Robson, Dick Foran and Frank McHugh complete the cast. GOOD GIRLS GO TO PARIS Joan Blondell thought only slick gals, those who know how to pull a bit of deft blackmail on a rich man's son, go to Paris. But college professor Melvyn Douglas assures her that good girls go to Paris, too. Joan doubts it, but when she tries blackmail she discovers a conscience that won't allow it. Eventually, she has three wealthy men begging her hand, but she takes the professor who showed her the right path — and he takes her to Paris on their honeymoon. Walter Connolly, Alan Curtis and Joan Perry are in the cast of this Columbia picture.
