Now each of Penny's two daughters has her own Lassie descendant for a pet. * * * Gene Autry is no longer the only cowboy star who doubles in radio station operations. Tex Ritter, horse opera film star and recorder of albums for kids, has been granted an FCC license to operate a San Antonio radio station. Dick Chevillat and Ray Singer, script writers for the Phil Harris-Alice Faye show, are spending the summer doing the book for a Broadway musical. The score is by Julie Styne and Sammy Cahn. They hope to get the show on its way before radio duties call them back. * * * It is rumored that the two major political parties will pour an estimated eight million dollars into radio and television coffers during the coming election. They both wanta win bad! * * * Another rumor . . . whisperings around radio row have it that Henry Luce, owner of Time-Life-Fortune, is interested in buying station WOR, New York outlet of the Mutual chain, to get in on the television scramble. Life on the air? * * * Jack Barry, Juvenile Jury m.c. has been widening his scope this summer. Not content with radio, television and the movies, Jack's been producing plays for a stock company on Long Island this straw hat season. * * * George O'Hanlon, who plays the title role in Warner Brothers' "Joe McDoakes" short subjects, has been set to star on a new comedy show scheduled to open over Mutual in September. * * * Lots of people have been wondering whether Arnold Stang, "Gerard" on the Henry Morgan show, looks anything like the way he sounds. The answer is yes and more listeners are likely to be able to check that for themselves soon, because chances are Morgan will work Stang in on his video stanza. * * * Maybe the success of radio performers in the film "Naked City," will break the ice for air actors in Hollywood. As a rule, movie producers stay away from radio when looking for talent for the flickers. But when "Naked City" was shot in New York, twenty prominent parts were played by New York radio actors and actresses, outstanding performances being given by such radio familiars as House Jameson, Howard Duff, Anne Sargent, Adelaide Klein, Grover Burgess, Tom Pedi, Enid Markey, Frank Conroy, Hester Sondergaard and Ted DeCorsia. Of all of these, only Howard Duff is really known to the movie goers. But they all proved that talent isn't usually limited to one medium and a good actor on the air is a good actor to see, too. Anyway, it's an idea for the talent scouts. * * * John Brown, who plays Father Foster, on the Date With Judy show, is living proof that you should never let anything get you down. Years ago, after working in several Broadway shows, Brown was given his first radio audition. The director, a forthright man, pointed at Brown and announced, "You'll never become a radio actor." Brown has made a liar of that director some 7,500 times, the number of radio appearances he's made since that first audition. * * * Cute note . . .
