Courageous” “Daughters

i The first day of camera work on Warner Bros.’ “Daughters Courageous” was a jolly reunion of the fraternity of “Four Daughters.” one of 1938's foremost pictures. The “Daughters Courageous” cast includes every principal of the “Four Daughters” cast. Its director, Michael Curtiz, is the same, and the screen play v/as written by the same scenarists. Julius Epstein, with his brother, Philip. May Robson hurried back from an interrupted vacation with her son and grandson in New York in order to resume her film work with the rest of the cast. Lola Lane broke off a profitable personal appearance swing around America. Jeffrey Lynn cancelled his trip to be the guest of honour at a sports carnival. Dick Foran postponed one of his cowboy pictures for another screen producer; Claude Rains wired his wife to come on from Philadelphia and visit him, instead of going to that city himself as scheduled; and Frank McHugh unpacked the old black derby which he wears in his occasional roles as a steady going young business man. Rosemary and Priscilla Lane revelled in three weeks of advance wardrobe fittings - with designer Howard Shoup; and Gale Page hurried back from a vacation so that she, too, could join them.
