Serious Error

But writers had made one serious error. They had killed Garfield off just before the finale—and he was the key man. For weeks, frantic bright boys in the studio writing department tried' desperately to conceive a logical reason for Garfeld's resurrection. It couldn't be done.

Next best thing was to write a istory similar to "Four Daughters" and use the same cast of characters. This was done, and the result was linked to its predecessor by means of the title; "Daughters Courageous." This picture also proved a tremendous hit at the box office, and, just a-few weeks ago, Warners finished another is time a direct sequel to "Four Daughers." t is titled "Four Wives," apd the essential Mr. Garfield is brought before the audience in ghostly form.

Killing off a prospective sequel hero could, as it did in the Warner cei cost lots of money The Pelicanettes Owing to its popularity the Mazurka number from ast week's foord show at the Pelican has been held.
