Kildare is Here!
T HERE are probably a lot of people who, if they were asked to give the names of three famous doctors, would give Doctor Kildare as the name of one of them. In doing so, they would be paying a tribute, net only to the Drama of Medicine, but also to the persistence of the film industry. It was the film industry that made Dr. Kildare’s name,
and having made it, kept it alive in people’s minds by a series of films with the same characters in similar gleaming and hygienic situations. Now Dr. Kildare has changed his ground and become the latest figure in a long line of radio doctors, The Story of Dr. Kildare is being told in half-hour, self-contained episodes at 9.0 p.m. each Monday evening from the ZB stations and 2ZA. Lew Ayres and Lionel Barrymore are there, and even though the wheel-chair is invisible and the pretty theatre sisters only disembodied voices, there'll still. be plenty going on in that big bustling American hospital. ATTLES, jousts, mysterious prisoners, beautiful women, gallant knights and all the intrigue of medieval France that Alexander Dumas could crowd into a-novel is to be found is Les Deux Diane. There’s very little less of it in the dramatised radio version, The Two Dianas. For those who like their thrills in slashed doubtlets and silken hose, The Two Dianas will be broadcast from 1ZB at 10.15 am., Mondays to Fridays, beginning on December 21.
