THREE SMART GIRLS
‘THE Priestess at Delphi (see page 3) has her female counterparts in the present. Dorothy Dix started their work in print, and radio was not very old before acquiring its equivalent seersthe panel of experts to answer problems. They have become programme favourites in many countries, and now an Australian show, Leave It To the Girls has arrived in New Zealand. It starts this Saturday, August 17, from all Commercial stations. : The compere of the show, Terry Dear, invites listeners who have any worries to "leave it to the girls," who are willing to give advice on any problem. They do not claim to be expert, and their solutions come with a good deal of fun, but behind the fun there is a friendly and practical attitude that balances entertainment with commonsense advice. The "Girls" are journalist Elizabeth Riddell, stage and radio actress Margo Lee, and film critic Josephine O'Neill. From time to time other "Girls" join them, and each week a male guest is there to present the masculine point of view. The compere and general adjudicator, Terry Dear, is a radio veteran who has become one of the best-liked Australian entertainment personalities. "Jo" O'Neill is a_ soft-voiced but determined woman well known in Australia for her expert and widely followed film reviews. She has been a film critic for longer than she cares to reveal, and by now knows the film world and
humanity in general pretty well. "Betty" Riddell is also a journalist, whose work has ranged from covering the Potsdam Conference to editing a women’s magazine and being a daily newspaper "sob sister," At present she writes a column called La Ronde for a big Sydney daily. She is married to a former Rugby Union International, "Blue" Greatorex. Glamour girl of the programme is blonde actress Margo Lee, in private life the wife of an importer, Frank Brooks. With two sons, she is the only mother on the panel. New Zealanders perhaps know her best as Sally in Dossier on Dumetrius. :
