Guest on Closing ''Guild99 Show ROSALIND RUSSELL With one of the most elaborate programs of the season, the "Gulf Screen Guild Theatre" concludes its current series over WHP and the Columbia network on Sunday, 7.30 to 8.00 p. m. During this series, the "theatre" has poured $570,000 into the Motion Picture Relief Fund, all salaries going to the fund rather than to the stars. And these are the extraordinary presentations by the "Screen Guild" for its farewell program: Spencer Tracy and Rosalind Russell, two of screendom's greatest performers, in the hilarious satire, "Ninotchka." A capsule preview of the "Adventures of Ellery Queen," the famous Columbia network mystery series, which replaces the "Screen Guild" for the present sponsor Gulf Oil the following Sunday. Miss Russell takes the Greta Garbo role, while Tracy plays the Melvyn Douglas part in the radio version of the film hit, "Ninotchka." Miss Russell is a Soviet agent, sent to Paris by her government to keep Tracy from stealing the crown jewels, which rightfully belong to his sweetheart, an exiled countess.

And it's a laugh a second from there on.

What's more she used to render a song with each shine. Bob Hope brought his entire radio cast with him to last Sunday's Screen Guild broadcast just because he needed their support. Gitz Rice, composer of the famous War ditty, "Mademoiselle from Armentieres," actually forgot the word of his own song on a recent "We, the People" broadcast. Abbott and Costello, the Kate Smith comedians, combine an un usual set of show experiences. Abbott studied to be a lion trainer, and Costello was a movie stunt man.

Sunda Love, a name popular with "Stepmother" audiences, is really coined from the star's proper name, which is Louise Sundalove. Edwin C. Hill and Elmer Davis, Columbia newscaster heard but a short distance apart on your radio nightly, lived only fifteen minutes apart in their childhood. Both hail from Aurora, Indiana. Wednesday Guest Star I i i DENNIS KING Dennis King, the hero of scores of stage successes, is the Wednesday guest of Texaco Star Theatre in a radio version of the role of Dascom Dinsmore of "Petticoat Fever" a role in which he was an international star (9 to 10 p.

King, who is to be introduced to CBS listeners by drama critic Burns Mantle, played the Dins more part at Philadelphia's Chestnut Theatre in 1934; at the Ritz Theatre in New York, 1935, and at Daly's in London, 1936. The play," by Mark Reed, tells the story of a wireless operator whose "wild oats have been sowed, and the future stretches before him, heartbreakingly womanless." Near his "radio shack" a plane crashes and beautiful Ethel Cam pion with her fiance, Sir James Fenton, literally fall from the skies. There are no railroads, no repair equipment for the plane, and Dascom Dinsmore's calls for help via radio are none too enthusiastic because of the fair dam sel. Into this situation comes one of Dinsmore'c cast off fiancees and the four cornered "triangle" creates some mirthful complications. "Petticoat Fever" is heard dur ing the New York half of Star Theatre's hour long show.

Effective immediately, the Hol lywood originated portion of the CBS Star Theatre will change for mat to resume the policy of using guest players in the first half hour of the sixty minute show. The Murray Family idea will be replaced by an additional vocal sung by Frances Langford. The present personnel of the west coast portion remains the same, plus the guest players being lined up for future broadcasts. iWorkshopDoes MacLeish Poem A La Cantata Nicolas Nabokof Russian American composer, educator and lecturer commissioned by the "Columbia Workshop" to set Archibald Macl ieish's epic poem, "America Was Promises," to music, has completed a cantata on it for bass and contralto with male chorus and orchestra, and the ambitious work is to receive its world premiere over WHP and the Col umbia network Thursday, 10.15 to 10.45 p. m.

Nabokoff is head of the music department at Wells College, Aurora, N. and has an imposing list of performed works to his credit. He has collaborated before with MacLeish, who is the noted American poet and Librarian of Congress. In 1934 their ballet Union Pacific" was introduced by the Monte Carlo Russian Ballet, in whose repertory it remained for three highly successful seasons. "America Was Promises" ap peared last November in the 25th anniversary edition of The New Republic emphasizing "the promise of American life." Nabokoff, calling it "the greatest work since Walt Whitman," submitted the poem with the author's approval to the "Columbia Workshop" as a subject for musical composition.

The result was the commission.
