 | John Calvert's rise to fame is a story of a young man from a small Indiana farm town, with a population of only 300, pursuing a career as a magician and actor, traveling continuously to every continent of the world, tirelessly performing even to this day. |
 | Initially Calvert resisted, but when Maxwell phoned, apologizing for asking him to perform at someone else's party, explaining that she was giving a party for about 90 of her most intimate friends and requesting that he appear, he relented. |
 | Calvert's first effort for Columbia was The Mark of the Whistler, the second in the famous "Whistler" series adapted from the popular radio show that was in turn adapted from a short story by Cornell Woolrich. |
