Peck's Bad Girl Winds
Up After A Skimpy Run
NEW YOKK 'I'PIi - I'tt-k's
Bad Girl buttoned up its season
Tuesday night after a skimpy run
of three months. It went out in
a blaze "of gloriosky.
It's both bewildering and sad
that the CBS-TV situation comedy
should have elected to take the
course it did. On the planning
board, it held some promise: A
father who was not a bumble
head, a mother who was neither
a conniver nor anti-man, a cou
ple of children of only medium
loathsomeness.
But the series quickly aban
doned its ground rules. It wal
lowed in corncake, milling the
standardly limp essays of its
genre each week, frittering itself
away on fribble. Father became,
if not precisely a bumblchead, a
kind of cheerful collaborator in
idiocy, mother became semi-aggressive,
the children were con
verted into caricatures, the plots
crumbled in a thick dust of homilies.
Tuesday night's finale scraped
hardpan for the scries. It had
something or other to do with a
trcehouse and bird watchers and
building . inspectors and dissolved
in a predictable puddle of gook
and good will.
It just goes to show you that
everything will turn out all right
u you have faith. . . said one of
participants in part at the close.
Well, the principal trouble with
Peck's Bad Girl is that it lacked
faith. Fittingly, everything turned
out rather badly.
Short Shots: Tuesday night's
CBS-TV Andy Williams Show was
scrumptious job beautifully
mounted, crisply paced, deftly
performed. Some of its sequences
were stunners: A "Too Darn Hot"
number with Williams and com
pany, a "Banana Boat Song"
piece with the Baird Marionettes
and a fine swinging version of
"Anything Goes-' by Williams.
The NBC-TV Jack Paar Show.
with Peggy Cass and Cliff Ar
quctte on board, turned out one
of its better efforts Tuesday night.
The NBC-TV Jimmie Iiodgers
Show, beamed at teen-asers when
it opened last March 31, has shift
ed its character radically since
then. Tuesday night's episode was
pitched rather frankly at the mid
dle years set to the extent that
four fugitives from the Lawrence
Welk Show the Lemmon Sisters
were mustered into service.
Th Channel Swim: Jerry Lewis
will star in "The Jazz Singer" an
adaptation of the 1927 Al Jolson
movie, in the NBC-TV Tuesday
night Ford series of specials.
Balph Bellamy. is a good bet to
star in "Thomas Jefferson." the
biographical drama special set for
NBC-TV Oct. 18.
Some of the shows on the plan
ning board for NBC-TVs Project
20 series this coining season in
clude "Mark Twain's America."
The Ragtime Era."', "Life In
The -3's" and "The Carefree
Years" the last

By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD UPI Tony
Perkins, an admitted non-athlete,
is playing a sports hero for the
second time in his career and
for the second time in a Sort
he's never seen.
Six-foot two-inch Tony began
work this week portraying a bas
ketball star. His. first outing as
a celluloid athlete was in the film
biography of baseball flash Jim
Piersall, "Fear Strikes Out."
Tony has never seen either
game played, and had never trod
on baseball diamond or basketball
court.
It's not that he's a lounge liz
ard. The slim, trim actor has
been too busy in other pursuits,
principally improving himself as
a performer.
Part of Acting
"Learning to handle these ath
letic roles is all part of acting."
he said during a Brown Derby
lunch. "So I've been busy work
ing out at the Warner Brothers
gym discovering what basketball
is all about.
"I spend about on hour and a
half a day dribbling, passing,
shooting baskets and going alter
rebounds. An hour and a half is
about all I can take. It's exhaust
ing. "I was amazed at the intricacy
and science involved."
Tony, who recently completed
"On The Beach" for Stanley
Kramer, is taking his chances in
"Tall Story."
Sports pictures, with a few ex
ceptions such as "Pride of the
Yankees," have bombed at the
boxofficc.
Busically A Comedy
"This movie is basically a ro
mantic comedy with a basketball
background," he explained. "The
emphasis is not on basketball, but
on the characters involved.
"I find it more difficult to pro
of a sport than into the charac
teristics of the person I'm por
traying. It's not easy to coordi
nate yourself into a relaxed, be
lievable athlete."
"After finishing this picture,
which Josh Logan is directing,
I'm going to do one for Alfred
Hitchcock," he said. "I need
strong directors to help me out
of my acting inhibitions. I'm nev
er sure I'm doing the right thing.
"This daily basketball practice
is invaluable for my own confi
dence in giving a convincing per
formance. When 'Fear Strikes
Cut' was released I received let
ters from ball players congratu
lating me on Hie reality of the
baseball scenes.
"I hadn't thought about it that
way, but an actor couldn't ask for
higher praise."
Michigan's Poet
Laureate Edgar
Guest, 77, Dies
DETROIT i UPI I Poet Edgar
A. Guest died early today at his
home here.
The 77-year-old poet laureate of
Michigan had been ill for several
years. His physician said death
was caused by a cerebral hem
orrhage. Guest, who has been called "the
poet of the plain people." had
been writing verses for more than
50 years. When he stopped count
ing in 1930. he estimated he had
written more than 30,000 poems.
His most famous book of- po
etry, "A Heap O' Living'," sold
more than a half a million copies
and resulted in a Detroit gram
mar school being named in his
honor.
Guest's verses have appeared
daily in the Detroit Free Press
for decades and he liked to con
sider himself a working newsman
jeet myself into the physical skiU rather than a poet.
