TELEVISION IN REVIEW-
'Toast To Jerorpe Kern' Said
Entertaining Vjdeo Viewing
By FRED DANZIG
UPI Stiff Writr
NEW YORK il'PI i Sometimes
the simpler the idea, the better
the show.
Take Tuesday night's NBC-TV
special, A Toast to Jerome Kern.
The writer-producer. Bob wells,
hired a brigade of singers and
dunceri to bat out the tunes by
Kern for abovt 90-mlnutes. Re
sults: pleasant listening 'most of
the time) and attractive viewing
'most of the timei.
My qualified praise is due to
lapses such as a raucously up
tempo and tasteless version ot
Yesterdays", the toothy inept-
ness of host Bob Cummings and
some attempts at jokes that -were,
to say the least, superfluous in a
show of this sort.
Highlights were dances by Bam-
bi Linn and her new partner,
Klly Brown, to "Poor Pierrot"
and "All the Things You Are".
And an exciting choreographed
1 Won't Dance." Another pet bit
was a 15-year-old film clip of a
Gene Kelly ballet from "Cover
Girl." It held its own and then
some, with the current dances.
I was sorry that somehow, a
picture of Jerome Kern wasn't
shown on camera. 1 along with
about a minute's explanation of
his life, his work, etc. Since this
was a toast to his memory, some
background would have given the
show a more meaningful, intimate
spirit.' : "
1 watched only half of ABC-TV's
new hour-long Western, Bronco
because I wanted to be on hand
for all of the Dennis O'Keefe show
on CBS-TV.
See what TV reviewers go
through at this time of year; how
we are continually being torn be
tween first one treasure and then
another? 1 "
What I saw of Bronco, which
stars Ty Hardin, came as a sur
prise. I'm not referring to my
surprise to watching some of the
worst acting and directing ever
seen on TV, but of the opening
scene. Hardin appeared- in a row-
boat yes, a rowboat off the
California coast after a ship-'
wreck. Now, that's the most west
ern a Western can ever get. The
half I saw seemed to be imita
tive of the Maverick style, but
Hardin & Co., were way off
course. Incidentally, my reference
to "worst acting" applies to sup
porting players who shall be
nameless not to Hardin, who
seemed embarrassed by if all,
too.
The O'Keefe show's problems
seem to be that the writers aren't
bothering to write real jokes.
They must figure the laughter is
always there pre-recorded, yoti
know so why waste time dream
ing up gags to go with it? '
The play is a newspaper col
umnist 'for realism, he's a jerk
and a madcap) and Tuesday
night he had to escort a teen-age
girl to night clubs. O'Keefe
matched the fatigued characteri
zations and dreary dialogue with
a comedy style that consisted of
bugging his eyes, wrinkling his
brow and pursing his lips (some
times simultaneously!. But my,
how he gets laughs on that sound
track.
' The Channel Swim: Art Car
ney's appearance in "Our Town"
has been advanced to Friday,
Nov. 13 on NBC-TV Instead of Jan.
8, which means his originally
scheduled November special,
"The Man in the Dog Suit." Is
being postponed Indefinitely.
Arthur Godfrey, noting the good
reviews his first CBS-TV special
received last week, told a New
York audience on Tuesday, "You
will never again see me on the
TV screen unless I've rehearsed,
rehearsed, rehearsed. . .'
A series based an U.S. Immi
gration Service filea, Port of En
try, is being financed by NBC-TV.
Desi Arnaz, who plays a dramatic
role in the Desilu Playhouse pro
duction, "So Tender, So Profane,"
on CBS-TV this season, has signed
Margo and Pedro Armendarez in
co-starring roles. Perry Como will
have John Payne, Dorothy Collins,
German singer Ivo Robic, on his
second Wednesday night show for
NBC-TV on Oct, 1.. Add to the
star-studded guest roster for NBC
TV's Oct. 25 "Tribute to Eleanor
Roosevelt on her Diamond Jubi
lee" now, there's a title t : Har
ry S. Truman, Helen Hayes, Ed
die Cantor and the New York
Philharmonic.

On Oregon Coast
Is Debunked '
i
COOS BAY (UPI) Sen. Rich
ard Neuberger (D-Ore.) has noti
fied local officials that a so-called

dumped overboard from a Navy
picket ship at sea oft Port Orford.
The barrel was marked "radio

Hollingsworth told Neuberger In
a letter that "we were unable to

appears to us to hav been the
result of a prank.

UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD ' (UPli-Vincent
Price, who surrounds himself with
great works of art, is making a
living acting in movies best de
scribed as great works of junk.
In the past few years Price has
starred in such goodies as "The
Fly." "The Return of the Fly,"
House on Haunted Hill ' and
'The Bat." All were third-rate
horror pictures.
They all made money, , is
Price's simple explanation.
I'd prefer to make more artis
tic, important pictures. Who
wouldn't? But in a period where
few people go to see movies at
all, it's good to be appearing in
films that are well attended.
Too many producers make
movies for one another saying,
Isn't this a great, significant pic
ture?' Maybe so, but they are the
only ones who see them.
Entertaining Films
"And the critics make me ang
ry when they say my pictures
aren't artistic successes. They're
not made to be great just entertaining."
Actually, Price leads a double
life. Almost half his time is spent
touring the country on lecture
tours. He admits being the highest-paid
lecturer in the United
States topping Eleanor Roosevelt
and President Carlos Romulo of
the Philippines.
I earn more money making
horror movies," he said. "My two
yearly yours cover almost every
state in the union. I leave this
week for 55 dates in 60 days, lec
turing on 'Free American artist
James Whistler and Tennessee
Williams. . ' "
"You might say lecturing is my
avocation. No one can make a liv
ing at lecturing alone. The fact
This lea it made up from Information by Television Station and its
accuracy cannot be auarantead by the La Grand Obsarvar.
that I'm an actor places me in
demand."
Paintings Ot Unknowns
Price's Beverly Hills home ft
jammed with some 500 works of
art, mainly paintings by unknown
artists and pre-Columbian arti
facts. "I specialiie in American art
because I'm sick of snobs who
think all art originates In Eu
rope," he said. "And I have no
pretentions about art. I simply
like those things that I know best."
This was a subtle plug for Vin
cent's new book on art, "I Like
What I Know," which goes on sale
later this month.
"When I'm out on tour nobody
ever questions me about my mov
ies," Price laughed. "But starring
in horror pictures requires more
acting tiian other varieties.
"They're fun to make. But you
have to be super-serious to pre
vent them from being funny. If you
go one step beyond, you get
laughs in the wrong place.
Professor Says ,
His Assistant

NEW YORK i UPI I A St. Louis
