Joseph Santley Takes New
Entertainment Media in
But Forgets Acting
BY JACK GAVER
' New York (U.R) When they
invent another new entertain
ment medium, you can -bet on
one thing. Joseph Santley will
find something to do in it.
, This versatile showman has
settled down in New York for
the time being to deal with a
little television problem that
involves turning out 78 filmed
programs starring Patti Page
and her songs for Screen Gems,
Inc. beginning July 5, these 15
minute shows will be visible on
CBS at 7:45 p.m. Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
"These musical vignettes may
sound like a simple thing to do,"
observed Santley, producer-director
of the series, "but in
many ways these are more diffi
cult than doing long shows. In
a very limited time you have to

establish the mood for three or
four songs and give the feeling
of production. You have to
achieve maximum effect with a
minimum of everything except,
of course, in this case there is
no minimum of talent.
"The country knows Patti
well as a singer, thanks to the
tremendous sales of her record
ings. But she is considerably
more than a singer. I've done
everything in show business for
a long time, and I'll say that
she'll have only those limits as
an entertainer that she sets her
self. She has a quick grasp of
direction, an application for
work that is astounding and she
is an actress, no mere projector
of songs."
Santley recalled that, un
knowingly, he got the training
many years ago that makes it
possible for him to be at home
with the short musical format.
"It was in vaudeville, natural
ly" he said. "Between Broadway
Musicals" Santley and his wife,
Ivy Sawyer, used to be one of
the great stage teams . "My
wife and I would take vaudeville
engagements and . we'd put on
just about the sort of musical
vignette that I'm doing now. I
wrote, staged and acted in them.
"But when I went into the
movies, I was smart enough to
forget about the acting and con
centrate on writing, directing
and producing. You last longer
that way."
After 16 years in Hollywood,
turning out film after film, tele
vision caught up with Santley,
who didn't hesitate to tackle the
new medium from 'the ground
up. In the past five years he's
turned out some of NBC's , big
gest musical extravagances, in
cluding the old "AH Star Revue,"
some of the "Colgate Comedy
Hours" and the Mickey Rooney
filmed series.
"I'll stick with television until
they find some other way to
bring boy, girl and song together
and then I'll try that," Santley
said.

confusing," he
Hollywood (U.R) Richard
Boone, the doctor on TV's "Med
ic," has won starring roles in mo
tion pictures I1 9 ir-r-a
because of his
video success,
but even there
his medical
role still haunts
him. "Universal-International
wanted me
to play a doc
tor in 'Away
All Boats, but
I thought it
would be too
groaned today.
"So they gave me the role of
a 'stony-faced army officer'
and there I am looking like the
doctor in 'Medic' again." ..
The story of Boone is a case
history of how a role can in
fluence the life of an actor.
Many fans think Boone is a
real doctor and are crushed to
hear he isn't. Once a clinic
thought so, too, and called to
hire him. He receives fan mail
from doctors. He has lectured on
"Medics" to raise 8265,000 for
Los Angeles new Mount Sinai
hospital.
Admires Doctors
Most of his working days are
spent in a white coat with a
stethoscope dangling from his
neck. When he attends boxing
matches, the crowd yells for him
to patch up the wounded fight
ers. '
By now, confessed Boone, he
even wishes he were a doctor.
"I envy doctors," he admitted.
"It's a tremendous profession, a
way of life.
"This acting business is a
career of ego, in different cos
tumes. It's selfish.
"Doctors at the hospitals dress
in small rooms with steel lock
ers. They don't complain. But
you take actors! If their dressing
rooms aren't redecorated, man,
you're gonna hear about" it, and
how."
Boone first did "Medic" as a
radio show years ago and was
paged for the TV version. He has
starred in nine out of 29 "Medic"
episodes and hosted the rest.
Back, on Medic ''
"I've been criticized for look
ing serious on the show but I
watched real doctors at work
and they concentrate very hard,"
he said. "When you're doing a
story about leukemia, where are
the jokes? But I guess some peo-
Finns Less Jittery
Than U.S. About Reds
Portland '(U.R) The consul
general of Finland said here last
night there are more jitters in
America over the strength of
Russia's Air Force than there are
in Finland which borders on the
Soviet Union.
Artturi Lehtinen, who is Fin
land's permanent United Na
tions observer, added that the
jitters are understandable be
cause "it is the first time in
their Americans history that
there has been threat of attack."
He said Finland right now is
more concerned with internal
problems. Finland and Russia
are enjoying good relationships,
he added.

Boone now is paged for starr
ing movie roles mostly doctors
at twice his former picture sal
ary. But next season he also will
be back on "Medic, " and work
ing on even more startling cases.
The producers decided to "stay
with medicine and operations
and away from the soap opera
plots."
Actor Boone flunked at his
one attempt to play doctor in
real life.
On the "Away All Boats''
location in the Virgin Islands,
his wife became ill. He thought
she had an upset stomach but
the island doctor discovered it
was appendicitis1.
