8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, October 16, 19SS Ewald Feels Decay in Ginger Rogers Show il - -Tlhad Vsrys u By WILLIAM EWALD Uniled Press International New York UPD There was a feeling of decay and a smell of must about Wednesday r-fWF night's CBS-TV some one made I joke about Ma jor Bowes i Pons' or Phil leakers accor- I dioa or sug- I ffctH that wa all dance the William Ewald conga, it would not have surprised me at all As a matter of fact, at one point during the hour a broth er named Ritz made a joke about Eddie Cantor wanting a boy, . and at another junc ture, Miss Rogers did dance the continental. The strange thing about it all, of course, is that Miss Rog ers has been moved up to cul ture goddess status in recent years because she seems to have discovered some secret wellspring of youth. At the age of 47, Miss Rogers has more spring and bounce than a new pogo stick and I'm sure most matrons go into spasms of jealous agony when her manikin waist swivels "in view. Not Enough However, youthful looks and bounce are not quite enough to carry off a show, Witness Joan Crawford's dis mal guest shot on the Bob Hope show Tuesday night in an empty sketch, the only pur pose of which was to demon strate that Miss Crawford, now past 50, is holding up well Miss Rogers also is holding up superlatively well, but un fortunately, she is a perform er of limited talent. Her sing ing is abysmal and her danc ing is pleasantly nimble, but undistinguished without fire or style or originality. It's no secret that in the dancing de partment, the genius of Fred Astaire carried Miss Rogers through all those wonderful years of the 30's. As for the rest of the show, Ray Bolger contributed one wonderfully archaic dance number in bowling with six ponies from the chorus and I enjoyed it immensely. Un happily, Bolger didn't dance enough. Three Brother There were also three brothers named Ritz on' the show who may be comedy's only living artifacts. I give you this sample of one of their jokes Ritz brother: "I'm Wyatt (burping) Burp." Or take this one: Brother .A: "I bring you a bowl of soup." Brother B: "What kind of soup?" Brother A: "It's slop!" As I ..said, you take it. I don't want it. Or them. The Channel Swim: The Deal that called for an oil firm (Texaco) to sponsor a new Nat Hiken one-hour se ries, "Man of the Hour," fell through Wednesday the CBS-TV show centers around the testimonial dinners of the Friars Club. CBS-TV's Ed Sul livan will film a show in In dia early next year. CBS-TV nighttime "Arthur Godfrey Show" notched an al most unbelievably low 5.6 Trendex Tuesday night op posite it, ABC-TV's "Rifle man" had a 23.1 and NBC TV's Bob Hope a 29.2 in his first half-hour. The long-time lipstick sponsor of CBS-TV's "The $64,000 Question" is un happy with the show's rat ings, but is committed for 26 weeks of the quiz. Hayden's Ex-Wife Wins Latest Round Hollywood-flJPD-Actor Ster ling Hayden's ex-wife Betty has won the latest round in what may well turn out to be a battle for custody of the couples four children.
