Danny Thomas TV Show
Becoming Something
Of Video Institution
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Hollywood
Correspondent
Hollywood - ilW - A suc
cessful television show in this
age of quick flops is judged
a runaway hit if it lasts a full
season.
That being the case, Danny
Thomas is something of an
institution.
His scries is in its eighth
year and gives no signs of
slowing down.
What is Danny's explanation
for the program's longevity?
"Casting," he says.
"When the casting is exact
ly right the psychological ef
fect is astonishing. The iden
tification is tremendous. It is
an entirely different thing
than casting motion pictures.
"Another thing that helped
us stay on the air was the
switch in networks. When 'I
Love Lucy' went off the air
we moved into the same time
slot.
Entirely New Audience
A new time on a new eve
ning brings in an entirely dif
ferent audience. We brought
along some of our own view
ers and inherited many of the
'Lucy fans.
"There is another important
aspect of our longevity. A
TV show is more than a pile
of scripts with a cast and
crew.
"Everybody involved with
the series takes suggestions
and script changes. During
rehearsals we all pitch in with
ideas to improve the dialogue
and other elements of the
story."
Danny demonstrated this
during a rehearsal. Frequent
ly members of the cast and
crew would change a line
when they thought it would
get more laughs or prove
more effective dramatically.
Perfectly Cast Show
He suggested the reason for
the success of "The Real Mc
Coys" in which he is a partner
is that every part in perfectly
cast. For this reason he be
lieves another of his proper
ties, "The Andy Griffith
Show," will have a. lengthy
run.
"The longer you are on the
air the more difficult it gets
to . find the right kind of
scripts," Danny said.
"The old writers find it
hard to come up with new
ideas, and the new ones turn
in scripts only to discover
we've already done them.
We've made 231 shows so far
and we're still in there pitch
ing. "Our contract calls for us
to complete this season. The
sponsor has an option for next
fall, which means we may be
back again next year."
Hoof Gibson in
Satisfactory Condition
Las Vegas-UPD-Hoot Gibson,
66, oldtime cowboy actor was
reported in satisfactory condi
tion today following major
abdominal surgery.
The operation Wednesday
was the second in 10 days for
removal of an intestinal ob
struction, and attendants at
Southern Nevada Memorial
Hospital said a third opera
tion was being planned for
in about two weeks.
More Apartments
Planned at U of 0
Eugene - (UPD - The Oregon
State Board of Higher Educa
tion has recommended plan
ning of an additional 52
apartment units for married
students and instructed archi
tects to proceed with plans for
a three-story dormitory build
ing for the University of Ore
gon. The new building, to house
two dorrris and accommodata
720 students, would be con
structed at an estimated cost
of $3.3 million.
The total cost of the apart
ments was estimated at $335,
700 plus architects fees.
