PAGE 2 A IfERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1933 Television Host Detests Being Called A 'Fixture' By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (AP) - To Garry Moore the most frightening word in the language of television is "fixture." .Hearing himself referred to as a' program "fixture" last season after years as the genial host of the CBS-TV morning show, he de cided to unfix himself and strike out. into .the wild black nightrime of television. The result: Next Tuesday the hourlong weekly Garry Moore Show will make its debut on CBS-TV. "If this flops, it's entirely my own fault and no one else's." says Moore. "I have a wonderlul staff and CBS has given me every con cei'vable help." One of the most modest and level-headed performers on tele vision, Moore doesn't wish to pose as a hero in giving up a sure thing with his morning show in order to gamble on the hazards of a weekly nighttime show. "Don't forget I'm still doing I ve Got A Secret, he said "That's an anchor to windward and I'm not courting starvation or anything. I .simply mean that when you become a 'fixture' you're likely to get fat, dumb and happy. The creative sfde of en fertainment has always been my biggest interest, and the new show is enabling me to be creative." Moore admits his new show must' come under the category of "variety," although he dislikes the connotations of. the word in some minds. "But that's the only for matanother word I dislike that's big enough and loose enough to describe what we hope to do." The emphasis will be on crea tive ideas and good writing rath er than tig-name stars. It s not the name of. a guest (hat counts on a program," he said. "It's what you. do with him.' His guests next Tuesday will be Johnny Mathis. Janis Paige, Red Skelton, Bob Kcefe and Charlie Cantor. But he declines to say specifically what they will do on the sound theory that it's belter viewers should ser for themselves.
