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.

VENICE.' Italy- (AP)-Here
Venice there are no programs to
interrupt the TV commercials.
One after another, 698- commer
cials .from around the 1 world are
being shown in the week-long fifth
international festival of IV. Advertising.
wncn tnc carnival is over
Thursday, prizes will be given for
the ones' judged best by a 12-
member international jury.
It's hard to tell which commer
cials arc. in the running for prizes,
hut one thing is clear: TV adver
tising is pretty much the same
the world over,
Take an advertisement from
Malaya. Daddy comes home tired
and hungry after a long dav's
work. But supper isn't ready. Will
there be a family scene? Of
course not, The farpily has just
purchased a new gas stove to re
place its old charcoal burner. It's
cooking with gas and dinner will
be ready in a Jiffy.
In Argentina, a. pretty girl walks-
down the street with a dozen or
so gay blades fallowing her. Are
they attracted by her beauty? Qf
course not. She s the lady of a
certain brand of c'olfee. and it's
Ihe coffee aroma that is attract
ing the men.
A . lirty Danish -man becomes
something of a superman because
he cats a certain' kind of luncheon
meat. .
The audience seems to' love it
all. The. audience Is largely the
HflO delegates to the festival, and
their families. Thev are experts
in the husincss and como from

who expects a baby in December.
Then she. dropped another' bomb:
she spends only $71 a month on
her voune daughter in a town
where movie mothers think noth
ing of askinsr hundreds of dollars
monthly, for child .support.
Why. this low cost-ol-uving :
Javn'e said she and her muscle
man husband ftlickey Hargitay are
spending most of their money re
decorating their two-story Spanish
home.
"We could afford to buy furni
ture," says Mictcy, "but we don't-
have time to shop and buy exact
ly'what we-want and we can't
afford to make any. mistakes.
The -Harsitays plight came to
light, yesterday when Mickey ap
peared in court to answer a child
support plea, from his' ex-wiie
Mary.. She wants his monthly Sup
port for their daughter Tina, in-
creased from $230 to ' $415: The
matter was postponed until tomor

Jayne and Mickey later showed
newsmen how they managed . to
live a spartan life in plush Bever
ly Hills. Their home has no rugs.
no furnlure, no luxuries. .

"This ' is Hollywood glamour?
pouted Jayne. .
A. reporter estimated it cost mm
SOT. 50 a month for bare essentials
for his 6-year-old. And he' didn't
even live in Hollywood. So how
does Jayne do it?
Jayne had an answer: she said
Jayne' Marie, her 7-year-old
daughter by a previous. marriage,
goes to public school.
"we spend about S45 lo o a
month -on food and $15 a' month
for her clothing.-
This also includes two dental
and two - physical checkups a
year" . .
Does Jayne Marie sleep on me
floor too? ,.' j

the actress. "She sleeps in a nice

Lee didn't remain idle. He wrote

But it seemed nothing could

performance: as skillfully as- the
performancesof Art Carney, Mar

their styles didn't always mesh
well. . . . ,
I don t think it. Was anyoncs
fault, it was just that Miss Lome
and Smith leaning hard on stage
technique played ' -their roles
much larger than life. They
turned out. broad, exaggerated
portraits, " almost "caricatures of
people. But very 'funny carica-
tdres. ...
Carney and some of the lesser
players nojabjy Elizabeth Mont-
oincry underplayed a little.
Their acting, was very, television:
ish. As'' a result, MisS'-Lorne
and Smith tended to swallow ub
those in the- cast like Carney who

Tli is contrast of styles seemed
to give -"Harvey" an occasional
awkwardness, a hqrky-jerkiness of
