GROUP W MEANS SPECIALS FOR CHILDREN... cR(nneos o Juliets Would you know four versions of "Romeo and Juliet"? Children do. Children in Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. They've just seen a new Group W Special. "Romeos and Juliets." A bit of Shakespeare, some Gounod, deux pas from an original ballet, and music from "West Side Story." Four variations in one hour-long show. "Romeos and Juliets" is the kind of entertainment that does more than entertain. It awakens a child's mind. Introduces him to art and literature on his own terms. Over the past two years, Group W has been producing children's specials— thirteen in all. Programs of fun like "Magic, Magic, Magic" with Magician Milbourne Christopher, Julie Harris and Zero Mostel. Puppetry with Bil and Cora Baird and their marionettes. Children present a special challenge to a broadcaster. A challenge to stimulate their curiosity; open doors to new worlds. Group V, uses its creative, management and financial resources to make television for young people something very special through programs like "Romeos and Juliets."
