2 Jerry Lewis entertainers. While attending high school in Irvington, N.J., Jerry worked up a pantomime act to a background of records. His success with the act at Brown's Hotel, Loch Sheldrake, N.Y., brought him to the attention of several New York entrepreneurs and he was booked professionally for the first time in New York City. Four years later, in 1946, he teamed up with Dean Martin when they played the same bill at the 500 Club in Atlantic City. This partnership continued until the Fall of 1956 when both Martin and Lewis decided to pursue their careers on an individual basis. On Nov. 15, 1956, through York Productions, they Signed a new contract with NBC-TV which calls for two onehour programs during the January to June period of 1957 and eight one-hour shows annually for the four seasons thereafter, Present plans call for each performer to star in an equal number of shows. The Jan. 19 colorcast is the first of these. NBC-New York, 12/3/56
