S) Raymond Gram Swing Red: Wings of Destiny SATURDAY MBS: Spotlight Bands CBS: Newt of the World This is Milton Berle's idea of co-star Laughton as Capt. Bligh HAVE YOU TUNED IN... Three-Ring Time, starring Milton Berle and Charles Laughton, with Shirley Ross and Bob Crosby's band, sponsored by Ballantine's Beer. Until and including the broadcast of December 5, this comedy-variety show will be on Mutual network stations, Friday nights at 9:30, E.S.T., but on December 12 it changes networks and time, moving to NBC-Blue at 8:30. Milton Berle is one of those comedians who go on the theory that if you tell enough jokes, and tell them fast enough, some of them are bound to be good, and those that aren't so good will be quickly forgotten. He can tell five jokes a minute on any given subject, going on that way for a couple of hours without repeating himself. Frequently he delivers a clinker, as when he introduced his mother to the studio audience as "The Ziegfeld Berle," but on the other hand he often comes up with a story like the one about the actor who went to the premiere of his new picture at Grauman's Chinese Theater, where the cement courtyard is full of stars' footprints. "The picture was so bad," Milton relates, "that when the star came out of the theater his own footprints kicked him in the pants." Charles Laughton's comic style is quieter than Milton's, and toward the end of the show he stops being funny entirely and presents a serious reading of some wellknown poem or piece of literature. For this part of the program a bright spotlight is focused on Charles as he stands alone in the center of the stage. It's a dramatic effect, but that isn't the only reason it's used. The reading requires intense concentration, and the bright light has the effect of shutting off all the other people on the stage and in the audience from Charles so that he feels quite alone and able to concentrate.
