Missing From Backstage
Dear Editor:
Why isn't Bartlett Robinson on Backstage Wife any more?
R. J., Peoria, III.
Bartlett Robinson, who was formerlyheard as Rupert Barlowe in Backstage Wife and also played in Valiant Lady, left the casts of these daytime serials to take part in the Broadway hit plav, "Point of No Return."
Burr's Story
Dear Editor:
Please give me some information on Burr Tillstrom of Kukla, Fran and Ollie.
G. P., Stamford, Conn.
The originator of the TV show which delights kids and grownups alike was born in Chicago. As a child he was fascinated with marionettes and often entertained playmates with his homemade puppets. After studying dramatics in high school, Tillstrom won a scholarship to the University of Chicago but left for a job with the WPA Theatre. His first real creation, Kukla, was born in 1936 and together they gave shows in state fairs, night clubs and vaudeville. A pioneer in TV, Burr first presented the Kukla, Fran and Ollie show on television in Chicago. The six-foot bachelor keeps in touch with children's interests by collecting fairy tales. Burr's an expert swimmer and also enjoys taking long trips on bicycle. If he had time for a hobby, Tillstrom would like to study archaeology. Another unfulfilled desire is to build model ships, or planes.
