Hy Earl Pprriit President, Perrin-Paus, Chicago and Wir York When our client, Sunbeam Corporation, invests $160,000 on one show, built around one star, we want to protect that investment under any circumstances. For example, on September 12th. the Subeam Corporation, through PerrinPaus, sponsored the first 45 minutes of ihe Max Liebman color Spectacular on NBC TV, starring Betty Hutton. Without Miss Hutton there could have been no show since this musical comedv was built around her personality. With other t\pe shows, such as half-hour dramas, comedy situations, or variety shows, an understudy could step in at the last moment and be acceptable to the client and the viewing audience. But at the recent hour-and-a-half Spectacular, built and rehearsed for many weeks around one personality, you would have to take into consideration not onl\ the sponsors desire, but the viewing audience. Therefore with a disappointment to the vast television >liow like this there was no way to prepare for an unforseen incident. The show simpK could not have gone on without Miss Hutton and some film programing would have been inserted in its place b\ the network, probably on a sustaining basis. This example dramatizes the problems faced by ad\ertising agencies associated with costly television productions. \ similar situation exists in the commercial handling. When a client invests mi main thousands of dollars to showi ase his merchandise, it is of equal importance to protect the commercials from all contingencies. We provide understudies for Peg Murdoch and Bob Sheppard. the Sunbeam stars. In the case of our Ethel and Albert show for Sunbeam, illness of one of the performers would again be too big a problem to solve with an understudv. It wouldn t make sense to have a strange face "masquerading" as one of the Ethel and Vlbert duo. We would use a kinescope of an earlier show in I lie -cries. Certainly television has again w idened the realm in which an advertising agency operates this time b\ bringing the agenc) into show business. NOW, more than ever...
