FINE TUNING By OLLIE CRAWFORD K ING LEAR joins Shakespearean plays on television. In time, this boy Shakespeare could become an¬ other Jack Webb. • In King Lear, so many people get polished off, the next show may be sponsored by Bright-O. • King Lear gives everything to his daughters, and they give, him the works, too. They cut down his allow¬ ance so much, the old boy couldn’t even afford to shave. He didn’t have any place to lay his head, except may¬ be on the chopping block. He wan¬ dered all over the country, complain¬ ing about his old age pension. • This boy had enough trouble to keep Life Can Be Beautiful going for two full years. • Everything happened to Lear ex¬ cept a sudden attack of appendicitis, which hadn’t been invented yet. If there was as much bloodshed at Madi¬ son Square Garden, the referee would stop the fight. Friend of ours tried to play in King Lear, but he couldn’t stand the sight of blood. • It wasn't a small studio, but they still had to pile the corpses three deep. • New York police grabbed a guy buying 27 knives, a hangman’s noose and a gallon of poison. Turned out to be the stage manager for King Lear.
