fender, David Brian’s Mr. District Attorney. Also set is the Mickey Rooney show, Hey, Mulligan!, an NBC property in which Rooney is cast as a network page who can’t do any¬ thing right. The pilot film was one of the funniest in recent memory. Most of the others exist only as pilot film “samples”; some will never get that far. Almost certain to make the grade by the beginning of next season, how¬ ever, are a few hand-tooled series. A fairly sure thing is Joan Crawford’s projected series, The World and I, with the star cast as a newspaper¬ woman. Jane Wyman also has com¬ pleted a pilot film, but it has no title as yet and no one is willing to talk about it. ABC, in conjunction with Hal Roach, Jr., has financed four pilots: White Collar Girl, with Laraine Day; Pass¬ port to Adventure, with Cesar Ro¬ mero; Tales of a Wayward Inn, with ^ Celeste Holm didn't wait for NBC to find " a purchaser for her Caroline TV series. Brian Aherne; and The Joe E. Brown Show. All four are reported “on the verge of a sale,” but Roach seems closer to bingo! with his new Lassie series, starring five dogs of that name. (Across town, Screen Gems is rush¬ ing work on a Rin Tin Tin series.) CBS is readying a combined live- film series based on an old radio favorite, The Line-Up, with Warner Anderson and Tom Tully. The net¬ work may also air a series starring Dick Powell in the Willie Dante role he has played several times on Four Star Playhouse. Piles And Piles Of Pilots NBC may schedule a TV version of Robert Young’s Father Knows Best and may or may not be blessed with Jack Webb’s Pete Kelly’s Blues. The network already has made pilots of Oops, It’s Daisy! with Helen Halpin and Mary Costa; H. J. Moseby, De¬ cent Citizen, with William Demarest, and It’s a Great Life, with James Dunn and Michael O’Shea. Desilu Productions is now busy with two pilots: Spring Byington’s December Bride and Charles Coburn’s Country Doctor. NBC is stuck, for the moment, with a pilot Celeste Holm made over a year ago titled Caroline. Because it didn’t sell immediately, Miss Holm went on to other things and is currently unavailable. Other good bets include the new Ellery Queen series with Hugh Mar¬ lowe, The Westerner with James Craig, Men of Justice with Gene Lockhart, Where Were You? with Ken Murray, Dr. Christian with Jean Hersholt, Truth or Consequences with Jack Bailey, For the Defense with Edward G. Robinson, Johnny Night- hawk, Outlaws of the Century, Au¬ thors Playhouse and The Damon Runyon Playhouse. 17
