Roy Rogers and Dale Evans: luster for young lives. PROGRAM OF THE WEEK Rosalind Russell used to wonder mu¬ sically, in “Wonderful Town,” the smash Broadway hit, “Why, oh why, oh why-oh, did I leave Ohio?” This is a question which a lad from that great state, Roy Rogers, could answer with ease. Roy, his real-life wife, Dale Evans; his horse, Trigger; and his dog, Bul¬ let, have successfully combined forces (and we do mean financially, too) to outride, outshoot and outwit the bad¬ dies in the cowboy country. Indeed, some meanies insist the animals, who often appear to be the smartest mem¬ bers of the team, frequently save the day. The Rogers telefilms are beautifully filmed amid panoramic western vis¬ tas. Those in charge back up their photographic efforts with meticulous care in keeping the inevitable vio¬ lence to a minimum; in insisting the plots be cleanly written for the ju¬ venile audience; and in making cer¬ tain there’s nothing in the pictures to which parents could object. Let’s face it, adults: these films are among the better Westerns for the small ones—and gratifyingly enough, the children eat ’em up. The comedy is supplied by Pat Brady, Rogers’ bumbling sidekick, who rides around in a bucking jeep, bringing delighted squeals from the younger set. In case you haven’t seen the films lately, the only major change from earlier efforts lies in the fact that Rogers has abandoned his occasional songs in favor of straight action. And in case your children haven’t seen them, we suggest you tune in. 20
