The Douglas Fairbanks Show Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., has come as close as any producer to solving the problem of how to present interesting stories week after week in a half-hour dramatic show. He follows the pre¬ scribed course in ranging from grim melodrama to family comedy and farce. But his stories are seldom in¬ sipid and some are taut enough to rank with the best TV thrillers. The occasional off-beat quality of the scripts makes the show well worth watching. The series is filmed in Europe, chiefly in England, which makes for interesting sets. If a haunted castle is called for, he has a real one handy. Besides producing, Fairbanks serves as program host and occasional star. It’s no secret that Fairbanks is an Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.: he can act. adept actor, and the stories in which he stars are usually good. Working in England as he does, he also has the opportunity of presenting some of the best-known British actors, who put the finishing touch to the show’s highly-professional quality. FINE TUNING OILIE CRAWFORD Repeat shows provide much of sum¬ mer programming. Most everything is coming back except Little Sheba. • Even the River of No Return was thinking about returning. • This is the first summer that every¬ thing is repeating like fried onions for breakfast. They have everything but a hot buttered version of Toast of the Town. The winter programs turned out to have been just the coming at¬ tractions for the summer. • Everybody is burning the candles at both ends except Liberace. The cowboy who used a six-gun all winter has a summer repeater. Uncle Pete is out with a show called Uncle Repeat. The next step will be to re¬ place Meet Millie with You've Met Millie , and introduce a big new sum¬ mer show called What’s My Same Old Line. • One Englishman is laughing at all the summer shows, but it turns out he is just getting the winter jokes. • Another guy was so absent-minded he watched three summer repeat shows and went out to shovel snow off the driveway. 21
