HOLLYWOOD Dan Jenkins reports: Desilu has sold its new JUNE HAVOC series, The Artful Miss Dodgeri in record time. General Mills snapped it up and is putting it on ABC on Friday nites, replacing The Stu Erwin [Trouble with Father] Show^ Another Desilu entry, December Bride, is the inside bet to replace RED BUTTONS on CBS Monday nites, immediately fol¬ lowing Lucy . That’s a Desilu show too. NBC's The Medic, which is to buck Lucy next fall, goes into full production at American National Studios here next month. Judging from the pilot film, this show--by original Dragnet writer JIM MOSER--is going to do for the medical profession what Dragnet has done for the cops. A number of sponsors are interested in the JOAN CRAWFORD, JANE WYMAN and CLAUDETTE COLBERT film series, but the stumbling block is the almost complete lack of good network time. All three shows will probably be held back until the 1955-56 season. * * * WANDA HENDRIX could have been famous by now, but she turned down the original My Little Margie role because she didn't like the script. GALE STORM didn't particularly like it either, but she figured it would get better as it went along. She was right . . . The Red Sk elton Show gets a lift July 28 with the appearance of ANNA MARIA ALBER- GHETTI. If you haven't seen her yet, see her. Miss Brooks starts repeating itself July 2 for the summer run . . . McCadden Corp.(BURNS & ALLEN) plans to make 39 Craig Rice TV films starring BARBARA STANWYCK. Outfit has already shot two” JACK BENNY films for next season . . . DON MARLOWE, the actor who walked out on a CBS audition because he didn't know the stony- faced audience was made up chiefly of CBS execs, invited them all to come to his night club opening and walk out on him. BARBARA BRITTON goes to South Carolina this summer to do the JUDY HOLLIDAY role in "Born Yesterday" . . . JOAN SHAWLEE,_ who has specialized in sexy comic roles, plays a menace in an upcoming TV dramatic film because "I want to find out if I'm not my type."... I Love Lucy, starting in the fall, may switch its plot locale from New York to Holly¬ wood. And the following season may find the show playing against a European background. A recent dramatic film featured the portrait of a stern-faced grandfather who, although long since dead, still dominated the family. Characters kept pointing at his picture on the wall and saying nasty things about him. What the producer and prop man apparently didn't know: portrait used was that of HENRY WADS¬ WORTH LONGFELLOW. Thank you, Aunt Hester, that night school education of yours has finally paid off.
