Betty Hutton’s Biggest One-Night Stand NEW STAR, NEW SONGS, NEW STORY FOR 90-MINUTE RUN ON TV Television enters a new era on this Sunday night—the era of what might be called The 90-Minute Hit, or A Broadway Season In One Night. For the date marks the TV debut of Betty Hutton. This is not particularly remarkable in itself, Miss Hutton be¬ ing close to the last available star to take the plunge. What Miss Hutton is doing, how¬ ever, threatens to create an entirely new concept of what is known as The Hit Show. The atmosphere surround¬ ing this particular effort has all the earmarks, save one, of the dear old days of the hit Broadway musical— the kind you’ve seen depicted so often in the movies. The producer is a doll. The star is a big and important name. The songwriters are champions. The star gives a wonderful party for the producer. Photographers are all over the joint. Show songs take every place 'Satins and Spurs': Betty Hutton does equally well with both in song, dance, and rodeo role in the TV extravaganza.
