Betty Grable & Co.: she twinkled for CBS. “Panama Hattie,” with Ethel Merman in the starring role. It was terrible. The CBS musical series, Shower of Stars, has had Betty Grable, Harry James, Mario Lanza and other stars. Glorified vaudeville, the Showers have been quite entertaining. Max Liebman has maintained high standards, with characteristics of his old Show of Shows showing through quite often. Judy Holliday, Steve Al¬ len and Dick Shawn are often funny. The shows’ high points come when such guests as Jeanmaire and Jacques Tati are on stage—or when Holliday, Allen and Shawn do a musical num¬ ber. Liebman achieved real beauty and a moral victory with “Lady in the Dark,” in which Ann Sothern scored. This followed the much-discussed Betty Hutton appearance in “Satins and Spurs,” in which the bouncy film star was fine but the show itself was spotty.— P.M. 21
