Richard Webb and Sheila Ryan. Captain Midnight if ever a show was designed strictly for the kid audience, it’s Captain Midnight. The good captain is a mod¬ ern-day do-gooder, equipped with a private jet plane, the latest scientific gadgets, and some that even science- fiction writers haven’t dreamed up yet. Undoubtedly over the heads of down-to-earth adults, the show should keep youngsters spellbound. Richard Webb (no relation to Drag¬ net's Jack) plays the captain effec¬ tively, zooming from his secret moun¬ tain base to thwart spies or track down criminals. Sid Melton provides the “comedy relief” as his sidekick, Ikky, and Olan Soule is Tut, the cap¬ tain’s scientist colleague. The show is skillfully produced by Hollywood’s Screen Gems.— R.S.

If you see a guy carrying a big bag anytime except Christmas Eve, it’s probably a bank robber. Some of the boys made such a big haul they made two trips. • The police should be able to identify them because they’re bowlegged from carrying all that loot. • This bank camera is expected to pick up some mugs who never heard of Garroway.

One false move, and on comes Jack Webb. • Up to now, the biggest thing you could watch on TV was Uncle Miltie stealing jokes. • The next big bank robbery could be just like the Brink’s holdup except that ... You Are There. 19
