◄ Milton plans a camera angle as he rehearses Molly Gold¬ berg (Mrs. Gertrude Berg) and stand-in Jack Collins. Right: the same skit as it appeared on the telecast. ► Berfe Directs Berfe BIT PLAYER IMPERSONATES UNCLE MILTIE AT REHEARSALS If you hear Milton Berle talking to himself, don’t be alarmed. He is just telling Milton and everyone else with¬ in earshot how to act, how to dance, how fast to play the music and where to place the television cameras.

That’s why he uses a full-time stand-in, Jack Collins, who substitutes for Milton until the final dress rehearsal on the day of the tele¬ cast. But Collins is not fated always to blush unseen.
