The 'Mickey Mouse Club' Is Pet Project—At Moment addition to 26 entirely new hour-long Disneyland shows, each of which will be shown twice during the new Octo- ber-to-October year, his bustling stu¬ dio will take to the air this week with the first of a brand new film series— the hour-long, five-a-week Mickey Mouse Club. “Why, we’ll be turning out 126 hours of film for these two shows,” ing from a “Meet The . . .” series (animal champions, wild horse round¬ up, shark hunt, elephant hunters, skin divers) to a “What I Want To Be” se¬ ries (airline pilot, airline stewardess).
