We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
I got a real bang out of Place the Face when Aldo Ray was brought face to face with Harold Donnell, his father-in-law, whom he’d never met . . . I tried, believe me I did, because of my profound admiration for Janet Blair but I just couldn’t stick with “Kitty Foyle’’ to the finish. Somewhere, somehow, the spark got lost ... I have a sneaking suspicion that Perry Co¬ mo’s hour-long show on a rival net¬ work next season is going to give Jackie Gleason’s The Honeymooners some stiff competition in the ratings department ... A summertime spot made George Gobel, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the same thing made Jonathan Winters, who gets better and better every time out in And Here's the Show. Steve Allen’s Tonight seems to have acquired sparkle and freshness since it moved to Hollywood. Not that I found anything wrong with the show before, but something new has been added and I can’t quite put my fin¬ ger on what it is . . . Add Great Expectations for the fall; A Max Liebman TV Spectacular of “Peg o’ My Heart” with Margaret O’Brien, Ezio Pinza and Franchot Tone . . . I trust that people who possibly made the late Eugene O’Neill’s ac¬ quaintance for the first time in “The Straw” will not begin wondering what all the shooting has always been for. That was one of O’Neill’s earliest and poorest plays, and ex¬ huming it was a libel on the distin¬ guished playwright’s memory. The sponsors of The $6Jf,000 Ques¬ tion have a real bargain. The pro¬ gram has been receiving a million dollars worth of free publicity in the newspapers ever since it began and on the basis of the cash that’s been shelled out so far, it doesn’t even come close to costing what a good half-hour dramatic or variety show would run. And I’ll still bet you that nobody will ever get up enough nerve to go for the full amount. Mrs. Catherine Kreitzer, the Bible-read- ing grandmother, did have me wor¬ ried there for a moment, however. I liked Jack Benny’s observation in the August issue of Pageant maga¬ zine: “I don’t try to be sensational. I just try to keep from being lousy” . . . The Windows series came up with a good hair-raiser in “Sublet,” which was so much better than the first one, “The Outing” . . . After “Dateline Disneyland,” despite its faults and omissions, I’ll wager that every parent’s life will be made ab¬ solutely miserable until he or she or both take their offspring to Walt Disney’s fantastic wonderland in California ... You know something, I was genuinely touched by the way Jimmy Durante did “September Song.” Almost but not quite as touched as I was when I first heard the late, great Walter Huston sing it in the Broadway hit, “Knickerbocker Holiday.” TV GUIDE A-9
