An estimated 55 million Americans proved it last Monday, evening when they tuned in "Jack and the Beanstalk” in Color and black-and-white on Producers * Showcase over NBC. This was the largest audience to watch a 90-minute show in tfye his - lory of television. It attracted a 75% greater audience than the aver¬ age of the three competing half-hour shows* on the second network. Not since the two memorable two-hour Producers’ Showcase pro¬ ductions if: ftfary Martin’s "Peter Pan” has sheer enchantment held so vast an audience spellbound. "Jack and the Beanstalk” was an authentic television original—a triumph of bold, creative, live programming. It demonstrated once again television’s unique ability to capture a nation’s interest and attention through one show on one network. "Jack and the Beanstalk” was another NBC landmark in the development of live television. It was what people have come to expect from the network which introduced the 90-minute Spectacu¬ lar, and is now the only one to continue this dynamic program form.
