H. sole Hodgson "The If3urence Mali" PHONE 24 EXETER. ,poking in with Liz: Hopes to see less 'energy ay ELIZABETH TQIJCHETTE I was glad to see that Peiter MacFarlane has been assigned the production duties on Hit Parade every second week. Per- haps now that his energy will be taken up by this extra show he will stop aver -producing the late night Juliette show. MacFarlane is undoubtedly .a ;line artist—Showtime has never ;been guile as good since :he left —but he isn't doing as sensitive a job with his current program. Syd Wayne, the former .Juli- ette Show producer, had the right idea when he said, "There is a definitee need for a low pres- sure show in the line-up. There's too much theatrical stuff on now and too many tinsel shows." It has been revealed that one reason so many musical shows fail is that: "They get so showy the performers aren't just folks any more." Well, Wayne ac, complished what he set out to; he night hallshoanw. easy -to -listen -to late •This season MacFarlane added the Romeos to the show and the group is a .distinct asset when it is allowed to sing the songs it does best. But production num- bers, constant up-tempo songs, corny patter and crazy hats don't appeal on a late show. The fact that the program has retained its high ratings is due entirely to the popularity of its star. But I've heard many, many comments in recent weeks about the over -lively program. The intimate quality is being drown- ed out by the tinselly echoes , that Syd Wayne tried so hard to avoid. All the blame can't go on MacFarlane's shoulders. The CBC goofed when they hired a eomedv writer for a show that until .this year got by continuity writing. Saul Ilson is at his best with musical comedy and brassy va- riety shows. Lie's out of place on this one. 1 doubt if Juliette, who has often confessed a weakness for the smaltzy sentimental songs,. enjoys her new role. Now Mac- ' Farlane might satisfy his urge for variety shows by doing Hit Parade, Let's hope he takes Il - son with him and tires him out ' too. ' Patti Lewis' manager tells me ! that he has arranged for her to represent Canada at the Cherry Blossom. Festival in Washington all. this week. Steve Lawrence, who is still in the U.S. Army, will be a featured entertainer along with the Army Band. It will he interesting to watch Patti's progress and see how long it takes her to become a i big star with a promoter like Mc.Cadden behind her, They have !invested several thousand dol- lars in a wardrobe for the Fes- ' tival since Patti will attend all sorts of parties.
