An- other sure sign is the gradual change -over to fall program- ming by major television net- works in Canada and the U, S. The BC, especially, is givirq us a preview of a fine year to Which we should look forward, with a tremendous variety of old shows returning, new shows turning up for the first time, and a number of specials. One of that network's finest afternoon productions, " Take Thirty" returned to the air on Monday afternoon of last week. The host and hostess are the same, as Anna Cameron and Paul Soles pointed out, but time has changed to 3:30 and the show has undergone other changes which, I think, should make it even more fascinating, During the summer Anna and Paul were flown to Japan, and highlights of their stay there were filmed and will be shown throughout the season on" Take Thirty". There will be scenes of famous landmarks in the world's largest city, everyday street scenes, and interviews with some of Japan's most fa- mous people and the ordinary man -in -the -street. It will be of special interest to Canadians this year, because many of our sportsminded will be travelling there to participate in the Ol- ympics which begin in October. This is reminiscent of the old 'Mademoiselle de Paree' series which was seen during an after - CBC show a few years ago and repeated this year. This gave us an interesting tour and some much-needed knowledge about Paris; now we are to receive the same from Japan with two interesting guides to boot. An- na, of course is the finest in- terviewer in the business, and very charming, and Paul is al- ways good for a few laughs. So it should be quite a series, not to mention the other exciting things on the show that did not originate in Japan. After their six weeks there, Paul came back home. Anna, though, continued on a round -the - world tour. 0--0--0 The special Swiss production r "Happy End" on Tuesday eve- ning of last week, was not as spectacular as I had imagined, although it did hold my inter- est. Its splendid photography and terrific music were what really made it so special. Some a of our hits, like "Alice in Won- derland", "The Good Life", and "If I Had A Hammer" sounded better than they ever had over here, even if the lyrics were French. That 'Hammer' num- ber with the dancing and sing- ; ing kids was out of this world, 4 By Vooni tee if you could overlook the fact that the lyrics were not in syn- chronization with the music. This film won the 1964 Mon- treux Film Festival. 0--0--0 Another award-winning film was shown on "Cine Club" that evening. This series is developing into a great half- hour, and it's too bad it is lasting only seven weeks (last show September 29th). Last week's "River Boy", a Polish production, and "The Violin• ist", an American cartoon fea- ture, were tops. Next Tuesday (29th), the features will be called "The Running, Jumping, and Standing Still Film", a comedy with Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers; and "Run", a feature film which tells the story of a man (William Brydon) who runs through the streets of downtown Toronto in an effort to escape from the cruel, me- chanized world around him. 0--0--0 Getting back to the new fall changes, Sunday evening •remains much the same, with 'Patty Duke' taking over the old 'Hazel' spot at 7. Format of her show is the same, though, with Patty playing two look- alike cousins. "Flashback" re- turns at 7:30; the only change there is panelist Elwy Yost who replaces Alan Millar. Ed Sul- livan begins his new season on the 27th with singers Leslie Uggacns, and Bob Goulet, and comedian Alan King his top guests. Beginning on October 4th, a new hour series will be offered by some CBC outlets. " This Hour Has Seven Days" will be a Canadian version of England's " That Was The Week That Was" with a sixty -minute review of the week's happen- ings, which will originate live from Toronto and Ottawa. A highlight will be a tour of mainland China, made by the producer this summer. It should be worth the time and effort - Sundays, at 10. 0--0--0 Don Messer will he back on Monday evening in the old time slot, but the highlight of Mon- day's viewing will be "Show of The Week", a variety hour on which I will keep you posted each week. It begins on the 28th, that evening's hour to star Lynn Seymour and Chris Gable of the Royal Ballet in England (she's a Canadian), and singers Betty Robertson and The Billy Van Four. Host is Don Harron, 0--0--0 Specials which are dominat- ing the scene this week are "Angel in The Smoke", an hour-long Tokyo -produced dra- ma, about a Japanese family who lives in a poor section of Tokyo and has to struggle to stay alive. It's seen at 9:30.
