Switching over to CTV last Thursday evening, we were among the many who relived memories when the special pro- duction "The Making of The President, 1960" was presented. The President referred to, of course, was the late John Fitz- gerald Kennedy, and the pro- gram followed his political ca- reer from the time he first an- nounced that he would be a candidate for the Democratic leadership, to the day he gave his inaugural address in Wash- ington in January of 1961. We were perhaps even more inter- ested in his story, since it was exactly a year ago this month that he was assassinated in Dal- las. We were allowed to follow him on his campaign trail; fought with him as he waged his own private battle against the sick minds who thought his youth and religion would make him a poor President; and no doubt noticed that his handsome face contained a few less wrin- kles, a few less worries than three years' experience in the White House were to bringhim. We also followed his Republi- can opponent, Richard Nixon, throughout the triumphant and disappointing moments of his tour, and perhaps this year's candidates could have earned a few lessons about what not to do if you •want to win! The production was written by Theo- dore H. White, a close friend of the Kennedy family, and as was explained at the beginning, it remained exactly as it was produced just a short while be- fore the President's death. White was no doubt unaware that this film would become a part of American history, and a painful reminder of the year that the American people made a great leader their president. 0--0--0 Would you be surprised if I told you that Patty Lane's lanky, teen -aged boy -friend Richard, on " The Patty Duke Show" 'is actually a married man in his late twenties? Well, shock, shock! It's true! His real name is Eddie Applegate, and he has been married for years to a nonprofessional named Elsie. Future plans reveal that Patty will be his next wife, but only on TV, of course. This is a long way off, though; poor old Richard still has to deal with college before he can think of acquiring a wife! And by the time he graduates, he may have either had a fight with Patty, or the whole show may have been ousted by the network! Only time will tell! 0--0--0 Those kids gave their opin- ions about the U.S. election on "This Hour Has SevenDays" Sunday night on the CBC, real- ly knew what they were talking about. I'll bet a dollar that they knew twice as much as their parents about the whole thing, and fifty times as much as any U.S. citizen would know were the election in our country instead! 0--0--0 Our own Canadian comedians Wayne and Shuster, took an af- fectionate look at comedian W. C. Fields on "Show of the Week" last Monday evening. The show was well-written though put together a bit jerkily. And though Fields was a bit before my time, I think he was a good comedian (not in the Hope -Skelton -Benny category, though) and was thoroughly en- tertained by many of the skits from his movies (particularly the golf scene). This was the first of Wayne and Shuster's af- fectionate looks. Others to be shown include The Marx Broth= ers, George Burns and the late Gracie Allen, Abbott andCos- tello, Jack Benny and Bob Hope. 0--0--0 It is always sad, when Holly- wood brings so much happiness and pleasure to the remainder of the world, that it cannot bring peace and contentment to its own people. Veteran actor Sammee Tong was found dead in his California home, leaving behind a suicide note and many fans to mourn his loss. The 63 -year-old Chinese star will probably be best known to you as the humorous house -boy Pe- ter, who tried to help John Forsythe raise his niece Kelly, and at the same time, fight off the girls on "Bachelor Father". This series died out a few years ago, with all the stars weeping openly at the closing' -day good- bye party. Tong, however, was soon starring in another televis- ion series called "Mickey". So the reason for his depression certainly was not because of career problems. He also ap- peared in many Hollywood mo- vies, among them the Charlie Chan series, and most recently, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". He had never married; all his personal belongings are to go to his best friend and stand-in. 0--0--0 I hate to spoil your day, and tell you that you'd better get your Christmas shopping finish- ed, but the time is drawing near, you know, Evidence of this is the fact that Santa Claus is making his yearly visits to Canadian television networks. He's a busy chap on the 14th, for he makes an appearance on the CBC in a Toronto -originat- ed parade beginning at 9:45 a.m. Later, he makes the end of the parade in Kitchener; this event starts at 10 a.m. on TV -13. This is the 60th anni- versary of the Toronto parade, so it will be sumthin' special, with 15 bands and 24 floats in a mile -long parade.
