If not, men have no need to talk about a woman changing her mind, for officials there have been doing it more often than the weatherman! At the beginning of the sea- son, 8;80 p.m. on a Wednes- day evening was held down by Burl Ives and his icky series, "O.K. Crackerby". In Novem- ber they announced that O.K. would go and "My Three Sons" would replace it, The follow- ing month, they had canned "My Three Sons" and said they would try the new series of na- tive son Robert Goulet. As this is being written that word still stands, but by the time you read this, we could be watch- ing anything, even suffering through "Crackerby" again.

Its title is the code name for the plan to pen trate the German High Com- mand during the war, Bob stars as David March, a foreign correspondent who re- nounces his American citizen- ship and goes to Germany to work as a secret agent. His job is to infiltrate the German High Command and steal its secrets, and to undermine the Reich as it tries to take over the world. He is hated by his own country- men, hunted by partisans, and not even completely trusted by members of the Gestapo. The series was produced by Twentieth-Century-Fox Tele- vision, and much of it is being filmed in Germany. When ask- ed to comment about it Bob said, "If anyone had told me I'd be doing a...dramatic... television series... I'd have worried about his sanity!" Accepting the series meant giving up supper club and night- club engagements, concerts and television guest spots. He had also considered tours of Europe, Australia and South America, but those, too, were passed up in favour of 'Blue Light'. His reasons? -- Helik- ed the scripts, the crew with whom he would be working, and the character that he would play. And after shooting in Germany has been completed he will be able to come home to Beverly Hills, and live a more settled life while com- pleting interior scenes on the Hollywood sound stages. Though Bob was born in Mas- sachusetts, it was in our coun- try that he began his musical career, and we often refer to him as one of 'our boys' (al- though he has been quick to re- linquish all ties with Canada when approached by U.S. fans and newsmen!) It was here, while he was appearing on CBC Television, that he was sought for the role of Sir Lancelot in the Julie Andrews-Richard Bur- ton Broadway hit, "Camelot". That role led to television ap- pearances on the top network shows, engagements in the na- tion's best night-clubs, record- ing dates, and roles in two movies, "Honeymoon Hotel" and "I'd Rather Be Rich". (The first was classified as a dud; in the second, response to his per- formance was only mediocre.) Marriage to another Broadway star, Carol Lawrence, didn't hurt his career one bit, either. Needless to say, he won't sing in his new series. That could spell trouble right there, with his voice a definite asset to him. But his rugged good looks may get him through and make the series a hit. One thing sure, if he doesn't show more personality as David March than he did as Bob Gou- let, he may as well leave Ger- many on the next boat and lim- ber up his vocal cords for action again! 0-0-0 With the end of 1965 came awards for top performers, and just plain nice folk, during the past year. In Hollywood, the top money-making stars were announced. This has nothing to do with popularity; only which stars' pictures brought in the largest box-office returns. 'James Bond' and his real-life counterpart Sean Connery were in Number 1 place this year for the first time on the charts. His spy thrillers proved very popu- lar in '65. Following him were John Wayne and top adventure;Doris Day and her gay comedies; the beautiful voice of Julie An- drews in lyrical musicals(first year for her, too); Jack Lem- mon with his own style ofcom- edy; Elvis Presley who continues to draw our largest group of movie fans, the teenagers; Cary Grant, who at 61 can still make females faint in the aisles; the western drawl °Mtn- my Stewart in classics of the old West; and MRS. and MR. Richard Burton, in that order. Old favourites like Paul New- man, Rock Hudson, and Shir- ley MacLaine, were kicked off the list. The Women's Press Club handed out its golden and sour apples for the most co-opera- tive and unco-operative stars of 1965. Golden apples for co- operation went to, among oth- ers, Sandra Dee, Dorothy Ma- lone, John Wayne and Steve McQueen. Some stars apparent-, ly, were not the least bit nice to the Press, among them Pat- ty Duke, Debbie Reynolds, (That's a switch!), Tony Cur- tis, and this figures -- Vince ' Edwards ('Ben Casey'), who looks like he invented the scowli and is proud of it!
