Review Week March 17-24
1 was sorry to see the sea-
son's "Instant TV" productions
come to an end when the last
was presented on "Show of the
Week' last week. These four
shows which have been seen
intermittently have been the
best in entertainment. They
were produced in various Eur-
opean countries and I'd be the
first to admit that most of us
English-speaking knuckleheads
didn't have a clue what the
stars were singing much of the
time, but their music was al-
ways appealing and if you tired
of looking at people like the
German Kessler Twins, you're
some kind of a dumbkoff! Pro-
duction numbers in this series,
which usually totalled three or
four in one show, were like
something out of fairyland.
North American television once
brought us magic like that,
but someone has become lazy
throughout the years. Now it
seems that one a show is all
they can manage, and that is
nothing spectacular. (I'm ex-
cluding the 'Laura' number on
a recent Danny Kaye Show;
that was marvellous!) 'Instant
TV' was a lovely holiday for
us, and introduced us to so
many European stars who were
strangers to us before. The in-
stant idea and the magic um-
brella were a bit corny, and
took valuable time that could
have been spent looking at the
beauty of Europe. But I hope
more series like this find their
way to North America; no one
can equal the Europeans for
fantastic variety entertainment.

Mr. and Mrs. Jason Robards,
fr. made a rare television ap-
pearance with Danny Kaye and
as far as I'm concerned, don't
really have to return, at least,
if they receive material like
that. He is a prominent and
excellent stage actor, and is
never idle. He played for many
months in "A Thousand Clowns"
on Broadway and is now re-en-
acting his starring role for the
movies. His last Broadway role
was in Arthur Miller's "After
the: 11" where he play. d the
leadrdle of Quentin. Mrs. Ro-
baras; more commonly known
as actress Lauren Bacall (Betty
to her close friends) and widow
of Humphrey Bogart, was con-
tent to watch her husband work.
ing in New York, and care for
their young son, for a few
years. But she is now back in
Hollywood, co-starring in mo-
vies like "Shock Treatment"
and "Sex and the Single Girl"
which really is not a naughty
picture, only a very funny one..
She and Robards are stars of
such high calibre that it is a
shame to see them in such
tripe as was seen with Kaye.
She was given absolutely no
chance to show her versatility;
the expectant fathers' sketch
showed Robards' flair for com-
edy. Did you notice how his
actions and mannerisms are so
like Bogie's? She is currently
making headlines in a different
way --having just sued a tele-
vision show for three million
dollars for substituting another
singing voice for hers. It wasn't
the ' Mr. Broadway' episode that
we saw last fall; that was her
own voice, She'll never make
it to the Metropolitan Opera,
but give her a blues song and
her low, throaty treatment of
it will make you sit up and
listen.

Isn't it strange that an im-
personator who can imitate al-
most anyone, finds it so diffi-
cult to be himself? Our great-
est, Rich Little from Ottawa,
proved that he can act when
he made his dramatic debut in
last week's "Eye Opener",
'The Lonely Machine'. But now
and again a few strange voices
crept in, and although they
were not always identifiable,
they were not Rich. The play
was a totally unbelievable yarn
about a man who builds his
own lonely machine so he can
get away from people, the
people he 'didn't need'. But
perhaps there could be found a
moral for those of us who, in
order to be socially acceptable,
lean on a mental 'crutch' that
can bring us nothing in return.
The beautiful voice of Babs
Babineau was not heard nearly
enough; she is the most impor-
tant reason why I miss the late
Jack Kane's show so much. And
I don't know about you, but I
fell madly in love with that
