Bette Wimmer, Parker brew, Richard Jacobs, Haiv ly Bopray and Doti Erick-bn, a quintet of veteran, trea actors, are combining prces with newcomere Mary dziengeleski and Nancy (ust as the cast of the com-dy "Winter Chicken." yH I If NEW YORK ABC made it three in a row in the networks' prime-time ratings race even though NBC had the top-rated program in the week ending Sept. 7, according to figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. More people watched NBC's broadcast of the Miss America Pageant than any other prime-time program during the week. It was the first weekly survey since late February in which the struggling network could claim that honor.

Another NBC special presentation, the annual Emmy Awards show, lost a good deal of glitter when many of the striking actors stayed away. The program finished 32nd for the week. But the Miss America contest, broadcast live from Atlantic City, registered a rating of 24.9. Nielsen says that means nearly a fourth of the country's TV- equipped homes were tuned in for at least part of the show. ABC's rating for the week was 16.4 to 15.3 for NBC and 13.8 for CBS.

The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute during the week, 16.4 percent of the homes in the country were tuned to ABC. It will be presented at the Playhouse, 122 N. Chest- ut Sept 11-14 and i Performance times are 30 p.m. Sundays, 5:30 p.m. 1' nd 9 p.m.
