Louis since guest stars and By CHARLES WTTBECK TV Key Syndicate Hollywood LOUIE PHEETERS, the require most of the story attention. If Mantley could find a suitable tale starring Pheeters he'd buy it in a minute. THERE IS a good Pheeters episode, made over a year ago, that Mantley hopes to run in January or February, but it's been held up because of violence fn the early scenes.

Nusser agrees the held-over episode contains some of his better work, and is keeping his fingers crossed. 10:00 Lucy Show 9 Steve Allen (Continued) 9 Coffe Cup Th.

O'Connor (Cont'd) 9 Day Of Oour Live 9 Many Splendored Thing town drunk, braces himself just outside the Long Branch saloon. He needs a drink badly, and he calls on his innards to stop the shakes and the queezes long enough to show momentary calmness and control while he cadges the life-saving nectar from Kitty, Doc Adams or a "live one" at the bar. With his red rheumy eyes, tattered clothes and a rasping clipped voice that threatens to run away unless the pressure is on, Gunsmoke's Louie Pheeters has become a television tradition over the years, and though he only has a line or two at the most in an episode, that moment always counts. In the past two years, thanks to Pheeter fans producer John Mantley and writer Paul Savage, Louie is finally coming into his own, working in almost every other episode. Right in the middle of an action plot where Festus beds down for the night at the Jail, there's a knock at the door, and it's Louis, a shivering, pathetic mongrel, lying in his teeth as he says, "The hotels are full.

Can I have a room for the night?" Now, this is a device to get Pheeters into the jail where he's grabbed by a villain forcing deputy Festus to let the man out to save Louie's useless life. It's a small thing, but James Nusser, as Louie, gives it a special touch, and he makes the screen come alive with his presence. Watching Nusser at work however brief ly is a special treat on TV, because he is one of the most skillful character actors in the business, Producer Mantley, who used to be "Gunsmoke's" story consultant, knows he has a gem in Nusser, and says he's "one of the finest actors in town and one of the most underrated."
