CynthiaFinds Sunday Comedy Turns Burlesque By CYNTHIA I.OWBY NEW YORK When "More, More, More, More nn original comedy started on NBC Sundny night, It seemed for the first few minutes we were going to see one of those mnd. gay shows reminiscent of I he good old movie days when Robert Montgomery was always rich playboy or debonair Cary Grant was pursuing Irene Dunne or Katharine Hepburn It started with a poor but happy young couple just making out on S6.000 a year, worrying over bills and a leaky coffee pot. Suddenly they have a $500.000 windfall and the husband sets out to really enjoy spending his money. So far, so good.

But the pending device was overdone and got out of hand. The rest of the show was less comedy than a burlesque. Our he.ro started buying a Rembrandt "with Ititle Van Gogh on the side to brighten it up," an apartment house and a pair of English limousines for his girl friend, a baby elephant and every dress in Christian Dior's collection for his wife. Then his wife got into the ict, acquiring a prize fighter, a night club, a bank, one sable 1 and 15 mink coats. The clincher and big gag was when she asked her husband how many golf clubs made a set.

Fourteen he replied. Then In a voice like Jane's in the "Easy Aces. 1 she said 'Goody, then I think I'll buy those in Connecticut." That golf club-buying joke is just a little bit older than Milton Berle and started life as in early Texas millionaire story. The whole show was a bit of misguided fluff, and very hard to wind up.
