Nielson Co. show. The top-rated show, ABC's "Three's Company," attracted only 20.5 percent of the nation's households with TV, as compared to the fall and winter months when top-rated shows grabbed 30 to 40 percent of the TV audience.

Nielsen said 16.4 million homes were tuned to "Three's Company" at some point during the show. ABC took the first three places in the ratings for the week ending July 5, with "Too Close For Comfort" getting a 20.4 rating, and "20-20" getting a 20.0 rating. But CBS placed enough shows high in the ratings to record a 13.7 rating for the week overall, which means that in an average prime time minute, 13.7 percent of the country's homes with TV were tuned to CBS. ABC was second for the week with a 12.6 rating, while NBC continued in last place with 10.8. CBS has dominated the ratings race this year and has continued to do so during the summer doldrums, despite the nose-dive that "Dallas" has taken in reruns.

The play, a double-edged satire on the romantic view of life and romantic melodrama, is well- known to many theatre-goers by its musical version, "The Chocolate Cream Soldier." Performances will be held at this charming King William area theatre each Thursday through Saturday eveing and on Sunday afternoons throughout the month of July, ending on Sunday, August2nd. "Arms and The Man" revolves around the antics of some of Shaw's most loveable, amorous and laughable characters such as the hero, Bluntschli, a professional soldier more interested in saving his skin than in being a hero. He is so successful at staying out of battles and in bedrooms that, instead of carrying bullets in his cartridge belt, he carries chocolates. The heroine, Raina, is beautiful, noble, thrilling, and Cook-off set at Smithville this an unconscionable liar, which leads to a host of comic and amorous mix-ups. By the time the play ends, the audience has been treated to a delightful evening of Shaw's comqdy- satire at its best.
