DELAWARE COUNTY INCLUDED 3 Stations Schedule Primary Vote Shows A FUNNY THING happened to Jack Paar on his way to Hollywood. FUNNY THING HAPPENED Paar Plans Show About Hollywood Hollywood, the original "fun cily," has been the subject of numerous novels, diverse dissertations and even many motion pictures. The inhabitants of the West Coast fun city have been popularized, propagandized and patronized by thousands of word merchants in every conceivable medium of communications, from outdoor billboards to indoor television. The Hollywood phenomenon, in its influence on fashions and fads, is probably as pervasive in our culture as another American pastime, politics, is to our system of government. Jack Paar, who demonstrated that something fresh, witty and entertaining could be done with a political theme in his widely acclaimed NBC-TV special, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to White House," will sharpen his satirical spear for a thrust at Hollywood.

And he will utilize Hollywood's major export, film to cut through the celluloid for a look behind the scenes. In his second NBC-TV special since he decided to take leave of weekly television, at the conclusion of the 1965 season, Paar will be host of the hour-long "Jack Paar and a Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Hollywood" to be colorcast at 10 p.m. Sunday on KYW-TV, Channel 3. He will be joined by Judy Garland and Bob Newhart. It is characteristic of the Paar approach that his program will be satirical, make several points, but above all, be entertaining.

"We will show some actual screen tests," he says, "and 6A-Moy 13, 1967 how demeaning and embarrassing they could be." As a relatively unknown comedian, Jack had his own personal encounter with the Hollywood system. During World War II, he acquired a reputation in the South Pacific area as a G. I. entertainer with a barbed wit whose target was the officer class. A war correspondent wrote about him in a national magazine which, upon his discharge, resulted in a standard Hollywood film contract.

a intends to illustrate this brief, postwar period in his career with some film footage. "My first movie role was in a cheap picture," he recalls. "But I can't even remember the name. I was supposed to be a dancer. And I can't dance!" The program also will display i sequences of Paar and the late Marilyn Monroe when both were unknown contract players.

Jack is reluctant to discuss his special in detail, preferring to surprise the viewer. He did just that in his dissection of. politics with ingenious use of film clips. For example, he took the politician's penchant to shake hands and monlaged several hand-shaking scenes the Beatles' rendition of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." Another bit of lampooning zeroed in on world leaders, who were shown posturing to Tony Bennett's singing of "If I Ruled the World." Paar stresses that his examination of She film capital "Will not be an expose, but entertaining and amusing." However, the Hollywood, establishment may not be amused.
