They weren't voices from the tomb, though. More correctly, they came from the distant and very pleasant past when radio ruled supreme and "Easy Aces" was one of the medium's brightest programs.

J. Carrol Naish in "The Old Man Charvanaugh Story," about a wanderer who causes Flint McCul-lough, a woman and her Work At lieacn Show and it went' very welL But, a couple of days later my door bell rang and, when I opened it. there was this huge policeman from the ASPCA. I invited him in and he sat down and started to give me a levere reprimand for making those unfriendly remarks about cits. "He was just getting wound up on what a bad influence I was, going on TV to ixpress my latent cat hostilities, when my two pet cats came in and started crawling all ocr him and purring." Orson has an explanation.

"Not so long ago," he told me, "I was approached to join an organization called 'Save The Cats' and it just struck me as a funny enough idea to make a routine about. I'm a cat lover," he insisted. "There are five of the biggest, ugliest cats in the world living in my backyard and I feed them regularly. So what's wrong with getting a few laughs out of them? "Anyway," he continued, "I did the routine on the Paar would be doing radio commer cials for an instant coffee. But everyone who remembered "Easy Aces" couia not mis 1 take them, cials were too easy going and sharp to come from anyone else.

id Ace, a great GRACE radio writer who now is chief writer of the Perry Como television show, reportedly pulls down $9,000 a week for that chore. It is fairly obvious he doesn't need the extra money. Why, then, the coffee bit? "They asked me to do them and I thought it would be nice, to give Jane something to do," Ace explained. "They're hard to write how many gags can you come up with about coffee? But they're a lot of fun and not very time consum-. ing.

One time we recorded five of them in half an hour. WRONG TACK "The response has been amusing. In one week five newpaper-men called up and wanted to talk to me. Every one of them asked about the commercials none of them said one word about the Como show." Acc is at the Eden Roc Hotel for a two-week vacation; the whole staff of the Como show is taking a respite with two con-secutive shows (Feb. 14 and 21) being taped.

Referring to the coffee commercials, Ace said it was "real nice going back to radio. I used to think radio was hectic after television radio is a breeze." Censorship is omnipresent in radio and television, and commercials are no exception. One of the commercials written by Ace was set around Jane asking friends over for bridge so they could serve them some wondrous Borden's Instant During the course of the conversation, Goodman suggests to Jane that it would be cheaper to send their friends a case of Borden's rather than have them over to play bridge, noting that he had the cancelled checks from past bridge games to prove it CHANGES DUE "It seemed harmless though to me, but the agency boys read the script and claimed that it wouldn't do for 'the 'Bible They said they didn't play cards for money in the Bible Belt and the reference would have to come out. "Bible Belt? I haven't heard anyone use that term in 23 years." Plans are virtually definite for Como to move his NBC show from Saturday nights (8 to 9) to Wednesdays (9 to 10) next fall. He will replace the present Wednesday night shows In that time slot Milton Berle and Bat Masterson.

Como will do 33 shows, and Berle, while losing his weekly spot, probably will do six spectaculars. "The Kraft people went right to Como, ignoring the network," Ace said. "Their offer was so remunerative he could hardly turn it down. They offered him stock, annuities everything. "As I understand it, Perry Is waiting until the papers are translated into layman's language so he can make sure what he's getting into." (As is usually the case when you talk to Mr.

In Australia, a re-run of the recent "Little Women" musical reportedly was acclaimed as "the best TV spectacular of the year," which certainly wasn't the case here Happy to be out of television for a while, Jackie Gleason is sunning and putting in Phoenix Mltzl Gaynor, stricly a product of cinemaland, has been recruited for Jack Benny's March 18-hour -long special on CBS While television officials make speeches on the medium's growing audience, Pulse issues a survey report showing that viewers are more 'critical of the new programs this season than they were a year ago. Thirty per cent of the viewers felt that this year's programs "are better" than those they watched in previous years. A similar November 1957 survey revealed that 45 per cent of the people considered the new programs aired at the time better than those of previous seasons. Some may draw from this that TV quality is declining, but our own theory is that viewers' standards are rising1. WITH THIS COUPON BBERj Good Mon.
