Patton is the producer of ABCs Super Cir-tu. And as such he has become something of an expert in handling animals on TV.

"Have you ever tried to outguess an elephant or an orangu-tang? he asked. "It's a game a little like chess plus Russian roulette." While the Berles and girls and Lesters and jesters have been winning plaudits for their Thespian talents, some of their four legged or feathered friends have been hanging up some records of sorts, too.

Training Is Varied Al's home since 1946 has been WGES, which each week broadcasts more than 40 hours of Benson productions. He also has a transcribed show on WJJD.

Each voter cast as many ballots as he wished. A couple of years ago Al needed a large hall for a be-bop concert he was sponsoring. He approached Herb Carlin of the Civic Opera house.

Carlin tried to talk Al out of renting such a-big place. "I warn you," he said. You'll never fill it. I'll bet you a hat you lose money." "He bought me a good hat, too," Al said laconically. "We packed 'em on the stage and in the pit.

But the deodorized dandy who was a guest on Super Circus only went so far as to nip Mary Hartline on the finger, and then took a bite out of the stage manager and his wife. Not so long ago Patton had to cope with three brown bears. The growlers, altho trained, were known to be skittish so holes were drilled on the stage and as each bear finished his routine he was chained to the floor while the next performed. And a large screen was placed in front of the control booth glass plate lest they see their images and decide to give battle. Televiewers and studio guests are often surprised to find that such big animals as elephants, lions and bears can be brought into an average sized theater.

The Civic theater stage's working space is only about 33 by 28 feet. The animals are carted to the theater in trucks. They are taken thru the truck entrance of the adjacent Civic Opera house stage. How They Manage If the animals are large they are kept in the trucks until' just before the performance. Seals are kept in tanks; lions, dogs and birds in cages on trucks.

While no animal act has ever failed to go on. there have been some close calls. A while back three camels, borrowed from the Black Hills Passion Play company, crested some excitement. At rehearsal the ships of the desert came on like PT boats. But when the time for the telecast came the dizzy dromedaries wouldn't budge.

Usually they respond to a loaf of fresh bread. The trainer said the bread offered them was stale. However, finally they came out and did their stuff. Then one of them followed with a nasty trick, one that camels often resort to. He spit in the stage manager's eye!
