"It's been eleven years since I was last in New York and I'm experiencing a curious sensation," she said. "The city doesn't seem to have changed much really, but I've changed.

New York used to awe me. This visit I feel quite comfortable really." Dame Eidth said she is not unduly concerned about her American television debut. "I've done a great deal of television in England and working here in the rehearsal hall, you don't know whether you're in London, or not," she said. As a matter of fact, she won't even see her performance, which is being done on tape, because she will go back to England before the show goes on the air. Country House, Too "I expect I'll read the reviews if they send them to me," she said.

Dame Edith has lived in the same apartment in London for the past twenty years, and she also has a country house in Kent. "When one looks back on one's life, one hasn't seen much of one's homes," she said. However, she said she believes she would do the whole 50 years over again unless she had a choice of talents. Then she would rather be a playwright. "I may be the only person in the theater who has never tried to write a play but I'm no sood at writing.

Christopher Plummer will also star. Dinah Shore 'Sheer, Beautiful Talent' star, will make her Amer secretary drives the children to a Beverly Hills public school. Dinah plans the day's menus, answers mail and drives to the studio by 11 A.M.

She's there until 5.30, helping plan the program, picking songs, rehearsing. On weeks before a show-she's doing twenty this season-she works seven days; even on "off" weeks she's at the studio three days. crn which will be presented Thursday on CBS-TV, 9-10 P.M., is the third major series to be launched by Charles Marquis (Bill) Warren, a Baltimorean who has made a name for himself as producer, director and writer. Speaking on the telephone from Hollywood. Mr.

Warren explained why he thinks there's room for another such program in a which offers them in abundance. "Let me begin by saying that I don't like the title," he said. "For that matter, there was another title I didn't like At the time, Bill Paley, head of CBS, said, 'Well, just try it, and now it's a household word. "Then there was another title I didn't like and again Bill Paley said, 'Well, just try it and now it's a household word. When he first heard about he said, 'Try this out on Warren, and if he doesn't like it, we're No Needless Violence "The reason I don't care for It is that it may lead people to expect a show in which two heavies are killed every 10 minutes.

It won't be like that at all. As I told you last year, I've held down shootings on 'Rawhide' to a minimum. The success of that series proves that you can get along without needless violence. "You may remember that there was an episode called 'Dust which was entirely peaceful, and I said at the time I expected we'd get the lowest rating in our history. I was.

wrong; it did very well, indeed, and since then we've gone sometimes two or three weeks without a killing. And the show kept building until it reached fourth place in ratings. "I think there'll always be a place for good westerns in television; after all, they've been popular in theater movies ever since 'The Great Train The vogue has -died down once in a while but they always come hack. A New Idea "In I think we have a new idea, and we'll handle it as we did in People like 'Rawhide because it's realistic and honest. The fiction is based on authentic pictures of trail drovers as they were.

These guys work hard, push cattle, get paid for it and even eat which is something few TV cowboys ever do. Last week we received the Western' Heritage Award, in Oklahoma City, given to the program which most faithfully represents the real cowboy. "The hero in 'Gunslinger' will be an undercover man for the United States cavalry. This is something about which very little, I'm happy to say, has been written otherwise, its value for movies and television would have been discovered long ago. These men weren't purposed to be publicized, because they did all the dirty work, secretly, which couldn't done openly by the troops.

"Our Agent 75 works for the New York. DAME Edith Evans, "one of mis inj ui mi iu utni actresses in the world," will make her American television debut in "Time Remembered," the Jean Anouilh comedy to be presented on "Hall of Fame," 7.30 P.M. Tuesday, February 7, NBC-TV. She will co-star with Christopher Plummer and Janet Munro in this gentle love story, George Schaefer is both directing and producing. Dame Eklith, 73, has a manner that is at once vaguely imperious detached.

She is perfectly pleasant in that matter-of-fact British way, hut if she has any particular warmth) she saves it for friends, not interviewers. She disposes of questions quickly, with little elaboration, She stares off in the other direction, or simply lets the silence lie there. ''Failures With Honor" Contrary to this rather chilly Impression. Dame Edith said she likes her title because it sounds so friendly. "It's given for good work irt one's profession, so naturally I'm proud of the honor," she said.

She said in her almost 50 years in the theater she has never taken a role merely for the money. "I've had failures," she said. "One can't always make the best judgments, but my failures have been failures with honor." She made her stage debut in London in 1912 in "Troilus and Cressida," and in 1924, her portrayal of Miss Millament in "The Way of the World," was hailed by one critic as the "finest single performance by a vith 'i On "Layaway Plan" I I CUT0UT i TO: Prudential if i Universal Perfect coffee $500 Universal Soft, $750 Cruen Choice of ladies'. vision but originally, she said, was afraid of it. How long will she keep up the pace of television star, wife and mother? "When they're sick of me I guess I'll know it and I'll retire," she said.

Meanwhile, she lives on an almost machinelike schedule: up at 7 for breakfast after which Dinah or George or their I 1 I I TIM0NIUM GIFT OFFER: ONEIDA SILVER TEA SET, FREE WITH $2500 ACCT. SIXTY TO INSURED SAFETY senting the only law in isolated districts, were really the police and as such were hated by many who resented their interference with local affairs. So they hired men not bound by army regulations and called them civilian scouts. "If somebody had to cross the border, for instance, to bring back a rustler, it was the civilian scout's job; or, if a town was being run by some horrible guy who couldn't be touched by the military, the scout went in to clean up. If he got caught (like that U-2 pilot in Russia) nobody came to his aid; nobody even knew him.

"This is' one show in which cavalry won't come to the rescue. If you see them, they'll probably be heading over the hill away from the trouble. So our hero, for his $40 a month, accepts the challenge and the risk and docs the work. He's not a gunfightcr, although there will be many times when he'll have to use his weapons. We're going to concentrate on character and suspense and avoid pointless shoot-outs." Harder Work Ahead Mr.

Warren supervised "Gun-smoke" for its first two years in television; continuing on its own momentum, it is now the top-rated Western. He left it in order to set up "Rawhide," which, once it hit its stride, never dropped below fourteenth place. Both series required hard work, but nothing like that with which the producer is now faced. Putting on two hour-long programs simultaneously means that he will be doing the equivalent of one full-length theater movie a week, or a year. Only a few television men have undertaken so much.

As in "Rawhide," the new Western will feature young actors who are relatively unknown to television, although they have had some experience in the movies. Tony Young will play the hero, Cord, and other principals will be portrayed by Charles Gray, Dee Pollack and Midge Ware. Preston Foster will bring Tiis long experience to bear on the role of the commander of Fort Scott. $100,000 Fort The "fort has been built on a lot at M-G-M at a cost of $100,. 000.

It is a composite of many such used by the Army in postwar years, and photographs of it are impressive. Mr. Warren still believes that, as he said in an interview in August, 1359, people watch Westerns, in large part, because they identify themselves with the righteous, all-powerful heros, and their enemies with the villains. When the good smites the bad, he is smiting the boss, perhaps, or a mother-in-law, or a hated neighbor or a bully remembered from child- hood. It's as good a theory as any.

TclMale Ralph Taeger, of "Klondike," says you can recognize a playboy by his little black book of canceled chicks. By I U.I A HYDKR cannon that takes a charge of real gunpowder. On an occasional show Pete fires the cannon, and the resulting smoke and smell are picked up by the combined heating-air-conditioning system and piped into offices all over the buiiding. This always brings a spate of angrv phone calls to the station's building and maintenance manager. One day Pete thought it would be a great idea to create a fog in the studio.

He had heard somewhere that pouring mineral oil on a hot plate will produce one. He hadn't heard that it also produces a strong odor. While Pete impressed his young viewers by appearing in a real sea-fog, the building clouded up wilh the fumes of burning mineral oil, driving many of the office people out into North Charles street. Cat A nd Parrot Tcte's parrot is blind in one eye, and his erratic flights around the studio often and disastrously for both himself and the technicians. But he got where he wanted to go the day the cat got loose.

The cat was supposed to be sighted swimming in the ocean by Pete, and the script called for it to be hauled aboard in a bucket. But the cat didn't like the role, and the floor manager had to keep it in the pail by force. Before Pete could give the clue, the cat broke loose, leaped over the ship's rail and made straight for Neptune. The terrified parrot fluttered up to the ceiling and perched on a lighting bar. There hp stayed, refusing to be coaxed down.

Dinah Shore, a Tennessee merchant's daughter who'll be 44 March 1, and Montgomery, one-time Montana cowpuncher who is 44, have prospered indeed. Has some attitude, some philosophy, guided Dinah to eminence: Something beyond such commodities as, blonde beauty, talent, drive and an electric personality? It seemed fitting that Dinah's handshake threw a spark, even if walking across the shaggy white carpet of her living room had charged her with static electricity. She was svelte in her costume for dance rehearsals.

Miss Shore disclaimed any success philosophy. "I'll let happen. Somebody called me to audition for the Eddie Cantor job. That's the way it's been with every move in my life. Cantor's Adrice In 1940 she begen three years on the Eddie Cantor radio show that gave her the first big push up the ladder of fame.

Some best advice, then? Dinah remembered there had been. In the Cantor days, she heard that another girl singer had received an award for giving the most performances for servicemen. Dinah was heartbroken. She knew had made more. Cantor asked his crushed vocalist if it weren't true that she had run the 220 and 440-yard races at Hume-Fogg High School in Nashville.

She said it was, and she had won a few. "Did you ever see anybody win a race while looking back over his shoulder?" Cantor counseled. "When you're running a good race, don't turn around to see how the fellow behind is doing. Keep your eye on the track." Dinah recalled, "from that day on, i ininK, i ve never worried about whether anybody was going to replace me.
