"What we are going to do is produce what we hope will be an entertaining series of fictional, dramatic programs.

The series certainly will not center around the 'cowboys-against-the-Indians' theme. And violence won't be a key point although some violence will be included for the sake of authenticity those were violent days back then, and people knew first-hand of violence." "The key to our success," commented Mathieson, "is realism. If we tell it like it was, we'll be satisfied, regardless of how long we last. "All of us are giving it our best shot, and we hope it will be a winner. If it isn't, then we won't sit around and cry we'll go out and try something else."

Bob Goodman Matheson has starred in both "The Virginian" and "Bonanza" TV series and has had substantial roles in such movies as "Yours, Mine and Ours," "Divorce American Style" and "How to Commit Marriage." He spent a full season with the San Diego Shakespeare Festival last year and toiled in "Romeo and Juliet," "Twelfth Night" and "Henry IV." 'The Quest' is sort of like 'The Searchers'," Russell said in answer to my question asked during a recent California interview session, "I have never seen that movie but I've heard all about it. And my feeling is that if our series is as good as was that movie, then we're home free." I asked Mathieson if their kidnaped sister would ever be seen in the episodes. "There are no plans to show her," he replied. "The way 1 1 understand it, we'll try to use the kidnaping as a premise for the whole thing, but every episode won't center around our search for her.

Many shows will be built around the events in the central characters' lives aside from the kidnaping thing." "Each story will be self-contained," Russell inserted.

Featuring addresses by Supreme Court Chief Justice WAHREN BURGKRandthe LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND. By BOB GOODMAN Journal Television-Radio Edilor One of my all-time-favorite Western movies is "The Searchers," produced 20 years ago and starring John Wayne, Natalie Wood, Jeffrey Hunter and Ward Bond.

The storyline of that splendid film had Wayne heading a party of men searching for his niece, kidnaped by Indians. The saga spanned a couple of decades, and the insightful script combined with topflight color, scenery and photography to make the release an absolute masterpiece, i When the 1976-77 television wason rolls around in late September NBC will offer the industry's only Western prime-time series, one titled "The Quest." And the over-all plot, if nothing else, is straight out of "The Searchers." 'The Quest' is set in the Vest before the turn of the century when the men who roamed its towns and prairies were less than the courageous, honorable cowboys popularized by fiction," a network press release dealing with the series explained. "That lusty and raucus period is re-created through the adventures of two brothers searching for their sister, a captive of the Cheyenne Indians." To be televised in the 9-10 p.m. time slot on Wednesdays, "Quest" has several things going for it. For one, Kurt Russell and Tim Matheson, two popular and able young actors, will be the featured performers.

For another, the series was created by the talented Tracy Keenan Wynn (he's the son of actor Keenan Wynn), and it is a product from the David fall. And more than a few people have told me they wanted such a show available. (Of course, if "Quest" is a success, the "copycats" will quickly follow on all three networks.)
