It was much like many other luncheons we have had with stars of the entertainment world we had a fine time and lefj: with an excellent impression of our host.

Liberace toJd us between signing autographs for most of the hotel workers and several dozen other admirers who somehow gained admission to his suite that his average half hour filmed telecast (all are filmed) requires three days of practice and 10 hours of actual work before the cameras. It is, said our most charming host, "a rare week when I can manage to get more than one show on film." This, we assure you, is typical of the really hard work which goes into most of the better TV shows. It was not surprising to learn that Liberace, is a ist such superior showmanship is always the result of a healthy share of perfectionism and the admission that he feels it necessary to boil down 10 hours of film to a single satisfying half hour does him nothing but credit in our critical eyes. Liberace can also lay claim to other attributes of the fine showman. He told us he planned a full hour "live" telecast in Cleveland In the near future, "because so many people were unable to purchase tickets to my concerts there." Good bus- iness, to be sure, but also we detect that certain something which only the great, enter-tamers have; a suitable amount of ham, combined with an unusual sense of responsibility to their public.

As we were telling Carole tonight, though she could hardly be expected to understand, we think Liberace as a showman can be, in a sense, compared to that other great musical showman, Guy Lorn-bardo. He, too, has a tremendous appeal to the "squares," which means to most of us who have a sentimental leaning toward "schmalz," well played and graciously presented. And, you know something.

Fanning read instead of staying glued to the TV screen, but in her high regard for Liberace she is certainly no class (at any age) by herself.

A lot of things have been written about the current fair-haired boy of the key. board, most of which, on this page (unoVr another by-line) fnd elsewhere, has been anything but complimentary. In company with Carol though with certain adult reservations we hereby beg to differ. There is an unfortunate tendency among critics to take an unusual harsh view of popular entertainers who attract, in company with their normal public, a lunatic fringe of celebrity happy, basically immature followers perhaps orshippe rs" would be a better word. This Is an easy trap to fall into, as none of us (including the artist concerned, more often than not) can honestly condone the uninhibited, ill-mannered conduct of the.

autograph-hungry, indiscriminate so often seen in the wake of popular artists. Bing Crosby once went through sll this, and more, recently in our own youth so did Frank Sinatra. Eddie Fisher has certainly put up with much of the same non-tense. Let us say from personal observation, none of the foregoing (nor many lesser lights of the stage and screen) has accepted this curious manifestation of the (largely) female libido with more grace than has Liberace.
