Ham doesn't become him at all. Mancini and Williams play the concert circuit together and have become a comfortable duo who know how to compliment each other. Henry and his flute and piccolo were great fun but I do wish there had been a spot for some Mancini jazz.

Add a lot of psuedo psychedelic scenery and you've got a pretty busy TV screen.

It was a good BOlid show but Andy used to do as well on most weeks of his regular series, DANNY THOMAS opened his TV family album on his NBC "Danny Thomas Show" Monday, and it was like sitting down- with old friends and hearing the latest family news. The Danny' Williams family (Danny, Marjorie Lord, Rusty Hamer, Angela Cartwright) plus Hans Conreid as Uncle Tonoose, Amanda Randolph as Louise and Sid Melton as Charlie, haven't been around regularly for four seasons and, -as in any family, the kids really have grown.

How much was the crux of the comedy. Rusty was in the service and had taken a bride, the colonel's daughter no less. It was a surprise to his folks and their reaction was real life with just a bit of exaggeration, the way good comedy should be. Uncle Tonoose wanted a real Lebanese wedding celebration and the ramrod colonel was horrified. Shouting, misunderstanding, reconciliation, happy ending.

It was the usual formula but the script by Jack Elinson and Norman Paul had just the right amount of good nature and schmaltz to be warm and amusing. Danny, Conreid, Miss Lord, Melton and Miss Randolph haven't 'changed much but, my, Angela' has turned Into a leggy, lovely young lady and Rusty is a good-looking young man. (A ccording to Danny, inspiration for the show came when he saw Rusty in his real-life Army uniform and realized how much he'd grown up.) Edward Andrews was the colonel and Jana Taylor was Susan, Rusty's bride. Both fit the proceedings as if they belonged. VACATION FOR 2 10 4 days, 3 nights at Deluxe Hotels.
