There used to be a song called
Don't Put Your Daughter on the
Stage, Mrs. Worthington" and it
probably was sound advice. You'd
better ignore it. however, if your
daughter develops an interest in
the television stage and comes
around asking you if she can be a
TV star.
1t may not be art, but the eat
ing's mighty good.
The eating is good, that is, If
you eat like Dagmar's press agent
says she eats. In the new issue
Iof See magazine, out next Friday,
the diet which purportedly is re-
SponSible for the famous hero
Iically-proportioned Dagmar chassis
is revealed. It's a killer.
A typical breakfast, according to
this report, consists of two oranges
dressed. on a fork, with powdered
sugar; rice pancakes with maple
syrup; a choice of boiled Shad,
maitre d'hotel sauce, with Sara
toga potatoes, poached eggs on
anchovy toast. or little f1lets of
porterhouse steak garnished with
watercreSS.
| Lunch, a simple little repast,
might include few slices of aSpic
of goose; whipped potatoes; broc-
coli with hollandaise sauce; chefs
salad with slivers of filet mignon;
a simple pudding or fresh fruit
and cheese. and. tn season, a por-
ton Of game, such as woodcock.
At dinner the pride of Hunting
ton, w. Va, holsters herself first,
she says, with a large assortment
of hors d'oeuvres. including tim
bales. palmettes, mousselines,
and bouchees. Soup follows, then
a fish course of oysters, terrapin
or a handful of deviled crabs.
The entree is roast of lamb, veal,
venison or antelope, sur
rounded by four vegetables.
ABC-TV had better get going
with that show for Dagmar; al
girl needs a steady job to live
this high on the hog. Don't look
for her to waste away, though, if
she does ever retrench in the
food department. You can wager
a double portion of broccoli hol-
landaise to a plate of turnipI
greens that that figure owes more
to hamburger and mashed pota-
toes than to little filets of porter
house steak garnished with water
cress. Or roast antelope.

Music i'm the Air-Those who
contend that television doesn't do
right by the music lovers will have
a slightly less valid case this week.
even II it is only temporary. The
second NBC-TV opera of the sea-
son is scheduled for Thursday
night and the Boston Symphony
lis scheduled for a half-hour tele-
vision concert Friday at 8 pm.
Both of these will be carried by
WNBW.
The opera, to be seen and heard
Thursday at II pm, will be
R.S.V.P." which really is Offen-
bach's Monsieur Chouheuri,"
translated into English and mod
erniZed bit. Leading singers will
be Virginia Haskins, George Irving
and Paul FRANKIE. WNBW, inciden-
tally. has agreements with the
sponsors of the regular IL O'Clock
newscasts and the BOX Four"
movies which will permit it to
carry all the operas presented by
the NBC Television Opera Thea
ter.
The Boston Symphony concert
on Friday will be a once-only af-
fair. with the orchestra under the
direction of Charles Munich, its
regular conductor. That m the
plan SO far. at least. The 8 pm.
Friday period is being taken over
from the "Quiz Kids" by RCA-
Victoria, however. and that spon-
sor. in the interest of selling
monographs and records. might
do something for the music lovers.
