There is one thing television

in touch with interesting per-

form Of show business has a
proper niche. You are not likely
to meet any Of them on a vaude-

One of these is Virgilia Peter

hart, of Life Begins at 80."
1t may be only coincidence,
but these first samples who come
to mind are seen on programs
televised by DuMont. DuMont
is considered the junior network
by the other three engaged in
television. It has no network ex-
perience in radio. This may. in
some ways, be a drawback, but
it also means that DuMont is
not tied by radio to any elderly
traditions. It's past may be
comparatively short. but it's past
is all television.
Before getting completely lost
down a columnar cul de sac. it
might be a good idea to get back
to the business at hand. That
was to take note of the fact
that Mrs. Carhart will celebrate
her 88th birthday next Sunday.
You know few if any 88-year-
olds as lively and contentious
as this televiSion star.
