TILE LAST STRAW. The recent
world premiere of a new Martin

theater. with the two zanies on

move to restore Atlantic City to
a prominent place in the theatrical
world.
There was a time when many
Broadway-bound productions had
their initial tryouts at Atlantic
City's Apollo Theatre. 1t was on
the way to the Apollo that pro-
dncer John Golden once met play
wright George S. Kaufman, whose
new play that season, it developed,
had a wonderful first act, but then
evaporated into thin air.
What are you doing in Atlantic

Kaufman answered sadly.

Walt Disney, generally rated
as the most creative artist In
Hollywood. will make his first
venture into television next
week.
With q $2.5 million budget
for 81 weekly shows, Disney
poses a blockbusting threat to
Arthur Godfrey's longtime
dominance of Wednes esday
night watchers.
Some lis ABC-Tv stations
will carry Disneyland, an hour
long filmed series, starting
Wednesday at 7:30 pm, local
time, in most network cities.
What kind of a show is it?
You will see Donald Duck
impersonating Sgt. Joe Friday:
take a pictorial flight to the
moon and watch Alaskan seals
prance in their native habitat.
"And," promises Disney. ''it's

not for kids alone. You viii

Most of the resources Of the
big Disney studio in Burbank
are behind the masters TV
plunge. For the first time in
history, the 1000 Disney en-
ployes are on a six-day week.
No Profit-ot First
The show already has three
sponsors but with such outlay
how can Disney profit? He says
he won't--at first.
Sometimes ! wonder why
the hell I got into this thing
but we've passed the point of
no return, there's no turning
back"
But Disney doesn't want
you to shed any tears for him.
He has filmed all shows in
color and will later release
them to European movie
houses.
Most of the Tv series win
be original production but
there will also be some of the
Disney classics. Seal Island"
and Beaver Valley" Oscar
winners In the tru-life adven-
ture series, will be shown in
their entirety. Alice In Won

Told al Lamb Hearinu

claimed they once did under
cover work in the Communist

divorcee. swore yesterday she
Joined the party for about six
months in 1910 as a part-time
employe Of Ernest Courey. Mr..
Courey had testified he did un-
dercover work In the party for
a private detective agency.
Mrs. King, however. denied she
ever collected any money for the
party or served on any party
committee. And she said she has
never met Mr.. Lamb. o Toledo
lawyer, who publishes the Erie
1Pa) Dispatch and operates
radio and television stations in
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
Mr.. Courey swore on Septem-

munist Party Finance Committee
and was with him in MIR. Lambs
Office when he said q third Com
munist. Max Wall, collected q 50
contribution from Mr.. Lamb for
a Communist picnic In 1910.
Mrs. King also said she has never
heard of Max Wall. Mr.. Wall
on October 20 invoked his con-
stitutional privilege and refused
to testify.
