On the Air
Babes in ToyIond' Proves
To Be oV Spectacular
BY HarrY MocArfhur

One Of the major purposes of
those spectaculars with which
NBC-TV has given mediocrity a
nudge this season has been to
create an appetite for color tele-
vision. Finally we have been
shown one that did the job. Any
one who watched Max Liebman's S
fine production Of Babes in
Toyland" on Saturday night
must have yearned for full color
to bring it to full life.
It was a good show in black
and-white, of course-in many
respects an excellent one. 1t was
a frolicsome fantasy (when it
finally got going), staged in
proper make-believe atmosphere
and performed in high spirits by
some talented people. There was
q great deal of imagination on
display, along with an infectious
feeling of fun.
The Baird Puppets were put
magnificently through som e
highly intricate PAGES. from the
march of the wooden soldiers to
ballet dances. Time was found for
some wonderful clowns. includ-
ing the Cairolis, a European
comedy act. Wally Cox proved to
be just right as the toymaker
whose toys ultimately foiled the
villain of the piece and saved the
hero.
Dennis Day was in fine voice in
this latter role Though the
LAMA conscious young in one
living room watched his opening
number and declared in chorus,
Hes not singing!~. He was most
ably assisted by 10 Sullivan. as
the heroine. and by Dancers
Bambi Linn and Rod Alexander.
Dave Garroway played the de-
partment store Santa Claus who
read this story to a lost girl with
just the right touch (the kind
he uses on almost everything.
All in all it was quite a show
and the only flaw. no serious one.
was contributed by Jack E.
Leonard. That isn't quite the
proper phrasing, either. The flaw
is that Mr.. Leonard, being a
vaudeville-type comic, has
trouble with his lines in a book
show like Babes in Toyland." |"
Otherwise he had his funny
moments and it was most sensible
of Mr.. Lehman to put a comedy
villain in a holiday show for the
young.
There is only one question
many parents must be ready to
ask NBC today. 1t Is this. Why
was a program which the chill
dren were urged all week to be
sure to watch telecast from 8
to l0:30 pm. instead of from 1880
to 8? That, Sylvester L. Weaver.
jr.. sir, can't be answered by any
cybernetic diversions. Why? But.
thanks anyhow for the demon
stration Of what spectacular is.
