Buttons description
Comedian Red Buttons a stratospheric
rV star was telling his associates what it's like
TO be made and broken by the vldeo business
AT the age of 81 the man who had become
the most instantaneous success of any video
comic within memory was considered jittery
rV has been
His red hair had gone nearly gray. his
famous grinnng face had become Sullen and
anxiety ridden he had nervous stomach and
vas seeking emotional help from psychologists
He had lost his public. lost his sponsor. lost the
interest of network executives He was Just
another entertainer out of a job No wonder
Red Buttons was telling his friends
My hat is off TO every comedian on tele
vision He is in the cruelest business in the
world
The redhead had learned how the tercely
competitive fast-churning TV industry eats
talent alive There must always be a fresh,
new show Every week the ratings being
challenged by rivals Every week there are the
nterminable rehearsaS, conferences last
minute changes interviews, and not infrequently
pickering behind the scenes
These are energy Sappers for any TV star
regardless OF physical staying power and range
of talent one network executive cynically put
II this way about the fallen Red Buttons
He's got a certain amount of tricks which
put him for while. but he ran out OF gas
When Buttons made his TV debut in 1852
after knocking around show business for l6
years The executives spoke differently The
freckled comic. who got his name from the color
of his hair and his singing bellboy days, was
truly sensation and practically overnight
The smiling kid from New York's Lower East
Side with his Strange Things Are Happening
and 'Ho-Ho" theme songs became the darling
CT millions of TV viewers across the Nation
In joyful daze he told an interviewer This is
mass love l hope it will last
His program was broadcast over 80 TV sta
tions and reached 26 900 900 viewers He achieved
a trendex rating of 403 to reach third place
among TVS most watched shows. right behind
l Love Lucy and Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts

HO HOLE HE-Red Buttons learned
how TV churns out Stars-and also
haS-beenS
He was named the -Favorite Big Brother of
the Year won the fourth annual Michael Award
as televisons comedy star" Over
100000 kids put his picture in frames and
proudly his buttons
But as the new little king sat upon his
throne he didn't realize that it was wired for
anxietieS
Physical collapse under the strain of star
dom is a familiar TV occupational hazard Just
before the performance OF Red Buttons second
show in 1852 he tainted from exhaustion. In
December 1854 another collapse serious
disqualification was needed trouper, he kept
plugging away telling his friends I'm trying
all the way
But Red himself provided insight into
what he was going through
The real misfortune in his case however,
was more serious aiment-defected public in
terest In 1854 two years after he had been
hailed as the TV discovery of the year ratings
began falling until the show slipped to 33d
place His sponsors announced they would not
renew the shows contract for the following
season
Everything possible was done TO save the
show Writers were hired and fired. Situation
comedy was tried For week the broken
hearted comic locked himself up in his apart
ment and ran of kineScopes of every TV show
he had done. trying to find the answer There
was no answer His show through in the
spring of 1855 He had lasted three years
The dethroned Red Buttons has not given
up, ex-TV stars never do He recently made
several TV guest appearances in dramatic shows
He is working the featured actor in the
movie "Sayonara"

ing the headline clash Of the
sleek young man of the liberal

an out-worn Marxist passion is

Mr.. Stein is citing the Hiss

introduction to an enemy more
diabolically dangerous than
that sensational case implied.
II this is q correct assump-

falls short of its worthy ambi-

fell across the Hiss Chambers
affair has subsequently supplied
so much more terrifying evil

dead words Of the Hiss trial

accusations so outrageously un-
likely? Why did so many peo-
pie take the word of a self-con-
fessed liar against the denials
of so clean-cut. articulate and
seemingly respectable young
public official2
Mr.. Populus has dozens of
these baffled queries at the tip
of his tongue. but in retrospect
they have lost their dramatic
force. Time has marched on TO
outer space and left. so many
other things behind, including
family quarrels among the un-
stable political extremists of
the 3Os.
However real these were at
the time, they have taken on
unreality beyond the power of
"A Shadow Of My Enemy
to alter. They are part of a
past which Mr.. Stein tries to
link to the present and the
future but with no more effect
than that of a mere theatrical
exercise. IS

It's most theatrical feature,
incidentally, is Donald Oens-
layers setting. This is a kind
of space ship, flying backward
lin a field Of darkness, landing
MIR. Begley and Mr.. Raymond
in the postures of the parrish
pants in an old, famous fight
on television.
In the episode stiffness OF
the play. there is little chance
for the principals to emerge
as more than silhouettes, and
mouthpieces, of their predeces-
sors.
This is also the plight Of
Leon Janney as Mr.. Populus.

sci, and the several others.

kin papers. and an ancient
typewriter.
The impact Of the play,
therefore. is quite outside the
play, namely its reminder OF
how far history has moved in
nine years. And how much
farther astronautics has moved
than any other branch Of what

In its merely surface terms,
"a Shadow Of MY Enemy" Is a
theaterical resume. or echo. of
American liberalism's most en-
barrassing moment. when it
cracked up on the inside. For
reasons that are still obscure,
one Of them started telling on
the others with tumultous
results.
Under assumed names, in
the case of the principals, Ed
Begley impersonates the un-
kempt tattle-tale, Gene Ray
mond the object Of his disaf-
lection.
