NAW NDY Griffith is convinced
~ that every mother in the
- land with an unmarried
daughter is writing to him these days.
"Why don't you get married?" they
have inquired in thousands of fan let
terS.
Andy, who actually is happily-mar-
ried family man in real life, knows
they're really talking about Andy Tay-
lor, the sheriff he portrays on CBS'
Andy Griffith Show"
Ever since Elinor Donahue found
real-life romance, got married and
left the show last season there's been
an admitted shortage of women a.
round the fictional town of Mayberry,
where the story is set.
That problem will be eased for at
least one night this week when beaute-
Gus Julie Adams guest-stars.
She will portray country nurse who
ignites gleam in Andy's eye.
Next month another pretty girl, Sue
Ane-that's no mistake, that's the way
she spells it-Langdon pays visit.
The producers don't come right out
and proclaim that the search is on to
find Andy girl friend, and eventually
perhaps wife, but it is obvious they
are trying to balance the cast with
some girls.
