Show By LYN CONNELLY PSYCHIATRISTS are having a I look at "Tarzan" . . . It's not that they believe the bronzed jungle lord to be just an ape with delusions of grandeur . . . What interests them is the tremendous impact of Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation on adults and children alike in his CBS Radio series as well as in books, motion pictures and comic strips . . . One doctor analyzes Tarzan's appeal as an avenue of escape for average city dwellers, 4 providing them with thrills and adventures beyond their reach . . . "In imagination," says the doctor, "they swing with Tarzan Tar-zan from tree to tree, unburdened by union suits, tax returns or troubles with the boss." "Tarzan typifies the spirit that makes men go camping," - says another doctor . . . "He is above and beyond telephones, plumbing and paychecks" . . The Tartan stories do have appeal, whatever the source . . The success of the CBS radio show is just one indication indica-tion . . There have been 55 Tarzan Tar-zan novels since the first was published pub-lished in 1914, 27 motion pictures, comic strips in 150 American newspapers, news-papers, and comic books- by the million . . Candy, chewing gum, bread and even two post offices (Tarzan, Tex. and Tarzana, Cal.) have been named for the jungle hero. PLATTER CHATTER Tennessee Ernie gives his own inimitable interpretation to a new song that is heading for the top, "I Don't Know" . . Back has "Sweet Temptation" . . "Don't Believe a Word They Say" sounds good as done by Bob Eberly and he does an excellent job on the flip side with the novelty, "Rosie!" Lizzie Miles revives that oldie, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" in fine fashion . . Back has "Salty Dog" and both sides were recorded in the New Orleans' Vieux Carre. Jane Froman scores with a beautiful beau-tiful new ballad, "Ghost of a Rose" Backside has an inspirational type song that Jane does so well, "I Believe" . . Maggie Whiting continues to turn out fine, discs with two new and different songs "Singing BeHs" and "Take Care, My Love." |
