The thousands who have enjoyed him in films and on the air now find him doing some of the same characterizations that v.. . ; "RED" SKELTON they enjoyed, but he plans to add some new ones. In this new medium he is, of course, screamingly funny. He is supported by David Rose, musical conductor and composer, and the Skylarks vocal group.
