""The" TV networks are-looking
to the future . . . and are hard at
work grooming new comedians
for television, looking toward the
day when the old established stars
will be fadine from favor. One of
the most promis-
ing of the new
crop is Paul Gil-
bert . . ..and
others include
Harry Mimmo,
Stan Freberg
(tne recording comic), Norman AJ-
den (who first got attention as a
imonologist on Arthur Godfrey's
Talent Scouts), and Sue Carson,
who will get tryouts on NBC's
"Matinee." Look for these and
other new faces in guest shots all
during the coming year.
Steve Allen is working on a Sat-
urday night extension of his "To-
night" show . . . with the Satur-
day network exposure expanding
to a full two hours, from 11 to 1
. . . with more and bigger name
guests appearing in a variety for-
mat.
John Nesbitt, famed for his
"Passing Parade" movie short sub-
jects, is bringing this series to
television. The first "Passing Pa-
rade" subject picked was "The
Stepmother." a story (true to life)
about Abraham Lincoln's stepmo-
ther.
Dinah Shore will ride atop the
Florists' Association float in the
annual New Year's Day Rose Pa-
rade. Theme of the nationally
televised parade will be "Music
Through the Ages." This is one of

nal. See us for better installation,
