That enviable position is enjoyed in 1937, he has been working al-

ingly popular TV series "Ramar of
the Jungle "
"During the past five months, I
haven’t worked a bit,” he tells us
about two years ago, he struck a
crossroads in his career
"I was still working—I had a
contract for three pictures a year
at Columbia,” he recalled. "But I

This happy prosperity is af- fun you don’t think
forded by the edonomics of syndi- adenourthinkpro-
eated TV films. A star can work dressing in your career
like a demon for a period, then
relax and allow the films to go
out and bring in the loot. In the
case of "Ramar" the system has
been successful beyond the back-
ers' fondest dreams. The jungle
show is on 120 stations in the

WILLIAM IL WALKER
"Rudy Flothew, who was a pro-
ducer at Columbia, came to me
with the idea of doing a TV series’
together At first I was reluctant
to leave the security of a studio.
But the idea sounded exciting, so
I took a chance.-"
So they scraped together $252.-
000 and knocked out IS films about
Ramar. Hall finished his chore and

To Graduate
William R. Walker, 24, will be
graduated June 4 from the U. S.
Naval Academy in Annapolis. Md.
He is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mack H Walker, 1217 Sycamore
left in September 1952 to entertain St. Upon his graduation, Midship-
troops in Korea In the two months man Walker will receive a Bache-
he was gone, he kept wondering lor of Science degree and be com-
if the show would sell. =
; Unknown to him, the show was
sold to the first station, KTTV in
. Los Angeles. When he returned to |
, the States, kids at the airport
shouted, "Hey, there's Ramar!"
"When I heard that, I knew we
were in," he said
The show began selling all over
the country. Hall went to work
turning out a total of 52 chapters
at a cost of a million dollars. By
now it was a safe investment. The
outlay of a million was already
covered by the returns before the
52 films were finished. Now the re-
ceipts are pure gravy.
This fall Ramar has to go back
to work and make another 39
films. Hall doesn’t mind a bit. It's I
not only-because he is thinking of J
the money he's making the figures
the present series will be money
makers for another 15 to 20 years).
He also likes the action pictures. |
