This {s your chance to sound, off—and
t TV Critic Bernie Harrison will do his best
to answer questions. Please keep letters
brief. Pen names will be used if desired.
Dear Bernie:
Did anybody else get disgusted by John
Daly Tuesday night? All he did all evening was
repeat ad nauseum, “This is John Daly.” it got
horlng. Frank Daley.
Most viewers to whom I have talked who
watched the elections on Channel 7 did so be
cause of Mr. Daly—not in spite of him.

Dear Bernie:
I haven’t seen Danny Thomas’ wife on the
Danny Thomas show yet this year. What hap
pened? Will she be on the show any? Is Danny’s
foot really hurt or just part of the show?
B. H.
Jean Hagen, who played the part, asked to
be released from her contract. The show re
sumed this year without a wife for Danny, the
implication being that he is now a widower.
THI SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C
Since this is a comedy show, the writers wisely
do not refer to this. As for the foot, Danny really
injured it playing basketball.

Dear Mr. Harrison: *
Some friends of ours sent us a copy of your
column headed “This Was Omnibus at Its
Finest’’ in which you say some very compli
mentary things about the film “The Day Mano
lete Was Killed.”
*We felt complimented particularly because
this show apparently appeared to you to be
from live television. The facts are this was
made on 16mm film with a 16mm sound track
from an extraordinary miscellanea of photo
graphs, movie frames, snap shots, magazine
illustrations and colored pictures, not to men
tion some rather poor newspaper pictures , . .
Thank you very much for your comments
