From his school, Choreographer Balanchine can pick the kind of girls he always wanted for his company. His favorite qualities: 1) long legs, 2) "bird bones" (i.e., lightly boned), 3) small head, 4) strong back.

In his new show, Freberg plays the part of Richard E. Wilt ("When you think of wilted lettuce, think of me"), a gentle bird watcher and shipping clerk, whose lack of aggressiveness makes Wally Cox's Mr. Peepers seem like a pushing extrovert. Scriptwriters Frank and Doris Hursley have supplied Freberg with some amusing situations and some funny lines. That's Rich should shake down into a successful radio show...
