PERRY MASON (CBS, 9-10 p.m.). "The Case of the Final Fade-Out," the last new episode of this nine-year-old series, which is now being turned out to the pasture where the reruns grow. Three producers of the series will appear as extras in the episode, and Author Erie Stanley Gardner will play the judge.

...ladies play revolutionaries touring Mexico as chanteuses in a vaudeville troupe. Much fuss is made over the coincidence of their both being named Marie, but it's never played for the Plautian confusions suggested when someone Anglicizes "Marie et Marie! Tres bon!"
