...brilliant French mime, Marcel Marceau, is "the art of expressing feelings by attitudes and not a means of expressing words through gestures." When Skelton this week shut his mouth for half an hour, he demonstrated Marceau's point better than any of the other U.S. performers-Caesar. Gleason Kovacs-who have tinkered fitfully with the unspoken attitude. Skelton shuffled through the pathetic attempts of Freddie the Freeloader to cadge a Thanksgiving dinner from the Elite Restaurant.

...Comedian Gleason (CBS), more energetic than ever after slimming down from 284 Ibs to 220, forgot to put the same pep in his format. Only fresh element to appear is Rumdum, who gets thrown out of saloons in pantomime; otherwise Gleason has retreaded the old sit-bys, e.g., the Poor Soul, Reggie Van Gleason III.
