...Martha Raye Show (alternating Tuesdays, 8 p.m., NBC). Tireless Trouper Raye bounced through songs and dances, but even her magnificent energy and Guest Star Wally Cox's support failed to pull along the old story line. The gags were hysterical, the mugging furious, and the sponsor (Hazel Bishop lipstick) added to the confusion by forcing its inane commercials into the action...

By retailing the same kind of theatrical glamour to housewives as well, it has grown into a cosmetic giant, with some 200 different kinds of lipstick, face powder, talcum, cologne, mascara, face cream, shampoo and soap. In 1953 alone, Davis Factor and Max Factor Jr., the brothers who run the company as chairman and president, counted net sales of $19 million in 101 countries, with profits...
