The new George Gobel-Eddie Fisher songfest was not exactly the "wonderful show" Eddie called it, but shy, impish Lonesome George again proved himself the master of the minor key-even when delivering a monologue plugging NBC color. Of all the new musicals, the best was the simplest: The Lux Show (replacing the old Lux Theater), with blonde, willowy Rosemary Clooney.

At first, songwriters resisted this practice, but now many of them welcome it. They not only share the fees with their publishers, but they get regular ASCAP...
