BARRY NEWMAN: Petrocelli’s alter-ego finds hotel room better than apartment for the single male on TV location. Hi • 1 Ask Dick Kleiner TV cheap games By Dick Kleiner DEAR DICK: How can all those daytime TV game shows give away the money and merchandise they do? — L.N.J., Stillwater, Okla. To TV, which is a big money operation, what the game shows give away is peanuts, or maybe cashews. Much of the merchandise is given by the manufacturers, in exchange for the plug on the air. The cash when measured against the cost of a dramatic show is nothing. A game show is still the cheapest kind of programming, relatively, there is. DEAR DICK: Can you tell me what you can find out about , Harve Presnell, who played in the movie, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” and what he is doing today? — MRS. NIKKI OLDENBURGER, Iron Springs, Alberta, Canada. Harve’s agent tells me he’s just returned from a tour with “Molly Brown” and an engagement in London where he aj>- ’ peared in the musical version of “Gone With The Wind.” He’s doing mostly stage work these days. It’s really a shame that a man with such a glorious voice can’t find film or TV work, while the creepy-peepies with their nonvoices make for > tunes. DEAR DICK: Some years ago there was a TV series called Jim Bowie. Please, could you tell me who played the title role? - MRS. SHARON PERTUIT, Violet, La. • Sure could. It was Scott Forbes, and, to answer your next question, the series ran on ABC. from ’56 to ’SB. DEAR DICK: I would like to know what year Lee Meriwether (of Barnaby Jones) was Miss America. — MRS. A. LEONHARDT, San Jose, Calif. That little fact is now omitted from Lee’s official biogra phy. I guess she doesn't want people to pinpoint her age that precisely. But it’s a matter of record — the beautiful Miss • Meriwether was Miss America 1955. DEAR DICK: Do you remember the actor Patrick McGoohan? He starred in the TV series. Secret Agent and The Prisoner, and in such movies as “Ice Station Zebra” • and “Mary, Queen of Scots.” I would like to know what he is presently doing and where he is. — MRS. ELAINE MEDASIE, Claysburg, Pa. McGoohan is still a very active person. He acts and he directs and, although he lives in England, he goes where the action is. You may have seen him in a recent edition of Peter Falk’s Columbo. He made a dandy villain. DEAR DICK: Does Kojak smoke a special brand of cigars • and cigarettes? If not, what is the brand name? - JONATHAN DIAZ, Thibodaux, La. When the show began, they pointedly stressed that Kojak (Telly Savalas) was trying to quit smoking. He sucked on . Tootsie Pops instead. But he still smokes some - he smokes Shermans, those brown-colored cigarettes. DEAR DICK: Will you tell us why the FBI isn’t on any more. That was our family’s favorite program. Now after v the Lawrence Welk show is over we just turn the TV off. The new shows that were advertised all summer long are lousy as usual. Is there any way to get The FBI back on? — THE THOMPSON FAMILY, Joplin, Mo. No way at all. The show had-a long and healthy run. The ratings had begun to drop off. The show had just about ex hausted the story material available to it and, as a matter of fact, The FBI had become Fairly Boring Indeed. • (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Especially if a man is single. Its not an unpleasant prob lem. But, for Barry Newman, who shoots the NBC series Petrocelli here it’s something that is always in the back of his mind. And, often, it is thrust into the front of his mind. They were shooting out in the desert, some 15 miles west of Tucson. Fantastically beautiful country. Barry, looking out of his place in his citified suit, shirt and tie, was halfway up a mountain with guest star Strother Martin and some others. After the lunch break, they would move on to another spot. It would mean lugging the heavy cameras and the rest of the equipment to an other place, back down the mountain. At the break, we had lunch in Barry’s neat but not gaudy trailer. He took off his Count ess Mara tie — “I’m supposed to be an impoverished lawyer but I have to wear expensive ties because they are the only ones heavy enough to support one of these microphones.” He talked about the girls. What made him think of girls was a box of cupcakes left in the trailer. “Have one of these,” he said. Then he laughed and added, “They were made for me by the mother of a girl who said, ‘You’re not going to leave Arizona without me.’ ” There are all kinds of girls pursuing him here, not just Page 9 the nice, homey kind who have mothers that make him cupcakes. A The prop man this morn ing tola me,” Barry said, “that one of the strippers at the Blue Note wants to meet me. She may be very nice, you never know.” There are, he said, with a satisfied smile, plenty of girls around who are intrigued by the star of a Hollywood TV series, even if it isn’t one of the year’s greatest hits. The girls range from cupcake daughters to strippers to col legians. “The University of Arizona is here,” Barry said, “and there are a lot of pretty and bright girls there. It’s a different kind of life for Newman, basically a city boy and a very sophisticated one. Life is strange, he finds, while living in a Tucson — Griffin Daily News Thursday, tMi . .’t ;1,1974 hotel. A bulletin board in the hotel lobby reminds him that the Alfalfa Improvement and Forage Insect Conference is now in session. He’s exploring the state on his days off. He has a contract which is very liberal, as TV contracts go. He has both Sunday and Monday off. “My contract,” he says, “was based on the one Jim Franciscus had. Jim got it after he had done several series and knew what he wanted. One of the big things he got and I got, too, was two consecutive days off.” “Sundays I just relax,” he says, “and Mondays I explore the state.” Home, to Barry Newman,' is still New York. His parents are back home in Boston. But here, he lives in a hotel room, which is unusual. Most stars, when on location, insist on an apartment or a rented house. “I tell you why I prefer a room,” Newman says. “It all goes back to Bud Freeman.” Freeman was the great sax player. As a young man, Bar ry played the sax, too, and Freeman was one of his idols. “I met him and got to know him pretty well, Newman says. “Until he recently got married — he was in his 60s when he married a psy chiatrist — he spent all his life in hotel rooms. And he al ways said that, for a single man, that was the best way to live. I like hotel rooms; any thing I want I just ring for room service.” And, in case there’s a girl around, room service can be a very pleasant, unobtrusive thing to have.
