The Other Face Of Patty Duke

The next time we chance upon the “Patty Duke Show” in our viewing time, it will be like looking through a family photograph album and recognising an early snapshot of a favourite niece. Because it was a very different Patty Duke who appeared in “Journey To The Un-

known” last Thursday night Gone—but only until next Wednesday afternoon was the sweet and cheerful little Patty Duke familiar to television audiences. In her place, a weary American business girl, on holiday at an English seaside. And instead of the little family crises, the college affairs, was a sometimes quite chilling drama. It was almost like Shirley Temple playing Lady Macbeth—and getting away with it. “The Last Visitor” was a very much better piece than one might have expected it to be, and it went to show that Patty Duke, the senior, is an actress of considerable accomplishments. Perhaps she displayed a little more stoicism than one might have expected of a young girl, sent away on holiday because of overwork and an unhappy affair of the heart, when thrust into the!

frightening situations of this play. But perhaps some girls are like that.

Patty Duke did extremely well, and so did that experienced actress, Kay Walsh, as the hotel proprietress. And it is to be hoped that the All Blacks are as accurate in their passing in today’s test as Patty Duke was when she heaved the bedside lamp at her unwelcome visitor.

“Journey to the Unknown” is by no means the series least worthy of attention at present. “Ironside” lacked much appeal this time, falling as it did between the sentimental and the sensational—lronside and his team seeded to enjoy spending so much time nursing the baby, and the terror of the gentleman with the liking for bombs was often well forgotten. —PANDORA. ON CAMERA An interview with a Health Department doctor on new vaccines is included in “On Camera” tomorrow. Other items include the continuation of the new method of drafting dress patterns, and a discussion on education at the University of Canterbury.
