Keep 'em Rolling had a big-name debut. Its theme ditty, composed for the occasion by Rodgers & Hart, came bugle-like from the lips of musical comedy's forceful Ethel Merman. Master of Ceremonies Clifton Fadiman (with a cute script) kept the program rolling. He discussed the spider situation with a Cleveland professor who has made a specialty of extracting spider silk direct from the producer for cross hairs in range finders.

When it comes to acting, Miss Hayworth is probably a little less boisterous than Ginger was in her heyday, but in a more serious...
