KRAFT MUSIC HALL (7)

January 7

Host: Alan King. Guests: David Frye, Michele Lee & Paul Lynde

“The Kraft Music Hall is getting title happy, such as ‘ALAN KING RINGS IN THE NEW YEAR AND WRINGS OUT THE OLD.’ The mostly comedy show features lovely Michele Lee; Paul Lynde and David Frye.”

A good look at the title should tell you what to expect from Alan King and his company of comedy and musical guests — just about everything and anything. Alan and guests Michele Lee, Paul Lynde, David Frye and Gene Baylos find humor in men's fashions, the current avante garde practices of off Broadway and films, astrology, the moon landing, and New Year's Eve parties. A highlight of the hour is impressionist David Frye's bits as President Johnson, President Nixon, Governor Rockefeller And Truman Capote.

But that’s not all.
