“Dress Gray’ is a four-hour adap-
tation of Lucian K. Truscott’s novel
about the murder of a military
academy cadet. On November 24-26,
NBC offers seven hours with “Mus-
solini: The Untold Story,” starring
George C. Scott and Lee Grant.
In may, the network also has the
four-hour saga, ‘Sidney Sheldon’s
Rage of Angels: The Story Contin-
ues.”
CBS: CBS is planning more than
40 hours of spectaculars, highlighted
- by a lavish, $14 million version of
“Alice of Wonderland.” This four-
hour long musical, figuring cost per
hour, could turn out to be the most
costly television show in history.
The cast is certainly impressive and
is being produced by Irwin Allen of
‘“Poseiden Adventure” and ‘“Tower-
ing Inferno’ fame. ‘‘Kane and
Abel,” a seven-hour adaptation of
Jeffrey Archer’s best seller, ‘stars
Peter Strauss and Veronica Hamel
(“‘Hill Street Blues”). It is set to air
in November.
Other mini-series offered by CBS
are “Blood and Orchids,” a true
story of a Navy lieutenant’s wife
who was murdered in Hawaii;
“Saigon,” a seven-hour production
by David Putnam; and “Vietnam”
a 12-hour epic about an embattled
family.
“Sins,” staring Joan Collins as a
Parisian fashion head along with
Lauren Hutton, Gene Kelly and
James Farentino, will air for 6
hours probably in February.
“If Tomorrow Comes,” based on
the book by Sidney Sheldon, stars
Tom Berenger and Richard Kiley,
and “Dream WEst,”” a seven-hour
chronicle of the life and times of
John Charles Fremont, will star
Richard Chamberlain.
Perhaps the most unique of all
mini-series that. will be telecast this
season is CBS’s “Switch,” a story
about the grisly murders of two
women whose heads are decapitated
and switched. Richard Crenna,
Emmy winner for “The Rape of
Richard BEck,” has the lead role.
(Debbey Wysocki is the entertain-
ment writer for The Dallas Post.)
Most of last season’s mini-series
performed disappointingly in the
ratings. Some critics claim the tele-
vision viewing audience is tired of
the mini-series format, while others
maintin the decline in popularity is
a result of a reduction in quality.
Regardless of the reason, the net-
works will still place at least 100
hours of mini-series on the televi-
sion screen this season. Both ABC

I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT about
how lucky we are to live near large
cultural centers like New York and
Philadelphia. With just a few short
hours of traveling, we have the
opportunity to visit: some of the
finest museums and art galleries in
the East.
Few of us,
including myself,
really are aware
of our local cul-
ture. College Mis-
ericordia Art Gal-
lery, for
example, offers
various
KINGSBURY
exhibits throughout the year. Cur-
rently sculpture by Judith Peck
featuring creative unusual pieces is
on display. Some cast bronze items
are featured. The show will run
through Nov. 8.
The Gallery’s intent is to serve
the community. As a fund raiser,
cookbook called “You Are What
You Eat” is on sale. The book
includes recipes for everything from
soup to nuts. Plans are also being
finalized for the Children’s Gift Gal-
lery which will be held Dec. 7. All
gifts are under $1. With Christmas
Dream Makers
comingup, maybe a gallery cook-
book, something from the Children’s
Gift Gallery, or the December 8 Gift
Gallery, will be just the perfect gift
for someone on your list.
Make a visit to the College Miseri-
cordia Art Gallery and see what
fine art work is on display in our
area.
