American sub is menaced by a giant octopus that was the result of an H-bomb explosion 3 PM 0 Professional Boxing Special Ann Hodges TV*radio editor ABC may be inching up in its bid for the evening news prize. There’s been no dramatic upswing since Roone Ar- iedge overhauled the format and installed his three an chor desks. But for the past few weeks, the ABC audi ence share, stalemated for ages at 19 percent, has moved above 20. ABC still can’t match the competition by a long shot, but TV’s constant numbers-watchers also note that CBS, the traditional leader in national news, has been engaged in its own horse race lately with NBC. For at least several weeks this fall season, NBC pulled out front by a fraction of a ratings point. However. CBS has recaptured the slight advantage and is hanging in there. ABC. meanwhile, will announce within a few weeks a fourth anchor desk in that nightly news lineup, this one to be reporting from Los Angeles. The talent search is on to pick that West Coast news star. Bulletin board CBS liked the way last Sunday’s test market lineup delivered, so it will make the shift permanent. As of Sunday, Oct. 29, “All In the Family" moves up to 7, followed by “Alice" at 7:30, “Kaz" at 8 and “Dallas" at 9. But “American Girls," which last week landed at rock bottom — a most deserved honor — may not be long for the CBS world. On Nov. 20, the network will try shifting it to “Flying High’s" Friday time slot, but that’s a one- shot-only. Thereafter, CBS advises, “the future of ‘American Girls’ will be determined" . . . The Union Jack has been pulled, and for the first time in eight seasons, there’s no unfurling of the flag to announce “Masterpiece Theater’s" arrival. That PBS series of British-made dramas is getting a whole new opening, starting with Sunday night’s premiere episode of “The Duchess of Duke Street.” The British flag has been replaced by a stroll through what “Masterpiece" produc er Joan Sullivan calls “everyone’s ideal library, beauti fully bound volumes of great literature from all over the world, and memorabilia from ‘Masterpiece Theater's’ finest moments.” The books are borrowed from Prince ton’s Rare Book Library and backed by §40.000 worth of antiques and props, including a few from the producer's own attic. There’s also an old family photo of the Bella mys of “Upstairs/Downstairs”, an antique model “Poldark” ship, and sepia-tinted portraits of all manner of “Masterpiece Theater” stars. Two things haven’t changed — the now-famous strains of the opening theme. “Fanfare for the Kings" by Mouret, and the quality of excellence that marks those “Masterpiece Theater" dramas it heralds . . . The CBS executive in charge of “Blood and Money" indicates it may be at least another six months before there’s any firm cast or production date on Houston filming of that mini-series based on Tommy Thompson’s best-seller. Whalon Green has just finished scripting the first two-hour episode. (Tommy declined that honor.) And he has eight more TV chapters to go. Until the whole thing’s written, our CBS source cautions, any reports on casting are "strictly rumors and highly premature." The home front Ch. 8 producer Liz Kaderli is walking on air since PBS picked her “Christmas Festival of Harps" for holiday distribution to the full 270-station network. That half-hour special stars the nine young harpists of the Houston Harp Ensemble, directed by Beatrice Schroeder Rose, with a sprinkling of 5 and 6-year-old Houston harp students as special guests. Liz produced the Christ mas concert, with Dan Rogers as director, for presentation on Ch. 8 December 21. That same date. PBS will feed it to other stations, to be aired whenever they choose be tween then and Christmas ... Late word from NBC’s “Today" is that Tom Brokaw just has n’t found the time to run that filmed feature on Mickey Gilley’s Pasadena hoedown palace. But don't give up Gilley fans. NBC says it’s coming, and they’ll let us know when...Ch. 39 news director Robert A. Knowl- ton is back from a fact finding trip to Taiwan as guest of that country's information agency ... Ch. 26 made a new three-year deal with the Houston Astros' net work of 10 stations. Ch. 26 will up the coverage from 50 to between 60 and 80 regular season road games, and Gene Elston and Dewavne Staats will continue as voices of the Astros. Angel Tompkins portrays the daughter of a slam Navy admiral and Vincent Baggetta is the man who must solve the puzzle surrounding the death, on tonight’s episode of ‘'The Eddie Capra Mysteries,' 1 at 9 on NBC and Ch. 2. 'Annie' attracting huge crowds; author worried about child stars BY MARILYN BECK ©1978, United Features HOLLYWOOD - “Annie" author Thomas Meehan, in Hollywood for the Los Angeles opening of his enchanting hit musical, has some worries about the play. What worries him. he says, “is the fact we might be doing harm to the youngsters we hire for the show by distorting their childhoods so drastically." That’s quite a brood of youngsters he's taken it upon himself to worry about: Annie and her young orphanage friends of the Broadway stage: two American tour ing companies of the show (with another “truck and bus” troupe planned for smaller u.S. cities): plus London and Australian productions; and “Annie" stage rights already soid in Japan, Mexi co, Brazil. Italy and the Scandinavian countries. Meehan is relieved and awed at the manner in which the “Annie" juveniles (all of whom have had little or no prior theatrical experience) have adjusted to the pace and pressures of the limelight. “You should see them running around playing tag backstage while the adult per formers sit around nervously waiting for the performance to begin. "The children are remarkable. They seem to take everything in stride." Not so some of the mothers. Meehan is fascinated by watching the mothers of the tots while they're watching their darlings on stage. "Their eyes are riveted on their daughters and you can see how they are living vicariously through them. Almost without exception they are women who had dreams of show ■ business careers that didn’t pan out." He recalls the mother who became so upset because her daughter didn’t get a particular featured role in "Annie,” she jumped the woman whose daughter had been selected for that part. He reveals that the mother of Danielle Brisebois wasn’t content to wait for her tot to work up through the line of orphans io the role of Annie. "Danielle started out as the featured iittlest orphan' and when she outgrew the part her mother decided she didn’t want her in an interim lesser role and pulled her out of the play." Da nielle is now featured weekly on "All in the Family." Stage mothers aren’t the extent of Mee han's problems. He reveals that Sandy has also caused troubles on more than one occasion. Some may imagine a pooch would be grateful for the chance to lead a dog’s life other dogs might envy — mob bed by fans, honored at the White House, seated with the “Annie" cast at formal banquets. Tom reveals that, though the Broadway Sandy has learned to be quite profession al, the mongrel selected for the L.A. production has already gone Hollywood. "She’s a ham," the author declares. "She walked out on stage to great ap plause during the review performance, and promptly began rolling over and scratching herself, none of which was in the script, of course." That wasn't nearly as embarrassing as the performance turned in by the Sandy selected for Eng lish stage glory.
