Back to School With Maverick! :)

Hi!

With the nation's kids either back in or getting ready to return to school, I thought it would be fun to share this article from 1958. It was written by a perceptive pupil for a New York newspaper (I like how she gives JK first billing):

"Maverick Found Interesting Show Among Students

by Arlene W.

At 7:00 pm Wednesday, Channel 8, and 6:30 pm Sunday, Channel 5, Maverick can be seen.

Jack Kelly and James Garner play Bart and Bret Maverick. Although Maverick is considered a 'western', it really isn't. The main characters, Bart and Bret, aren't robbers, sheriffs, or famous western persons. They earn their living by gambling. The stories take place anywhere, in California, Mexico and even New Orleans.

The girls are inclined to like Maverick. Jack Kelly and James Garner are two tall, dark, handsome and terrific actors. The [school's] girls chorus could have heard 'I'm Goin' Away', a song which they have learned, on a recent program.

The opinion of many people is that Maverick is an interesting and entertaining program. Do you watch Maverick?"
