This handsome and expensive musical adaptation of the Lewis Carroll story is light on plot and satire. It focuses instead on the charm of sweet little Alice and the odd friends she meets on her tour through Looking Glass Land. Charac-ers like Tweedledee and Tweedledum (The Smothers Brothers) and Humpty Dumpty (Jimmy Durante) should please the kids, especially a funny White Queen (Nanette Fabray).

Reynolds, whose physical resemblance to Marlon Brando has often been noted he is sick of it is a very intense young man, with a tendency to be prickly about things he cares for.

After that he moved into Gunsmoke for a couple of seasons to play an Indian half-breed. This was followed, in Hollywood style, by three guest star roles as an Indian.

Jack Webb To Give It By CYNTHIA LOWRY Associated Press Writer New York Burt Reynolds, in custom-made shirt and beautifully tailored slacks, nicked with a fingernail a picture of a suspect, and stated, "Wanted in Massachusetts, wanted here, gand theft He stopped, groaned and turned to the director: "Indian boy no speak well today, Indian boy very tired." They reshot the brief scene, and Reynolds got through his lines without difficulty. The young actor, who plays the title role in ABC and Channel 34's new police drama, Hawk, strolled over to the sidelines as the production crew was preparing for the next shot.

"I'm all tensed up today," he explained. "I'm just sick about our show's ratings. We'll get the word in a few days, but right now I just feel that we're not going to make it." Reynolds was right. The Nielsen ratings were bad and ABC announced the show will be dropped at the end of December. "Well," he said, just before the ax fell, "I've worked as hard as any actor could to make it work.

And what's killing us is this big problemdamn movies in prime time. Obviously it's absolutely impossible for a show that costs $150,000 to go up against a movie that cost $3,000,000 and comes on an hour ahead of us."

In spite of the preliminary low ratings, Hawk received excellent critical notices and was sometimes compared favorably to the old Naked City seires, which also was shot-often on location in New York.

"I've been trying to act out my own idea of a cop not the sensitive type Paul Burke played in Naked City, and certainly not a Green Hornet or Batman," Reynolds said. "I THINK Hawk is a valid cop outwardly cold and calculating as you'd have to be to survive in that kind of a job, but he gets upset inside. If a cop really took things the way Burke did, they'd all be candidates for the funny folk farm. I play Hawk as a catalyst and show how things affect me. I wanted to play him the way Kirk Douglas played 'Detective Story' or like John Garfield always played cops tough and hard.

I hope that 'with all his hostility and obvious appearance how many cops do you see in a Brooks Brothers suit? the audience will appreciate the character's qualities. "Anyway, I wanted to play this Indian my way after all those years of watching TV Indians getting undignified treatment." Reynolds, now in the process of getting a divorce after a short marriage to actress Judy Carne, feels that his career has not suffered by his involvement in Hawk. Even before the Hawk die was cast, he had several offers of jobs including two series. "That isn't what's bothering me now," he said.

"All these jobs gone down the drain if we don't make it," he said sadly. "But I figured and the network people agreed that we'd be clobbered in the first ratings. Hawk is a word of mouth show, and we expected go give it time.

But the network guys look at those ratings and they forget what they've said before and out we go." Reynolds, a Palm Beach boy, was a halfback on Florida College football team when an automobile accident upset his plans to become a professional. He quit college, came to New York City arid turned actor. But in lean periods, he learned he could find jobs as a stunt man. It stood him in good stead in Hawk, where he did all of his own "stunts though it made everybody nervous. If anything should go wrong, the star of the show would be out of action.

"I do the stunts because I can do it better than anyone else," he said, without any suggestion of conceit. "I think I move as well as anybody else I've been doing stunts for 13 years and I've never been hurt. And it works better in the show they can start the stunt closer, where they can see my kisser and then move back so that the audience knows that I'm doing it. It adds something." REYNOLDS HAS crowded a lot of action into his 10 years in television, and this is his third series. His first was River'joat, in which he had the second lead.

52 GIG.WTIS THE FIRE MONSTER A Japanese-made science-fiction saga about two gigantic prehistoric monsters who try to gobble the world. The kids may find it exciting. (1959.) How did it A couple of bigwigs at Universal Studios had the idea, says Webb, to do at least a two-hour show for one of the "original" productions that NBC-TV will alternate with its dwindling supply of movies. This long version is scheduled for a December showing. And the option was picked up.

"I didn't think it would be possitb," the producer star said in his office on the Universal lot. "I wasn't terribly enamored with the idea of doing the show again. But I'm pleased now." Although Webb says he has no idea why his splendidly-done police series is being renewed, there is a strong feeling that the current public interest in law enforcement is a large factor. And if you're going to have a show on such a subject, why not revive one of television's all-time hits? "It'll be interesting to see if the show goes again," says the businesslike Webb. "Our modes have changed.

But if we do make it, I hope it will bring about the reprise of some other favorites. Look at how well Jackie Gleason and Art Carney are doing in the (ADVERTISEMENT) til 4 well. You get the impression from the meticulously groomed Vaughn that he could handle any situation, whether it's the latest perfidy of THRUSH or the taunts of hecklers who attack his real-life opposition to the Viet Nam war. He is articulate and well-read, without the pretentiousness of actors who are Johnny-come-latelies to matters of the intellect. Vaughn has all the answers on matters concerning his career.

Does he chafe under servitude to a television series? "Not at all," he replied airily. "David (McCallum, his sidekick Illy a) and I were discussing our lot last Friday as we watched the show on TV. We both agreed that we were lucky to have had the show. "Before U.N.C.L.E. we were both moderately" well-known actors.

The series not only made us prominent but gave us a bargaining power. The extent of that bargaining power was demonstrated when I did a feature, 'The Venetian last summer. In 10 weeks I earned as much as I earn in 10 months in television." VAUGHN SAID both he and McCallum expect to remain in the series five years, which he now figures to be its life expectancy "if a series can go into its third season with good ratings, as we are doing, it's a pretty safe bet it can last two more." His con-tract ends after five years, and then he would try his luck as a star of features.

Vaughn has an answer for that one, too: "Yes, it's true that only three have made it James. Garner, Steve McQueen and Dick Van Dyke, though Van Dyke is not proven yet.

I feel that I might have a good chance because I don't play a definite occupation in the series. If I were a lawyer or a doctor or a cowboy, I might become more firmly entrenched in the public mind as a certain character." Meanwhile he finds no difficulty in maintaining his zest for Napoleon Solo.
