£ THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Burrows—A Salesman of Funny Notions

ABE BURROWS, the side-of-the-mouth sage, is in the market for a rubber clock and

an elastic calendar. He needs them to let him crowd in all he wants. to do. Already Jack of half a dozen theatrical trades, he's now taking part’ in “The Name's the S8ame,” 3 p. m,, Sunday on Channel 6. . He's also writing and directing “Three Wishes for Jamie” for Broadway and a book called “Burrows from Within.” “The book's semiautobiogra~ phical,” he says. “That means autobiographical with two wheels.” Burrows is a man who is known for his achievements and for his personal Three B's: Brilliance, Buffoonery and Baldness, Burrows has called himself “the hairless Hildegarde” (he sings, after a fashion), and once

It was called “Breakfast With Burrows (He Gets Up Late).” His commercials were equally unconventional. To-wit: “If you don't buy it, Burrows don't eat.” He has seen in demand as] a TV guest ever since and now lends his gutteral charm to “The Name's the Same.” For all this, Abe doesn’t consider himself a performer. “I'm
