    Stage Door to Switzer Stage Door Sun 1:00-1:30 p.m., 17 Jan-10 Apr 1960 A musical variety show from Winnipeg, Stage Door starred singers Georges LaFleche and Norma Vadeboncoeur, and the quartet of Heather Sigurdson, Evelyn Snider, Olie Alto, and Doug MacIntosh, known as the Stage Four. Bob McMullin was the musical director, with Lloyd Robertson the host and Neil Harris the producer. Star Chart Sat 7:00-7:30 p.m., 3 May-6 Sep 1980 Vancouver d.j. Terry David Mulligan hosted this half-hour musical show, which spotlighted top charting recordings, as determined by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. The program was directed by Michael Watt and produced by Ken Gibson for Doug Hutton Video and the CBC. Startime Tue 9:30-11:00 p.m., 6 Oct 1959-28 Jun 1960 Sponsored by Ford of Canada, Ford Startime was one of the CBC's titles for its prestige, ninety minute drama and variety series, replacing Folio. The broadcast coincided with the NBC series of the same title, and the CBC carried a number of the U.S. programs, which included television drama debuts by Ingrid Bergman and Alec Guinness. The first Canadian production in the series was, ironically, a U.S. play, Arthur Miller's The Crucible, adapted by Mavor Moore, produced by Harvey Hart, and starring Leslie Nielsen. Most of the dramas produced by the CBC for the series were drawn from international sources, not Canadian writers. They included Robert Allen's production of Clearing In The Woods; Summertime, written by Ugo Betti and produced by Eric Till; Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy Of The People,
