ARDEN ENTERPRISES FONTAINE IN FILLY FORM WORLD-WIDE TALENT TIE Nashville—A giant talent tie-up which will encompass all phases of the entertainment business including TV spectaculars throughout the world has been consummated in a deal between Don Arden Enterprises Ltd. of London, England, and Dub Albritten's, One Niters Inc., of Nashville, to be known as Anglo-American Artists. The fusion of the talent rosters by the two corporate groups was seen as a natural develop• ment widi the growing importance of English and continental artists in the United States and the equally growing importance of American artists abroad. Each firm, while keeping its separate corporate identity, will represent the other's talent in its own country and in those other areas of the world where it holds lucrative talent and booking contacts. Also in the plans are twelve TV spectaculars already committed to be produced in London, Madrid and Berlin for using American artists. First will be that of Brenda Lee and The Casuals in London in late September. Arden and AUbritten will make a concentrated further effort to promote American country artists in Europe. According to X. Cosse, One Niters Inc., general manager, is currently producing entertain• ment packages and this month will send 17 packages into waiting markets. Among these is the Jerry Lee Lewis show which goes to England and the continent; The Red Foley Show; Pete Fountain, The Smothers Brothrs, The Kingston Trio and various cocktail units for whom dates have already been set. Meanwhile, One Niters Inc. which moved into its expanded new office quarters only eight months ago is being forced to move again. The firm has taken over the entire penthouse of the ultra modern 1808 West End Building in Nashville with its panoramic view of Music City, and workmen and decorators are busy making it ready for occupancy by March 15.
