"And then, all at once, I just seemed to catch on," she reports. Judging from her New York notices, she has definitely "caught on." Jane worked at WSEE, Erie, for some time after leaving Pittsburgh and later free-lanced in Philadelphia. She has been on the ABC New York station for only three months.
"Miss Jane" Is Island Newcomer
Seven children from four to six years old will appear on the show, each such group being on for a two-week period. "There will be three areas in Rainbow House," Miss Jane explains, "a school room, a play room and a story corner." The youngsters will take part in various activities, even to having their own band. They also will meet a variety of storybook characters that Miss Jane brings with her to the Islands. The Rainbow House producer began her television work in Pennsylvania, where she presented a number of different types of shows. She later became a well-known figure in New York, particularly noted for her Romper Room program, a children's show which was similar in content to the one she will present here. September 21-27, 1958
Rainbow House an Immediate Success on KONA
Jane Fisher, who recently came to the Islands, formerly worked in New York on Channel 7's Romper Room. Working with pre-school children, Miss Jane has won local audiences with her charm and ability to make the children enjoy attending Rainbow House each afternoon. Every two weeks new children are used. They play games, build and draw, have a "milk break," a prayer, and then enjoy story time. The phone calls came immediately telling of their appreciation for such a show. November 1958
