Peter (Herman) Noone is due to fly into Los Angeles within the next few weeks to begin work on a 90-minute TV spectacular which NBC-TV is expected to screen on December 25, 1968.     He will play the title part in a new Walt Disney TV production of "Pinocchio" and there will be at least five new numbers for him to sing in the show. World Premiere     The world premiere of the "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" is scheduled to take place at New York's Radio City at Easter and Herman's Hermits will be Guests of Honor. Agent Danny Betesh had postponed the group's preposed April concert tour of America since Herman will not be spending so much time on the West Coast in the early part of this year.     An unconfirmed London rumor suggests that the part of Pinocchio was first intended for Davy Jones but it is not clear whether or not the Monkee turned down an offer before Herman was approached and signed.     When Herman's Hermits crossed the Atlantic for Christmas and New Year TV engagements in America, the group's drummer, Barry Whitwam, was accompanied by his bride, Dale, whom he had married ten days before Christmas in Swinton.
