NBC: Nothing But Commercials

By BOB HOPE

V Hollywood.

I want U congratulate NBC on its Silver Jubilee Yet
sir. NBC' baa entered Ha J5th year ol successful operation
despite the fact that I ve been with them for 15 of those
years NBC la now the great eat radio-TV network in the
• world And to think M all atarted

with David Sarnoff and juat one crya-
tal art’

The rotnpanv has really prospered.
In fact. It s done so well that to a lot
ol people in our busineaa. NBC' viands
for "nothing but commercials

One thing happened that put a
alight damper on the relebration.
They just signed me for another five
years H a a unique contrail the
options come up every tut minute*
But I m not worried I always spend
m> weekend* in an oxygen tent any*
way... V

Ml always have • soft spot in my bankbook for NBC be-
eause I started my radio career ovrr at their foundry.
You remember radio . that's television without thy
cv entrain Of ctNNrtw. being a comedian waa a lot easier
in tho«e days. We werenY getting all that competition
from Congress, ft was a rtneh to get laughs. All you had
to do was call up your sponsor and mention money

Radio was rently different then. "Young Doctor
Malone ‘ was still working his wa> through medical school
Lum ' hadn't even met * Absier” . i . and Gabriel
Meatier was Just getting warmed up

There was no roast -to-coa*t network, either My pro-
gram went as far as Glendale and Wells-Fargo took it
from there I II never forget my first show. My knees
mere knocking But I created a sensation in radio Even
The Happiness Boys were crying After I was through
fishnet Meatier came on and said ' Therr a had news
tonight"

I've told $ lot of jokes since then 1 don't know ex*
aitly how many but f can always check with Eerie

Be used to think radio was tough work Then came
television . There's really a tough racket At first, people
werent too particular about what they saw on TV It was
hew and novel and it was enough of a thrill just to see
the furniture light up

But now they're really discriminating They sit there
with their fingers on the tuning knob and if they don't
HlMrjjNau.. they atm ply switch to i—ther channel I heard
«t one guy who switched channels «s fast he saw Hopa-
long Cassidy riding i can of Alas Cleanser.

TV has revolutionised show business and especially
comedy Note, people want to see what fkm Wilson has
keen laughing at all these years.

Doing a new radio show each week is lough but it's *
ptenu compared to TV. Television uses up material faster
than Errol Flynn uses up address books And it>» tougher
to get yokes these days King Farouk u married . ^ ,
bv « sold his horses It'll be awt'wi if D*gm*r

TV i* so complicated; ' Ypu Ve got to memorise liner,
have costume fittings makeup tests, rimers rehearsals.
Yihi have no Mea how hard it is to do all that at the Stork
Club . ' v

It really takes a lot out of you ft's ama/ing to me
how those older comedians like Sid Caesar. Jackie Ci lesson
and Martin and Uwti can do a n* * I v allow every w ea k .

I didnt have' any trouble with my television debut.
Fortunately. I televise beautifully IsnV it wonderful
what a good makeup man can do?. Mv makeup man is
rcaily terrific at camouflage. He used to be a used car
dealer

are On my first show, one man in the audience turned
to hi* wife and said. "What'4 happened to Kate Smith s

the FBI is still chocking thorn

I m not sore about it but while I wasn't looking NBC
hired « lot of other comedian * They ve got J immy

wireless men began to foresee, the
possibilities of making the wireless
talk and sing instead of merely send-
ing dots and dashes The electron
tube was the key that opened ihe wav
for full development of the rediotete-

The question brought up in Connec-
tion with the Silver Jubilee h When
did broadcasting begin* That is like
asking when a baby began to talk

•fYn# art. we can go bark at least 45 years to the year
when Profesxog Reginald Fessenden -recorded Ik

alternator at Brant Hock Mass -not electron tubes Wire
Ji«g Operator* on ships as far awev as the Virginia enn*
were startled to pick up the voices and melodies And they
wondered from where this magic originated

Nest, we may turn the calendar to January 13 lgid
for on that date Enrico Caruso and Emmy Destmn sang
into a radiophone tare transmitter! hooked up hi Dr la*e :
deforest hackstag. of the Metropolitan Opera House
These songs wr re heard by the operator of the AM Av< m
at sea and by w trele*s amateur* a« f*r away as Bridgeport
Conn. Hut even deforest must have brrn surprised at
these "long distance*’ reports for 40 years later he re-
marked I used the arc be< su*e I had vet to discover that

ft was apparent, however, that there could be music in
the air Further evidence was detected in September
11113. when Prime Albert, ruler of the principality of
Monaco sailed into New York Marh**r on hi* yacht Miron -
dclle equipped with a wireless piano, the melodies of
which amaced wireless amateurs over a .considerable
radius

• These experiment* greatly stimulated the imagination

And a year later w t»J5 the American Telephone and

• | have in mind a plan of development which would
make radio a hou.M hold utility m the tame smae as •
piano or a phonograph. The idea ia to bemg music into
tbo bouse by wireless . . . 'For example a radio telephone
transHiittet having a range .of vav 25 to 5d miles can be
installed at a Ased point where instrumental or Vocal
music or iMith are produced . . . The receiver can be
designed in the form of a ditiple ‘radio must* box* and
arranged for several different wavelengths which should
bt changeable with the throwing of a single switch or
pressing of a single button . . . The same principle can
be extended !o numerous oilier fields* — as for example-
receiving lectures at home which ran be made perfectly
audible, alao events of national importance can be annul-
taneouvly announced and received This proposition wou'd
be eypet lally interesting to farmer* and others living in
outlying districts removed from cities - By the purchase
of a radio Music box they could enjoy concerts, lecture*,
music recitals etc . which may be going on in the nearest
City within their radius ... Should this plan materiaiife.
H would seeth reasonable to expect sales Of I.0M.MI
•radio music boxes' within a period of three years "

’Then came World War I and all attention to the deveU
opment of the radiophone was ioncent rated on its wartime ■
possibilitu> As a result, great advance* were made in
development of the electron tube, new microphone* were
developed and various devices needed to make the wne*
less vocal and melodic were now available Wireless ama-
tpfcrs quickly caught on to l$e idea and they began tu
build radiotelephone transmitter* to chat w ft h each other.
Prominent among the-M* pioneer- wa» Frank Conrad qho
owned amateur station 8XK at Pittsburgh, Pa lie began
broadcasting phonograph record* and M November 2.
lN2u, made news and history by broadcasting the Harding-
Cox election returns. This station becime the historic
KDKA In the annals of radio that »s generally consid-
ered the beginning of public broadcast ini. As a re<u't,
the broadcast “rrate ' swept the country and amateurs
everv w here— and thousands who had never been inter-
ested in wireless began building * radio music boxes * that
featured crystal detectors and tuning coll* wound on roll-

There's no doubt about At; TV broadcasting has been,
end I pred i ct it will continue to be. the fastest growing
postwar service to the public. ;

In the nest five years, the ni — h a r of te j —l at — aU«
lion* in the U 8. could well increase tenfold— with the
opening up of more than 1 000 new stations in what we
engineers call the Lit— High frequency it'HFt band.

It s not foolhardy to say that in the next 10 years there
might well be M.000.000 television sets In use In the li S.

Yea. through televUion, we are on the verge of an era
when anything happening anywhere, at any time, in the
world can be seen everywhere else— and at the same
instant : ; A, A;A ..'A. A A " ’A V ■ A. AAA

lis a fantastic idea. Isn't It' Y.t who, 23 years ago.
would have believed that a quarter of a century hence
the National Broadcasting Co would have a network of
111 radio stations and that television broadcasting would
be rivalling radio broadcasting in its cultural impart on
our everyday lives? v ; .;U • '

It was pioneering research bv the engineers and artaw-y
tests of such companies as NBC. and its parent Radio ■
Corp of America, that made Mack -and- white television
paortBftt. No w tbeaa same scientists have added a new
power ta telev i sion— full color.. 'V
But the Jab of m ak t ag the fullest use af television
broadcasting as — educational aid entertainment medium
ta bow out of the hands of Scientists,

It la in the hands of the producers '

And 1 don't envy them the )ob they have in store.

: Television is already gobbling up thousands of hours
of talent every weak. With the coming of a truly nation*
wide television service, the writing, producing, and arting
genius of America will be sorely taxed

Neither will money alone suffice Money can buy genius
and stimulate it. But it can never create it
fortunately, tha a a o d for writing and acting talent wilt
doubtless induce many capable and inspired people to
enter the television field Schools for the training of
such workers will be established The high level of TV
entertainment will thus be maintained

Wh— we speak of television our first thought is of
visual entertainment in the living room And quite
rightly, for television broadcasting has far outstripped
the other phases of this science

But there are three ether highways along which tele*
vision will advance An tha n— 129 years. And each bears
w stchinf, . \ .

The first twa are aspects of television as entertainment
These are subscription telev ision and theatre television
But the third, is none of these— it ia the application of
television to science and industry'.

Let's examine them in the order named.

Subscription television is the newest aspect of living
room television entertainment /

Proponents of subscription television say that this is
the only way In which really top-drawer fare — first run
films. Mg sports events, Broadway play * — could ever ap-
pear on television , Conceivably such a service could
make available millions of dollars a week for the pro-
duction of programs.

' Estimates have varied w ideiy as to the number of
people who would subscribe to s "Pay TV plan ** My
own feeling is that the number of subscribers would de-
pend entirely on the cost of the service and the quality
of the programs available

Actually, there is one Mg question mark ia the future
of subscription television Will the federal Government,
which has always looked upon the ether as free, allow
an organisation to charge the public to see a show broad-
cast over it? * A

l atil that question Is answered once and for all. all tha
talk about subscription TV is g matter of conjecture.

There is one other question that bothers people when
they ask about subscription TV. It Is: How do you fix up
a broadcast so that pd— le esn see it only if they pay
for it? . . :..

In the recant test in Chicago, the picture put on the
sir appeared in garbled form oa the home receiver, until
it was decoded by a signal that came over the telephone
wire. To gat the decoding gimmick ta work the subscriber
bad ta dial the telephone operator Viewers were then
billed for the shows — their telephone bills
Actually, decoding a program can ha done by several
Other means.

TW second aspect of television entertainment to bear
watching Is theatre television

Where the average home television pictutre is 30 inches
wide, theatre television pictures are 20 feet wride, and
ot a quality that compares to many movies
^Progranw reach theatres by coaxial cable or radio relay.
There are twa ways of getting a televised picture — ta
x theatre screen. One is ta —cord an incoming television
procram — film, run it through an ultra-fast processing.
Jh— put it an a regular movie projector A second way
H ta project tha incoming image directly — ta tha screes
by mea n s uf s powerful kinescope and optical system.

We engineers even have a new word for the compact
systems that have been developed with special »ted uses

experiment near explosive* under manufacture

As an example imagine a textile mill in which there
•re 2d looms which —qmre fanstant supervision by one
man A small televisi— camera could be trained — each
one id these looms arid at a central point in the null
the supervisor could watch; each of these on one or 20
television sc— s

In New YoA City a large utility company has such a
CM— trained on the smokestacks Of its power plant.
■The ■ viewing scre— lii placed iiext i«* the contiou m the
boiler riHun so that the engineer can see when the boilers

In medical training industrial television systems have
already proved invaluable It is always helpful fur young

surgeon’s shoulder )( is possible (or a large group of
doctors to watch the operation «o a television screen better
than it th»*v were crowded into the, operating roam

An industrial television system, such ax that developed
bv RCA Laboratories, consist* of a small camera al***u» the
sire of a 19m home movie camera It weighs less than
10 pounds The reason the camer* can l*e vo smalt is
that It uses a small pickup tube, instead of the fairly targe
image orthtcon. which is standard equipment in studio
cameras Tlo camera Is connected by coaxial Cable to a
control unit w hit h ia about the sue of a small home TV
**t. and font nn* the puttwr rrni ~ T “';

Recently the scientist v at Hr A laboratories took their
industrial televiafnir •> stent one step further They built
a backpack television transnuitci to go with the small
camera, thus giving it complete, wireless freedom

This application brings within the realm of paaaiMIHy
a teteviaion news reporter A reporter assigned to cover

• fire, for example, could tarry this equipment to the
scene of the event, train his camera an the blear and de-
scribe it to his home office aver a roirruph*»nr buiil ia

Back la the city room the rewrite man could write the
story as he Watches event* take place on the screen and
listen* to the comments of the reporter At the um<
time photograph* could he takes right off the prctuis
tube and sent to the engraver*.

When I recently mentioned v«ch an application to a
newspaper friend of mine* he joshed at the idea
skeptically '

At first I thought he didn t believe that television had
advanced so far Then I resitted be Just confcthl bear

By the time they got around to founding NBC I already
considered myself a rsdlo veteran in 1923 I delivered
a series of radio new* commentaries over WRAP, ln.t
to become the hey station of NBC— and %o 1 can claim

a sort of pre-natal ronnectum with
— — the network which now proudly cele-

T brstev 23 years of broadcasting

Then a* now there was contro-
versy surrounding my broadcasts
But fortunately for me those in
charge ef things around Radio City
today are less timid and f Tightened
than those who uneesih supervised
my early talks on WEAF The cur-
rent events talks I delivered — the
atr then were something entirelv new.
R':: They wo— the find spoken editorial *,
■ v Eaton bars J believe, ever heard by a radio so

enoe. The Brooklyn Eagle was sp— •
soring my talks and since 1 spoke as an Eagle editor I
assumed that I had the same editorial freedom on the air
that I enjoyed on the Eagle. But radio was mighty timid
and unsure of Its strength in those days. There was fear
that the expression af opinion on the air might have
dangerous rope— uasieM and might ev— j— pardue the
future af broadcasting After a sufficient number of
Vice-Presid— ts became alarmed over my comments my
talks we— politely but firmly discontinued It was then
that I became what the famous NBC entertainer ‘ Rosy'*
characterised as “the wandering voi— af radio,*' because
af my frequent shifts from station to station

In the Kb many radio stations we— not well enough
established or sure of their own power and authority
to challenge the special interests that protested against
specific broadcast material The easy answer was to
substitute something else, Not until the KO s did most
stations become sufficiently profitable and su— enough
Wf their own rights to ignore pressure

‘ That is why I will always be grateful to some of tha
great early radio —tertaine— — Rudy Vallee. Eddie Can-
tor. Vincent Lopes. Ben Berme. Major Bowes, and count-
lesa other* first heard over NBC Those men helped to
make radio broadcasting economically strong and. !»-

to sprout with tremendous rapidity from coast -to-coast
and horde r-lo- border.

Now to pick up some threads of memoty. let us go back
a bit to Thanksgiving Eve in 1915 It was on that evening
while listening to pres* bulletins bring wirelessed to ship*
*t *ea from WCC. South WellBcet. Cape Cod. that sud-
denly I heard a vio'in playing “Nearer My God to Thee
1 was liMrmng at Niagavq Falls N Y There was no idm
tllWatson of where the music originated and ti still re-
mains a mystery. I have often wondered whether it came
from de Forest's pioneer radiophone station at High Bridge.

General Electric at ScbenccUd). N Y

It wa* not until 1919 that I heard muaic .Come through

receiving sha« k were seen standing at attention wearing
•arphowt x~ -odd behavor lor Navy wireless men on duty.
Inquiry revealed that they were hearing a band playing
The Star Spangled Banner —and the band was at New
Brunswick. N. I t

It was not long after that when a subchaser equipped
with a radiote e phone transmitter act out from Otter Cliff*,
and aa it passed around Ml Desert Island and olit of sight.
Bg operator placed * phonograph alongside the micro

Be Gone for a Long. Long Time ”

radiotelephone wa* destined to have a great future. For
instance on July 4 1919, President Woodrow* Wilson, re-
turning from the Paris Peace Conference on board the
USS George Washington, delivered an addresa ta the
crew He stood on the deck, and the wireleaa men won-
dered whether they dared place a microphone in front of
him. Adm Cary T, Grayson advised against it on the
theory that it would diacoacert Mr. Wilson. And so the
microphone was concealed behind the American flag hung
behind the President. Operators at the U. S. Naval radio
station at Otter Cliffs. Me., were advised to be ready to
pick up the ' broadcast “ They iashed an earphone to an
ordinary telephone transmitter that was connected by di-
rect wire to the White House where Government offictol*
were standing by to h-ar the President Unfortunately,
the "broadcast * did not come through clearly; very few
words were distinct- probably because the insensitive mi
rrophonr of that day. hidden behind the flag, was too far
back of the President to pick up his words spoken on the
wind-swept deck Nevertheless, it wa* the first attempt
to broadcast the voice of a President of the United States.
^ And these “coos" of the baby broadrasting were inklings
of voire* to come Seldom did a day pass from 1920 to
1924 that broadcasting did not make the front page. Hun-

that a new radio service was encroaching on their wave-
length domain There could be no doubt about it after
the Dempeey-Carpentirr fight was broadcast on July 2,

freedom of action and we put on a few years of fairly
good radio.

"Then NBC carved s Utile piece of Radio City out of
the heart ef The Avenue of the Americas, pointed it a
peculiarly appropriate shade of green and transplanted it
at the corner of Sunset snd Vine.! I’ll never forget when
the transplanting started. Someone took me down into
the bottom of it to show me the echo chamber that was

Twenty- five years ago my selling career began.

One of my employers, the Cities Service Company, marketed fine oil

Firestone Tire and Rubber Company employed me to sell tires and tubes.

ever since. Many other leading corporations have joined Cities Service

WE’D LIKE TO

PAT 231 BACKS

The first, of course, goes to the National Broad-
casting Company on its 25th anniversary

But it seems to us that the success of this network
should be measured not only in years, but also in the
strength and soundness of the individual stations
that ARE the National Broadcasting Company to

■ . . • . V

listening and looking America.

So, we have 230 equally sincere and hearty pata-
on-the-back for NBC’s 167 radio stations snd 63
television stations.

WE’D LIKE TO
PAT 231 BACKS

The first, of course, goes to the National Broad-
casting Company on its 25th anniversary.

*

But it seems to us that the success of this network
should be measured not only in years, but also in the
strength and soundness of the individual stations
that ARE the National Broadcasting Company to
listening and looking America.

So, we have 230 equally sincere and hearty pats-
on-the-bsck for NBC*s 167 radio stations and 63
television stations.

Random thoughts

of a network

*

A

Here at WSM we always thought that fellow* would
go places. That*s why we hooked up with him in the
diaper stage . . . Seems like only yesterday when he
startled teething on his first set of chimes ♦ . •

^A'inrn \

Grew fast, though — and maybe we helped a little . . .
J Can’t even count the feeds we’ve piped his way during
those 25 years . . . something over three thousand shows
/7 in the past ten years, close as we can figure. Guess our
Southern cooking must have agreed with him.

Anyway, he grew into the nation's number one net-
work. And down here at the Central South's number
one station we’ve been proud of our 25 year affiliation.
Always did like to see a youngster live up to his promises.

Filmcraft has stressed only

top quality TV film.

The current Groucho Mori TV program
is being filmed in o one-hour foie, with-
out interruption , using 9 cameras, Film-
croft's own developed 2,000 foot
magazines, and Filmcrafts own devel-
oped synchronising system. Important

of the electronic project on of television

cially for TV film work.

For TV packagers, this EXPERIENCE is a
MUST The future of the star or tho

be put in the hands of an inexperienced

Film is also BUDGET conscious Film-
craft s budgets ore as low as any in the

of business for these advertisers, in an era which has

WSPD DOMINANT STATION IN

NORTHWESTERN OHIO FOR 30 YEARS

WSPD is proud to salute the National Broadcasting Company on its
25th Anniversary . . • 25 years of continued progress and exemplary
contributions to the broadcasting industry. For the past 1 5 years of
affiliation with NBC, WSPD has felt privileged to be an integral part
of this outstanding organisation and by analysing our own audience
reaction over these many years we firmly believe that NBC has set an
example of radio programing, commercial policy and broadcasting
integrity that will live as a representative pattern for broadcasters in
centuries to come. Most of all WSPD extends thanks to NBC, on behalf
of our Northwestern Ohio listeners, for its outstanding contribution
to the "American Way Of Life."

WTAM cot IU atari In reality

started expecimentlnf with bat
lenef for radio Leonard oho had
been with tho Marconi Kadlo Co.
specialising in marine radio, helped
h m build an experimental (rant
nutter When they lot 4hia into
operation In tho basement of the
Willard factory off tea they cot the
W II XC license Then they der ided
to expand, ual >( storage batteries
as the source of power.

The first real home of WTAM
In ila experimental stage was a
corrugated* Iron shack way back

in the rear of the battery plant
lot Architecturally it should have
had one of those crescent moons
rut in its only dear. There was no
space to spare S S Bald* in was
made program manager, l-eonard

up among the industrial brass, was

That nas occupied in 1923 and
on Sept 26. 1926 as WTAM. be-
gan operating on 1.300 watts. It

as the highest powered com me r
rial station in the country. There
| seemed to be some fascination in
this radio embryo for the air mind

scrapers. Willard had progressed
in fits battery ideas so that WTAM
waa operating on 10.000 volt bat-
teries And using up water-cooled

McCullough. Inventor and tube
manufacturer, to supply one each

After sale of the station to other
interests and its Installation In the
Auditorium building. H was pur-
chased by NBC A new transmitter
of the latest design was built In
Brecksville. a suburb of Cleveland
to the south, and the studios, con-
trol rooms snd offices were estab-
lished in what la now the preaent

And not only has WTAM. under
the guidance of general manager
McCormick got money in the bank,
but WTAM Uvea in a bank Its
present quarters were the banking
rooms and vaults of a defunct
financial concern.

And while WTAM * home Is an
Ideal bomb proof retreat, the
1 WTAM folks hesitate a long time
before ordering new electrical out-
lets In its rooms. Many of the
walls are four feet thick

When manager Royal, who had
i been head of Reade’s Hippodrome
.Theater and the Ketlh-Albee Palaee
Theater here, took over the man-
I agement of the station years ago.
he kept WTAM at the top as an
entertainment medium In his
vaudeville days he always had the
“impossible ’ carded on the next
program And he brought the tops
j m the stage and concert world to
his station If and when such en-
t retainers came to town.

When we think of WTAM we
; are reminded of names that be-
came a byword all up and down
the radio lanes. Guy Lombardo and
; his Royal Canadians Phil Spitalny.
Joe Penner. Lum *n* Abner, Ed
: East and Ralph Dumke. known as
the Sisters of the Skillet: Little
Jack Little. Ray Parkins, Bob Hope
and Sammy Kaye, both natives of
, Cleveland. Kay Kyser. Ben Bernie.
, Benay Yenuta. Margaret Speaks.
iStoopnagla and Bud— all were

familiar features of the WTAM
local and net programs.

Bands, too, such as those of
Austin Wylie, Emerson Gill. Ben
Bernie. Leo Reismaa and others
were familiar WTAM local and net
items Then there was Rubinolf
and hla violin, who spent some of
his career around tho Cleveland
theaters.

They didn't have quit shows in
those early WTAM days, but there
was the Voice of Experience to pro-
vide the thrills. It seems, how-
ever. he couldn t take his own ad-
vice He has become the Voice of
Non Experience.

Gene and Glenn proved one of
the most successful program fea-
tures on the WTAM list. Gene Car-
roll. with hit double voice imper-
sonating "Jake'* and •‘Lena.** and
Glenn Rowell as his stooge and
Songster, had the town In stitches.
And especially when “Jake." after
a promise of marriage, left “Lena'*
waiting at the church.

Skpt of a sham Ba tata 1

WTAM has had some ups and
downs in a program way, too. Back
in the days when present mike con
trols were unknown, the station ar-
ranged to air a three-hour battle
spectacle in Public Auditorium
It was to be a sham battle Just
after the station went on the air
with the announcements and every
thing, the battle started. A cannon
was fired and the blast, almost di-
rectly into one of those old carbon
mikes, knocked the station off the
a»r for the rest of the evening

WTAM has been active in cover-
ing Cleveland disasters and other
notable incidents, parades, public
gatherings, and sport events at the
stadium. From the top of Its build-
ing descriptions were aired of the
East Ohio Gas Co. gas explosions
which rased part of the • city's
East End :

In the sports department. WTAM
has been outstanding. Tom Man-
ning. the red headed sport scatter

known wherever sports enthusiasts
collect. His coverage of Ohio State
football, golf, racing and ot|ser
events has been notable HU sports

when a speedster swerved, both

j • Back In the days when Eddie
Peabody waa one of the town’s
chief radio entertainers and often
on WTAM. picking away at the Sex-
tet from “Lucia" on hU banjo, thou#
single tube Copp aeU were in use
and radio was gradually emerging
from the crystal stage. It waa then
that in far away places in America
and sometimes In South America
and the far Western shores of Can-
ada. WTAM would he heard NBC's
general manager McCormick here
treasures such long distance ex-
ploits now even as did manager
Royal and ex manager Vern Prtb-
ble.

In the advertising field WTAM
and tta TV aide. WNBK. have taken
their place in the forefront. Harold
Gallagher, the WTAM advertising
director who grew up with radio,
has won a high place in that divi-
sion of the industry*

We could recall many more
things about WTAM. including Doc
Whipple, organist who went to New,
York. Hal Melsger, former program
director whose h ob b y waa violin
music and painting, and the late
Stubby Gordon, a noted figure
among the dance hand folks. Wal-
ter Logan, musical director and hit
fine symphony orchestra with Ben
Silver berg as coocertmaster wbo a
big following In Cleveland's cul-
tural circles. And. of course, all
of NBC’s great artists came to
Cleveland via WTAM. including
Edgar Bergen. Jack Benny. Rudy
Vallee. Kenny Baker. Burnt add
Allen. Fred Allen, the Crosby s and
all the rest.

"Amaxing Mr. Malone." a Ber-

Tracy, who has many film and legit
tans and who moves easily in the
roM of a light-hearted criminal

Characterization of Malone fits
In with current models for private
eves. He has the usual downtown
office, kids the copper*, bands the
girls a fast line and gets rlonked
1 1 the head by 1 murderer One
departure from type is that he

script had him spout * couple of

Story on the initialer dealt with
the murder of a tough trucker.
Huger de Koven gave an effective
It brief, performance as the victim
part which had good motiva-
tion. For suspense, vam threw
suspicion on several character* —
a business rival, a loan shark, the
widow and her brother, all of
whom did a lot of illogical, hardly
believable things Nevertheless
Malone collared hi* man ‘the

[ Milton Berle * "Texaco Star
Theatre,’* beginning Ms fourth >ear
on video, started the year off Tues-
day !|gi with one of the major
problems, that of keeping Berle's
No 1 Nielsen spot For. the first
time on his network tenure., there
will be a serious attempt to com-
pete with him when Frank Sinatra
show get* rolling in a few weeks.

Berle started this season with
one of the strongest talent collec-
tions, comprising an important
segment of the NH( stork com-
pany In addition to Eddie Cantor
and Jane F roman. Berle had Ed-
die Fisher and the Niehoias Bros.,
latter one the loo trrp teams in
the business With «ueh a lineup
most of the show couldn't miss
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a top
Berk show, mainly because of one
sketch that didn't come off This
set a pall on the proceedings from
which it didn't get out of until late
in the program

Berk did a lampoon of the hor-
ror family created by Charles Ad-
dam* in the New Yorker In addi-
tion to the sketch being essentially
bad. it showed some bad thinking
in it tailv Boric'* hold in the top-
ratings is in a great measure due to
his hold on the juves That kind
of skit with a corpse hidden in the
closet with frequent and unfunny
references to slayings, isn't exactly
kiddie fodder before the bedtime
hour.

! ; The major reason that thi*
sketch hurt so badly, is that it was
Berk's major injrdMin of rem-
ind since il didn t come off
too well, it cast a negative impres-
sion on Berk's efforts

(>f course. F-ddie Cantor who's
guesting hort on a reciprocal basis
performed his own chore in his
best manner, and combined with
Berk in a bit which gave nods to
the sponsor of both, Texaco and
Colgate It was a pleasant song
and-danee bit with minor comedy
intrusions Sid Caesar made a
momentary appearance here In
connection with a gag. Another
brief appearance waft by channel
swimmer Florence Chadwick, who
had too Httle time to create any
sort of impression.

Miss F roman is one of the better
singers around There s charm and
class in her offerings . She reg-
istered excellently with her med-
ley and worked for a brief bit in
the finale.

Pvt.. Eddie Fisher occasionally
combines military* and entertain-
ment duties His tele guest shots
are pegged upon recruiting, bond
and patriotic pitches which, com-
bined with his excellent singing
provides a potent session Abetted
by Cantor, who protegeed Fisher
during his incubation period, and
Berk. It was a good ftnak even if
the flag-waving was somewhat
overdone

This season. Berk haa linod up
a pair of new writers, Coleman Ja-
toh> and Arnie Rosen, in addition
to nis previous staff and there s
possibility that they 11 infuse some
new ideas on this program. On this
session .... with a plenitude of
guest ers. there wasn't any possi-
bility of too much scripting but
subsequent viewings may And the

TV or not TV?" U no longor the question, but " What price

fan and dot s pay out. In fact. Television today is selling many
types of merchandise at lower unit io>ts than any advertising
medium in hit tor xf

Whether or not television will sell u)»/r product at a profit
will depend largely on the yardsticks vou apply in selecting an
advertising agency . • i

One good rule to remember is this: no agency without a long
and Successful record of selling goods hr fort the advent of Tl'
can he expected to better its performance simply because it has
a new Outlet for its efforts.

Remember this. too. If vour agency does not have consider^
sble extH riencc in TV — and substantial hillings in TV — be prc»
pared for expensive delays. Tor no agency can “convert” to TV
overnight. I he whole creatifc and executive staff must be tliof*
oughly indoctrinated . • . large, separate departments must be
trained and integrated . . . including specialized media, program-
ming and production people.

Ofharwlse. you, the advertiser, pay the excessive
costs of shows owned by one group, produced by
another group, with commercials created by still
another outside group.

1-etter-perfect showmanship en-
ables her onc-w oinan show to take
en the illusion of a big production
and to assume an air of impressive
importance Guided by the expert
Sosenko manipulation, the ililde-
garde talents as discus* and pianist
and the projection of a gracious,
friendly and magnetic personality
once more call for the employment

of superlatives to acclaim the re-
sultant topdrawer entertainment.
At the bottom of It all. In addition
to the Performer's artistry, is the
aura of greatness that has been
built up for her and which acts the
Mage perfectly for her perform-
ance. That and the aforesaid
showmanship comprising excellent
tailor-made material; the skillfully
paced routines with hteir changes
of mood: the adept musical ar-
rangements. the witty tallies, the
big -league lighting and the superb
dressing, along with the employ-

ment of the star's own orch with
its conductor and pianist soloist of
dlslinuished appearance and ex-
ceptional capability in the persons
of Robert Norris and William
Denny..,./'

Fast moving dinner show had

numbers as well as some old fa-
vorites Affording free rein for the
