DIV JACK GAYER

New York, Feb 8 - CUP) - Get
those old plays out of the trunk and
send them along to the folks at the
National Broadcasting Company
They'll probably live to regret it,
but they can't say they didn ask
for It..
This invitation is part of a
scheme Matched by NBC and the
Dramatists Giuld, which Is the tony
name for the Playwrights' Union,
TO help both teleyision and play
wrights. They've given the plan the
titel Of Broadway Pre-yiew."
There is one catch-you can't en-
ter a play for consideration unless
you're a member of the guild. The
idea is that acceptable scripts, sup
posedly aimed at ultimate produce
ton in a theater, will be presented
first by NBC via teleyision over Sta
ton WHIT. The first play will be
teleVised in teh Fall Of 1916 and
when the medium improves teehni-
cally the tryouts may occur as often
as once weekly,
From the Guilds standpoint, the
setup is agood one because 1t will
give unknowns especially an oppoF-
tunity TO get a quick demonstration
n their wares Producers seeing and
hearing a script In action via teleyi-
sion might be won over to a pur-
chase they never would make so
long as they had nothing TO go on
but words on paper. Producers
would be specially invited to see the
shows.
NBC win assume all production
costs and will assist the authors IN
any reyislons made necessary by
teleyision. NBC also viii supply the
casts and directors. Naturally NBC
isn't laying out money for this on
a purely emotional basis. John II.
Royal, NBC vice president In
charge Of television. tells what's
behind II all.
Writers are the bread and but
ter Of any entertainment medium.
We expect that teleyislon viii eat
up material faster than any OF the
older forms Of entertainment :"
