fusion it faced Z quarter century
ago when talking pictures first
began to peek above the horizon.
Now, the excitable subject for
players and playwrights Is tele-
vision.
Normally these first days Of the
lilac and robin atmosphere on
Broadway marked the beginning
of the of season for the revue and
dramatic players except perhaps
q summer theater engagement or
two.
Today the trend is changed.
Players are abandoning Broadway
stages, returning from Hollywood
and elsewhere for the increasingly
busy television' season.
Television has achieved such a
state of permanence among the
Broadway players that an invita-
ton to one of its shows ranks with
the "hot tickets" for Death Of a
Salesman" and kiss Me. Kate"

sued ticket Is for THE Broadway

television audiences have been

Max Lehman, who conceived the
show and produces it's weekly pro-
grams. This soft-spoken director
of 43 found that television was
controlled by engineers and other
chronological minds. Lehman
wisely started by selling himself to
the technicians, rather than try
ing to change their technique.
First, he persuaded them to
make a small revolution in light
ing. In Liebman's show it has
become a servant of mood and
style as it has long been in the
theater. The effect is most marked
in dance groupings; it creates an
intimacy with audiences which
television has long thought i'm
possible"
Deserts Formula.
Television's devotion to broad
comedy and the straight vaude-
vile formal has been overthroWn
by the Lehman revue. This show
has sophisticated tone, as smart
as any current Broadway show.
1t has dared to satirize modern
painting, psychiatry. movie epics,
advertising and other themes not
commonly found on television.
Lehman says that he learned
about television-and, incidentally,
how to transform players and
playwrights into working for tele-
vision-a few years ago when he
was producing shows at summer
camp in the Pocono Mountains of
Pennsylvania.
In 1899 Liebman's show was
brought from the Pocono Noun
tains down to Broadway and pre-
sented as The Straw Hat Revue"

Alabama Leader Acts
To Bar Negroes From

proposal eliminating the Negro en-
tirely from the Democratic Party in
Alabama"
The Birmingham attorney said 1t
would be in the form of a constitu-
tional amendment to be presented
to the State Legislature in May.
He added that it has nothing
to do with voter registration at all"
"It simply eliminates the Negro
entirely from Democratic prima-
ries," Mr.. Wilkinson continued. IF
the Negro wants to have a party,
let him organize one Of his own,
or join the Republican Party"
He did not disclose details OF the
proposed amendment.
Was State Elector.
Mr.. Wilkinson was one of the II
electors who last year cast the
States electoral votes for Gov. j.
Strom Thurmond, the States Rights
candidate.
Alabamas Boswell Amendment,
described as a bar to mass Negro
voting in the State, was ruled un-
constitutional by Federal court
at Mobile last week. The amend
ment required that applicants for
registration understand and ex-
plain" the Federal Constitution to
the satisfaction of the county
boards of registration.
State Democratic Chairman Cess
ner T. McCorvey proposed yester-
day at Mobile that new Alabama
law be patterned after a court
tested Mississippi requirement..
Reading Is Required.
The Mississippi law requires an
applicant to be able to read any
section of the State constitution,
or to understand it when read to
him, or be able to give reason
able interpretation Of it.
Mr. McCorvey said the Mississippi
provision has been upheld by the
United States Supreme Court.
He also urged that the amended
Alabama law continue a provision
from the 1901 constitution that
prospective voters be of good moral
character and understand the duties
and obligations of citizenship under
republican form of government.
