Tax Issues


 City Attorney Howard Stabler re- ported on the legal angles of per sonal property taxes and said that the soldiers and sailors relief act did not exempt them from taxation on personal property at the place ot it's location. If personal property taxes have been paid elsewhere, then the person is exempt to avoid dup lication. The issue arose from the protest of several local Coastguards- men against paying city personal property tax.
 Stalker presented papers for sig nature of the mayor and city clerk to convey a piece of property to pr. William Blanton. It had taken Stahler a year to straighten out a tangle resulting from Blanton's purchase of the property at a city tax sale. Bjanton received a quit claim deed from the city and con- structed 6 residence on the property and later discovered his title was no good because the property had originally been naval reserve for wireless facilities.

pictures on the wall that were
such a valid touch in the produc-
ton? Ever think of where these
came from, how they got mixed
up in apart-from-life drama?
Miss Regina McKeever can tell
you. On the Olney program Miss
McKeever is listed as assistant to
the scenic designer. That means
Miss McKeever is the one in charge
of getting together stage proper
ties. She's the one who races 200
mad miles around the countryside
each week, assembling an average
of so props per play. props that
may vary from a live rooster to
a 10th century spipet piano.
There's no fund for buying any
thing. not even renting it. She
has to borrow, with only program
credit and couple of prop tick
cts" to the show as lure. It's a
job requiring patience, persistence
and charm.
Take the spinet piano in ''The
1nnocentS." Miss McKeever visited
the Smithsonian for that one
Certainly, they had the desired
piano, "But there was a condition"
Miss McKeever recalls. TT would
have had to be kept under glass.
Can you imagine?" She found one
finally. 1t was stored in a Chevy
Chase garage. The only trouble
was, it wouldn't play. 1t was used
but there had to be another piano
behind the scenes to make the
necessary music.
Remember Omar, the Gagged but
lordly rooster John Carradine
carried about in 1.-THE Silver Whis-
tle"? You'd think even a rooster
with dramatic talent wouldn't be
too much of a problem. That's al
story that begins one day early
in the summer. Scene: a Rock
vile chicken yard. Characters: al
rooster playing hard to get and
a man and woman who'd have
looked more in character in the
Stork Club than chasing after
a rooster with a rope and a card
board carton. The woman was
Miss McKeever; the man was
Syrjala, who does the sets for
the Robert Montgomery television
show as well as most Of those at
Olney theater. They caught Omar
but trouble was only beginning.
At dress rehearsal Omar turned
out to be a scene-stealer in the
John Barrymore tradition. It was
Omar's Growing. ALI he needed

Of dialogue. that's when he'd be-
gin improvising with his Growing
Prop people have to be resource
full, however, and Omar's ego
centricity was curbed. He was
given a bit of sleeping tablet along
with his corn. After that, he was
content with a non-speaking part.
It worked fine-all except one
night. That was when Omar got
too much sleeping tablet. He laid
down on his part a little.
Miss McKeever sighs when she
recalls "The Silver whistle" The
hearing aid prop gave her trouble
as well as the rooster. 1t had to
be the old-faShioned kind - q
trumpet that looked like the horn
on the first talking machines.
After a good many false starts,
she found one in Washington. The
Volta Bureau for the Deaf pulled
her out Of that problem.
For Candida" Miss McKeever
needed a religious painting. She
found one she could borrow at q
church. They were very willing for
her to use it but on a condition.
No credit for the church in the
theater program. It seems the
painting wasn't considered a very
good one, not the sort of thing
that ought to be publicly connected
with the church.

Miss McKeever had to turn to the
Irish legation to find one. While
there, she borrowed an Irish news

Miss McKeever can scratch two
items off the prop list with one call.

Cantor Knows ond Conquers
Ihot Audience Iemptation

nor AudfenCe emptorlon
Several people who have been
getting along fine. too. in televi-
sion. might give Mr.. Burns a word
about those studio audiences.
Eddie Cantor is one of them. Mr..
Cantor has a studio audience, all
right, but he remains clearly
aware that the worst thing about
it is the temptation to play to it.
So far he has resisted the tempta-
tion, with the result that he has
been invited into enough. living
rooms to keep him high in the
popularity ratings - higher than
some other people who could be
named.
| Another man whose experience
Mr.. Burns might find valuable is
Mr.. CHS himself, Arthur Godfrey.
Mr.. Godfrey has not one but two
television programs consistently in
the first 10, no matter who does
the rating. When he first came
to TV from radio, Mr.. G. was a
green one, as were a number of
others, and he was not above
mugging for the studio audience.
It did not take Mr.. Godfrey
long, however, to become camera
wise and to realize that his big
gest audience is the one staring
at him through that lens. Since
then he has been known to tel
his studio audiences that they'd
see a much better show if they
had sense enough to stay home
and watch it on television. He
also has, in evidence of his healthy
attitude along this line, threatened

to toss an audience out into the
streets for giggling at the wrong
time.
Peter Lind Hoyes
Roises His Voice, Too
There is, if Mr.. Burns does not
mind listening to an intelligent
newcomer Comparatively speak
ing, a newcomer, that Isl, one
more voice he might heed if he
would more firmly establish him
self with the audience at home.
The voice is that of Peter Lind
Hayes and it is raised in print
in the anniversary number of
Variety, in piece entitled: Stay
in the Parlor"
There are millions of people
all around the country who tune
in each week to find out what
we're up to-" writes Mr.. Hayes in
Variety.
consequently, we've tried to
make this a televiSion show
something exclusively designed for
small living room screen being
watched by family in Cincinnati,
in Wilmington, in Kansas City, in
Utica, in Silver Spring, Md, in
Grand Rapids, Mich, etc.
That's the reason I have abb
solutely vetoed studio audience,
and I'll take on all arguments
to the contrary. -.
1.-THE point I'm making is not
that comedy on television will play
better without an audience, but
that on television you can't play
to two audiences and that's what
show with studio guests tries
to do. The studio visitors are a
motley collection of people on a
night out; the audience at home
is a family, group OF friends,
who are spending a quiet evening
by the fireside fiddling around
with the television dials in hopes
of being entertained. They're the
Observation-Disclosures of thousands
of little family groups--television
is playing to, not the 100 who drop
into the studio.
Were their invited guests and,
by golly, they didn't ask us to
bring a whole conglomeration of
studio guests along to interrupt
our social visit with laughter"
All that clear, Mr.. Burns?
