Some Observers Feel
This Isn't the Answer

There is suspicion shared by
a number of observers of the en-
terainment scene that theater TV
may not be the answer, either for
the theater operators or the
sports promoters.
One thing the latter forget.
when they are eying that large
TV audience greedily, is that the
urge to attend a sports events is
not quite the same as dope ad-
diction. Their reasoning now is
that televiewers have been fed a
steady diet Of prizefights, some
mediocre and few good, for a
long time now and cutting them
OF will drive them to theater TV
II they can't get to the arena.
1t may not work out that way.
The vast majority of the tele-
vision audience got along for years
without attending prizefights and
trying to make them 60 to a
movie house to see one may only
result In 20 million persons in 7
million homes watching an old
Western movie.
If television affects the gate of
a sports event, the fact that the
viewer is shown that same event
at home for free probably has a
great deal less effect than the
fact that he is shown something
anything at home.
Mans gregarious instinct seems
to be satisfied, at times at least
by the presence of a few friends
as well as by his presence in a
crowd of 1000 or 100000 others
doing the same thing.
Movies Haven't Lost
To Better Entertainment
This may also be discovered byI
the theater owners who have
installed or intend to install tele-
vision in the belief that people
who like to look at television would
prefer to look at it on a large
movie screen. The theater men,
in a number of cases, seem to
overlook television's basic attrac-
tionS.
The movies have not lost busi-
ness to superior entertainment,
but to a method of communication
between entertainer and enter
tanned. There still are more good
and satisfying movies in years
time than there are good and
satisfying TV programs.
Some Of the television dramas
have more adult and intelligently
realistic approach than the pro-
duction code allows Hollywood,

That Was a Noble Experiment,
But Is Theuter TV the Answer?
By Harry Macarthur

One of television's most widely
lpublicized experiments to date
finally came to pass-after two
postponements-and if it takes
any place in history it will be for
its novelty rather than for what
it proved.
On Friday night sports arena
was enlarged for the first time
by closed circuit television to in
clude the seating capacity OF nine
movie theaters in six cities. This
would prove, the sports promoters
kept telling themselves, that the
$40 million fight gate was just
around the Corner.
The day of the home viewers
free ride at major sports events
is approaching its end, the pro-
moters have been sure. It is un-
derStandable that a man who ar
ranged a fight in Madison Square
Garden might be intrigued by the
discovery through an audience
survey that it was seen by 20 mil
lion people in Z million homes
while he barely got out with his
shirt. The size Of the teleyision
audience Is impressive and it is
no surprise that any fight pro-
moter would like to figure out a
surefire way to make it pay
through the box Office.
Friday nights experiment, sue
cessful as it was in packing the
nine participating theaters, still
did not prove that thaater TV is
the cure for an ailing sports box
office. A host of fight fans turned
out. it is true, but other factors
helped put the standing room cor
raj at Keith's to use it hasn't had
in a long time. 9l N
The ticket price was one. In
most of the theaters the price
scale was not raised and all but
one showed their regular feature
f1lms. At Keith's the picture was
shown before and after the fight
telecast, which meant that watch
ing Louis polish off Savold cost
the mov1egoers no more than it
would have cost at home If the
telecast had been available-noth-
ing.
This was the first advertised
showing of theater Tv. too, in att
least two Of the cities (Washing-
ton and Baltimore). The novelty
OF that might have brought out al
crowd to see a kinescope
recording of Captain Video."
