Inc excitement aroused py the
telecasts of the Senate Crime In
vestigating Committee hearings
pushed most Of the other televi-
sion news into the background
during the week. There were,
however, several events of interest
and possibly even significance.
On Friday. for instance, it was
announced that RKO- Keith's
Theater, which has been pining
away as a movie house the lonely
sad years since vaudeville died,
would be the first theater in
Washington to embrace the new
est entertainment medium. Large
screen television is to be installed
at Keith's.
This is not to be confused with
the television sets some motion
picture theaters have in lobbies
and lounges. This is a projection
system, which throws television
images on the standard movie
screen as an adjunct to the regu-
lar film fare.
The idea is not new, though this
will be the first installation here.
1t already has been tested with
success in New York and is
spreading to other cities. Theater
television has grown out of the
discovery of some exhibitors that
it is smart to join 'em if you can't
lick 'em.
1t may not drag every one who
has taken root before a home TV
set out into the night, but it will
make it possible for you to go
to the movies without missing a
fight or a presidential address
scheduled for that night.
The future of television in the
movie theater Is no clearer than
the future of anything else. A re-
quest now is pending before the
FEC for separate television chan
nels set aside for theater use.
Whether the theater men get
these or not. 1t is almost certain
that there will be special TV pro-
grams for theaters alone, sent by
coaxial cable if not by air.
A large TV-theater chain, for
instance, could outbid a television
network for rights to some major
sports event. Color television in
theaters is another thing seen in
the future, quite likely before 1t
becomes q reality in home tele-
vision.
1t has the look of an interesting
future. at any rate. and Keith's
should be getting in on it about
May !.
