The Passing Show

There is q new look about the
movies these days and it is be-
coming a constantly more win
ming one.
It's essence is reality, not un-
like that of a girl cheer leaders
sweater-and-skirt combination
at a college football game.
Audiences are conscious OF it.
even though they may not
bother to analyze it. More
over, they are pleased by it al
though only dimly aware OF
what it is that is adding dra-
matte dimension to the film they
happen to be seeing.
This new look is traceable to
the fact that many seemingly
pure screen fictions are also
travelogues. They are shot on
location. on the actual setting
of the story, with the result that
moviegoers have become &C
quainted with more geography
than Hollywood would have
acknowledged to exist five years
ago.
Specimens Everywhere
Several films on local screens
this week constitute perfect
specimens Of the new look.
One of these is 1.-THE Quiet
Man." a rich if over-long COM
edy of Irish life which took
Producer-Director John Ford
and a large crew to Ireland.
Few pictures have ever proflted
more by going to the atmos-
pheric source than this tale Of
an Irish-American giant who
went back to his birthplace to
tame a beautiful red-haired
Shrew.
This violent adventure in liv-
ing and loving could happen
only in Ireland. It's gentle,
misty. enchanted landscape
alone could lay this kind of
spell not only upon the charac-
ters in the story but also upon
the spectators watching its
Technicolor flow upon the
screen.
Ford makes the utmost use
of it's vivid coloring, its dra-
matically varied topography, and
its overpowering suggestion that
there has been q continuously
bubbling life here since the days
of the clans and the Druids.
AS much as any master, among
the few such who write with
images instead of words, he is
obsessed with the camera. In
deed. even among his Oldest
admirers he has been accused
in several later Ford pictures
of being more interested in
photography than in dramatic
storytelling. But Ford is q
stubborn Irishman, fortified in
the attitude by a Maine boy
hood. and he yielded not an inch

opera was a dilly but who ex-
planned what?
In contrast there Is the speech
Gov. Stevenson made on tele-
vision last Monday night. Where
the Senator's approach had been
emotional, the Governors was
intellectual and his TV audi
ence was smaller, as any one in
the trade could have warned
him. ("I Love Lucy" will top
American Forum" week after
week.
There were other factors than
the difference in approach, how
ever. Senator Nixon had the
benefit Of a suspenseful build
up which must have been the
envy of every press agent in
the land. He also had the ben
eft of less competition on the
other channels.
Strong Competition
The Governor, in Washing
ton at least, had television COM
petition from three programs
already under way-a prize
fight, an exciting Redskins foot
ball game and play on Studio
One" The size of his viewing
audience hardly has much sig
niflcance unless you can prove
that all who tuned him in are
Stevenson admirers and that all
fight fans, football fans and
TV drama enthusiasts like Ike.
The real influence of television
on the election is something
which can't be measured, ex-
cept possibly by the election
itself. That it will be an in
fluence has already been well
established, of course. Or, at
least. it has been widely agreed.
The impact of a personality on
television Is tremendous and
voters are bound to be swayed
by both intellectual and emo
tional appeals. Audience sur
veys won't show the degree Of
sway, however, and it won't be
known until election day..
In Plain View
One thing television does,
politicians already have realized
with horror, is make it possible
for a man and/or party to
make a fatal mistake in the
presence of so million people.
Senator Nixon might have done
just that when he came out
foursquare for the American
home. faithful wives. children,
dogs and Eisenhower.
It would have been easy for
him to misjudge the tolerance
Of his audience for the senti-
mental. And measuring the size
Of his audience still doesn't tel
whether or not he did so.

to any such churlish quibbling.
The rhapsodic notices for his
setting in 1.-THE Quiet Man"
are enough to give him the
happy feeling that his critics
albeit reluctant ones-are now
content to eat their words.
Another current film that
could not possibly have achieved
it's dramatic impact in arti-
fetal settings is Cry. the Be-
loved Country" This tale of
social and racial turmoil in
South Africa could not have
been made anywhere but in the
actual setting. What the cam
eras find in the lonely arid up
lands and the teeming native
ghettos of johannesburg is the
very atmosphere Alan Patton de-
scribed in his moving tale Of
racial relations in the once
remote continent of Africa.
Droma Intensified
This adds immensely to the
drama of "Cry, the Beloved
Country" the more especially to
any one who saw the unf1atter-
ing contrast between the story
as told on film and in the plain
tive musical adaptation by
Maxwell Anderson, Lost in the
Stars"
Africa, of course, Is one of the
great remote, romantic settings
for movies. It's mystery, maj
esty. loneliness and other quali-
ties give it a drama unequaled
anywhere on the globe. In the
picture which established the
practice of using it as a loca-
ton, "King Solomon's Mines"
it provided the most exciting
single element Of the produc-
ton.
When he made last years
triumphant comedy. "The Afri-
can Queen" John Huston was
aware of this treachery on the
part of the so-called clark
continent" He kept it in its
place, which is to say as back
ground for Humphrey Bogart
and Katharine Hepburn. In
spite of this. however. in such
scenes as their boats journey
through the river rapids and
its later entrapments in the sea
of reeds, the setting virtually
stole the picture from its hu-
man actors.
This is the way Of the real
in conflict with the fiction, but
directors like Ford, Zoltan
Korda, who directed "Cry, the
Beloved Country" and Huston
are on to this trick. They keep
rigid control upon the trav-
elogue flavor they let creep
into their productions.
Another alien landscape in

On the Air

Some high-flown nonsense Is
being banded about right now
by those who would predict the
results of the coming election
by reactions to television and
other fine arts.
Attention was being called a
few days ago, for instance, to
some figures announced by a
pair of the regular audience
surveys, Pulse and Trendex.
These measure the size of a
television audience in percentage
of Sets-in-use tuned to a given
program. Both released figures
showing that a recent speech by
Gen. Eisenhower had attracted
a larger audience than a recent
speech by Gov. Stevenson.
This was regarded in some
quarters as significant of some
thing.
There was another Hollywood
plan announced awhile back
for putting audiences to work as
election forecasters. This one
called for installation in a
number Of theaters of ap-
plause meters to record the re-
action to newsreel appearances
by candidates for Office. An
accurate weekly check, it was
contended, then could be had
on the comparative popularity of
each candidate.
There Are FoIlocies
Any former proprietors Of the
defunct Literary Digest. which
took the straw vote which broke
its back in 1882, must be laugh
ing their heads off. (For the
benefit Of readers who never
were aware of any President
before Roosevelt, the Literary
Digest was a weekly magazine
of good repute. It got along
fine until its sudden collapse
caused by the prediction that
Roosevelt didn't have a chance
against President Hoover.)
There are fallacies all over

the place to trip up those who
try to predict what any audi
ence-radio, television, theater
or pile drivers thinking about.
That plan to measure the ap-
plause Of newsreel audiences,
for instance, is a great one, but
for one thing. An applause
meter is just a gadget for meas
uring decibels. for measuring,
that is. the volume of a given
noise.
Obviously, it has one serious
drawback as a gauge of an audi
ence'S temper. It counts the
boos with the cheers. You
shout, Drop dead!" at it, or
"Hooray for you'll" and it notes
equal enthusiasm.
The fallibility of the Tv audi
ence ratings lies in the fact that
no one seems to know precisely
what any Of them means. The
advertising man who can't prove
anything he wants to prove with
any given set of figures hasn't a
chance in broadcasting. His
fellows will set him down as a
3-to-1 Martini mixer with a
four-in-hand knot in his in
sincere tie and he will be
Stunned If he sets foot on New
York's Madison avenue, the
highway of the hucksters.
Of No Significance
These surveys show the per-
centage Of TV sets turned on at
the time tuned to a given pro-
gram. None shows whether any
viewer is paying attention, being
won over. merely wanted to see
what the so-and-so making the
speech is up to now. or is out
in the kitchen getting a beer.
Senator Nixon must have had
an extremely high rating the
other evening when the Repub-
licans spent $4,000 for broad
casting time so he could explain
the $4,000. No measure of his
audience-not even an accurate
count instead Of the usual sur
vey's guess based on a small
sample-could have any politi-
cal significance, however.
A measure of the viewing and
listening audience on that oc-
casion would be no measure of
Q great sweep of enthusiasm for
the Senator or the Republican
Party. It leaves still unan-
Swered the important question:
How many in this audience saw
and heard a noble and coura-
geous man barring his soul and
now many thought the soap
