On the Air
BerIe Shows TeIeviewers
Change of Comedy Pace
By Harry Macarthur

Any doubts about Milton Berle's
ability to progress with the times
must have been dispelled Tuesday
night. Uncle Miltie is a Snowman,
and one of the days canniest at
that. You have to admit that,
whatever your reaction to the
personality and comedy style he
projects into your living room. He
can spot a trend 100 yards down
the road, then hop aboard it as
it passes, before any one else re-
allies it is in the neighborhood.
The return of his "Star The
alter" to it's old niche (WNBW-
Tuesday, 8 pm) presented ample
proof that Berle is not yet ready
to concede the rating battle to
any upstairs who came along
last season. He may not win
back that top spot but it won't
be because he didn't try or be-
cause he baked at a change of
pace.
The opening Berle show of this
new season seemed an almost
completely happy event in at
least one living room. It's i'm
provements over the old "Star
Theater" were noteworthy. Berle,
himself. seemed more subdued
than he has been at times in the
past. He got pretty sticky in his
closing song. something about
what a great boy Uncle Miltie is,
but for so minutes or so he was
in fine fettle.
The entire show, as a matter
of fact seemed cut to the proper
size for a living room, where most
Of its viewers were.
X X X X
This quality of being aimed at
home viewing was more welcome,
actually, than the new and quieter
Milton Berle. Whether Head
Writer Goodman Ace, Director
Gregg Garrison or Berle himself
is responsible is hard to say, but
Star Theater" Tuesday night
was a television show, not a stage
show televised.
This is a distinction some fail
to recognize. but Berle is show
man enough to know what it is.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-09-18

He is willing to forget the pros
cenium arch and short-change
the studio audience in order to
bring more effective picture to
the principal audience. the one
at home.
Tuesday nights major example
of this was a Zany sketch in which
Berle and Martha Raye played
Macbeth" as if it were drag
net" 1t was funny spool. And
it was funnier on a television
screen than it could have been in
person because of some wonder
full camera satire aimed at the
use Of closeups in TV melodrama.
There has been great deal of
speculation about the direction
Berle would take on TV this sea-
son, after being deposed last sea-
son from the top rating spot. The
change. it turns out, is a subtle
one. Star Theater" itself has
been turned from variety show to
something of revue, with a
vague story line. Berle has been
transformed from a brash master
of ceremonies into a character
with some kinship to the one
Jack Benny plays.
On the opening show this vague
story line had something to do
with Berle trying to stage his
television show while having a
great deal of trouble with his new
producer. Ample opportunity was
provided for specialties by Martha
Raye and Dennis King and Berle
worked most effectively with both.
The new Berle got completely
out of the way at times. as a
matter of fact, and let Miss Raye
and Mr.. King score effectively on
their own. There isn't much for
even Berle to do. of course. when
Martha Rave sets to work in
earnest, except fall back out of
the way. With that lusty talent
for singing a song and that Won
derfully mobile face, she is a
definite asset to any show. If
NBC doesn't have her back for
some more of the same, NBC is
crazy.
The comedy on "Star Theater''
has the Goodman Ace stamp
though he apparently is only the
head man of at least six writer's
assigned to the program. A great
deal of it Is aimed directly at Berle.
as when the comic, talking to
King, asked do you think these
jokes ?" and King answered
with a nod, ''To high heaven"
Or, when Berle said. do you
want me to leave the stage?" and
King replied, Can you?" Then
there was Miss Raye's reply when
Berle boosted about having been
a comedian for three decades.
YEAH" said Martha, "as a mat
ter of fact you're one Of the most
decadent comedians I ever saw
This sort of thing, Mr.. Ace and
Mr.. Berle know well. never hurt
a comic a little bit. Some have
built huge followings and careers
simply by being the target Of the
joke every time. There's no reason
why the trick won't work again
for Berle.
NBC may have been cagier than
some Of US thought when it signed
this how In for 20 wears.

Allied Naval Forces Open
Headquarters in Naples
By the Asscciated Press

NAPLES. Mar. 25.-The South
ern Europe headquarters of Allied
naval forces was officially opened
here today by its chief of staff.
United States Rear Admiral H. H.
Mclean.
The naval command, one of
three subordinate units under Ad-
miral Robert B. Carney. COM
mander in chief of Allied forces in
Southern Europe, is composed Of
naval officers from the United
States, French, Italian and British
navies. The new staff will also

early May, when additional staff
members are scheduled to report
for duty.

other day, there's no need for
Government employees to worry
lover the annual leave they ac-
formulated in former years.
The issue came up when the
House approved the rider barring
further accumulation of annual
leave. The rider is so vaguely
|worded that 1t could be interpreted
Jas taking away all accumulated
annual leave earned in past years.
However, Chairman Thomas Of
the House Appropriations sub
committee on the independent
offices. the sponsor Of the rider,
told the House, when it voted on
the amendment, that it would
Iapply only to the annual leave
carried during 1852. In other
words. Federal employees would
have to use all Of their 1852 an
lnual leave by June 80, 1853; or lose
the unused portion. The leave ac-
Icumulated in former years could
iotAll UC CdII1CQ UVCI.
Mr.. Thomas declared: "The
amendment doesn't take away one
minute Of annual leave-not one
minute"
When the Senate takes up the
bill, the rider may be reworded tG
make it crystal clear that it ap-
Iplies only to 1852. But since Mr.
Thomas and the entire House
made the intent clear. there cgn
be no doubt about it. and Federal
Iemployes need not worry.
Meanwhile, the Civil Service
Commission, Chairman Johnston
Of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee and the various employe
groups will unite in an effort to
kill the entire leave accumulation
ban rider in the Senate. In
adopting the amendment the
House certainly wasn't playing
fair with Federal employees. who
were led to expect last year. when
their leave was reduced, that they
would be allowed to accumulate it
A staunch economy advocate
such as Representative Rees, Re-
publican. of Kansas, opposed the
rider when the House voted on il
last week.
Mr.. Rees argued that the rider
was unfair. Seeing that the House
was determined to adopt it any
way, Mr.. Rees offered an amend
Iment that would have exempted
at least. Federal employees WHIT
get only 13 days Of annual leave
q year. But the House voted the
frees amendment down.

Last Thursday when Senator
Taft first indicated he wanted to
pull out Of New Jerseys primary,
Mr.. Marsh sent word to all 81
county clerks to hold everything
on ballot preparations.
Yesterday he sent Attorney
