, speech in the middle Of a telecast
Sunday night he looked up from
his script and sQuarely into the
Ieyes of Mr.. and Mrs. North and
South America and all the ships
at sea. The number Of South
Americans and ships at sea tuned
to the Winchell telecast is prob
lematical, but he still uses the old
Isalutation.

Anyhow, he spent some time up
braiding President Truman, then
announced he had some advice
for Gen. Eisenhower. Gen. Mac
Arthur, he said, has received
some 451 900 letters urging him to
run for President as an independ-
ent. There are, Winchell went
on, 8.5 million undecided voters
right now. All you have to do to
win the presidency. Gen. Eisen-
hover, the Stork Club sage con4
cluded. is shake hands with one
man-Gen. Macarthur.
Those in charge Of converting
Winchell to television have solved
their problem by having him do
a radio broadcast with the cam
eras turned on. They are well
aware, however, that a television
show has to have movement, old
boy. This they achieve by giving
you Winchell full face. left pro-
file, full face. right profile, full
face. left profile, full face. right
profile and so on and on. It is
all right except that you are
likely to get fascinated watching
the camera switching and miss
what the man is saying.
This is, Of course, a loss you
should be able to bear with for
titude.
Comparatively more space has
been devoted to Winchell than to
Jack Benny here simply because
Winchell seemed a great deal fun
nier. It was new act to tele-
vision and Benny has been here
before. He has been funnier here
before, too.
Benny's main trouble on TV
is that he seems firmly bent on
demonstrating that an old dogs
la fool to learn new tricks If the
old ones have earned him a back
yard full of bones. He apparently
is adamant in his refusal to make
any concessions to the new me-
dium beyond. maybe, little pam
cake makeup.
This is fine if all you demand
Iof television show is a moving
picture of a radio show.
Benny's seasonal premiere did
have some moments, all right. It
opened most ausniciously in a
living room set. which Rochester
entered to garner some laughs
with a funny comedy gadget, a
rather fabulous labor-saving ex-
tension pole.
Things looked promising. Then
the cameras moved back, a thea
ter curtain dropped. and there
was Benny, striving for rapport
with another studio audience. He
engaged in some banter with Bob
Crosby and Don Wilson. Crosby
sang a song. Wilson read a COM
mercial and then Benny was into
a sketch with Rochester and
Crosby. Its theme was the Benny
miserlinesS, which has had some
mileage put on it in the last
couple of decades.
Still. the Benny technique is
adroit and polished enough that
he got some laughs out of the
business. He could get a lot more
in the living rooms of the land If
he'd just do a television show
some time.
Benny was seen. incidentally
In the 1880 pm. half-hour on CHS
