MOVIE TRICK-Those clean,
sharp taps which accompany Dom
aid O'Connor's dancing on NBC-
TVS Comedy Hour" are not
achieved by accident. Tap dane
ing always has been a problem on
Itelevision, though one which prob
ably has worried more dancers
than viewers. What happens to
dancers is that the microphone
boom is raised whenever the CAM
era is pulled back for long shot
and the sound of the tap dancing
becomes fainter. Some dancers
have talked directors into using
ImicrophoneS on the stage floor,
but this isn't completely salts
factory, either.
Mr.. O'Connor has licked the
problem simply by borrowing an
old trick from the makers of movie
musicals. The sound of the taps
for an O'Connor dance is pre-
recorded, then played back while
he does the dancing before the
camera. It can't be done in New
York, apparently, because Of union
problems, a state of affairs which
may have all tap dancers follow
ling the situation comedies to
Hollywood.

The actors, of all people, have
struck blow for the common
man Of the Goth Century. The
actors Chose who are members
of the Screen Actors Guild, that
isl have gone on strike against
the producers of filmed television
commercials.
It is the first strike in the
guilds 19-year history. president
Walter Pidgeon pointed out, add
ling "it may be a tough one" 1t
may very well be. but Mr.. Pidgeon
should take heart. He has the
sympathy, if not the outspoken
support. of millions of televiewers
in his crusade.
This could turn out to be the
most popular cause in the entire
history of labor disputes. A strike
which cuts of your milk supply,
your transportation, your bagel
deliveries, or in some other way
causes inconvenience. always is
ATTENDED by some grumbling. Few
among the home viewers would
do any grumbling about a strike
terminating the flow Of testimon-
Iials into the living room.
That's exactly what this one
might do, unless the producers
meet the actors demands for extra
pay for additional showings of
filmed commercials. Gone will be
The singer attributing her golden
tone to use of the right deodorant.
Gone will be the glamor girl at
tributing her beauty to regular
applications of the right shampoo.
Gone will be the Leading man who
gives credit for his success to
smoking the proper cigarette.
Mr.. Pidgeon may win a Peabody
Award for outstanding public
service without ever doing a tele-
vision show. :
There is one dire possibility
The Screen Actors Guild might
well have its lawyer investigate
the chances Of getting an injunc-
ton against it. The dire possibility
is that sponsors, bereft of new
filmed commercials, may just run
the old testimonials over and over
again, giving us a sort of visual
version of the Chinese water cure.
Until something like that hap
pens, however, let us all have a
kind thought for the actors on
strike. Theirs is the first construc-
tive criticism made of television
commercials.

The Montgomery County Ju-

backed up its plea for a full-time
juvenile judge by preparing a

create q full-time juvenile judg-

peared at a public hearing before
the Council to indorse the bill.
The report states that the

ants, a full-time director for Ii

for these full-time people, but we
