FTVh the AIT
mot Even Ethel Barrymore
Can Salvage 'Opening Night
ION the Air
By Horry Macarthur

/ Miss Ethel Barrymore, who has
been one of the fairest decorations
of the American stage and screen
for several years now, turned this
week to television. She has faced
the image orthicons before-as
Tallulah Bankhead's guest. for in
stance-but this was a dramatic
role. 1t was attended, naturally
by some fanfare.
Miss Barrymore had, however
the misfortune to make this ap-
pearance as a TV star on a pro-
gram titled Hollywood Opening
Night" (WNBW-Monday,
PM. This is a dramatic pro-
gram which manages to demon
strate vividly that the environ
ment named in the title leaves
its mark on all it touches.
In the first place, Hollywood
Opening Night" is performed be-
fore a studio audience. A dramatic
program on television needs a
studio audience and it's reaction
just about as much as Adlai Stew
enson needs Milton Berle's joke
file. If it is played for the studio
audience it becomes almost total
loss at home by not taking full
advantage of television. If it takes
advantage of fluid camera move
ment, the studio audience can see
nothing but confusion.
x X 4
In the second place, Hollywood
Opening Night" employs the serv-
ices of a movietoWn columnist
and radio spieler named Jimmy
Fidler to establish rapport with
this studio audience. This must
be his function. since he never
addresses his remarks to any one
else, like the viewers at home
He comes on at the opening to
tell the folks they are going to
see a great show. He returns at
the end to tell them they have
just witnessed a stirring perform
ance. If any one ever catalogues
tsuperf1uous functions, this one will
be near the top of the list.
In the third place, Hollywood
Opening Night apparently is
written by authors finding no de-
mand right now for Class B movie
scripts. Miss Barrymore found her.

self, for instance, embroiled in a
tale of Mother Superior whose
premises were invaded by re-
Gently shot criminal seeking sane
tuary. He waved gun about and
clustered for awhile, frightening
a young nun and an orphan boy
but not ruffling the calm of the
Mother Superior.
After awhile the police sur
rounded the place and the man
vowed to take somebody out with
him as a shield to aid in his
escape. You'd better pray for a
miracle to get you out of this
one, he advised the Mother Su-
perior. She told HIM cody that
nothing of the sort would be sum-
moned to save her insignificant
life.
He took another look out the
window and promptly was struck
by lightning. At least on our
screen he seemed to be struck by
lightning. Anyhow, there was a
flash and he dropped his gun
and turned TO say, There's your
miracle, whether you prayed for
it or not" And that was that.
Perhaps it is unfair to blame
the author for what happened to
his script after it left his hands.
miraculous Ways" may have
come from the typewriter a rev.
erent and affecting story. Nor
can any blame be attached to
Miss Barrymore. Her performance
was both reverent and affecting
and her voice was a joy to hear,
the kind of music television sends
us not too often.
The actor playing the villain
OF the piece managed to foil both
author and Miss Barrymore, how
ever, with some fragrant over
acting. (And if that adjective is
misspelled. you'll know what one
printer was watching Monday
night.) He stormed about in
Hollywood theatres which sug-
gested that he was under the
impression that he had been
elected to impersonate Charles
Laughton in The Hunchback of
Notre Dame" He may have kept
two nuns and a boy prisoner with
that gun, but when he came in
the door realism went out the
window.
This whole thing seemed about
par for the Hollywood Opening
Night" course, though Miss Barry
more's acting trickery was supe-
rior to that displayed on several
previous telecasts of the show.
Somebody had better bring Miss
Barrymore East and introduce her

pottery from local clay. ATT
tempts have been made from
time to time to establish a pot
terry industry but for various
reasons they did not succeed,
Pottery, tiles, bricks, etc, are
all imported and prices are ex-
ceedingly high. For instance,
flower pots made in the Brit
ish islands 200 miles distant
are retailing in the Virgin Is
lands at from 500 to 800 per-
cent higher than those locally
charged in the British islands
There is a considerable lo-
cal market for such items as
casero1es and other kitchen
utensils, flower pots, ! e
brick, and other pottery and
ceramic products. A large item
is a pottery water cooler. In
the British islands practically
every family has an earthen-
ware charcoal pot for cooking
which sells on the market at
about 35 to 40 cents. This same
type of pot, but made Of cast
iron and imported to the Vir-
Gin Islands, sells at $3.50 to
$3.50
