Politics Has Had Vast Effect on Teevision the Past
Few Months and Tv Surely Will Return'the Favor

political conventions. It gave
viewers the land over a picture
of the events in Chicago which
was both more intimate and
more comprehensive than that
had by delegates themselves.
TeleviSion. made the conven-
tions a personal experience for
millions. It undeniably became
a great force for good in our
democracy by making politics as
familiar Cor almost as familiar,
anyway as Arthur Godfrey.
Senior Romany of Puerto Rico
performed an immeasurable
service for us all, too, by max
ing it emphatically clear that
any one with the franchise had
better have the gumption to use
it and vote.
Another effect of television on
the 1852 election was that it
permitted the Democrats to
select a man of high caliber
who was almost an unknown to
run against a national military
hero whose name and face were
familiar to virtually every one
in the country. Whether or not
the Democrats were consciously
relying on television's help at
the time, they couldn't have
done without it.
TV Reaches 92 Million
Gov. Adlai Stevenson could
hardly have been considered a
contender without television. It
would have been impossible to
introduce him to enough voters
in the time between convention
and election. AS 1t Is, however,
there are more than Is million
television sets in use in the
country. More than 81 million
families, more than 80 million
people, live within reach of a
television signal.
Millions who otherwise might
never have known him have be-
come almost intimately familiar
with Gov. Stevenson They have
watched and listened as he con-
Quoted his campaign to talk
sense" to the American people.
They have seen him in different
moods have heard him when he
was sharply witty and when he
was serious, almost somber.
They have watched him grow in
confidence.
The experts and pollsters
probably ale saying something
else on other pages Of the paper
today, but no student of televi-
sion's power will be surprised if
1t turns out to be Stevenson py
a comfortable margin on Tues
day night. His TV impact is
considerable.
If it shJu go the other way.
Gen Eisenhower will owe gen.
erouS thanKs to the recent FEC

struction. 1t would be a NAM
meth irony. since an agency Of
the Democratic administration
would be unwittingly responsible
for having limited Gov. Steven

Even the candidates with

against a problem in this long

Shelton or Milton Berle or a
number of other people could
have warned them about it last
August. Television burns up
material with frightening rapid
ity. A man can tour the coun-
try with one whistle-stop speech,

vision. You can take only so

It is likely that the next elec-
ton will see either shorter cam
paigns or some outstanding and
better timing of TV appear

only so much of politics, even If
this is hard for politicians to be-
lieve. Then they go back to

NEXT year?
The Republicans have pur-
chased the last hour of election
eve on all four networks to
blanket televiSion in a final ges-
ture. This is regarded by some
as a considerable coup and. it
may turn out to be. On the
ether hand, it might be the last
straw for many viewers who
have had their fill of being
wooed by the politicos.
It is difficult to say right now
what effect television has had
on this election. It may never
be known accurately. There are,
however. couple Of safe OBJ
servations which might be made.
One Is that television has full
filled some Of its promise this
election year. It has demon
strated that it is something
more than an instrument for
simplifying home consumption
of song and dance and comedy.
There have been record reg
istrations all over the country
and a record vote is expected
next Tuesday. Some of this can
be credited to a Republican
campaign to prevent a recur-
renee of the 1948 pattern, when
many stayed at home because
they refused to vote for a Demo-
crat or Dewey or thought it was
in the bag.
A generous share of the credit
must go to television, too. Tele-

The Passing Show
The Passing Show
Stage Pros Are Amateurs
At Political Rollying
PIoyine at vote-Getting WoefuIly Unlike
Performances They Give in Thenters
By Joy Cormody

This column began back in
February in New York.
The theater district was
seething at the time with plans
for a rally at Madison Square
Garden-a monster rally. nat
urally-for Gen. Dwight D. Eli
senhower.
You wouldn't want to miss
it," every ore in show business
kept saying. 'It will be the
biggest show of the season."
Well, this correspondent did
not miss it. Not exactly. He
saw it on television. in the soli-
tude of his own living room In
Washington. The other mem
ber of the family, less crowd
shy or more politically ener-
getic or something, stayed over
in New York for the Madison
Square Garden show. She liked
Ike and still does.
Considered strictly from the
standpoint of performance, it
was not a good show. It was
disorganized, dizzy and undis-
ciplined. Some of the sharpest
pros in the theater were in
charge but they did not know
what they were in charge of.
No one was sure who was to
be on the program, in what
order. or where any one could be
found when it was his turn to
appear.
Cost Wos Colossal
The cast was wonderful with
names, Clark Gable, Ethel Mer-
man, Henry Fonda, Fred War
ing, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and
Hammerstein, etc. But these
were merely people playing poll
tics with no genuine notion of
how the game went. They liked
Ike, there was no question Of
that. but they could not find
dramatic words to express it.
The show finally simmered
down to Waring. as master of
ceremonies, asking:
who like Ike?"
"We like Ike" every one
shouted back, in considerably
more Immaculate English than
Waring had bothered to use.
This was the beginning of
show business participation in
politics and the long, emo
tional months which followed
suggested that it's members
really have no talent for it. The
harsh truth is that they seem
to be especially. even occupa-
tionally, disqualified for it. They
are an emotional lot, well be-
yond the average, and in politi-

Even the skeptic can't help
but be impressed by the first
view of cinerama.
It isn't third-dimensional in
the same sense as the pictures
you may have seen through the
old-fashioned stereoscope. or
some of the earlier experimental
movies you had to watch
through special glasses - with.
each eye seeing a separate pic
ture taken from a slightly diff
ferent angle. With those, you
still saw picture that occu-
pied only a small angle of the
total range of your eyes. which
can see not only what you're
looking at directly, but also
what's on either side.
It's Realistic
You don't have to wear special
glasses to watch cinerama. In
stead, the third dimensional
effect is produced by the giant
picture that not only is in front
of you. but curves around to
your right and left to occupy
practically your entire angle of
vision as II you actually were
there. The sound that follows
the action adds to the illusion.
Every new audience sQueals and

gotiations for use of theaters in
several different cities now are
in progress.
Dudley Roberts, president, says
theaters will have to be chosen
with care, as many are not suit
able for cinerama with its pic
lures three times as wide and
half again as high as conven-
tional movies.
Roberts, incidentally, says the
thinking now is that cinerama
never will be installed in more
than 100 theaters. and that IL
will not replace conventional
movies the way talkies super
Seded silent films.
"Our intention never vas to
make other than a premium
product halfway between the
movie and the legitimate thea
ter" he explains.
This also seems to be the con-
sensus in most Of the industry.
although reaction in other COM
panies ranges from Skepticism to
enthusiasm.
Costs Are Greater
Cinerama pictures cost more
to produce than conventional
films. and cost more to show,
besides cutting down on the
number of seats in a theater.
So there's no prospect in the
foreseeable future that they will
find their way to the neighbour
hood theater at regular prices.

room for the giant screen and

The Student Council under the
