On the Air
TVS a Boon to Moviegoers,
However FiIm-Mokers Feel
By Horry Macarthur

Whatever Hollywood's movie
makers think of television, it is
certain to win the gratitude of the
Nations movie-goers. It is sure to
do so. at any rate. If things work
out as Nat Holt foresees. Mr.. Holt.
like many, another film producer,
has been keeping an ear to the
ground and an eye to the tele-
vision screen.
He paused recently during the
filming of a Paramount Techni-
color picture, Pony Express" to
set forth q view or two about
Hollywood and TV. His thought is
the fairly elementary one that
Hollywood won't be able to serve
up mediocre entertainment any
more and get away with it. The
customers can get enough Of that
at home with their shoes off.
''There is no future for so-called
program fare in our theaters, -
said Mr.. Holt. The motion picture
industry, he went on. cannot sub
stitute mediocrity for entertain
ment and hope to disguise it as
showmanship.
"Once upon a time double fea-
tureS may have whetted the Gus
toners appetite for a bargain.
but nowadays he can ind q bigger
bargain in his own home, for free.
The competition must be met with
quality. not quantity.
when a TV owner invests in a
baby-sitter. transportation and
theater tickets" Holt concluded.
''it's obvious he's after something
he can't get at home. He's look
ing for high quality entertain
ment. I say it's up to the studios
to provide it and the theaters to
present it attractively, conven-
iently and economically. There is
no other way for the industry to
survive"

toppled from the top position in
all the TV audience ratings. There
was talk during the summer that
a drastic change would have taken
place in the formal Of Berle's
"Star Theater" by the time we saw
it again. The success of the
Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz II Love
Lucy" prompted the thought that
Berle, too, might switch to situa-
tion comedy.
Now comes word from NBC-TV
that the comic will definitely have
"a completely refurbished show
when "Star Theater" returns on
September Is. The nature of the
change isn't being announced and
right now the networks publicity
department is referring to it as
"a big surprise feature"
Some aspects of the change
have been announced, however
There will be no master of cere-
monies chores for Berle and the
number of variety acts appearing
lon the hour long program win be
reduced. Top name personalities
win appear as guest stars. to be
lintegrated into that s'slirprise
Feature"
Coincident with the change In
formal win be q realignment of
responsibility In the production
ranks. Berle. who formerly had a
firm hand in a major portion OF
the production, direction, music
arrangement, writing and other
chores connected with the show,
will devote his energies now to
playing the stellar role. He prob
ably win continue to do some of
the writing. but that chore will
largely be taken over by a script
staff headed by Goodman Ace.
Gregg Harrison. who did the ''Kate
Smith Show" last season, will
direct Berle.
Another change from last sea-
sons routine will have Berle ap-
pearing on three out Of four weeks
only. Every fourth week another
show for another sponsor will take
over the Tuesday-at-8 spot on
NBC-TV.

will be bestowed during the pro-

PIGSKIN PROGRESS The
schedule Of college football games
to be teleyised this fan, under
General Motors sponsorship over
NBc-Tv, is rapidly being whipped
into shape. The TV football sea-
son will be opened on September
20 with the telecasting of the
Texas Christian-Kansas game at
Lawrence, Kans. There will be
football for televiewers on the fol-
lowing 10 Saturday afternoons.
The schedule isn't complete yet,
but it viii include Columbia VS..

ford VS.. Michigan October A.,
Michigan State VS.. Texas A & M
(October I'D and Army VS.. Navy
(November 29).
It seems quite probable that the
sponsor is waiting to see which
college elevens arouse the most
interest before filling those late
October and November dates.

SEWARD "BOMBED"
 WITHOUT WARNING FRIDAY AFTERNOON

At 3:15 pm. Friday, Seward was "bombcd,' without warn ing, by an "aggrcssor" plane. The bombs were nothing more dangerous than leaflets bearing 1T a i d instructions, but it should serve to wake up the tOWnspeoDle as to what it could have been
 The people of Seward have been most negligent in regards to Civil Defense. The director, Col. C. E. Johnson, has been unsuccessful in arousing the slightest interest anywhere.
 Other communities in the Third Division, including Pal mer, Anchorage, Kodiak and Cordova, have been participat- ing in a practice alert all week. They have we'll organized and working civil defense organiza tions. Has Seward? No, We have been so sure that nothing would happen here.
 Had the plane that went over Friday afternoon been an enemy, it would not be necessary to think about civil defense-or anything else.
 The leaflets bore the following message:
 Your city has just undergone an "aggressor" aerial bombing attack as a part of military ma neuverS designed to train and test the military forces of Al aska in their roll as defenders of the Territory.
 ,"Civil Defense is the passive means by which civilians can minimize the effects ot an en- cmy attack on civilian communl- ties, thereby freeing the mili- tary to destroy the enemy. Al askans have an outstanding rep htation for resourcefulness and elf-sufficiency born of necessity. These qualities will insure the success of the civil defense or ganization should Alaska be at tackled, but teamwork and train ing are a vital prerequisite to such success lest an initial, sui~ prise attack be disastrous.
 What would you have done had each of these leaflets been a high-cXplosive or incendiary bomb? Would you have been panic stricken? Or do you know exactly what you should have done?
 Are all members of your civil defense organization fully trained and prepared for an at tack now? Have you volunteered your services to your civil de tense organization?
 The Military is doing its part for Military defense Are you doing your part for civil de fCnse?"
 The reverse SlQc Ot the lGatlet gives instructions of what you should do in case of a bombing attack with warning or without Warning-at home, at work, at school, in the open or in ve- hicleS.
 WHY do we not have a civil defense organization? It is not because the mayor and council have not tried several times to organize. The toWnspeople have failed to realize or are careless, or do not believe in the need. Now that we can see what could have happened, is there any use to try again? We will welcome your opinion in writing on the subject.
