On the Air
Chicago School Revival
May Be Only Temporary
By Harry Macarthur

Dy HoIIy !
The Chicago school, of all
things, is about to have a small
summer revival. There is not
likely to be anything permanent
about it, but you never can tell.
Strange things happen in tele-
vision.
The Chicago school always has
been admired by viewers and
critics alike. It's two brightest
features have been a willingness
to stray from beaten paths and
casual intimacy. the tailoring of
TV programs to living room size.
The main opponents of Chi
cago televiSion, it seems to an
innocent byStander, must be in
the New York advertising agen-
cies. Chicago is too far away to
be kept under strict Madison ave-
nue. control. It may be merely
coincidence, but two of the out
standing examples of Chicago TV
have been more shabbily treated
than many an inferior show Gre
ated in Hollywood or New York.
According to trade gossip, Burr
Tillstrom's troubles started when
he refused to move "Kukla, Fran
and Ollie" to New York. First
his daily time was cut in half,
then he wound up with a half
hour every Sunday afternoon.
The same trade talk has it
that the end of "Garroway-at-
Large" became inevitable when
he refused to transfer to a New
York origination. He did lose a
sponsor. it is true. but it is hard
to believe that NBC could not
have found another if it had
really wanted one.
This, of course, may be unfair
since it also is true that this
small summer revival of the Chi
cago school is taking place on
NBC. Two new shows will be
added to the networks program
ming schedule next week, The
Benefits" on Monday through
Friday at 11:15 am, and "The
Eddy Arnold Show" on Tuesdays
and Thursdays at 7:30 pm.
This will bring the total Of
Chicago originated NBC shows to
eight. The others not mentioned
already are ZOO Parade" "Mr.
Wizard" Ding Dong School,"
Hawkins Falls" and welcome
Travellers"
Hawkins Falls" incidently,
will be moved to the II am. spot
on Monday, bringing up a unique
situation. The producer-Writer
team responsible for Hawkins
Falls" at IL am. (Ben Park and
Bill Barrett) also will produce
and write "The Benefits" at
11:15. 1t probably is the first
time that ever happened.
Writer Barrett. with this pres
ent schedule facing him, has de-
cided that he may never finish
that novel he started once. He
showed the first three chapters
to a publisher and got an ad-
vance, but never got around to
completing the work. Faced with
two 15-minute TV scripts a day.
five days a week, he doesn't
foresee much work on the novel
this summer.

PROBLEM-Danny Thomas.
who has moved to ABC-TV, will
start his new program in Octo-
ber. sponsored on an alternate
week basis by the American
Tobacco Co. The new show ap-
parently is to be situation
comedy series. The advance word
from the network is that it will
present Thomas "in the role of
Danny Williams, a highly sue
cessful entertainer ardently
striving to give more time to
his family" This sounds as if
it might be a shade autobiogra-
phically inspired. Mr.. Thomas is

Mystery OF The Incarnation
Will Be Theme At lst Baptist


On Sunday morning the sermon
topic at the First Baptist Church
viii be on The Great Mystery
Of the Incarnation -- The God ~
Man: Jesus Christ" Jesus Christ
is the key to the Interpretation Of
Scripture. he is the keystone in
mis- vast arch Of spiritual truth.
One Of the most conspicuous fea.
lures in the Old Testament litera.
ture is its MeSsianie element.
In many and varied forms the
rich contents of the MessianIe hope
are expressed. The prophets ex-
pected a Deliverer, a great Lead
or, a holy kingdom, a reign Of a
righteous King, Gods presence
among men, a world transformed
under the power Of Gods chosen
One. The Old Testament in ali its
lines Of development eliminates in
Jesus Christ. He is the. great his
torical fact and cornerstone oil
Christianity. The Gospels and the
Epistles Of the New Testament are
devoted to the task of interpreting
Him.
In Scripture q mystery may BIZ
a fact which, when revealed VIC
cannot understand in detail, though
we can know it, and act upon it
It is a thing only to be known
when revealed. II is therefore nee,
essary to approach them in the at
titude Of faith. ''The secret things
belong unto us and to our children
forever, deuteronomy 1921.
There are secret things which
belong unto the Lord. There are
revealed things, which God haI
made so plain that they may b.
comprehended. these belong unto
us and to our children" It is the
solemn duty of all who desire Il
know the Christ, that they should
diligently study the things reveal
ed, and reverently rest with re
gard to the secret things.
