Let's do some Monday
morning quarterbacking on
the Academy Awards and ask
why Moulin Rouge" failed
even to get nominated for
color photography?
A Life magazine photogra-
pher by the name Of Eliot Eli
sofon was color conSultant on
this picture, a biography of
painter Toulouse-Lautrec. Eli
sofon used camera filters like
the artist used a brush.
The result was an effect Of
color that brought nothing but
raves from critics. He became
the subject Of numerous ar
ticles In national camera
magazines.
His startling use Of color,
in fact. brought him recog-
milton every place but the
academy. which supposedly
should have been the first to
take notice.
A number Of sources among
movie people give the same
frank answer: Elisofon is not
Of Hollywood, not q member Of

not nominated.
Even more surprising Is the
fact that Moulin Rouge" won

Those 525 lines on the face Of

millions of minute dots Of

Of your present receiver.
This produces a mono-
chrome picture as good, or
maybe even a bit better, than

RCA system is, in other words,
compatible. If color telecast-
ing were to start tomorrow
by this system, your set might
be obsolescent, but it would
serve until you were ready to
replace it. You might not
have color, but you would not
be denied any part of the tele-
vision service on the air.
Too Mony Sets
The RCA system has since
been replaced by the expo
nents of compatibility with q
method finally decided upon
by a National Television Sys-
TENS Committee. The nature
Of the differences between this
and the RCA method appar.
entity are highly technical and
the result is still the same
color or compatibility.
This compatibility, hateful
as the word may be around
CHS, is what happened to
color TV. Or rather, the
heady promise of it is what
happened to CHS color Tv.
Now it is q little difficult to
refrain from saying, II told
you So" BY the time CHS was
ready to telecast in color,
after FEC approval and with
litigation out of the way, it
was June, 1851, and there
were 1875 million black-and-
white TV receivers in use.
It was obvious at that time
that advertisers would not de-
sert this audience to build
another one from scratch. It
became more and more OBJ
vious as CHS color telecastS
started without generating
much excitement that the
customers were waiting for
compatibility. That order M.

lid on CHS color and. as DIR.

the lid is securely on.

It seems like old times
around here. Compatibility
once again is not merely the
opposite of what people go to
Reno to cure. Color television
is back on the front pages,
stealing space from Mccarthy.

as infiamed as he had been
the first time he saw color TV
and decided that everybody
ought to have it by 5 o'clock
the next morning. Powerful
interests" he limited darkly
this time, were keeping color
television from the American
people.
A powerful interest. indeed,
was. It was one named the
National Production Authority.
In 1851 Charles E. Wilson,
then director of defense mo-
bilization, issued the famous
NPA order MO. This pro-
hibited the manufacture Of
color television sets. It was
revised in 1852 without chang
ing its practical effects.
So now Senator johnson
wanted somebody investigated
and it turned out that the
House Commerce Committee
was all primed for the job. In
no time at all-hardly more
than it takes the Congressional
Limited to make it from Penn
Station to Washington-some
familiar figures had re-
appeared on the local scene.
RCA Is Reody
DR.. Elmer w. Engstrom, RCA
vice president in charge Of the
laboratories division, was talk
ing about compatibility. If the
FEC gave it the word. he indi-
Gated, RCA would be happy to
make color television sets hand
over fist. DR.. Frank M. Stan
ton, president Of CHS, was
talking about approval and
lack Of cooperation. FEC gave
it the word, he said, but no
body in the TV industry would
pay any attention.
You will have to have a little
background information to un-
derstand this present imbrog-
lilo, If you are among mod
erately recent converts to tele-
vision. The dispute over a
proper color system for TV
dates back q dozen years or
so, but it only came into prom
inence in 1850 when the Fed
eral Communications Commis-
sion approved the CHS system
for commercial use. The dis
pute hinges on the basic diff
ferences between the two sys-
TENS. Each produces good color
pictures. but there are those
differences.
The Columbia Broadcasting
Systems method produces
these color pictures with a
field sequential" system. The
picture on the face Of q TV
tube Is made up Of SIS lines
rapidly scanned by a beam
from an electron gun. This
scanning produces so fields"
or 80 complete pictures, every
second. In the CBS system q
complete field Is broadcast in
one color, then in the second.
then In the third. A spinning
color wheel in front of the pic
ture tube is synchronized with
q spinning color wheel In the
camera.
Workable System
This is simple and 1t works.
The drawback is not the spin
ming disc, which apparently is
as dependable as any of our
modern mechanical or cleo
tronic devices. The drawback
is that the field seQuential
