On theAH

One network, at least, is not
going to make the same mis-
take that was made four years
ago when television covered
its first presidential inaugural.
This will not be a pooled tele-
cast as was that in 1949. The
four networks-ABC, CHS.
Du Mont and NBC-will be on
their own. Their mistakes and
triumphs will be their own.
And Bill McAndrew knows
one mistake he will not make.
or at least will try hard not
to make. Mr.. McAndrew, for
mer general manager of MICS
stations here, now is manager
of news and special events for
the NBC network. AS such,
he will be in charge of his
chains radio and televiSion
coverage of Tuesdays events,
holding a set of electronic
reins at a control point set up
in WNBW's Wardman Park
studio.
He was discussing some of
his forthcoming problems the
other afternoon in a Shore
ham Hotel suite, an unac-
customed place, he allowed,
for an old Washington boy to
be holding forth. He had,
he said, been examining the
kinescope recording of tele-
visions coverage of President
Truman's Inauguration and
the parade he reviewed. He
had found some things he
thought had been wrongly
done.
A kaleidoscope
"What was the most serious
mistake you recognized?"
asked a reporter who already
had his own idea.
"Too many cuts" said Mr..
McAndrew instantly. 1T got
to be such a kaleidoscope no
body watching could tell ex-
actly what was going on"
That is exactly the complaint
many viewers voiced four
years ago next Wednesday.
And that is what Mr.. Mean
drew intends to avoid Tues
day afternoon. He will have
cameras located at strategic
points along the line Of march,
in addition to those at the
Capitol and White House, but
he hopes to use them with
discretion.
Fifteenth and the Avenue
is the best place to watch the
parade, especially from q
television standpoint. I ex-
pect that well concentrate on
the cameras there. OF course,
as I see this. the new Presi-
dent will be the central figure.
Well have to be alert for any
reaction from him to q float
or unit in the parade and snap
it on the air briefly"
None Of this Is meant to In
dicate that those In charge Of
the TV coverage for the other
networks are not aware Of the
same problems. They undoubt-
edly have access, too, to that
1949 kinescope. Having be-
come so closely involved with
the 1852 election with their
convention coverage, all are
bent upon seeing it through
with thorough coverage Of the
1853 inaugural.

taken it on the summer theater
circuit, tinkered with it, played
it, rehearsed it, and reworked
it for months to get it just
right to bowl over Broadway's
critics and audiences.
But they agreed with the
Playwright's Company, the
producer, that everything
about the play clamored for
a road company. Its theme
was one of universal appeal. It
had the incredibly small num-
ber of two characters. 1t had
a single, smallish set. It could
be travelled inexpensively while
playing, almost surely, to large
audiences.
Other performers, qualified
to fill the roles, loved "The
Fourposter." They would be
happy to play it, but not on
the road. The road is so long,
they said, and so difficult now

Cronyns Happy in 'Fourposter'
Stars of Comedy Glad for Season Road When They Might

The Hume Cronyns, she is
Jessica Tandy in professional

time seeing America. And be-
ing seen by America in "The
Fourposter," which is now
playing to virtual capacity at
the National Theater.
This is as it should be.
In fact, were the Cronyns
and the country less blissful
about the formers season on
the road, it would be an out
rageous injustice. This is not
merely because they are all
nice people, the acting couple
and their countless fans. Even
more "involved is that the
Cronyns made a brave and
high-minded decision, the kind
that deserves to pay off. when
they chose to tour a full sea-

NEW YUM.
For three weeks Broadway
has been as lacking in new,
exciting shows as a desert.
Now comes the deluge and
the last two weeks of January
bring a series of new shows
which promise much with Stel-
lar casts and outstanding play
wrights. Also, there is a re-
vival of an ancient hit which
should not fail if only for SEN
timent's sake.
Six shows are due within
nine nights. A seventh one
was scheduled, but decided at
the last moment not to come
in, this being "The Intruder"
with Margaret O'Brien.
The procession started Thurs
day with BE Your Age" in
which screen and television
star Conrad Nagel plays a
leading role. A play with
laughs. it has the veteran Ma
gel trying to escape the ro-
mantle interlude that a girl
much younger than he de-
mands.
Arriving the following night,
"The Love of Four Colonels,"
is a comedy by Peter Ustinov,
which has the husband-wife
team of Rex Harrison and Lilli
Palmer in the starring roles.
Woys Of CoIoneIs
In -Four ,Colonels" Harri-
son, as the devil. conducts four
colonels of the occupying
powers in Germany to a castle
in which Miss Palmer is a
sleeping beauty. The colonels
each try in his own way a
romantic conquest. The
American tries the gangster
methods of the 192Os, the
Russian the moody despond-
ency Of Chekov, the Briton
tries Elizabethan guile and
the Frenchman the mode of
Moliere.

take it on the road. Not in
the spirit Of martyrs or pas
sionate idealists. There are
not two more human people in
the theater. The Cronyns felt
some one had to go and if no
one else was available, they
would be the ones. The prof.
ect had advantages and disad-
vantages, one of the latter be-
ing the selection of schools
ranging up to Vassar for
daughter Susan, the oldest
child.
"And we had a great sum-
rAer in between" Hume says
with characteristic candor.
"The best vacation an actor
has in his economically
treacherous life is the one
when he knows he has an
established hit to go back, to
in the fall. Normally, you
never know when a lull be-
tween shows, will end. You
may make what sounds like
a lot of money, but it never
really is. In acting, as in any
thing else these days, you've
got to keep working. So, it was
great to know that we had
this work to come back to last
fall"
Did their season on the road
tempt the Cronyns to broaden
their playing of THE Four
poster?
Audiences the Some
Not in the slightest, they
say. Why should it? Audiences
are no different one place
from another. They had had
a year in New York to polish
their performance as Agnes
and Michael to its very last
detail.
why changer" asks Miss
Tandy.
The Cronyns have come
back from the road feeling
intensely about q number Of
things. One Of these is that
the theater is the slave of too
many stuffy practices.
Hume, the more vehement
Cronyn, says: "They keep find
ing new ways to sell every
thing else, beer, toothpaste,
motor cars, etc. Why not the
theater? Why not. say, a 7
o'clock curtain such as we are
trying here on Tuesday night
of both weeks? Some people,
maybe a lot of them, who can
not go to the theater at the
traditional hours might find
out how wonderful it can be.

them to other mediums Of

tential customers" :
incidentally. skeptics of the
Cronyn's pioneering early cur
tain here last Tuesday were
amazed with the virtual sell
out result.

her share the same interest in

"You know, it is amazing" said
Yael, the wonderful feeling
everyone seems to have for Israel.
Everyplace go, people ask me
about Israel-Jew and non-Jew,
and the sympathy is so wonderful
to feel. But the American people
are wonderful anyhow. Never

ple!"
Yael said that the intimate
friendliness is what impressed
her most about the American peo-
pie . In answer to my question
she said that things were not ex-
actly that way in Israel :.
"It is hard to explain" she said.

Jewish life and those who want
to confess to someone of a Jewish
inferiority complex But more
important than all of these facts,
Yael has missed the boat in this
purely unmapped public relations
job which she is unconsciously
doing +. The little lady is per-
feet example of which all Jewish
organizations working together
have accomplished :. She is the
personification of all American

entiate in her mind or in her
speech between Jews and Gen.
tiles To her people are SIM
ply people There might be an
answer to that in the fact that
Yael is a Sabra, native born Is
raeI, and has escaped the bitter
anti-Semitism of Europe -.
The scholarship which was pro-
vided Yael by the Council of Jew
ish Women has been, in most
part, that which has made her
stay here such a pleasant one .
It is a very generous scholarship,
and one which is part of a pro-
gram which distributed approx
mately thirty such scholarships to
Jewish students all over the world
for study in the United States.
The scholarship offers enough for
Yael not only to extend her edu-
cation here, but also to live fairly
comfortably, and to enjoy the cul-
tural life of the country :. There
is enough extra money for con-
certs and plays and for purchase
of books
