TV-Rodio Week
TV-Rodio Week
Not For Stoy-ot-Homes
Closed Circuit TeIevision Looks
Toward Its Busiest Season Yet
By Woyne Oliver
BY Wayne Oliver
Associated Press Staff Writer.
NEW YORK.

Anew 4$4t4As
Television with grand opera,
symphonic music, hit Broad
way plays and Notre Dame
football is coming up this fall
but not for home viewers.
It's closed circuit television,
piped into theaters and hotels,
a form of TV that has been
around for several years but
only now is beginning to bios
som into big time both for en-
tertainment and for business
and industrial use.
Theater Network Television,
Inc, pioneer in the field, will
be doing its 10th major closed
circuit telecast when it shows
the second Marciano- Charles
fight in theaters across the
country September Is. It also
has signed to do theater tele-
casts of the opening night per-
formances of the Metropolitan
Opera the next three seasons.
Football and Floor Shows
Box Office Television, Inc,
for the second season will do
theater telecasts of Notre
Dame football games not seen
on home TV, and plans closed
circuit theater showings of one
or more Broadway hit plays.
The firm also has announced
plans for bringing floor shows
from famous night spots to
smaller clubs throughout the
country via big TV screens.
A newcomer to the field, Dor
Television. Inc, will telecast
the opening night concert Of
the New York Philharmonic
Symptoms new season, Oc-
tober 7, to theaters in 81
cities.
One of the fastest growing
uses of closed circuit network
TV has been for Nationwide
sales and management meet
ings of large business and in
duStrial firms. An example
was Ford Motor Co.'s 39-city
hookup via Box Office Televi-
sion for $4,000 dealers and
statesmen. Dodge and Ma
tional Dairy Products staged
similar meetings through TINT,
as did Chrysler, Pan Ameri-
can and Sheraton Corp. on
BOT.
It's Mobile, Too
A little more than 100 mo-
ton picture theaters and a
number of hotels have televi-
sion projection equipment but
closed circuit telecasts are not
limited to places with perma.
nent installation. TINT says
it has Al mobile and portable
projection units and BOT re-
ports it has 81.
The Sheraton Corp. through
an arrangement with BOT Of
fers closed circuit TV for COM
panies or. groups wanting to
hold multicity meetings at ho-
tells in it's chain. Five Shera-
ton hotels have permanent
large screen TV equipment
& and portable projectors are
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-08-29

moved into the others when
needed.
The closed circuit theater
and hotel TV hookups use the
same type of network circuits
as those leased by the broad
casting companies for relaying
home TV to stations around
the country. But the trans
missions are fed directly into
the theater or hotel projectors
instead of going to stations to
be put on the air.
Some Shows Return
Programs on TV picked up a
little last week from their sum-
mer lull with the return OF
Perry Como and Life with
Father" on CHS and E d die
Fisher and a fresh "Dragnet"
series on NBC. In addition,
LUX Video Theater" launched
it's new one-hour version on
NBC and Canadian football
and the new Mickey Rooney
show also began on the same
network.
"You Are There" on CHS and
Loretta Young on NBC resume
today. Other returnees during
the coming week will include
10 Stafford, "See 1t Now"
Mama" and Person to Per-
son" on CHS. "Circle Theater"
and ETHEL and Albert" plus
new series on "Fireside The
alter" and MY Little Margie"
on NBC.
Medical case histories might
sound like unlikely material
for television programs, but
they're tense, exciting drama
as presented IN a new NBC-
TV series Medic" starting
September 49,.
If the entire series lives up
to the episodes previewed for
newsmen here the other day,
it should become a medical
counterpart of "Dragnet." And
that comparison is not as far
fetched as it might sound. as
the program was created and
is being written by James
Moser, who was the original
writer for "Dragnet" for both
radio and TV.
NBC thinks enough of the
show to schedule it for Mon
day nights opposite CHS top
rated II Love Lucy" and it
already has picked up a well
heeled sponsor, Dow Chemical
Co.

Thompson Estate Appeals Tax
Case Ruling To Supreme Court
Attorney Says
Circuit Judge
Erred In His
Ruling Ii, Case

The estate Of the late Norber,
Thompson. late Key West industia
tycoon, has appealed to the Flor
ida Supreme Court. a decision
awarded to the city of Key West Ii
a $4,000 tax suit.
Attorney w. Curry Harris filef
Ithe notice Of appeal with Circuit
Court Clerk Earl Adams on Jan
Z. 4 was learned today. Circui,
Court Judge Martin E. Wiseheart
Miami, had ruled in favor of the
city on November 6 and ordered
the estate Of Thompson, who amas
|sed fortune from. commercial
fishing to pay delinquent taxes. in.
terest and attorneys fees amount
ing to more than $50, 900.
6ssis for the appeal, Harris
said today, is thar Judge Wise.
nesFf issued an erroneous rvl.
ing mat sax assessments asains
Thompson were valid"
The suit was originally filed by
thompson claiming that his plush
estate, built on a natural island
east of Roosevelt Boulevard. was
out OF the city limits. The property
according to a local realtor. L
now worth at least $3.50, 900.
thompson later amended his
complaint, saying that tax assess.
menfS levied since 1912 by the city
were Invalid since tax warrants
posted IN the city books were MOI
properly signed by the tax assess.
or, that the legal description of the
property being taxed was INSULT,
cient and that the cify's assess.
ment was based on the county's
levy rather than by an independ,
ent survey of the property.
But after bordering the case for
more than a year, Judge Wise,
heart ruled that ut is true tina,
the courts have said that the de.
scription of lands on an assessment,
roll, so faulty as not to war;
the owner of the charge upon

such is not the case here"
There is no merit TO the conten.
