On the Air

There is a mammoth delu-
sion at large in the world of
broadcasting and we all are it's
victims. 1t is the delusion that
all who watch television are
blathering idiots who can't &C
cept something as comedy
until somebody else laughs at
it. 1t probably stems from a
more specific delusion on the
part of advertising agency
people. They seem to feel that
all advertising managers of
corporations are dunderheads
who wouldn't recognize a joke
if it turned up instead of an
olive in the bottom of a mar
TIM glass.
This thinking, to use a word
about as loosely as possible. is
responsible for the ruination of
what sometimes seems to be
SO per cent of our TV fare.
The laugh track is Hollywood's
ribof1avin. It is the constant
ingredient even though it's
benefit to mankind is yet to be
determined. If there is a tele-
film which does not have its
comedy willfully diluted with
canned outlaws. this viewer
hasn't encountered it.
This all started back in
radios earlier days when the
first of the veteran stage CO.
medians took to the air. One
of them decided he couldn't
pace his comedy with nothing
but a microphone facing him.
He invited some people in to
laugh it up.

from the Navy's psychiatrists,
but not from an inexorable
pursuer such as Greenwald.
The latter knows, as the
mutinous Maryk did when he
seized command of the Caine,
that Queeg is a coward. afraid
to face either himself or the
world. But to know it. he must
penetrate the armor of a man
whom Nolan portrays with ex-
traordinary effectiveness.
The Perfect Counterpart
In the clash between these
two, Hodiak's 1t. Maryk seems
at times to be an almost inno-
cent bystander instead of the
officer accused of mutiny. This
is the dramatic aspect of his
nature. Maryk is the simple
man of direct action. He can
seize command of a war ves-
sci in a moment of crisis. or
fall ready victim to a fellow
officer as unprincipled as 1t.
Thomas Keefer. He has the
color of the good bumbler
whose instincts are as sound
as his intelligence is unde-
veloped.
He is the perfect coun-
terpoint to characters as
idealistic as Greenwalt and as
egocentric as Queeg. These
dimensions are made clear to
the smallest fraction in Hodi-
