RIGHT TRACK-Mr. Bolger,
to get back to him, seems to be
headed in the right direction on
this, his second, television sea-
son. The newness of his promised
new" formal is not easy to
detect-it is still comedy with
a few songs and dances-but this

On the Air
The Studio Audience Irks,
But Mr.. BoIger Has Marie
BY HorFy Macarthur

The new television season is
not very old. but it already has
been made clear that nobody
has managed to abolish the
studio audience. This bane Of
home entertainment, in fact,
seems to be gaining on us. If any
thing. It turned up in a new spot
the other night, the one hour
drama, striking the only dis
cordant note in the premiere
p erform nee on CBS-Tv's
monthly BEST Of Broadway"
colorcast.
The obvious feeling Of many
viewers on this score is put into
succinct words by j. E. johnson
of Annandale. Writes he: "The
Best of Broadway on CHS is
excellent. Terrific cast, etc. But
why do they have studio audi
ences for plays like this? I shud-
der every time the audience ap-
plauds the entrance of a star or
laughs over a bright saying.
Somehow ! don't feel like I'm
in a theater while watching TV."
This ability to differentiate
between being q member of an
Evening star., 1954-09-21

is not complaint. The Friday
night ABC-TV show has Bolger,
who is a vastly talented dancer
and comic with a warm per-
sonality, as hardly anyone needs
to be told. Any forrnat which
gets him from one speciality
number to another is alright
with this Bolger fan. And if: it
has blond Marie Millar to dec
crate it. there's no room for COM
plant at all. AS that young TO
day" reporter kept saying when
felled into incoherence by the
sight of Marilyn Monroe. "Wow!"
One show does not make a
series, but the first chapter Of
Ray Bolger's new enterprise was
a light-h earted ingratiating
frolic. Its promise is high, even
with that studio audience.

It wouldn't be 50 bad except

either. They assume that we,
too. can't recognize comedy until
somebody else laughs. Nothing
will come Of your complaints
about this, either. until the
manufacture Of comedy is put
in control of those who recognize
comedy on sight.
AS things are going now even
one Of the geniuses is committed
to the studio audience this
season. The new Ray Bolger
Show" (WMAL-Tv - Friday.
$3.50 p.m.) comes equipped with
this sound track assistance, as
SiStance which Mr.. Bolger
doesn't need.
4 4 +
Bolger, as far as this viewer
is concerned, can do no wrong,
or very little wrong, but he is
something of a disappointment
on this score. He used to be
on our side, all for casting those
sound track laughs adrift. Here
he is now. though, talking for
publicity about the value of an
audience to a performer, about
the warmth kindled all around
by audience enthusiasm.
It could be. of course. that
Bolger is making the best of
things, selecting the lesser of two
evils. Last year he was saddled
with one of those phony laugh
tracks. added after his TV shows
had been filmed; this year he is
doing the filming before an
audience in what is known out
in Double- le-Dubuque as the Lucy
technique.
It is an improvement, but that
studio audience will demonstrate
its worth only If Bolger comes up
this year with something equal
in spirit to his Where's Char
ley?" That movie was made
without a snicker of audience
enthusiasm on the sound track
and it was a wonderfully comic
show.
4 Il +
The studio audience, Incl
dentally, does more than merely
i,ritate the home viewers by
making its unwelcome presence
felt. It actually alters a per-
formance, makes it almost al
ways less a television show than
a televised stage show.
This is what happened to the
BEST of Broadway" production
of "The Royal Family" That
failure to make full use of the
closeup, an even more useful
device on television's smaller
screens than in mammoth
movies. was no mere lapse on the
part of Director Paul Nickel.
Mr.. Nickel knows how to use
cameras effectively, but he seems
to have been hampered here, ac-
cording to word from our Holly
wood reporter, Hal Humphrey,
a persistent man when pursuing
a fact. In catering to this
handful of people in the studio"
writes Mr.. Humphrey, ''the cam
eras seldom were allowed to
move in close to the action on
the stage. But in being careful

in a living room and being a
member of an audience of sew

some reason or other the differ

a number Of those who prepare
our television entertainment.
