manner from that used by the
television writer.
Take one scene, as it would
be done on radio and tele-
vision.
On radio it would be done
with sound effects. with the
voice of the character involved
supplying the visual aspects
with his thoughts, like this:
Sound: Footsteps and creaking
of board. Voice: I hope one
of these keys fits. Sound: Keys
rafting on ring. then click Of
the lock. Voice: So far. so
good. Sound: Door opening
and closing. Voice: Now.
where's the light switch. All.
here it is. Sound: Click of
switch. Voice: Now. where's
the desk. Must be over by the
window. 1t is. Sound: Foot
steps. Voice: They must be IN
one of these drawers. Sound:
Drawers being opened and
slammed shut. Voice: Eureka.
Sound: Papers being rifled.
Voice: Yes. they're all here.
Sound: Creaking board.
Voice: Wait. There's some
one outside of that door. I'll
have to shoot my way out of
this. Sound: Door opening
quickly. two shots in rapid
succession. Thud of falling
body.
Different on TV
Now take a couple of cam,
eras and try it on television.
We see a man cautiously APP
preaching a door. He takes
out ring of keys and tries
several in the lock. There's a b.
closeup on the lock as a key
turns and the man twists the
knob. We switch to a camera
inside and catch him entering.
He looks about in the gloom,
finds the switch and snaps on
the light. He looks around
the room. sights the desk and
crosses to it, with the camera
following. He looks quickly
through the drawers, finds the
papers, shuff1es them and
smiles. Then he turns with a
start as he hears that creak-
ing board. He stuffs the pa
pers in his pockets and reaches
for his gun as he watches the
door. 1t opens quickly and a
man lungeS in with a drawn
gun, The two fire and the
man by the door falls.
Now the sound track of that
as done on television would
be completely unintelligible to
radio listener. The same is
or should be true of every
drama on TV. 1t should be
true of every other program
on television that is not
basically sound to begin with
like music, singing or talking.
An Unnecessary Limit
If you start trying to make
the sound track of a televiSion
program good radio, you will
Immediately diminish the pro-
grams entertainment for
viewers. If you do only pro-
grams which are good on both
radio and TV. you are I'M
necessarily limiting the poten-
tial of each.
A picture still is worth a
thousand words. The TECH
nicians who gave us tele-
vision gave us an instrument
for doing away with a lot Of
words. If you are going to
retain the words, you may as
we'll throw away the pictures.
That, however, would be
like throwing away the old
fashioned and eating the fruit.
Some of television's most
effective moments have come
when not a word was being
spoken.
We hope Mr.. Weaver bears
this IN mind when he dreams
of the day when every tele-
vision set will have a switch
for turning off the video. so /.

The Passing Show
Producer Kramer Speaks
Maker Of 'Coine Mutiny' Hos Lovely Sequel
In Thompson's Novel About Medicine
The Passing Show
By Jay cormody

The Kramers Of Hollywood,
Stanley and Anne. came to
Washington last week looking
exactly like people sitting on
top Of the world.
What they actually are sit
ting on is the Aim version Of
"The Game Mutiny." which
Stanley produced and which
is the most exciting movie
property in years. The most
exciting movie, property. to
get that straight, is usually
the one with the brightest
profit prospects. 1.-THE Game
Mutiny" is double rich since
its artistic rating is every bit
as high as its financial one.
On top Of the world like
this. or on the way to the drug
store for a bottle of red ink as
they have been, the Kramers
are the same people. They
both have the happy gift of
facing profit and loss as if
the difference between them
was not as desperate as most
people believe:
Confidence imperative
II you are going to be the
most independent of Holly
woods few surviving indie
pendent movie producers, this
attitude Is an imperative. You
have no choice but to go on
believing in yourself and your
principles when the only sup
porting evidence is a set of
admiring reviews. These are
not negotiable although they
are. to a degree, morally nour-
ishing.
Don't get Mr.. Kramer
wrong. however.
II have nothing, absolutely
nothing. against money" he
says. MY three favorite pic
lures still are The Champion
High Noon and now The
Game Mutiny.' They had, and
have, much of everything
that I like to see in a picture,
drama. a relation to life. some
thing worth saying-and pop
ularity. The latter is what
completes the purpose behind
the other qualities"
He's Wryly Amused
Kramer's pictures may diff
fer in substance from most
others but not in the respect
that they. too, are made for
people. If he wanted to be
creative for a more limited. or
exclusive, audience, Mr.. Kra-
mer would have chosen anoth-
er medium than the movies.
Candidly. he has always want
ed the biggest audience pos
sible, the reasonable aim of
any writer which he still is
primarily.
Mr.. Kramer, who looks like
: a casting directors idea of
the dynamic young idealistic
newspaperman in movie, is
amused that so many have
misunderstood him.
For one" he says, there's
my mother. She is a perfect
~ wonderful mother Can esti-
mate ratified by daughter-in-
law AIMEE, but with her def
mite resemblances to the type.
The Devious Approach
mot long ago, we had a
mother-and-son session. She
began by telling me that she
liked to read in the newspa-
pers and magazines that I was
rather a good film producer.
1t was pleasant. she said, to
learn that I was making pic
lures that did not follow the
beaten path. She went quite
thoroughly into this, for all
the world like a woman COM
ing to a point. Finally, she
came to it.
"'But what I don't under
stand, Stanley she said. is

SCRANTON CREEK
LOGGING PROJECT
COMES TO AN END
Guy Shavender Announces
Removal of Operations to
PamIico County
BY VANN LATHAM

One of Hyde County's indus

absence shortly. The logging
business, operating out of Scranl

ing rs men will close up for a
year or two, or three.
Guy Shavender, operator of the
loading station at Scranton, has
announced that the equipment
will be moved to a new location
near Hobucken, in Pamlico Cou-
ty. The landing at Scranton was
for loading pulp wood for barge
transportation to the mill at
Plymouth. The wood was bought
from local people and also cut
off the Company lands in Hyde
County. During peak operating
periods, in excess of $1,000 per
week has been paid to local log
gers for the small logs to be
made into paper. Prices range
from SPAS to SLABS per cord.
A cord is a stacked pile of the
wood containing 1913 cubic feet.
At the present time, some 80
pieces of motorized equipment
tractors, trucks, leaders, saws,
ETC., are used, and about Is men
are employed by the company
while others are employed by
people who log and sell from
private lands. Stanley Russ is

crew will live the entire week al

ends. Others will travel to and
