The Passing Show

By Hurry
Television's one-hour dramas
seem to be attaining some
standing in the entertainment
world. Practitioners in the
other entertainment arts. the
stage and screen, may still
regard television generally as
a sort of combination sneak
thief and ticket scalper. tout
ing customers away from the
box Office. The Commute
dramatic shows, however. are
beginning to be treated as CO.
equals, with their own advaT1-
.tages over theater or film and
with their own disadvantages.
It has been the complete
actor or actress who has VEN
tured from medium to medium,
seeking a good part here, an
interesting one there and a re-
munerative one somewhere else.
Now 1t is the writer, or at
least what the writer pro-
duces, that does SO.
After all, when a producer

short-sighted of Hollywood.
too, to have passed this UP
simply on the grounds that It's
origins were shady. Clearly, II
such things are to be found on
the television, a revision OF
opinion about the shadiness OF
those origins is In order.
Proving Ground
The Theater Guild seems al
ready to be looking on tele-
vision as something more. on
occasion, than a living room
peep show which keeps other
wise sensible people from at
tending the theater. It seems,
in fact, to have been using the
Guild-produced ~. S. Steel
Hour" on ABC-TV as a sort OF
proving ground.
AS was announced the other
day, three of the recent
dramas televised on this pro-
gram are being considered as
Broadway possibilities by the
Guild. One Of them, N. Rich
ard Nash's welcome Home"
is being thought of as a We
hicle for Helen Hayes, though
apparently not by Miss Hayes,

At any rate the adaptation
Is ready for cast and director /
to take over. Mr.. Nash also
should be represented on
Broadway this coming season
by another TV play, "The
Rainmaker." Producer Ethel
Under Reiner hopes to get 1t
on, at least.
Noturol Sequel
This shaping Of the same
drama into two or three diff
ferent forms is, Of course.
simply a natural sequel to the
scarcity of skilled story tellers.
On q stage, on a movie set. in
q TV studio, no drama takes
place until somebody writes
down something for the actors
to say. It is only natural that
those in any field keep a sharp
eye on the other two, just in
case something worth borrow

It Is beginning to appear
that the coming Tv season may
prove more fruitful to the stage
and screen adapters than past

minds Of a large body Of view

From Enforcer to Star
Barry Sullivan First Was Signed to Worn

By Ed Sullivan

During Capone's heyday, the
underworld relied on 'enforc-
ers" to maintain discipline
among the rank and file. In
fact, 1t still does. These "en-
forcers" are particularly handy
with firearms, as you might
gather from their titles
The movie industry and even
big business, while not resort
ing to "torpedos," also have
worked out an enforcement
policy for unruly or mutinous
or overly ambitious employees.
Once when Alan Laid, after
establishing himself as a box
Office attraction, exhibited a
curious interest in a larger
pay check, his studio rushed in
John Lund. They welcomed
Lund with a fanfare Of pub
licity. In the Ladd case, Lund
was the "enforcer."

Heavy Traffic Is
Expected For The
Long Holiday

The heaviest weekend volume of
motor vehicle traffic Of the entire
year was predicted Wednesday
night of this week by the Delaware
State Police officials to start this
afternoon with the beginning of

a thorough analysis of the cause
of automobile mishaps over the
Memorial Day weekend has been
completed.
The study shows that 80 per cent
Of the motor vehicle mishaps over
the Memorial Day weekend were
rear-end collisions, caused by ex-
eessive speed and lack of attention
to cars ahead of the driver respOn-
sible for the accident.
A spokesman for the State PO-
lice said that the heavy volume of
motor vehicle traffic is expected to
begin about o'clock tonight cor
perhaps a little earlier" depend

tOrists to get an early start from

Dry Conditions
Cause Fire Fears

The abnOrmally dry conditions in
the state, with the southeastern
segment reported to be the driest,
are giving the State Forestry De-
partment deep concern from the
standpoint of fire, State Forester
w. s. Taber disclosed Wednesday
of this week.
He said that as early as We'd
nesday of last week he and c. D.
Goodrich, assistant forester, who
is forest fire control chief in the
department, have been weighing
the wildland fire threat occasion
ed by the early and unprecedented
drought conditions that prevail
throughout the state"
Most everyone knows that our
woods and fields are tinder dry and
are being careful about outdoor
fire use" the forester said, "but it
Is the person who is not fire con-
scious, and also careless in out-of-
door use of fire, who is generally
responsible for starting dangerous
fires"
Mr.. Taher pointed out that with
in a period of one week there have
been only six fires that required
the services of state forest wardens
anu patrol forces, but they have
been costly and difficult to control
as well as extremely destructive
within the area covered.
He explained that the major point
under discussion by the forestry Of
ticials is what the public reaction
might be if an outdoor fire ban
proclamation" were requested of
the Governor at a time when "the
existence of extreme wild fire haz-
ara conditions" as the law provid-
ing for issuance of such a procla-
nation provides, was open to vari-
able interpretations
I'm other words, there has not
been provided a good yard stick
for measuring the word extreme
IN manner to meet general pub
lie agreement" Mr.. Taber said in
referring to the law under which
the Governor may be requested to
issue a proclamation prohibiting
outdoor fires, or suspending a hunt
ing season. when conditions are
abnormally dry.
however it was concluded, the
