Irish Lad Purse Tops
Gard al Bowie on
81. Patrick S Day
BY Joseph B. Kelly

St. Patrick's Day is being sa-.
luted properly today at Bowie
with the running of the $4,000
Irish Lad Purse, an allowance
event at seven furlongs for 81
year-olds. 1t drew nine we'll
matched starters and is the sew
enth race on the program.
{ Experimenting the feature is
the sixth, the $500 Shamrock
Purse, a six-furlong sprint for
$4,000 to $1,000 chalmers. Fans
also will note that there are two
races over a mile on the pro-
gram today.
To honor the wearers Of the
shamrock, Howard Pierce. Bow
les general manager, announced
that green would be the color
of the day with especially print
ed programs and other decora-
tons.
Pavion Likely Choice
Favoritism in the feature ap-
parently lies among r. N. Web
ster's Pavion, w. P. Griffiths'
Joycey G. and Mrs. Thomas
HolloWay's Stan Sag.
Pavion boasts an enviable
record compiled in Florida, hav-
ing finished third for $4,000 in
his last race at Hialeah. Joycey
G.. ran seventh in the Miss Mary
land Stakes on opening day at
80 to !. 1t was an excellent race
as she was beaten but six lengths
for all the money.
Stan Sag, making his seasonal
debut Saturday, won more easily
than any other horse at the
meeting and, although meeting
tougher opposition, could easily
capture this purse.
The balance of the field con-
sists of Fajardo, Hebrides, Sonny
Mars, Straga, Sind, Royal Morse.

Hartack Beats Objections

claims.
In the second race Ray Mix

half-mile pole. The stewards
rejected the claim.
In the fourth race, Hartack
won again, this time with Dover

who finished fourth aboard Ed

was fouled. After a long delibera-
ton, the result was permitted
to stand.
Even well known jinxes do not
stop Hartack. Dover Dam was
his 18th winner of the meeting,
and he had to squeeze in by a
nose before surviving the foul
claim. Willie added No. IA with

Broadway and Theoter TV
Joined in Happy WedIock
On the Air
BY HARRY MACARTHUR

The long-expected wedding of
Broadway and the new cleo
tronic show business took place
last night and was celebrated
here by a properly festive gath
ering of friends and relatives.
The union, of course. was that
of the theater and closed circuit
television. The services were
performed in the Adelphi Thea
ter in New York and seen in an
additional 80 motion-p picture
houses across the country, in
GLIDING the Capitol here.
The 1855 ANITA Album" per-
formed as a benefit for both the
American National Theater and
Academy and CARE (Coopera-
tive for American Remittances
to Everywhere), was a whopper
of show. The Capitol Theater
audience first had a concert by
William Warfield and the How
ard University Choir, then the
collection of items that might be
called the best of Broadway if
somebody in TV had not already
used the title.
Since this could have been
seen by 10000 persons though
it probably wasn't, a lot of peo-
pie were discovering for the first
time what an ANITA Album" is.
Man, dig that crazy Toast of
the Town." that's what it is.
When you have truly all-star
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-29

cast, performing topnotch seq
ments of past and present
Broadway hits, you have a lavish
entertainment.
The fruit of this union of
Broadway and closed circuit tele-
vision (this is the fast electronic
age) probably was more readily
recognized by televiewers on a
night out than by theatergoers.
1t was televised stage show, but
it had some of those familiar
slips known to all who watch
electronic images on small home
screens.
Theater devotees who have
given scant attention to tele-
vision, for instance, must have
been puzzled by those shadows
which every TV veteran knew as
a sign of an Grant technician
on the microphone boom. A
sound feedback on the picture
signal occasionally could be de-
tected, too, giving singer a
fascinating. possibly effective, but
unattended shimmy.
The eyeballs also were as
Saulted on occasion because Of
lack of balance between cameras,
the picture from one being bright
and from the next dark.
These things are cited merely
as symptoms of lack, of expe-
rience with this particular brand
of show business. Some day you
won't know it from a movie when
it is thrown on the theater screen
from the T'V protector. In fact.
/ it may well be a movie.
The vagaries of the theater
telecast Cor whatever you call it
when it it isn't really a telecast
but is kept within theater
boundS) were the more noticeable,
of course, in juxtaposition with
the stage prologue. There wasn't
a microphone shadow in evidence
when Mr.. Warf1eld was singing,
for instance, because there wasn't
a microphone within range.
He just stood up there on the
Capitol stage and filled the
theater with that big and Won
derfully melodious voice. He
ranged from Handel to "Old
Man River" and it all was fine.

This was undoubtedly the big

missed it. keep it in mind in case
he does it again next year. If he
does, 1t will be even more Of a
success If he can figure some
