This Piece of Peace

the networks. It may not be
that elemental. In order to
prove they can make better
entertainment, especially the
filmed variety at which they
are older hands, the Hollywood
producers may have to do bet
ter than their old BIS. Say, as
does the Office wit, BIZ films
for television. This may be
more than just a bright saying.
If it is a bright saying.
AS for the other Develop
ment, Hollywood's discovery
of television as a source of
material. nothing could be
more flattering.
Who would have thought
two years ago. for instance,
that Jack Webb's weekly
"Dragnet" could be converted
into a movie-not even Cine
maScope in size-that was
worth its weight in u--m?
Or that a little old innocent
slice of life such as Paddy
Chayefsky's Marty" could
make monkeys of Hollywood's
great big six-writer scripts in
comparative popularity?
A Place for Both
Merciful heavens, which is
not a precise quote. this sort
of thing could only imply that
television is a mere sample
case, not a burly competitor.
What it does prove, Of
course. is something much
simpler that a movie is one
thing and a television produc-
ton another and that there
can be a market for both. A
market big enough to stun
stockholders in both fields If
and when they could abandon
competition and suspicion in
favor of Cooperation.
There should be endlesSly
dramatic incidental effects Of
the new harmony. One Of
these is that television writer's
who have thought of them
selves as scandalously UNDER
paid will have a new. shining
yardstick by which to measure
their artistic or creative worth.
Another. affecting an enor-
mously larger group, the
moviegoers. is that the best Of
television drama has had q
quality Of simple, earthly real
ism that has as often been one
of the rarer ingredients Of
movies. Hollywood movies. not
SO much those of Europe whose
popularity already has done
much to convert the domestic
industry.
In the not too distant fu-
ture, then, it Is not impos-
sible that the peace will bring
two boons in the form Of better
movies and television.

The new harmony is not all
inclusive. There are dissident
elements, especially on the
movies side. Exhibitors are
wondering just where they
will finish in a setup under
which film production for
for theaters is curtailed while
the Hollywood studios go into
making pictures for video.
And even movie fans, as
attested by letters to the
editors everywhere, are put out
that where they once had a
choice of more than a dozen
neighborhood theater attrac-
tions, they are down to as few
as one or two.
These are logical, and rea-
sonable. reservations as to
where the new congeniality
will lead. The producing
groups in Hollywood do not
deny this. But. like Scarlett
O'Hara, they feel that a few
vexatious matters be left for
tomorrow which might other
wise be a dull day.
A multitude of figures and
factors have Influenced the
new relationship. For one, and
possibly the most significant
when all results are in, Walt
Disney.

free -conformist, decided
last autumn to commingle with

It was Saturday night in the
film capital. Here. like every
where else, people like fun,
frolic and sociable relaxation.
But Joan Crawford had Just
broken a date with her best
fellow, a tan. blond young man
named Christopher. who has
a cowlick, braces on his teeth
and is IL years old.
Chris, second of JoaI1ss four
adopted children, was home
from military school on a
weeks leave. It wasn't ex-
actly a vacation, because it
included a day in the hospital
for removal Of four perfectly
good molars to make room for
the wisdom teeth coming up.
In Hollywood, even dental
appointments revolve around
filming schedules, and Chris
were no exceptions. Joan
wanted to be with him and
had signed him into the hos
pital during the week between
winding up Female on the
Beach" for Universal-Inter-
national and starting Queen
Bee" at Columbia.
But before Chris went to
the hospital, they'd planned
Saturday. 1t was to be special.
Dinner-on his orders-was to
be roast lamb and ice cream.
Saturday night he was going
to the movies - alone with
mother. OF course, she was
going to see a visiting reporter
from New York in the after
noon, but that wouldn't take
long.
But So 1t Goes
Then it happened. U-I
summoned Joan for retakes
and an additional scene. All
were night shots, and they'd
have to be done Saturday
night.
Joan. who has been a film
star for ~ years. has learned
to accept philosophically that
a picture schedule can inter-
rupt ones private life. This
was not accepted as stoically
by three small Crawfords,
however. There were some
tears from the dark-haired,
dark-eyed twins, Cathy and
Cindy, g. Chris, manly as o
West Pointer, had a suspici-
ously shaky lower lip.
Then Miss Crawford adroit-
ly converted the shambles
into a sort Of family picnic.

porter in her plans.

New German
Catechis1n
Ready In Fall

FREIBURG, Germany - A new
German catechism ~ q dramatic
departure from the past-will be
introduced in all German dioceses
this fall.
Published by the Herder Publish
ing Company here, it is the result
of intense work by catechetical ex-
perts for 20 years. It discards the
question-and-answer formula used
before.
The new formal resembling the
one adopted for the 1941 American
catechism is based on biblical and
liturgicaI texts which incorporate
the principal truths of the Faith,
Formerly the German Catholic
children had to learn the answers
to 286 questions. Now Christian
doctrine is presented to them in
a readable form adapted to mod
ern needs.
The new catechism was adopted
by the Fulda conference of the
German hierarchy last year.
The new catechism has 288 pag-
es of text and 1856 illustrations. It
consists of four parts: "God and
our Salvation" "The Church and
the Sacraments," ''The Command
ments" and Eternal Life"
This fall q commentary for use
with the new catechism will be
available for priests and teachers.
