1t doesn't happen very often,
but today is a day when this
critic can't complain that the
television broadcasters don't pay
any attention to him. Maurice
Evans has just been signed to
produce "a series of distinguished
dramatic works" for Hallmark
Hall of Fame" on NBC-TV next
season,
It was shortly after Mr.. Evans
superb television production of
Macbeth" that Hallmark's pub
lie relations agency was on the
phone seeking advice. Do you
think it would be a good idea, the
question went. to let Evans do a
Shaw play?
ST think 1t would be good
idea" was the answer. ito let
Evans do anything he darned
well wants to do on television. -
Already master of his dramatic
craft in the theater, Evans indi-
Gated that he was likely to be a
giant of televisfon drama, too.
He had started with Hamlet
come along later with Richard
H." then turned to Macbeth"
He brought Shakespeare to life
for millions and while he was
doing 1t he kept growing in
awareness of the television medi-
UNI and how it could be used
dramatically.
Hallmark undoubtedly sought
corroborative advice elsewhere
before taking this step, so there
must be a number of others who
think it would be good idea to
let Evans do whatever he wants
to do on television. It is unaccus-
toned but not unpleasant to find
ones self with the majority for
a change.
As the plan stands at present,
Evans will act as host as well as
produce the shows and will star
in two Of them. For the others,
he will assemble outstanding
stage and screen personalities"
The programs will lend some
distinction to MICS assortment
of "spectaculars," too. Each Of
the shows win be 80 minutes long
with the possibility of one two
hour speciaD and all will be in
color, some done in New York,
others in MICS Burbank studios.
They will be seen on Sundays

THE prospect of bringing
these plays to television is an
exciting one" Mr.. Evans says,
and if he's excited that makes it
virtually unanimous. The pros
pect of seeing a series of tele-
vision plays of the quality assoc
lated with Evans is an exciting
one. too.
AL our plays. whether they
are originals or from the class

for their entertainment values.
In addition, of course, we shall
strive for plays of stature which.
we hope, will induce many
Broadway personalities who have
hitherto remained aloof from
television to take the plunge"

His television series. as Mr..
Evans has indicated, will range
from Shakespeare to one or two
original works written especially
for the program. Another a
possibility, at least-is one de-
Scribed as "a major recent
Broadway musical play"
AS backstage associates on the
new TV series, Evans will have
a trio who were with him on his
three previous teleyision produc-
tions. His director will be George
Schaefer. who has directed him
on The stage as we'll as on tele-
vision. Jack Rayel will be the
executive producer for NBC-TV

great improvement of the Ma
TONS position in nuclear arms
during the past four years."
Gen. Fields, 46, became as
sistant to the commanding gen.
eral of the Manhattan Project,
which developed the World War
II atom bomb, late in 1945. He

Jones paid.

STUDY SHOWS WHY
fewer COLLEGE GRADS
TAKE UP TEACHING

How many qualified applicants will
there be to teach in the classrooms of
Americas schools in September,
1855? This was one of the questions
considered by the Research Division
of the National Education Association
in recent study of teacher supply
and demand, according to d. d.
Cooper, executive secretary of the
Montana Education Association. Ex-
perience in recent years has proved
conclusively that the supply will not
be equal to the demand, that compe-
tition will be keen for the fully
trained candidates of good personal
ity and teaching abilities.
The study showed also that the
shortage of qualified teachers is not
an isolated fact; it is part of general
shortage of trained, specialized work
ers now being dramatized by the
critical need for engineers and other
personnel in the chronological fields.
These hard facts stand out: FEWER
graduates are coming from the col
leges today than at any time during
the past five years. 2-The general
demand for college trained personnel
has been stepped up since the end
of World War III. 3-Opportunities
for the college trained woman are
expanding; school teaching has lost
its prior claim to the services of the
educated woman.
A disturbing fact brought out in
the report is that as many as 10000
teachers quit the class
rooms each year. Conditions will have
to be improved to reduce this annual
loss. The yearly supply of qualified,
elementary teachers does
little more than replace those who
quit, and does little to furnish teach
ers to meet the demand of growing
oversize classes, ade-
