i Mr.. Thomas said he didn't need
to be coaxed. Just asked. and It
develops that Mr.. Weitman had
much more important business
on his mind.
What he was doing in Holly
wood was cooking up deal with
Jerry Wald. executive producer
for Columbia Pictures. AS a re-
suit, Columbia will become the
first major studio to undertake
a program of both exploitation
and training of young players
on television.
The Columbia Starlets will be
spotted in roles in such ABC- -TV
dramatic shows as 1.-THE u. S.
Steel Hour" and it's alternate,
"Elgin Hour" Thus they will
be seen in one night by millions
of viewers, something a movie
appearance never could do for
them. While they are becoming
known. the young players also
will have an opportunity to learn
more about the acting trade
than they could from a studio
drama coach or in a series Of
movie bit roles.
What ABC-TV stands to gain
isn't quite clear, unless it might
be good viii which would prompt
Columbia to send around an
established star with a box Office
name now and then. Columbia,
on the other hand, can't lose.
1t will get its pictures and its
players widely advertised.
And if a shapely starlet signed
in a moment of undue enthusi-
asrn just can't act, it will be a
lot cheaper to find it out on
ABCs budget.
