Since the publication of

grown from II to Is. If I'd

NEW YORK, August Z up.
-"Television has a cold
screen" says Janet Blair, And
you have to make it warm"
She has been doing just
that these recent months. AS
a man mot her press AGENT
said the other day. 1T seems
that every time I turn on the
set, there's Janet Blair-and
it's a pretty sight"
At Dallas Fair
The frequency of her ap-
pearance was slightly exag-
gerated. But the description of
her appearance was not. She
is, indeed, beautiful-and also
blonde and brown-eyed. The
fact she has two arms instead
of none has not prevented
NBC-T'V from casting her as
Venus when the Broadway hit
"One Touch of Venus" comes
to the screen as Commute
Extravaganza on August 81.
She was, you might say, built
for the part-especially since
the Venus of the show has two
arms, unlike the Lady de Milo.
Most recently Miss Blair ap-

So what can we do about it?
What we've always done. it
seems to me.
Complain when the show
fails to entertain us and show
our irritation and indifference
by turning to other channels.
Jack Webb's promotion was
accomplished with some style
and thought. 1t was carefully
written and brilliantly pro-
duced. If it failed as a show.
it isn't likely that the Variety
Hour will book another such
program.
If it entertained the millions
who were watching, what's
wrong with that?

ON THE AIR
BY BERNIE HARRISON

Several Sundays ago, Jack
Webb produced a show in his
shotgun style for the NBC
Variety Hour that an offended
and influential New York critic
labeled an hour-long trailer"
for Jacks new movie, pete
Kelly's Blues"
This kind of thing, the critic
angrily implied, has got to go.
I must sheepishly admit that
I liked Jacks show.
What of the Code?
Yet the critic has a point
and a good one. which the net
works and that kindly old Or
ganization that administers a
code that is supposed to cover
abuses of the medium, might
do well to explore.
The subject for the opening
discussion should be something
like this:
When is a commercial a
commercial?"
Using Jacks show as an ex-
ample. you'd have to admit
that he was promoting that
movie of his Coming soon to
the Met: plug) to a fare-thee-
well. 1t was all about how he
made tor how. for example,
any movie might be made.
There were no "trailers" in
the actual senSe-the kind you
see on Ed Sullivan's show
every other Sunday.
Mr.. Webb was badly selling
his movie. though, and with all
the talent and skill at his
command.
But even the New York critic
would have to admit that the
problem is an old one.
Sullivan Sells Bard
Tonight, for example. Ed
Sullivan is going to Stratford,
Conn. to the new Shakespear-
can theater there for scenes

Is this not a trailer for a
commercial enterprise?
