ON THE AIR
BY BERNIE HARRISON

This is a dazzling week for
television, if one overlooks the
pap and circumstance sur
rounding next Saturdays
Emmy awards, and it bril-
liantly begins this afternoon
with the showing of Laurence
Olivier's heralded Richard
III"
1t will run from 2::30 to
$50 (WRC-4, which makes
1t the longest single program
ever shown on the screen.
In time. of course.
(There are some 5-minute
shows that seem endless.)
Acclaimed by Critics
AS stated before. the i'm
portance of the showing of this
particular movie is that it
represents the first time that
a first-rate production. al
ready acclaimed as a superb
effort. has been shown on TV
in advance of its bookings in
theaters.
A few hours after the TV
showing, Richard III" will
open in New York.
And, come Tuesday, 1t will
be premiered at the Playhouse
here.
How will the free TV show
ing affect it's movie boxoffice?
Some movie distributors are
wringing their hands in an
guish at the thought. If
they're right, and Richard
III. draws poorly in theaters,
it'll be a frigid day in Key
West before TV audiences see
a major film premiere.
Time Will Tell
The answer, to be sure, will
not be Immediately forthcom-
ing. The crosses will have to
be totaled in a dozen cities and
compared and evaluated.
If it does well, on the other
hand, Richard will open the
door-to borrow a line from

decision is also up to NBC
and the sponsors, he hopes
that George will be able to
cut down the number of shows
next season.
O'Malley, who shares owner
ship in Gomalco Enterprises
with George, also wants to film
more of the shows.
AS for Georges financial
being, O'Malley remarked that
it is shaping up nicely. Be-
sides producing the TV show,
Gomalco participates in film
profits and has invested heav-
lily in the Flamingo Motor
Hotel chain and in securities,
as we'll as an extensive insur-
ance plan for George.
IF everything goes WELL"
O'MaIley remarked, George
should be a wealthy man in
five years"
From all appearances, sue
cess hasn't spoiled Gobel, but
has it changed him? His
singer. Peggy King, says no,
not at all. Kanter says yes,
that he is less painfully shy in
meeting strangers and giving
interviews.

LOUISVILLE, May 4.-For.
getting politics for the big week
end, the tickle weather and the
real or fancied advantages and
disadvantages which go with the
draw for post positions in the
Kentucky Derby were the chief
conversational pieces in Derby
town today on the eve of the

briefly. To start with, the IA

a rapid beginner - something
that Needles definitely is not.

Lemon, Snyder
And ChakaIes
Buoy Senator'S
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Bob Chakales, Jim Lemon and
Jerry Snyder. who have been
shuffled more frequently than
a deck of cards in q gambling
house during their spotted base
ball careers, today are expe-
riencing the rare excitement of
being saviors Of the Senators.
The club was expected to take
its usual plunge into the second
division by this time, but that
trio has figured prominently in
lifting the Senators into
esteemed company and holding
them there.
All have staked the Senators
to surprisingly slick perform
anceS. There was little reason
to hope for heroics from any oil
them-based on discouragine
past performance charts-but
thus far they've made the Sen
ators formidable to a point
where they're mingling with the
mighty.
Win on Lemons Homer
Chakales, who allowed the
White Sox only three hits in
725 innings last night, achieved
his second win of the week, IA
when the willowy Lemon doomed
one Of Billy Pierce's pitches fol-
an eye-popping homer high into
the left-f1eld stands with two
aboard in the seventh inning
And Snyder, who contributed
two of the Senator's eight hits
was a defensive standout all
night.
Thus Chakales already has
matched his entire win produc-
ton Of last season. 1t could be
lightning striking twice, but he
doesn't think so. He has pitched
Is innings and Is have been
scoreless, with only a three-run
splurge by Baltimore marring
his record.
ChakaleS spent some Of Sun
day afternoon battling the ORR
oles. He threw five and a third
scoreless innings at them, al
lowing one hit, and emerged the
winner. He has pitched IA sue
