HOLLYWOOD.-"Sick and
staggering, television has
never been so vulnerable to
a movie business counter
attack as it is today. Now
is the crucial moment for
Hollywood to rocket back to
its old peak in public favor"
So declared Jerry Valid,
one of the foremost pro-
ducerS and industry leaders,
in a round-the-town battle
call urging his colleagues to
go about at once in a drive
to put their box Office back
where it used to be.
"TV has sunk into its pres
ent diStressful state" said
Valid, because it failed to
avoid one dangerous pitfall
that trapped the movies years
ago-hitchhiking.
Too Much Repetition
ats the same old story Of
too much from the same
mold. One sponsor finds a
successful formula and in
weeks every flip of the dial
gets a program built from
the identical pattern"
AS a result, Valid believes,
viewers have been getting
too many repeat doses OF
what experts" wearing the
Madison avenue ad agency
uniform think is good for
them.
"Television never has
shown great imagination or
courage, he continued. but
its utter lack of both impor-
tant factors today has finally
set it up this summer for the
kayo punch.
Unlike movie business.
TV is financially unable to
strike out into fresh areas
of entertainment. Sponsors
don't dare take that chance.
Their programs are piped
into homes all over the coun-
try. They're afraid of offend
ing any group, no matter
how small. Hence, they must
strike the middle road in APP
peal. The dramas, If you no.
tice, deal with the small
peoples problems. They sue
ceeded once with Marty
but how long do they think
the story can be rehashed?"

Within. however, flames

At that time he was a stu

at a professional stage pro-
duction.

gan soon after he was born
out in the South Georgia
country near Valdosta."
His parents separated dur
ing his childhood. In many
ways. he feels. the pattern of
Prime family behavior re-
markedly resembles that of
the family of Thomas Wolfe.

Further, Prime lived for
two years in Asheville, N. c.,
Wolfe's birthplace.
Il know what tears fam
lilies apart" says Andrew.
There are some things in
both my parents I hate-but
/ love them too"
So far he's a bachelor
But I'm an old romanticist, /

Also like Wolfe, Prime has
travelled plenty. He began
running away from high
school at age Is, attended
about 10 institutions before
finally reaching Miami. Fla,
where his mother had stud
led teaching.
I've lived in practically
every State" he reflects. land

He quit college work after
two years and Joined a stock

There two visiting Broadway
players, Mary WEIGH and

encouragement that spurred
him to head for New York
in 1856.

About the only work I was
At to do in New York was
Office filing" he recalls.
Somehow l managed to study
regularly with Miss WEIGH.
Everything I tried to do
was heavily dramatic" he
says. but she beat it out of

Asked how he emotes.
Prime reflects briefly and
says:
Il guess you would call 1t

nique. without any special
method"
Since winning his Broad

deluged with offers from
people he previously couldn't
reach. But he is in no hurry
to bite off a lot all at once.
Nor is he deliberately steer
ing toward one type of cast
ing.
ANY actor can do any
type" he insists.
There is one coincidence
in his new assignment that
he feels is a lucky omen. At
the Barrymore Theater he is
inheriting from Perkins the

young Tony started his own

chuckled, TV could hardly

when that is what 1t is con-
stantly plugging.
Its up to movies to reflect
the morals and manners OF
our times even if they aren't

Queer advises. We've also

possibly achieve. The day Of

at its weakest, with networks

how can film business best
take advantage Of the situa-
ton?
BY doing exactly as 1t has
in the past couple of years."
Wald declared. Not by max
ing bigger pictures. but better
ones. For something good,
the public will come out. After
all, the best advertisement for
any film is word of mouth.
Splashy. ads. fancy claims and
snappy catchlines don't mean
a thing any more II the
product is bad"
No Subsidy
Emphasizing that motion
pictures aren't beholden to
sponsors, advertisers or any
behind-the-scenes interests
whose motives might be
challenged, Wald asks
bluntly:
do you realize that movies
are the only non-subsidized
form of mass entertainment?
T'V and radio have sponsors
who guide their every move.
Even opera has philanthro-
pist hackers. But the film in
dustry must depend-to quote
the last line from Tennessee
Williams 'Streetcar Named
Desire entirely on the
kindness Of strangers"
Valid believes hopes for q
film industry renaissance
have never been higher than
at the moment. The novelty
of Tv. he insists. has worn
thin. and the sit-at-homes
can now be brought back to
the movie houses-in droves.

While it won't last, as such
