NEW YORK, Oct "a (AP).-What's hap.
pened to the new, original teleplay?
The fall debut season is over, we've seen
an endless series of series and number of
specials, mostly musical variety shows. Where
there has been drama, we have been treated
largely to adaptations from tried and true old
movies, old plays, and old books
You can count on the fingers of one hand
the new, original TV plays, mostly a monopoly
of Playhouse 90.
Why this famine of original dramatic fare
in an exciting young medium which should be
attracting the best talent?
There probably is no one answer. Some
rebelious playwrights have explained they have

deserted television for Broadway or Hollywood
because they were unable to truly express them
selves; because there were too many TV taboos,
too many busy fingers in the pie.
Personally, I am inclined to think that
a more accurate answer comes from Marc Con-
nelly Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of
"Green Pastures" He will play featured role
in Tuesday nights 1.-THE Bells of St. Mary's," an
adaptation from 1945 fllm which will be CHS
special.
'Why am I acting in televisien and not
writing for it?" repeats Connolly. That's easy.
Actors are paid salaries-good salaries. l won't
write for the prices they pay for television
scripts"
In addition, Connolly says, acting is much
easier work than writing

an area TV station?
Very sinple-she got her WTOP-news job
by looking for it.
She didn't start as a page, or an usher, or

WTCPs news boss, Ed Ryan, told her they

that additions would take place the following

OF course, Norma is just beginning Her

Binford said Elisian had paid
off 100000 of $4,000 back
debts which the officials said
were run up largely as the re-
suit of gambling losses.
The other driver who crashed

was cut on the mouth and
bruised. From his hospital bed,

Richard Montgomery High
School faces its second football
season in the Bi-County League
with a new coach, not many
experienced players, too many
understood players and a grow
ing but relatively small student
body.
Roy Lester, returning to high
school coaching after three
years on the University of
Maryland staff, paints a none
too-bright picture. For in
stance. he lists three backs with
varsity experience, but points
out they carried the ball only
46 times totally last year.
Yet it's the backfield which
pleaseS him most. Kenny
Doane. who specialized in kick
off and punt returns in 1858,
will quarterback the split-T Of
Tense. Right Halfback John
Kelly, the Maryland scholastic
pole vault champion, has the
speed and build of an excep-
tional ball carrier. Junior Mike
Curtis also is fast afoot and is
rated a fine prospect at full
back.
Bob Doane, Kenny's brother,
and Watson Prather, a squat
and swift 130-pounder, have
moved up from the junior var
sity to lead the left-halfback
candidates.
Up front, End John Auber
and Tackle Dick Tucker, the
co-captains, and Center Bob
White return as the only reg
ulars from the 1858 team
which posted a 3-6-1 record.
Tucker and Tackle Dave
Roush are the heaviest boys
at about 100 pounds. Tom
MoSSburg. only about 100. is
being switched from tackle to
help Ken Magee at guard. Also,
Clifford Boyd and Richard
Kaelin, both less than 100 but
tough enough, should strength

Il don't see how we can win
many football games" Lester
reckons. "The line needs a lot
of improvement, but I think
our backs will be good enough
to play in this league"
Before going to Maryland,
Lester coached four years at
Allegany High in Cumberland.
He produced winning football
teams and players like Rod

terial is less plentiful at Rich
