Soap operas have turned many an
unknown actor into a matinee idol.
When, for example, fans learned
that Bob Mandan was being written
out of MICS From These Roots,
they sent in a mountain of mail. He
was retained, his part of David Allen
was expanded and he was quickly
cast as the playwright husband of
Elizabeth Fraser, played by Ann

his wife; their adopted son, DR.. David
Malone, played by John Connell in
the title role; daughter Jill, portrayed
by Freda Holloway, and the million

WASHED OUT ON RADIO, SOAP OPERAS

~ Television soap operas,
the perpetual emotion machine of
broadcasting, guarantee that
Soap operas, washed up on radio,
continue to dominate daytime tele-
vision, where they have drawn a
flood of tears for 10 years.
The transition from radio to tele
vision created problems not only for
heroes grown old and heroines grown
stout, but for the producers.
In radio, a listeners imagination
could create any set. The confines of

joyed by any people in the entire
history OF civilization has not re-
suited from efforts of a federal
bureaucracy.
Regarding our foreign affairs, Mr.
Gray commented: Il can tell you
with complete sincerity that. al
though a member of the previous
administration. | am pulling as
hard for MIR. Kennedy's success as
is any member of the Democratic
Party. Any Republican who thinks
the abortive Cuban Invasion will
still be an issue by 1864 either does
not know his politics or his his
tory. But whether il be in Laos,
Cuba. Wet Nam. Berlin, or Red
China. this nation has either got to
stop talking tough or be prepared
to back up for tough talk. We have
got to stop drawing a line as we
did in Laos. telling the Communists
they had better not step over il if
they know what's good for them,
and then once they have done so,
shrug our shoulders and say, oh
we'll. il was only a line When our
words are strong and our actions
are timid. then we end up appear
ing aggressive and weak at the
same time, and We are justifiably
damned on both counts"
