The picture above shows the bottom view- of a television chassis with some of the components which represent only some of all the parts necessary to con-

..- vert the transmitted signal so that it forms a picture in your receiver.

The average set today has. besides the large picture tube, about 26 receiving tubes. several transformers, a channel selector unit which in itself is a very complicated device and several hun- dred small parts.

Considering that a 2I -inch set has to develop approximately 10.000 volts to feed the big picture tube. anything might happen to it at any time. And no matter what statistics claim, nobody in this world knows the lifespan of your picture tube.

THE PAGE BOY IN THE RIGHT BACKGROUND taking everything so seriously is now Bob Sammon of "Person to Person." This was

taken during auditions for "Hollywood Hotel," back in 1934.

OU'D NEVER think, to look at Bob Sammon now, that he was once an ambitious young page boy for CBS -- earning the magnificent

salary of fifteen dollars a week. A lot has happened to him since

1934 when he donned the elegant uni- form of a page boy. He has one of the best jobs in television and he's earning a heckuva lot more than fifteen bucks per each seven days.

Bob, who is now one of the two Page Four

a

rom Page Boy Bob Sammon has a real rags -to -riches story. Now that success has smiled nicely at him Ire's able to look back fondly at the days gone by and to come to one conclusion - ii pats to be a page boy.

By Jack directors handling the remotes for Edward R. Murrow's "Person to Person" show, was out in our hinter- lands to do a telecast on Humphrey Bogart and wife Lauren Bacall. Caught in a reminiscent mood he went hack to the days preceding his present secure status.

Usher "When I first went to work for

CBS," Bob smiled, "I was an usher. I got a dollar for each show I worked -and since there were only about two programs then that had any audi- ences I pulled down the staggering sum of two dollars a week.

"I later went into the page boy field where I earned fifteen dollar:: a week-and I heartily recommend this job as a fine start for any young person wanting to get into television. When I started as a page boy I was very interested in getting into the technical end of radio. TV was only a word being bandied about. But the

Holland experience I gained in the job was invaluable. It can teach any young person much about the business- and, above all, it can teach him how to get along with people. This was a lesson I'm glad I learned since all I'm doing now in 'Person to Person' is meeting new people all of the time.

"After the page boy stint I went into the engineering department. I say that laughingly because for a long time about all I did was carry batteries about. One of the real highlights of my career then was being on a Coast Guard boat during the Lipton races. I only carried batteries but it was a big thrill. I felt as though I had really arrived.

"I was so excited about my job then that I didn't even care if I were paid or not. Gradually I went into another field-this time handling one microphone on a show. From this I went into special remotes, traveling with bands -like Paul Whiteman and

Dc_ember 3, 1954

Vaughn Monroe. In fact. I think I worked with every band there was at that time:

"My next step was into the studios -and this job was a great challenge. I worked on some of the earlier 'Suspense' shows and did the 'Ro- mance' program too.

"And then came the war. I spent two and a half years in the service. Through no fault of mine, one of my major contributions towards winning the war was playing bugle records at Camp Crowder. I somehow didn't feel this was my ultimate aim so I wound up in the Armed Forces Radio Servies, which was what I had originally asked for.

"When it came time to be dis- charged I had the lowest pumber of points imaginable. I returned to CBS in 1946 and found that TV was suddenly the budding medium. I was as- signed to television and did video and camera V1 ork. As TV grew I was put in charge of the field department- so I was right back where I had been before. I soon became assistant manager of technical operations and in this capacity I had a chance to work with Fred W. Friendly, who is

HUMPHREY BOGART AP- PEARED ON -EDWARD R. MUR -

ROW'S "PERSON TO PERSON" re- cently. Before the show he was fitted with' a wireless mike and antennae which fasten to the trouser leg. (We thought you ought to know what was going on.) Engineering Supervisor Joe Cohen looks on. (CBS photo by Ted Holmes.)

to "Person to Person" now quite busy with Edward R. Murrow in 'See It Now.' Then I met John Aaron and Jesse Zousmer who were putting together 'Person to Person.' After several luncheons with them I found myself on the show.

Person to Person "'Person to Person' has been a sti-

mulating experience. The biggest problem on the show is what looks like the simplest thing-doing a show from someone's house. It's not too easy to show everything in a home, disarrange it, and yet make its owners feel at ease. Then there are the technical problems. When we did Janet Blair we had to use her bed- room for our control booth since she had only a two room apartment. When we did Bogart the telephone company had to put a cable under- ground for a half a mile to connect from the control terminal to the house. And on many occasions we've had to put up a 100 foot tower since most homes do not have enough power to handle a TV show.

"I've never seen any program as complicated as this one. We've done eighty remotes in forty shows and yet we've never lost a remote-or a guest."

Bob has run into some interesting reactions from the guests who have been featured on "Person to Person," but almost all have the same initial comment. When the celebrities walk in their homes and see 'TV equipment all over the place, they in - December 3, i954

variably say, "Where did all these people come from?"

"Yet, everyone we've done has been exceptionally cooperative and courte- ous," Bob went on. "Archbishop Cush- ing of Boston vas especially charming. So was Adlai Stevenson. Then I remember fondly Mindy Carson and Fanny Hurst, but I'm a star -struck guy anyway. We've also done un- knowns. For example, we had a mail man as the subject. He lived in an apartment so small we had to stack the cameras on top of each other. We also did a Red Cap at Grand Cen- tral Station. John Aaron and Jesse Zousmer contacted the personnel department at Grand Central and asked who would be the most repre- sentative Red Cap. We got a lot of mail on that show.

"Perhaps the most complicated show was the one with Rocky Mar- ciano and Ezzard Charles. Murrow was in New York the night of the telecast, Marciano was in one. part of upstate New York and Charles in another part --and yet we had them all on the screen at the same time."

Such is the saga of a page boy who made good. Other young people can make as impressive a climb up the ladder as Bob Sammon. The door is wide open.

"If I had my career to do all over again, I'd do it the same way," Bob commented. "Don't ever pass idly by any page boy. He may be tomorrow's executive."

ART BAKER (right) and the "You Asked For It" program looked all

over the world for a fighting kangaroo, and finally had to train one for two years. Unfortunately the kangaroo died just a few days before the telecast. Another was found, however-in Cali fornia. (ABC-TV photo.)

ON'T MENTION the word "j i n x" to anyone con- nected with "You Asked For It."" And who could blame them!

Because of the unusual and sometimes quite dangerous acts which appear on the ABC-TV show, a great deal of the program's success de- pends upon chance. Any one of a thousand different things could-and has happened-to jinx one of the performers.

Fortunately-, producer Wayne Steffner, sometimes by ingenuity and feverish effort and sometimes by sheer luck. has managed to save the situation in almost every case.

For 'example. there was the time a woman was to wrestle a full-grown. vicious alligator. During the first rehearsal. the monster became an ad- mirer instead of an adversary of the girl. Everytime she touched him, he swooned with sheer delight. A touch- ing love story. but dull TV.

Steffner came up with a solution. When chow time came around, the alligator was deprived of his food. That made the animal hungry even for a woman. Consequently. when Page Six

i

Che "lfau Asked JorJt"

-and how il's conquered.

"action" vas called for, the publicized battle between woman and monster took place as scheduled.

Boxing Kangaroo Ever since "You Asked For It" hit

the TVlanes. thousands of requests had been received to televise a bout between a boxing kangaroo and a human. Steffner's efforts to get such a kangaroo proved futile, so finally he ordered a wild one from Australia and trained it to box for two years. By the time Steffner was ready to present the AustralianMarciano on Tv, the number of requests had .lumped to 35.000.

Then the jinx struck. The kangaroo died suddenly. Because he had prom- ised his viewers the act. Steffner made a frantic. last-minute search. He found what he was looking for. Where? A perfect specimen, virtually in his own backyard in South Gate!

Then there was case of the hammer jinx. A rugged gal suspended herself between two chairs, her feet resting on one. her head on the other. A heavy stone was placed on her stomach. Her male assistant, with sledge hammer in hand. was then scheduled to smash the stone to bits. Needless to say, the little lady re- quired a lot of guts for such a trick.

During rehearsal, everything went fine until the hammer -wielder took his first powerful swing at the stone. The heavy steel head of the hammer tore loose from its handle and ripped through the air like a cannonball. In flight. it damaged an expensive TV camera and headed for emcee Art Baker's noggin. Only a nimble leap by Baker saved him from serious in- jury*.

Cannonball Case Another case in point involved a

real cannonball. It concerned the appearance of "Cannonball" Richards. a man who made his living by per- mitting cannonballs to be fired point- blank at his bombproof belly. Corn

plications ensued. First, Richards missed rehearsal and finally showed up just a few hours before air time: Richards explained that his artillery expert. the only person who knew how much powder could be used in the cannon without killing him, had left town.

Once again, stalwart Steffner de- fied the jinx. He conducted an ex- perimental blast to see exactly how much powder would be necessary. Richards stood to one side. The order of "Fire!" was followed by an ear- splitting explosion which rocked the big ABC-TV sound stage and filled the air with a thick pall of smoke. The cannonball smashed through one wall and ricocheted off another before resting on the floor. The cannon: meanwhile, recoiled backward, shat- tered a heavy door and came to rest in an alley beyond. A quick and un- expected remodeling job for the ABC- TV studios!

Richards himself trembled at the thought of what would ha'e happened to him had he been a part of the "experiment." Steffner was willing to cancel the whole act, but troupe] Richards objected. On the stage itself, even though a tiny cnarge vas used. the cannonball struck Richards at a spot which caused him consider- able pain, but which did not prove too serious.

There are countless other cases when the ABC-TV show had to over- come a jinx-the strongman who let two tons of sand hang from his feet, and ended up with a cramp; the cobra who was supposed to wiggle to the music of a snake -charmer's flute. but who died one clay before the show; and "Speedy" Bahbs who beat a two-year jinx and finally performed his famous "Cycletron" trick.

Producer Steffner will do almost anything to gel interesting and spectacular acts for "You Asked For It." But a jinx is one thing he will never ask for.

In & Out of Focus General Comment I

Around TV Row Despite rumors in the trade, "Life

With Father" will not be dropped. "Father" is viewed in the East at an unsuitable hour, 10:00 p.m., and CBS is seeking a new time slot for the show. . Since Florence Halop, "Mama Branson" on the "Meet Millie" show, has publicized her real age, twenty-nine, she has been swamped with motion picture and telefilm offers. Florence does a convincing job of acting forty-eight on "Millie."

Jack Benny does a Christmas show for the Naval Recruiting Depot in San Diégo. . . . Harriet Nelson's two and four -year -old nieces make their video debut or. Ozzie and Harriet's Christ- mas stanza.

Nina Bara fans can catch their favorite in a new KABC-TV series, "Familiar Faces," on Fridays at ten pp m. . "Lux Video Theatre" has lined up four motion picture proper- ties for December; "Ladies In Retire- ment," "Double Indemnity," "Septem- ber Affair," and "The Chase."

"My Favorite Husband" gets two writers, Nate Monaster and Arthur Alsberg.... "Alias Jimmy Valentine" becomes a TV series early in January, when production starts at Gross- Krasne studios. Dave Garroway, in cooperation with the Loyal Order of the Moose, has launched a toy drive on his "Today" telecast.

Mark Stevens, star of the "Big Town" series, has packaged his origi- nal screenplay, "Nicky Alusso," in - which he will both star and direct.

Ed Sullivan has postponed the "Jack Warner Story" until early next spring.... Ben Blue plans to do "Ben Blue's Pantomime Theatre" as a half- hour telefilm series.... Wonder what ever happened to the Korla Pandit series?

Bob Hope flies back to the states to emcee the Overseas Press Club festiv- ities on December 11. . Gordon MacRae's eleven -year -old daughter, Meredith, made her video debut on the "Comedy Hour's" November 28 show.

'Harry Owens has chalked up 200 telecasts on KNXT. . Leontyne Price has been set to sing the title role in Puccini's "Tosca" on NBC, January 23.... Martin and Lewis are building up audience curiosity for their December 19 show by announcing their mystery guest as Phil Abrams. The .sixty-four dollar question has become who is Phil Abrams?

Studios with several telefilms under production find that they have so much foliage about that it's become necessary to construct green houses. ... Bill Cullen quipped: "The trouble

Dinah Shore Tuesday, Thursday, 7:30 p. m. NBC-FUCA, Channel 4

When there's something special to celebrate, Dinah Shore is the girl to reckon with.' Her program last Tues- day, November 23, commemorated General Motors' fiftieth millionth car and It was a program worthy of the occasion.

Joining Dinah in the celebration were Patrice Munsel, Kitty Kallen, Peggy Lee and George Gobel. Format of the show pegged the early cars, circa 1906, with the songs and cos- tumes of that era. When it comes to singing, Dinah and her charming trio - of singing guests have no peers. In

1 appearance, as well as in song, the vocal lovelies complemented one an -9 other. They were spotted in both solo and quartet numbers. If Dinah. Patrice, Peggy and Kitty ever teamed up, other singing -sister acts would

,scarcely receive recognition. Dinah and her arranger, Ticker

Freeman. did a great deal of research to get appropriate tunes. High spot of the show was the quartet's medley of songs from 'the thirties. Solo -wise, Patrice Idunsel scored in the laughing song from "Fledermaus," Kitty Kallen in "They Didn't Believe Me," Peggy Lee in "I May Be Wrong But I Think You're Wonderful," and Dinah in "Get Out and Get Under."

George Gobel's touches of humor interspersed between songs were won derful. His guitar anecdote was typ- ical Gobel-ism. The build-up for the delightful, off -beat comic was his participation in the singing of "Hey There" with the quartet. And "Hey There" is about as much as he got to sing.

The only weak spot in the show was the cut -in from Flint, Michigan, with John Cameron Swayze interviewing G. M. bigwigs and reporting three or four brief headlines. Granted, Sway- ze's sponsor "gave" Dinah his usual fifteen minutes, but it wasn't necessary to try to squeeze a few unrelated headlines into the show. It made it necessary to cut the program's clos- ing dance.

Aside from this disconcerting spot, the Dinah Shore -50 Millionth Car Sa- lute Show was tops. On the credit side, Producer -director Bob Banner, writer Hal Kantor (Gobel's head writer), musical director Harry Zimmer- man and technical director Joe Conn can all take bows for a show well

'done. M.R. Page Seven

DECEMBER 3, 1954 TV -RADIO LIFE

ZGris Week inn/ "Life With Elizabeth"

Monday, 7:30 p.m. KTTV, Channel 11

Checked in to see what's been hap- pening to "Elizabeth" lately and found that she and husband ;Alvin" are getting along very nicely. Our couple, of course, are Betty White and Del Moore, whose weekly enactment of three skits makes for an amusing and pleasantstialf-hour telecast. The "Elizabeth" series has certainly im- proved with the passage of time. The performers have more polish and the material is far better than it used to be a few years ago when the show debuted "live" on another channel.

On a recent program, Betty's lit- eral 'interpretation of Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes instigated an argu- ment between Del and herself. The sharper Betty's criticisms grew, the stronger Del's objections became. It was played strictly for laughs and very amusingly done. This skit was the high spot of the program. The other two sketches concerned the tear- ful parting. of newlyweds because of a business trip and the happy vaca- tioners who were "roughing" it in the mountains.

"Life With Elizabeth" is played broadly but there is a little of "Eliz- abeth" and enough of "Alvin" in most young ';ouples for self -identification. Undountedly, that is the keynote of its success. Duke Goldstone directs and George Tibbles is writer -produce er. M.R.

Off Lens 1 Personalities 1

Ed Reimers Some day an astute producer is go-

ing to discover tall, blond, handsome Ed Reimers and take him out of his announcing narrating type - casting rut by finding -a suitable role for the talented actor.

Ed is one of the smoothest and friendliest announcers on the- video - lanes. He's been in this broadcasting business for more than twenty years and does such a perfect announcing job that it's become a handicap. Movie makers are usually prone to cast him as an amiable announcer.

Ed .isn't exactly complaining about his lot-he announces "This Is Your Music" on KTTV; he hosts the daily "Movieland Matinee" on Channel 11; handles commercials on "Willy, the Wolf," "The Colgate Comedy Hour" and many, other shows-but hé certainly could -go for a change of pace.

"By way of illustration," Ed says, "I'm cast as an off -camera narrator in my current picture, 'Kentucky Ri- fle.' You see what I mean?"

Yes, 'we do, Ed. It looks as if TV has type -cast you.' But take cheer! It's a growing and ever-changing in dustry.' ' Page Eight

dar, Erie Jospire the Par ,.... Nina Osherhoff, San Bernardino.

I agree with "anonymous" about Lawrence Welk. I think his program is cruddy. I could stand it only once and now on Friday nights I watch Red Buttons and Topper; at least they are entertaining.

Welk may be a fine gentleman, but he is no musician; no orchestra leader has to go 1-2-3 to his men in order for them to start. Most of them know when to start without that. It is about time somebody criticized Welk because he sure is not such a much.

G. B. Ruiz, Carlsbad We have been avid listeners of the

Lawrence Welk program since he went on TV and we are wondering why we éan not hear Garth Andrews? What did Welk do with him? His duets with Roberta Linn and then with Alice Lon were really a treat. We wish that Roberta would have him on her program again. We like Alice and Dale, but miss Garth. The program is flat without him.

Garth Andrews is now playing with the ,Pete Pontrelli orchestra.

E. B. Henry, Los Angeles. Would like to tell you how I, and

I am sure thousands of other folks, enjoy the program on Channel 4 at 9:30 p.m. on Fridays.

This, in my opinion, is the epitome of real comedy and the actors who' 'were chosen for the parts are superb. Slapstick comedy is entertaining once in awhile, but soon gets to be old hat. A comedy program whose comedian uses biting sarcasm, making his emcee and the participants on the program ill at ease, is not my idea of good comedy. Neither is a comedian who can do nothing but wisecrack and then wait for the laughs to fol- low.

"Dear Phoebe" is wonderful comedy that leaves no after-effects on a person's mind but real wit which neither tries to be funny with such an effort, nor trying to make a bid for a person's approval. -

Peter Lawford could not be topped in his part. The grumpy editor of the paper, Marcia Henderson as the sports writer, and Humphrey the copy -boy are tops, also.

Who said the English are slow -wit-. ted and have no sense of humor? A good many of them have it but they appreciate more the sparkling, swift - moving kind this cast puts on.

Hope that this program will be on the air for a long time. They must hák a some extra -good writers of their scripts.

Cora May Oatman, 9331 West 50th Place, Los Angeles. I would like to call attention to a

beautiful musical program, especially for those that like violin music. It's the Florian ZaBach Show, on Channel 13. He is an exceptionally fine player-classical and lighter music. He has a charming personality

Ensconced upon your little chair Little moustache-little hair Eyebrows lift and eye balls roll TOP MAN ON THAT TOTEM POLE You have your wit honed to an edge And use it as a wily wedge To topple o'er some long wind jammer Sometimes you should use a hammer When someone says the secret word They take the dough-give you the

bird The gifting tho is in their hat For you've made bigger birds than

that A funny thing about that bird A thing that we've just lately heard The bird descends but then reneges So it's up to you to lay the eggs We always watch you on tee vee We laugh, we scream, we howl with -

glee For you're the spark plug and the

sparks A Happy Today Groucho Marx.

C. B. LeBeque, Los Angeles. CBS "Matinee" at 3:45 p.m. should

omit the audienceparticipation seg- ment. The prizes are so piffling they shame this supposedly important program . such items as 50 -cent cuff links, dime -store beads, and a hair styling that demands $2.00 from'contestants to complete its work. These niggardly prizes attract only dull contestants; therefore the program suf- fers a boring interlude while these inept, tongue-tied people are put through their paces. Johnny Jacobs is a competent, ingratiating M.C., but the guy in charge of prizes should have an M (as in Miser) pinned on him. A program in the give-away class should give away something. Mrs. Alma Sweetman, West Los Angeles.

I am very Interested in TV -RADIO LIFE and the letters each week, so will tell you some of my favorites which do not seem to have top rat- ings. "Life with Father," "Meet Mil- lie," "Private Secretary," and "Your - Hit Parade." I do not care for wrestling, boxing, murder stories but there are lots of people who do like them. I would like to see a write-up of Cris- well. He is very good. Do you think Tex Williams and Ted Mack will be on TV again? Betty Henze, Santa Monica

- I think Eddie Cletro has a heart as big as his smile for he is nice to every- body wherever he may play and 'on "Western Varieties" he is the nicest person I have met. Mrs. Lena Poteet, Pasadena.

I want to say a good word for three very, wonderful new shows. They are "The George Gobel Show," "It's a Great Life, and "Father Knows Best.? In our estimation they are tops. `

RADIO

BY EVELYN BIGSBY

SPENT LAST MONDAY AFTERNOON on the Mark VII TV set and enjoyed an intermittent but thoroughly pleasant chat with Jack Webb, who Is working harder than ever (if that be possible!). The "Sergeant" isn't living in either of his elaborate houses In The Valley or Coldwater. He is renting near the Disney lot. Plans to stay close to the studio in the future.

THE CAST WAS FILMING "The Big Bible" teleshow and there were several new faces in front of the cameras. Actually, "Dragnet" is on a "fresh face" search. About 150 actors and actresses have been brought in for auditions in the past two or three weeks.

BEN ALEXANDER SAID re-routing of traffic off Cahuenga onto the Hollywood Freeway hadn't hurt his Dream House Motel, but it has af- fected his gas station which used to stay open all night but now closes at midnight.

INCIDENTALLY, JACK WEBB is very frank in his admiration of Dorothy Towne and I feel that she'll soon be Mrs. W. But I also think that Jack hasn't popped The Question yet.

LARRY FINLEY HAS FINALLY discovered that his friends were right. You can't work like a demon twenty- eight hours a day. Now he's had to take time out for hospitalization.. Mrs. Art Baker's surgery was to al- leviate a Condition brought about by a bad auto accident years ago when her collarbone was crushed.. . Sup- pose George Burns and Gracie Allen are pretty thrilled over daughter Sandra's baby. I hereby nominate Gracie for the cutest granny of 1954.

Reason we're not hearing much from Meredith Willson these days: he's holed up, preparing a musical comedy (about Iowa) for Broadway next year. ... At the KLAC Thanks- giving party, which was really A Big Thing in the Crystal Room, Jim Ameche confided that he and his family just love California, even though It was a wrench to tear away from comfortable ole Chicago after all those years. . . . When the Sylvania Awards are passed out this week, there'll be one for a local personality who has done quite a bit of trail blazing this year and who certainly deserves the honor. (We've already done a story on this personality, so think hard!)

HAVE HEARD SEVERAL GOOD COMMENTS about the Barrymore tribute on the "Hallmark" radio show which Lionel Barrymore had hosted for the past two years. With such personalities as Bing Crosby and Gene Fowler participating, the broad- cast had a lustrous rather than lugu- brious touch (the way "he" would like it), was informative and intimate without being disrespectful. Extreme- ly well done.

THEY'VE SOLD THE OLD LUCY- DESI telefilms for second run and will start beaming them early next year. This brings up the point: What is saturation? How long can the stars

who are on first run AND second run expect their TV life to last? Is the thinking, "A short life and a merry one?" Jack Webb swears that when he finishes his current ninety-five "Dragnets" "that's it!" He thinks he's squeezed every drop of possibility out of the property and personally yearns to tackle something new.

FRESHEST TV IDEA LAST WEEK came from NBC, where program veep Frederic Wile disclosed plans for filming a program in Me:iico City which will later be telecast on "Comedy Hour." Schedule calls for Gordon MacRae to emcee the presentation which is to include native talent and possibly American motion picture stars on location south of the border. To TV -Radio Life, Wile remarked, "TV can do a great deal of good by broadening people's horizons. One way is to expose viewers to other kinds of people. TV should get out of its four -walled studios."

BUZZED OUT TO DINAH SHORE'S home to chit-chat and have coffee just before her delightful General Motors Anniversary Show. Have said it before, but will reiterate: Dinah's one career girl whose husband and children come first. Don't ever under- estimate Dinah. She's sharp as a tack, but practical and such a warm personality! Talking about her adored Missy, she was all -mother as she ex- claimed, "Disneyland is a wonderful TV show! It's the greatest bargaining factor a mother ever had! Better than Christmas or Santa Claus!"
