Saturday at the Chase EVENING PROGRAMS TELEVISION A certain red-haired (and proud of it) radio singer now looks the other way whenever she sees writer Joe Gates. Producing his first television program for Bob Fuchs, Look Upon A Star, Joe tele-tested the singer for a guest spot. Her voice was beautiful and everything would have been fine, if her hair hadn't looked white on the video screen. Joe and the singer were much puzzled — until one of the tele-specialists connected with the job revealed that over television certain red dyes photographed dead white. For the past year and a half, Sammy Kaye's tongue has been hanging out — figuratively, of course — for a certain make and model of television set for his apartment. Delays were as interminable as delays are, these days. But finally, to a breathless Kaye, it arrived. And now Sammy's landlord, for reasons only a landlord would understand, won't permit him to install it. It's things like that that drive tenants to other apartments, when there are other apartments. Gene Autry has his experienced eye on television, they say. He's reportedly interested in a new organization that will prepare comic strips and syndicated news features for use on television. Down in Texas, the do-things-in-a-large-way state, an interesting new hotel is going up. FCC permission has been given to the two millionaires who are constructing it to install a new television studio at the top of its 47 stories. And every room in the hotel will feature a built-in video set. 6:00 6:15 6:30 6:45 Rhapsody of the Rockies NBC Symphony Sports Parade Cecil Brown Vagabonds' Quartet Betty Russell Harry Wismer Jack Beall Bill Shadell Word From the Country Saturday Sports Review Larry Lesueur 7:00 7:15 7:30 7:45 Curtain Time Hawaii Calls Newscope Twin Views of the News Quisdom Class Challenge of the Yukon Hawk Larabee Romance 8:30 8:15 8:30 8:45 Life of Riley Truth or Consequences Twenty Questions Harlem Hospitality Club Ross Dolan Detective Famous Jury Trials First Nighter Leave It to Bill 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:45 Your Hit Parade Judy Canova Show Stop Me If You Have Heard This Better Half Gangbusters Murder and Mr. Malone Joan Davis Show Vaughn Monroe 10:00 10:15 10:30 Kay Kyser Grand Ole Opry Theater of the Air Professor Quiz Hayloft Hoedown Saturday Night Serenade Abe Burrows Hollywood film producer Jerry Fairbanks has begun mass production of films written, directed, acted and photographed especially for television. It's an improvement all along the line, over live shows, says Fairbanks; saves time, saves money, and is the only way of insuring a really professional job of dramatic programming. Three years of research have gone into the preparation of this technique. Ordinary movie film and methods, of course, are not scaled to television screen New lighting techniques have been developed by Fairbank's studio, and all the Hollywood trade tricks — process shots, animation, optical sleight-ofhand, slowed or accelerated motion — impossible to use in transmitting a live show on a television screen, can be adapted when the show is being filmed for transmission. Fairbanks is looking toward the day when all of television's dramas, mysteries, westerns will be presented on film. Before the Fairbanks cameras now is the initial series, a mystery drama with a group of well-known Hollywood actors starred — Anne Gwynne, John Howard, Mary Beth Hughes, Donald MacBride, Dewey Robinson and Lou Lubin. %04t (3o4neU —vocalist with Sammy Kayo's Orchestra, heatd over ABC on Simday Serenade and So Yo« Want to Lead a Band.

Remedying this, there has been put on the market a magnifying lens which can be used in conjunction with a table-model tele-set to enlarge its pictures. When used with a 10-inch screen, it appears, the picture can be magnified to a width of almost 20 inches. Most small set owners will call this an improvement. « « « National Broadcasting's great new Hollywood television outlet, originally planned to start operations at the end of 1947, probably will not be under way until the middle of 1948 — July, they say at NBC. 61
