If the cameraman would sell his total package for 8500 for the quarter hour, he can make a handsome profit with only one or two days' shooting. This means a cool S150 each and every week for 13 weeks or even 52 weeks, depending upon the salesmanship of the independent producer, the calibre of his filming or the results achieved with the first pilot film. But we must point out that the camerman. ( if he is to do the narration himself I must have the know-how required, the stage presence necessary when he faces the cameras, and the other factors involved in appearing on TV. If this cannot be done, then this cuts down the take since a professional announcer must be paid for the work. However this is merely an indication of what can be done with a minimum of equipment coupled with a good idea. Travel is a universal subject and finds an interest in people of all age groups and all walks of life. That is why Austin Green is so successful, and why the "Open Road" show described in the accompanying column, has such a vast audience. A good idea in Hollywood can still be a good idea in Kansas City, or Xew Orleans. or Minot, North Dakota. It is merely a matter of applying the principles of "California Week-End" to conditions in your own town, and a program such as this can be a perpetual weekly feature all year round. It takes a little imagination planning and a good story sense. Try it and see! HOLLYWOOD PROS • Continued from Page 438 THIS IS COLOR? HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 30 — Tonight CBS Television launched the most ambitious of a series of color shows. This one, called "Shower of Stars." sponsored bv Chrysler included Betty Grable. Harry James and Mario Lanza. But we know nothing about show business. Our interest in this particular color telecast was to determine what progress had been made in technique; how color TV compared to projected Kodachrome and Ansco Color on a screen, and whether the black and white image derived from an original colorcast was better than black and white. We saw the show on a 19-inch color receiver — one of three placed before the audience and spaced about fifteen feet apart. A black and white monitor screen was placed above the color 440
