And here is what we saw. Previous to the colorcast, a color scale was projected on all the screens, and each set was attended by an anxious engineer who fiddled with the controls intermittently. Set "A" directly opposite us, produced a very good image and the color was quite true, although somewhat on the cold side. Set "B" to our left, was warm in tone, quite different than Set ''A". For example: the deep blue indigo on the color scale of Set "A", was a deep green on Set "B". The white panel of the color scale on Set "A" was almost pure white with faint traces of red, while the same panel on Set "B" was a sickly green. All three screens produced a variety of tones for each panel and not one matched the other, on any set. The black and white monitor image was interesting because the long scale of pure white to deep black was better than anything we have ever seen on conventional television. But when Back focus of most production numbers went out of focus on color image — remained sharp on black and white. ( CBS Color TV) we saw the kinescope of the show on our own set three hours later, the image was inferior to good b&w television. This was so because of the kinescope .and the fact that this process of reproducing a show for later showing will always deteriorate the image. But as a rule we found that black and white shows derived from color shows were much superior to ordinary non-color T\ . Reason for this, of course, is the low contrast inherent in color, which reduces again the contrast of TV even more, so that the final picture approaches a superb rendition of the original. But how does the color picture look? Does anyone remember the bleeding, mushy Dufaycolor of 1935? Well, the CBS color TV is inferior to this old process and any comparison with projected Kodachrome, Ansco Color, or Technicolor is sheer impertinence. In fact, it is pretty bad. Besides, something happened to the back focus CLASSIFIED Continued MISCELLANEOUS • WE HAVE what you want! Send 10c for exclusive illustrated brochure.

We noticed that when a dance routine appeared, the back row was slightly out of focus on the screen, yet remaining perfectly sharp on the black and white monitor above. Then there was the matter of color design of the various back-drops and sets. \\hile this is no problem in black and white, color backgrounds must be meticulously planned by a competent artist who understands color harmony. We regret to say that in our opinion. CBS fell down badly in this department. Hollywood film studios have mastered the problem, but CBS television has not. W hen Lanza sang, his voice seemed to be out of synchronization with the picture. We found out later that he was not singing at all, but that threeyear-old records were dubbed in and he simply mouthed the words. Otherwise Grable and James looked wonderful on the screen, and no doubt each provided a fine performance. The most obvious fact about color television is that it has not arrived. And this should be noted by those who are considering purchase of a color set. As far as we are concerned, it will be a long, long time before we trade in our own Model T TV for a S1.000 job. So, in our opinion, color TV in its present state is a waste of time and money. And it will remain so until the electronic people can produce something which can compete with color film.— H.P.
