THOSE of our readers who remember Gloria Swanson as one of the most glamorous women in America will be glad to know that Miss Swanson, now a grandmother and as lovely as ever, can be seen and heard on television. Her program, The Gloria" Swanson Hour, on every Wednesday afternoon over WPIX, is done in four segments — entertainment, cooking, beauty and fashion. The wellknown decorator Ormond Butler Riblet assisted in designing a "dream house" — four rooms, each an appropriate background for each part of the show. After studying the particular needs of television decoration, Mr. Riblet created small, important groups within each room to hold the attention of the audience and also to present a picture of perfect taste. For the first phase of the show, an interesting personality is interviewed. . A designer shows off his latest creations in the second. Next, Pat Murray, fashion editor, presents helpful beauty hints. The final portion, "Chef's Holiday," features a guest cooking expert who not only offers helpful suggestions but also prepares, on the spot, his favorite dish. In short, Gloria covers most of the things dearest to a woman's heart against a perfect background.

He even ventures into the atomic mysteries. Last summer on the day of the yearly meteor shower (August 12th), he explained this happening on his broadcast, relating what meteors are, how they travel in space, and how they fall. Yes, indeed, science can be fun.
Television is getting over its growing pains — this is best exemplified by the fact that the boners which have been driving technicians and actors crazy are fast disappearing. We know now, for instance, that if a scene calls for the performers to eat ice cream, the "ice cream" had better be mashed potato disguised or it will melt instantly. The stories of how enterprising directors got around the problems presented by the heat of the lights are becoming young legends.
