USA Pavilion, housing RCA's color TV exhibit, dominated the International Trade Fair grounds at Tokyo, Japan. Scully, George Closs and J. B. Marchetti. RCA's Inter- national Division cooperated closely on the entire project. The RCA crew arrived in Tokyo about the middle of April and arranged for shipment of the equipment from Yokohama, where it had been unloaded from the freighter President Adams after a Pacific crossing. Japan's three TV networks volunteered to supply talent free. In return for this courtesy, RCA threw open its color TV facilities at the fair to engineers and technicians from the networks. Members of the crew held impromptu "school sessions" for interested Japanese engineers after the fair closed each day. While the programming leaned heavily toward Kabuki drama and dances, which tell a story of Japanese culture in song and dance, and Noh plays of ancient Japanese drama, Mr. Mullen also arranged many Amer- ican-type shows such as fashion promenades, cooking shows, magicians, puppets and a rough-house kiddy show called "Rumpus Room." At times the RCA exhibit became so congested that people had to be moved out at the end of one show so a waiting audience could get in to see the next performance. Typical of the press comments was one from Tele- vision-Radio Shimbun: "The color television exhibit is not only the best show at the American pavilion, but also the greatest of the fair. This is RCA's Million-Dollar Color Tele- vision Caravan and the equipment is as fabulous as its name implies." Japan Seen Next Country With Color TV What was learned by participation in the Interna- tional Trade Fair? "Japan will be the next country with commercial color television," predicts Meade Brunet, Vice Presi- dent, RCA. "This demonstration," he said, "is a major step in the ultimate establishment of a globe-spanning color television service. "Already," said Mr. Brunet, "Japan has purchased several color TV units for handling film and is engaged in color telecasting on an experimental basis. The Japa- nese people are ready and waiting for color television, and it will be only a matter of time before other countries around the world start color telecasting." Tokyo policemen hold back milling crowds waiting to get inside and look at the RCA color television display.
