HAVE YOU TUNED IN ... The Silver Theater on CBS at 6:00 p.m., E.S.T., Sunday nights, sponsored by the International Silver Company and starring the best actors of Hollywood in original comedies and dramas which are usually written by a young man named True Boardman. True is a specialist in writing half -hour plays to fit the particular abilities of screen stars. He has to his credit a list of seventyfive original airplays — or did when this was written, and it will be more by. the time you read it. He's not as proud of that record, though, as he is of being able to give any actor a script that is tailored tightly to his measure. For instance, the Silver Theater signs up some movie celebrity — say Clark Gable — for a future program, and True has the job of writing a play for him to act in. "I sit down and think about Gable," True says, "about his mannerisms and personal history. After a while an appropriate plot begins to come into my mind — a plot that just calls for Clark Gable to play the leading man." Maybe the reason True is able to see his stories in terms of the actors and actresses who play in them, is that he was an actor himself before he became a writer. He made his dramatic debut at the age of four by wandering onto the stage of a theater where his actor-father was playing. Soon after that he got into movies, and grew up in Hollywood, playing important roles in "Shoulder Arms" with Charlie Chaplin and "Daddy Longlegs" with Mary Pickford. Later on, he was on Broadway and in touring stock ompanies, and didn't get interested in writing until he turned to radio. He's still interested in acting, and occasionally does dramatic roles on programs originating in Hollywood. In addition, he frequently puts on a good one-man show at Silver Theater rehearsals, raging, begging, and arguing with actors to show them exactly how he wanted a line to sound when he wrote it. True is married, and has a five-year-old daughter named Penny, who thinks it's pretty silly that all of Daddy's stories are about "a man that falls in love with a girl." He says he expects she'll get the idea a little better a few years from now. Meanwhile, True himself would rather write an original story, one made up by himself, than to adapt a movie or stage play; and would rather write a story with a psychological background than anything else. He has dozens of books on psychology, and is happiest when he's reading one of them.
