We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Proponents of repeats got more research ammunition this week when Hallmark’s re-staging (not a tape) of “Green Pastures” on Mar. 23 earned a 24.9 Trendex — almost exactly double the Oct. 17, 1957 original rating of 12.5, when the same show had to compete with the much-criticised but higher-rated “Mike Todd Party” on CBS. Share-ofaudience was also doubled, scoring 42.1% against the original 20.5. Earlier this season, the taped repeat of a Fred Astaire special also topped the original by 40%.
Kids watch too much gunplay when they should be out playing, said pres. Fred A. Roff Jr. of Colt Patent Firearms Co., a man who admits to enjoying an occasional TV Western. In Washington for the National Rifle Assn, convention, he confessed to a certain professional appreciation of the Western craze — sales of old-fashioned 6-shooters went up 35% last year.
Communications history from primitive times to TV is recounted in a new series. The Corridor, presented on Metropolitan’s WTTG, Washington, by American U in cooperation with the Greater Washington Educational TV Assn. Willard R. Jeffrey, Jr., ex-CBS-TV, is producer.
Cultural old BBC landed one of its TV shows in the “top 10” rating bracket last week for the first time this year, and showed that 2 can play at the culture-vs.-massappeal game. The contest came when Britain’s commercial TV stations presented Vivien Leigh’s TV debut in Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Skin of Our Teeth.” Crafty old non-commercial BBC dusted off Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers’ 25-year-old movie, “Follow the Fleet,” and televised it at the same time. It won hands down. Chairman Sidney Bernstein of Granada TV Network, which originated the cultural spectacular, said the BBC “ought to be ashamed of itself.”
“If you were to compare the mass of TV programming to the mass of magazines on your newsstands, books published in America, the percentage of good plays produced on Bi’oadway to the failures, the number of fine films made in Hollywood against those that are ill-conceived or built on bad taste, I personally think TV would win out in comparison. And TV continually desires to upgrade ... to better its creative role and the quality of its programs.” — Herbert Sussan, NBC director of special programs.
