Answer: Yes. You should tell them that television viewing is the enter¬ tainment you plan. If they suggest something else they’d rather do, the hostess has the right to suggest that guests come on another evening. The Other SUle of the Screen At a television show where there is a regular, large studio audience, rules are strict concerning arrivals and departures. The audience is often “warmed-up” before the show goes on, helping it to take its part in the laugh¬ ter and applause that is often necessary to the success of the show and to its performers. They also are told of the rules against unscheduled noise, wav¬ ing at the cameras and other things. Sometimes, when a show does not have a regular audience, friends or other interested people are permitted in the studio. They should arrive well in advance of program time, sit quiet¬ ly throughout the performance and pay strict attention to the signal lights. On panel shows, a woman guest of the panel learns by first viewing the show, or by asking those in charge of program arrangements, what she is expected to wear. She does not turn up in full evening dress if the men on the show are in business suits and the other women guests in street dresses. But, because viewers like to see women panel members in interest¬ ing, dressy clothes, there is a little more leeway in dress than there would be under ordinary social cir¬ cumstances. A woman who, in her own circle, wouldn’t dream of wear¬ ing evening clothes on Sunday night, might have to conform if other panel members wore such a costume. TV directors dislike, usually, to have women guests wear black or navy clothes. Under TV lighting conditions, these cause a “halo” around the fig¬ ure that is disconcerting to viewers. Glittering ornaments which reflect light are in disfavor, as are too-low necklines or dresses with vertical stripes that carry the subject right out of the picture. Hats, too, are awkward because they shade the face, and no matter how well-designed, often look like lampshades on the screen. I get many complaints about the manners of emcees and big stars from friends of mine who are asked to be TV guests on national programs. But remember that if a guest tries to top the lines of a comedian, the sponsor is annoyed. After all, it’s the comedian who gets paid for the gags. The guest, whether we like it or not, is often the stooge. If an emcee tries to steer a guest into an indirect endorsement of his sponsor’s product, the guest may be annoyed but he should be polite. A guest who acts as if he’s doing a favor by his very presence is un¬ gracious, to say the least. 17
