Justice What TV needs least right now is another crime program based on the files of some public organization, a la Dragnet, Racket Squad or Public De¬ fender. But there is a new one on the air, titled Justice, and it’s an exceed¬ ingly good show. This one is based on files of the Legal Aid Society, which gives it an immediate advantage since most of the Legal Aid cases are imbedded in human interest. Justice is packaged by Talent As¬ sociates, the firm that represents TV Playhouse, Mr. Peepers, and Jamie, among others. That probably accounts for much of its quality. Scripts are by some of the better TV Playhouse authors, and the production and di¬ rection are consistently top-notch. Unlike most other programs based on True to life: Lili Darvas, Oscar Homolka in a Justice tale. “files,” Justice is done live rather than on film. Trite as it may sound, the live staging gives the show a certain added excitement. A well-known Broadway or Holly¬ wood actor* usually stars on Justice each week and supporting players are culled from the most competent theater and movie actors. Stories have dealt with such cases as a paroled youth unjustly accused of robbery, a decadent aristocrat trying to get his grandfather’s money.— R.S. FINE TUNING By OWE CRAWFORD New NBC microphone to be worn by performers. It can be fastened to any¬ thing except Marlon Brando’s shirt. • This is a real invention—a mi¬ crophone that can lean on Frank Sinatra. • This will eliminate the microphone boom, and all they have to invent is something else for actors to bump their heads on. All they have to do is find two actresses willing to be seen wear¬ ing the same microphone. • One guy was supposed to wear it in his big death scene, but he said he wouldn't be found dead in it. • With this gadget, a gal can dance and sing at the same time, as long as there isn’t anything wrong with her transmission. One gal’s costume was so brief she needed another micro¬ phone to broadcast to the first mi¬ crophone. • In her case, the mike wasn’t so much concealed in the costume as vice versa. • For the demonstration, the micro¬ phone was sewed into a special gar¬ ment—sort of a mike robe. 21
