TV Guide (October 19, 1951)

Dig at Doug Note to Doug Edwards: We catch your news every night and like both your con¬ tent and your manner, but couldn't some¬ body tell your Washington man to send you films with more competent handling of photography and sound? We realize cor¬ respondent-photographers work under the pressure of speed, poor lighting and no sound-proofing, but the Washington films, consistently poor, need craftsmanship. Walter Winchell’s column calls Mary Kaye of W^NBT a “blondiful charmer” and a “dollypop.” We like her, too—for an ad¬ ditional reason. At the close of 0’s tele¬ vising each night, she makes her plans for next day’s televiewing—from TV Guide. Newies: The thumbs appear to be down for Actor’s Hotel (Tues., 10 p.m., Q) but up for chanteuse Nellie Colette (Thurs., 7 p.m., 0). Speaking of improving your mind—and your perspective—get hoW of the new book. The Nature of Tkingsj by TV’s own Dr. Roy K. Marshall (illustrations by Jon Gnagy). The good doctor presents the story of the universe as the yarn it really is—the world’s most exciting story. The regular appearance of Ezio Pinza on TV will show what a good voice should really be and may even expose some of the phonies who now pose as singers. Some of the best movies are ruined by bad cutting jobs. We understand the neces¬ sity for compressing these old classics into TV’s one hour production unit, but it sometimes seems that the slashing cuts might be made with more discretion. We are never troubled when people get shot on television. The revolver’s report always sounds somewhat less impressive than a cap pistol. (What are we saying? If they give us realistic pistol shots, they’ll bust our set.)— Harold B.
