TV Has Grown From Infancy to Giant Size
by Bernard Lansfcy

AP TV-Radlo Writer "
NEW YORK (AP) - Television
grew -up go fast it jumped in a
little over a decade from infancy
tn giant sire. In the process jt
almost overnight grew too big for
it* britches or, perhaps more
accurately, its gwanddling clothes.
Over the years, particularly in
New York, the three networks
have been trying to get television
decently tailored—enough studios,
stages and rehearsal space. The
Hollywood TV facilities of network
television have been magnificently
expanded—one reason that it has
looked as if Los Angeles would
monopolize "
the industry as shews moved west.
In New York City where rents
are high and space is at a pre-
mium, the networks have convert-
ed radio studios to TV by crowd-
ing in cameras and other cumber-
some equipment. They have rent-
ed and bought theaters for the
shows which use audiences. Re-
hearsals have, been and are held
in all sorts of places, from offices
to rented banquet halls. Perform-
ers and crews have grumbled
about the inconvenient, out-of-the-
way locations of rehearsal halls.
While the New York facilities
are still inadequate, they are
gradually getting better. Each net

or three theaters for its network
variety and audience-participation,
shows — Perry Como’s, Garry
Nfcore's, Ed Sulivan’s, "The
Price is Right,” “What’s My
Line?” and the Johnny Carson
Show; for Instance.
NBC has two huge studios in
Brooklyn which pretty well take
care of their eastern-produced
dramatic shows and specials.
ABC has a center with five studios
in midtowri. CBS has -Augmented
its headquarters • studios with
others in a remodeled meeting-hall
building.
Now, however. CBS wants, to
bring under one roof seven studios
and complete production facilities.
If the plan goes through, the new
building Would be finished iti 1964.
At least this indicates the CBS
still plans to produce show? in
New York. And, perhaps, if New
York's production facilities reach
_. a point where they are on a par
with those of Hollywood, we might
f be ..treated to a return of those
I stimulating, live dramas which
|> j were once New York’s TV
| specialty.
certainly sounded as if Art
Linkletter, earnestly selling a
fruit drink every few minutes
during NBC's Tournament of
i Roses Parade coverage, was suf-
: fering from a heavy head cold
while talking about how vitamin
stuffed and health-making the
product was . . . Next Sundays
Dinah Shore Show will not, after
all, be a program she filmed last
summer in Copenhagen but some-
thing new with Fabian and Wayne
and Shuster. Could it be that big
names win better ratines than
travelogues? Incidentally, her sub-
stitutes last Sunday—George Go-
bel, Peggy Lee and Frankie Ava-
lon-produced a bright, spirited
and light-hearted hour of enter-
tainment, the kind of show Dinah
herself was turning m two seasons
back.
Recommended tonight: Circle
Theatre. CBS. 10-11. EST-“Black
Market Babies,” a dramatic look
at the illegal adoption racket.
