Hollywood Is Now Television Capital , Medium Is Leaning Now To Film Shows By‘ALINE MOSBY United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Television's gradual "go west” movement has turned into a busy stampede. Actors, producers, advertising agency men and programs themselves are deserting Madison Avenue and Rockefeller Center for the land of orange trees, sport shirts—and cameras. The capital of television has moved from New York to Hollywood lock, stock and Trendex ratings. And the medium is now leaning overwhelmingly from live shows to film. Now out of 113 network evening shows this fall season, 78, or 70 per cent, will originate in Hollywood (last year it was 54 per cent), according to present plans. Os the 113 programs, 64 per cent will be on film (including a few shows filmed in Europe or New York). TV trade sources believe live TV always will be with us for special events, news shows, interviews and other non - fiction programs. But live TV drama has been curtailed , Spectaculars In Hollywood One of the top New- York live dramas, the Goodyear-Alcoa Playhouse, hereafter will be performed before Hollywood film cameras. Alfred Hitchcock’s new NBC show, “Suspicion,” will be two-thirds on Hollywood film and one-third live from New York. Some top live New York dramatic offerings, such as “Robert Montgomery Presents,” were sent to the showers last spring. NBC’s first two spectaculars of the season—Mary Martin in “Annie Get Your Gun” and Van Johnson in “The Pied Piper” — both will originate in Hollywood, and “The Pied Riper” will be filmed. "Those live New York dramas seldom get the ratings of a filmed show,’,' is the way one agency executive here puts it. “The live shows are put on by people trained on Broadway and they’re too highbrow.” The flood of film means for the viewer a rash of western series (16) and mysteries <6) with com- ■ edy shows and series (15) decreased but still around. Warner Studio alone is turning out four western series — "Cheyenne,” “Sugarfoot,” “Maverick” and "Colt .45.” Independents Busy But the strong number of filmed shows does not mean the Hollywood major, movie studios are taking over TV. Sixty-two of the fall’s filmed evening shows are being made by independent companies, only nine by Warner’s, Twentieth Century - Fox. Disney and Columbia. Desilu Productions turns out more TV film than the theatrical output of five major film studios. But even a J small slice of the TV film business has brought prosperity to the majors Warner Studio plans a 15 million dollar. TV film production program for the cdming season, and is constructing a million dollar TV building and remodeling three sound stages to take care of its busy TV unit. The major movie studios even are sending scouts to New York to bid for TV film commercials. The TV commercial business formerly was centered in New York, but now 90 per cent of filmed TV blurbs will be made in Hollywood, a 65 million dollar yearly business. Rev, Kirkpatrick Back From School The Rev. W. H. Kirkpatrick returned Friday from a week's Christian education lab school at Akron. Rev. Kirkpatrick was the only representative of this district at the Church of God training school for Sunday school teachers, administrators, and district representatives. The school started July 12.
