TV In Review

By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI — NBCTV’s “Telephone Hour” took a sharp turn for the better Sunday evening. Discarding its bland, radio-style approach of motionless music for everybody, the series began its new season by plunging headlong into the visual excitements of television with a fresh format: “Musical

documentaries.” The first entry was a look at the Spoleto festival founded and directed by Gian Carlo Menqtti. According to “Telephone Hour” planes, the programs, which wall generally be seen on an alternate week basis, will feature “outstanding events, personalities, movements and ideas in the field of music.” For

example, the next broadcast in the series, scheduled for Oct. 16, is “A Portrait of Van Clibum.” And in March there will be a profile of Arturo Toscanini, long associated with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Sunday’s premiere outing was offered with the added blessing of no commercials until the end. It is understood that those who run the series are interested in general viewer reaction to this move: Whether it was appreciated or caused discomfort. If you would like to submit your opinion on this, you could ■write to “The Telephone Hour,” National Broadcasting Co., Rockefeller Plaza, New Yprk, N.Y. The televised look at the fes-

the man and the idea behind it, some performances, some rehearsals and a bit of the town. Menotti, of course, is represented on NBC-TV each Christmas season with his renowned opera, “Amahl and the Night Visitors.” Speaking in English, with a charming Italian accent, the composer explained that the month-long festival, which is nine years old, came about as a result of his dissatisfaction with artists being “the after-dinner mint” of society — a wonder-

relatively dormant. The result is that new life was given Spoleto, and the annual affair is indeed essential to its well-being. Thus the hours was a story with music, and its general appeal was certainly not diminished by the fact that Menotti is a remarkably young-looking 55 and handsome too, and that two of the conductors, Zubin Mehta and Thomas Schippers, were better-looking than most movie stars. It could be that this was the first classical mu-

sic film that even Cornell Wilde couldn’t help.

Executives’ Digest reports that one Chicago firm is marketing two-by-three feet views of Madison Avenue for agency people who don’t have windowed offices. They have two advantages over the real thing —“they’re glare proof and

jump proof.”
