Hi-Way News
Last Sunday Vic and Boo With
erup entertained some friends
from town with an outdoor pic
nic at the back of their place,
along Bear Creek. Those who
were there to enjoy the affair
TOO BAD
For a while it looked as though
we'd be spared soap operas in tel
evision, since five shows a week
would he too much of a strain
on any set of actors. (Television
requires a great deal of rehears
ing because actors must memor
ize their lines instead of read
ing from a scritp.)
But now we hear that a tiny
walkie-talkie device has been
perfected; it is attached invisibly
ito an actor's ear and an off-stage
director can prompt him when
ever he forgets his lines. Televi
sion experts think that this will
cut down on the rehearsal time
enough to permit daily soap-op
era programs.
However. script writers will
have to keep speeches pretty j
short so that they can be trans
mitter quickly. Thus, the Trudy
Faces tragedy program may sound
something like this:
"Hi, Trudy.” “Hi, John.” “How
is Mother?” “She’s dying.” “Where
is Dad?” “Run off.” “And with
whom?” "Ma Perkins.” “Oh me!”
“Oh. my!” Oh, well. . . .
