Anthology Series
By DICK KLEINER
HOLLYWOOD - (NEA) -
Progress. It means going
forward, but there’s no rea
son why you can’t steal a
little from the past as you
bravely march into the fu
ture.
Maybe you hadn’t noticed,
but that’s what TV has been
doing lately. TV’s history is
full of anthology series—
Philco, U.S. Steel. Playhouse
90 and the rest —which even
tually faltered and flopped.
TV’s present and. most
likely, future are full of the
movies-for-TV programs.
What they really are. of
course, are anthology series
—done on film and called
World Premiere or Tuesday
Night at the Movies, or
whatever, but boiled down
they are sneaky ways of re
viving the old anthology
concept.
Next fall, CBS will have a
new one which is the old
Suspense show, tricked out
with film and 90 minutes,
but still nothing more than
an old-fashioned suspense
anthology series.
Philip Barry is producing
it—the network is calling it
CBS’ Friday Night Movies—
and he thinks there’s a good
reason for the rebirth of an
thologies.
“In the ’sos," he says,
'anthologies were big. And
they helped improve the
public’s taste. That led, in
the '6os, to an upturn in the
quality of movies. Now that
has led, in turn, to the pub
lic’s demand for better TV,
so I think the ’7os will see
better TV —and the only
wav to do that is through
anthologies.”
Barry believes the pub
lic’s taste, today, is better
than it has ever been in U.S.
history— through exposure
to so much, they have be
come selective.
His program next fall will
be all-suspense, of various
sorts. He wants to get away
from cliche TV, so he’s not
doing any law enforcement
shows, no doctors, no law
yers, none of the usual
things.
He’ll make 22 of the 90-
minute shows. (Actually,
only 16, since six will be

other unit, although he'll
work closely with that
unit.) He says he’s getting
good writers, because the
good writers want to work
in this kind of format. Abby
Mann walked in with a fin
ished script, one that was
not quite heavy enough for
a movie, but perfect for this
show. And he also has
scripts from names out of
TV’s glorious past—Ernest
Kinoy and David Shaw, for
example.
Barry says that, among
the three networks, there
will be close to 100 new
movies on the home screen
next season. TV’s glorious
past, disguised as the pro
saic present, lives again.

SILENT MOTHER, OR
MUM’S THE WORD
Elizabeth Allen was
thrilled, pleased, delighted
and overjoyed when she was
offered a big starring role in
Howard Koch’s "Star Span
gled Girl” for Paramount.
And she was even happier
when she learned she’s on
screen in virtually every
scene.
“W hen can I see a
script?" she asked. “I want
to start working on the dia
logue so I’ll have the timing
perfect.”
‘‘Don't worry,” Koch said.
"You’ll have no trouble with
this part."
And, when she saw the
script, she realized he was
ri g h t—she doesn’t say a
single word in the entire
film.

Presidential Mansion
In 1789, President-elect and
Mrs. George Washington
moved into a house on
Cherry Street in New York
City, making it the first
presidential mansion.
News
highlights
From the national and international wires of United
Press International to the Griffin Daily News and its
readers:
Okinawa treaty set
PARlS—Japanese Foreign Minister Klichi Aichi and
U.S. Secretary of State William P. Rogers today
concluded negotiations on the return to Okinawa to
Japanese control. They set June 17 as the date for formal
signing of the treaty.
Limit television
WASHINGTON—Key Senate Democrats faced with a
proposal that would allow President Nixon to spend more
on television electioneering in 1972 than in 1968 have
agreed to back a bill cutting the amount in half.
Senate Democratic Policy Committee voted to back
legislation that would place tight curbs on the amount a
presidential candidate may spend for television.
Rail strike looms
WASHINGTON—AIthough Congress last month
legislated a summer-long moratorium to block a national
rail strike by one union, the spectre of a shutdown of the
rail system stemming from the walkout by another union
may arise in a couple of weeks.
The United Transportation Union now is free to call a
selective strike against a few rather than all railroads as
part of its effort to obtain a better contract It needs only
to give two weeks notice to the targets of such a strike.
China trade list
WASHINGTON—President Nixon plans to issue
Thursday a list of products which U.S. businessmen may
try to sell to Mainland China in the commercial fallout
from ping-pong diplomacy.
The move to end a 20-year embargo on trade with China
appears to have more political and symbolic importance
than economic impact There is no indication China is
ready to buy very much from the United States.
Post back on stands
NEW YORK—The Saturday Evening Post is back on the
newsstands, following a two-year suspension of
publication. It is a quarterly now and appeared on major
city newsstands yesterday. It is to be distributed to
smaller cities later this week.
POWs and pullout
WASHINGTON—Rep. Robert L. Leggett (D-Calif.) said
he was told in Paris by high ranking Viet Cong that if the
United States agrees to set a withdrawal date for its
forces, the Vietnamese Communists will release all
American prisoners before that date.
Lower voting age
CARSON CITY, Nev.—A state constitutional
amendment lowering the voting age in Nevada elections
from 21 to 18 was narrowly approved by voters yesterday,
35,516 to 33,651. The amendment could add 12,000 to 15,000
voters to the registration list.
Material witness
YUBA ClTY—Juan Cervantes Mosqueta, 50, a farm
laborer, has been jailed as a material witness in the
slayings of 25 itinerant farm workers.
Military pay hike
WASHINGTON—The Senate approved a military pay
raise Tuesday that would up the basic pay for a raw
recruit to $301.50 per month. With allowances this will
swell his annual income to $5,328.43. The $2.6 billion pay
increase is designed to attract enough volunteers into the
service to eliminate the draft
The Philosophy of Funeral Service —
The Primary Concern of Your Funeral Director . . .
GIVING DIGNITY TO MAN
E very funeral is really a testimonial to the dignity of man
and the goodness and justice of a Supreme Being. To show
b reverence for the dead and compassion for the living arises
out of the deepest needs and highest motives of human
nature. Thus, each funeral gives dignity not only to the
departed, but at the same time, to all mankind.
The English Poet, John Donne, expressed it this way
some three and one-half centuries ago: “No man is an island,
entire of himself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a
part of the main; . . . any man’s death diminishes me, be
cause I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send
to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
The funeral is an ageless custom which sees man as an
individual of worth. Knowing the great value of human life,
we honor that value when we commemorate the death of
one who has lived amongst us.

shaped station went through its
orbit, 150 miles above the
earth, but that the rigors of
weightlessness had tired them.
The ill effect of prolonged
weightlessness long has been a
problem under study by space
scientists both in the United
States and the Soviet Union.
Radio Moscow said today the
new suit’s main feature is a
suspender-type apparatus that
fastens over the shoulders and
under the soles of the
cosmonauts’ boots.
Dobrovolsky reported today
that the crew was feeling well

the scientific equipment aboard
the orbital station.
