Fred Allen SaysTV Serious, May Keep People At Home
New York, Oct. 16 — (U.P.)—Comedian Fred Allen, the wizard of the ozone, gave off today with some of his reactions to his first television appearances.
I have a scotch before we start. Mr. Allen?" the reported asked.
"Mr. Allen, what are some of the problems you face in television?"
"Lack of freedom. If I had freedom, I could ad lib. If I could ad lib, I could insult Benney. If I could insult Benny, I'd never run out of material."
"No, I never drink anything but water." Allen replied. "My health you know. Besides, water doesn't cost anything."
"Do you think it's a good idea to have an audience in the studio when you are performing?"
"No. It means you have to play to two audiences. If you play to the studio audience, you have to forget the TV audience, which is your real audience. If you play the home audience, you have to forget the studio audience anywav. ...
Until television can cross Dupont with Kodak and get a cameraman with a cellophane head, a TV studio audience won't be able to see what's going on."
Q. Any more problems?
A: "Money is the big problem in television. The only people who make money in television are the co-ceramen, technicians and stage-hands. They're so highly paid and the actors so poorly paid, it seems to me the sponsors would get more for their money if they put the cameras on the staff and forgot the actors.
"Money, of course, is the reason people don't really appreciate television. It's the only type of visual entertainment they don't have to pay for. They get it free, like water. Which means they have more respect for water than they do actors.
This business of free TV is a serious thing. It threatens to keep people in the home. Think what will happen to progress in California. The politicians will say: "Vote for me, and I'll put a TV set in every living room." In California, if you have television, the sun and social security, you don't need anything else"
A: "The dramatic shows, TV comedy is still in its infancy. It's still too disorganized. You never get to know the actors and they never get to know you. Why, a guy steps into the studio to get out of the rain and what happens? He turns out to be the director of the show."
"To do a TV comedy show, all you need is enough material to put around four commercials. TV comedy needs something like my old 'Allen's Alley,' but that's a pretty tough format to follow on TV."
Suppose the script reads: "And now we come to Senator Claghorn's house. We can tell it's Senator Claghorn's house because there's a mule in the window."
"For the TV audience, we'd have to put a mule in the window. And if we put a mule in the window, who do you think would get the laughs? Me, or the mule?"

Maryland's choice of the white oak as the official state tree is credited to the majestic Wye Oak at Wye Mills, Talbot county, on the state's "eastern shore." One of the nation's largest, the far-spreading Wye oak is 95 feet high and about four centuries old.
