VIDEOvs.AUTO-SOCIALREVOLUTION n*HE AMERICAN FAMILY may * be ready to move' out of the automobile and back into the home. The vehicle that changed the home into merely a human filling .station may be surrendering its sociological influence to another device—television. T h e automobile fashioned American customs, ethics, re­ ligion, crime, domestic life and courtship the first half of the century. Let's see how televis­ ion promises to* impress its sway upon the American so­ ciety the second half. The type, “modern American,” was developed by the automobile, which transported him from the peace and seclusion of home to the wide world of events with which he felt compelled to keep pace. Television brings the world of events into the confines of the liv­ ing room. The members of an American family with television are less inclined to be roaming searchers for experience, enlighten­ ment and entertainment. Together, and with the family next door, they can experience happenings all over the world without leaving home. There are about four million sets in the United States today/- approximately one set for every eight persons. One-eighth of the population, inculcated with the influence of home and renewed interest in family life induced by television, is a pretty fair propagandising force. In about four years, it is estimated, about half of the population will own sets. But how long will television re­ main attractive enough to appeal to the young and old and keep the family circle intact? What happens when the novelty wears off? Excel­ lence in-televised programs will be the final claim television will need to retain its new influence. And certainly the new medium hsS‘ not achieved that excellence yet. As to radio, only a definite num- ber, T#+^ ? ne3s for transmission exist. If they are monopolized by in­ ferior programs, television will en­ joy no more respect than a dime museum. and Americans will take to thelughways again for diversion. But future improvement in the grade of television shows is indi­ cated by the movie industry’ s prep- aration lor the day when the quality Of television shows rivals that of movie house productions. The mov­ ies plan to take over production of pictures for television, should tele­ vision ever become a serious com­ petitor. Quickening of these prep­ arations suggests that television is lifting its standards. D e s p i t e declarations that Americans will continue to en­ joy “ going out” for entertain­ ment to places where crowds congregate, the movies are be­ ginning production for televis­ ion. Television audiences can no longer be placated with Holly­ wood’s old single-reelers from the vaults. Despite smugness over the superiority of theatfer- movies to television in techni­ cal and artistic qualities, Holly­ wood is planning to throw all its talents into making movies for television, designed to throw the networks out of the show- producing business. This activity discloses plans by some of the cinema companies to purchase television networks. The movies can’t suffer too much- from the present television show. But eventually somebody, will get smart—either the present televis­ ion networks or some movie pro­ ducer in possession of a network— and begin turning out shows that will take a lot of business away from the theaters. Hollywood’s designs on television will force it either to reform it­ self or to let Hollywood take over production. The coming struggle will result in a better product from both. . This expected trend toward better television and the com­ ing increase in ,set ownership wilt enable the medium to main­ tain and even strengthen its in­ fluence upon American cus­ toms. The American family that e the automobile tore asunder will be re-united again in the home around a television screen. Right now, some heads of fami­ lies are worried by the potential effects of television “kiddie” pro­ grams. They say television is teach­ ing the youngsters to become reg­ ular little gangsters, despite the fact it keeps them home where par­ ental influence is stronger. * This persuasion, they say, is all the more insiduous because crime shows steal time from children that could more profitably be spent on school books and activity more elevating than looking at gore. Theysay television will result in better trained juve­ nile delinquents. Yet, there are excellent educa­ tional programs televised which the kids generally pronounce “ boring.” Children’s choice of cowboys and murderers over good drama and music may be a condemnation of their “ upbringing" rather than of television, even granting that the average television program is of low intellectual worth. What matters is that televis­ ion is keeping children at home more. And parents can 'super­ vise the child’ s recreation in the living room before the tel­ evision screen by merely twist­ ing a dial—restriction that can­ not be enforced when Junior is on the streets. Yes, it looks as if sion is go­ ing to take our rec ,i, economy and morals off meets for a time. r. f\ I ; SHOP AND SAVE AT THRIFT-E ATTEND OES INSPECTION -Mrs. Mary E.
