It's concerned with problems of char acter, usually involves a family, and has overtones of what used to be called social significance. Historically the closet drama was born on the old Television Playhouse when it was presided over by Fred Coe, a calm, literate, 38-year-old native of Alligator, Miss. Coe's sympathetic personal ity encouraged such writers as "Marty" and other first - rate dramas. Coe later turned out "Producer's Showcase" (NBC-TV) and "Mr. Peepers." Now he's devoting him self entirely to a new dramatic series starting on NBC-TV tonight. "The Pontiac Playwrights' Hour" will appear on alternate weeks at the same hour as "Armstrong Circle Theater' (9:30 p.m., EST). Does the new series intend to perpetuate closet drama? No, says Coe. He explains closet drama was the stepchild of economic ne cessity in those Television Play house days. Because the show had a low budget and couldn't hope to attract big name stars, Coe placed the greatest emphasis on writing. He insisted that writers be paid more than anyone working on a show. His sense of fair play fos tered some of TV's best dramas and set a new pay level for dra matic writers in the industry. The new series' first program Tuesday is a far cry from the old days of limited budgets. "T h e Answer," starring Paul Douglas and Nina Foch. is a dramatiza tion of Philip Wylie's fascinating story of an atomic blast. It will be produced live in NBC-TV's huge Brooklyn studio which will permit a lavish theatrical production. A fortnight hence will come Ernest Hemingway's "The Batt lers." The third scheduled drama, "The Heart is a Forgotten Hotel" by Arnold Schulman, might fit the category of cldset drama but Coe makes clear he is not neces sarily discarding that type of play. "This season there are going to be morn one-hour TV dramas than , in any previous year," says Coe. "An hour program these days has to be awfully good. With competi tion being what it is there's not mucn room for mediocre drama and there's no room for poor drama."
