Willi Major Hoople
-WILLIAM EWALD SAYS:
New Wretched Offering
Performs Some Services
NEW YORK (UPD A. L. Alex
ander's Court of Human Relations
a daytime daily which made its
debut on NBC-TV Monday, is. of
course, a wretched show. But it
Derforms. I think, a couple of
services:
1. It serves to bare counselors
who give snap advice on the pro
gramas sllckstcrs who deal in a
formula approach to life, who wa J
their blanks with platitudes and
shoot from the hio, who honey-
mouth pious banalities with the
awesome assurance of a carnival
pitchman who has been dipped in
instant wisdom.
2. It injects some genuine first
hand agony into a medium in
which the agony is usually second
handthat is, it is usually the
viewer who writhes in pain. Court
of Human Relations is the real
mint goods suffering and anguish,
sin and semi-sin are dished up in
neat half-hour packages for all the
nosy old biddies who wish to sit
and watch and sun themselves in
their own respectability.
Aside from these dubious con
tributions, the merits of the show
are non-existent. Monday's opener
centered around a girl who had a
child by a boyfriend, had married
and had another child, and then
had fled to live with another man.
She wanted a divorce so she
could marry the third fellow and
her husband didn't want to grant
it

tcur.cy wnnof bi 9u.rnt.d by
popular-priced Solomons listened
to the problem briefly and v then
unleashed their ad-glibs: The lady
had a spiteful husband who should
give her a divorce, said one coun
selor; she should consult a mar
riage counsel, said a second; she
should worry about achieving her
immortal soul, said another add
ing; "She's not tia!ipy, well, that
doesn't impress me at all . . . "
The couple looked understandably
confused.
Tuesday's chapter was built
around a blind mfddte-aged wife
who wanted her husband to devote
more time to her. Her husband
protested he was working hard so
he could build a secure future. AH
three counselors bullied the wom
an a little and then called for a
compromise that didn't sound as
if it would work at all. The wom
an continued to look unhappy. So
did her husband.
Obviously, this sort of thing is
not only shoddy farce, it is also
dangerous. It presupposes that a
quick aerial view of any human
being's problems can result in
valid counsel. It pretends that life
can be beautiful if only you listen
to big daddy who knows all the
answers.
And finally, it's just a "cheap
peep show, a keyhole cavalcade,
and a rather mournful reflection
on the taste of TV programmers.

DRAMA UNFOLDS BEHIND
CAMERAS OF NEW MOVIE
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UPD More
drama unfolded behind the cam
eras of a new movie than regis
tered on film when a mother and
daughter were reunited after IB
years of bitter separation.
The daughter was Venetia bte-
venson. a sultry blonde newcom
er. The motner was Anna Lee
star 20 years ago. They were
playing mother and daughter in
I he picture.
'At first the tension and the
emotional strain was terrible,"
Venetia said. "I hadn't lived with
my mother since I was five years
old.
"My , parents were divorced.
and I lived with my father. Moth
er and I corresponded a little bit,
but we were never friends. And
when we did see each other we
usually had an argument."
Separated by Article
Introspective and sad-faced,
Venetia said the basis of her es
trangement from her mother was
a magazine article which mis
quoted her as saving Anna Lee
had never bene a real jiarent to
her.
"She was very hurt by the
story," Venetia said.
'But it is true we were never

close. And it was a shock play
ing her daughter on the screen,
because I've never felt like her
daughter in real life."
Venetia added she suggested
her mother for the role in "Big
Night" in which she co-stars with
Dick Contino.
"I left my father's home to live
by myself when 1 was 15,'' Vene
tia went on. "I missed having a
mother. Teenage girls have a spe
cial need for a mtlher's advice,
and dad wasn't able to fill the
gap.
"Mother and I always looked
more like sisters because she's
so youthful appearing. She acts
young, too. And I act old.
Mother Pictured Differently
"My own picture of a mother
has always been -a good-natured,
elderly woman with an apron and
a twinkle in her eye. It's pretty
different from having a glamor
ous actress for a mother."
During the filming of "Big
Night" Venetia and Anna talked
things over, and the coolness they
felt for one-another gradually
gave way to friendship.
" 'Friendship' is the word, tod,'1
the blue-eyed actress said.
"We just completed a second
picture together, 'Jet Over the At
lantic,' but this time we don't
play mother and daughter. Moth-,
er didn't try to help me with
scenes, and I didn't expect her
to. ' Nor is there any feeling of
competition between us.
"We will be seeing a lot more
of one another now, trying to
know ourselves better."
Her relationship with her moth
er has given Venetia doubts about
raising a family of her own.
She recently divorced actor
Russ Tamblyn. They had no chil
dren. "I really want to be married
again," Venetia concluded. "And
1 want to have children, too. But
the only thing that bothers me is
what kind of a mother I'd make."
