Television's Emmy Show
Uninspired Production;
Chance for Honor Flubbed
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) Televis
ion flubbed its chance Tues
day night to come up with a
show that would do honor
to itself.
I'm sure that many of those
associated with the 10th an
ual "Emmy" award show
seen on NBC-TV will be
laying the blame on Milton
Berle today for his outrageous
hogging of the camera. Berle
spur out an extended mono
logue (to give him his due,
it was quite funny) that
forced everyone else to cut
short their routines and seem
ed to throw the show into a
kind of panic.
But it seemed to me the.
show's troubles were more
basic. To put it simply, it was
an uninspired production.
Like the Hollywood "Os
car" show a few weeks back,
the Emmy awards were pre
sented against a bare back
drop while confusion ran
rampant on the teleprompter
and on camera. There seemed
to be an excessive amount of
audio bugs, the camera shots
often ran behind the announc
ing, and there was a frantic
air of "how the heck am I
going to get down the aisle"
about it all.
Any Fresh Ideas?
It seems puzzling that an
industry equipped with the
sort of production brains
capable of turning out the
Dinah Shore, Perry Como and
Steve Allen shows is unable
to handle a simple award din
ner with dignity, distinction
and fresh ideas.
Only the most groping of
efforts was made to add pro
duction values to the show.
That wonderful motley mili
tary miscellany the Phil
Silvers platoon was parad
ed onstage to the tune of the
"March from the River
Kwai." Once, a four-way!

screen was tried unsuc
cessfully while Jill Corey,
Shirley MacLaine, James Gar
ner and Louis Nye tackled a
parody of "Love and Mar
riage." I would say the showonly
registered on one count it
had a kind of homey air about
it, an off-the-cuff informality
that was pleasing at times.
But its informality teetered
too often on the edge of chaos.
It boils down to this: TV
simply will have to make up
its mind about the Emmys
and set itself for an overhaul
of both the awards and the
award show.
For one thing, the categor
ies are unwieldy. A category
like "best continuing per
formance (female) in a series
by a comedienne, singer,
hostess, dancer, MC, announc
er, narrator, panelist, or any
person who essentially plays
herself" is a patent absurdity.
The category should be sliced
to about half their number
or better still, done away with
entirely and awards just pre
sented to those shows or per
formers who merit them.
There is something very
wrong with a system that de
cides "The Comedian" on
"Playhouse 90" is the best
single show of the year, that
bestows an award on "Omni
bus" and is forced to slough
off "See It Now," that gives
a statue to "Schultzy" of "The
Bob Cummings Show" and
forgets "The Edsel Show,"
"The Miracle Worker," Jack
Parr, Sid Caesar and "Hall
mark Hall of Fame."
And secondly, TV should
organize its awards as a show
free of commercials, not as a
kind of subway competition
for seats, .a cheap scramble
that looks more like a kiss-off
than what it should be: A
tasteful, imaginative extrava
ganza that the TV industry
can point to with pride.

Shotgun Blast
Kills Unborn Child
Toledo, Ohio API Mrs.
Arietta Brahier, 26, who po
lice said killed her unborn
child by shooting herself in
the stomach with a 16-gauge
shotgun, was in "critical con
dition" at the Flower hospital
early today.
Her husband, Maurice Bra
hier, told authorities his wife
had been pregnant for about
eight and a half months.
Mrs. Brahier was found
bleeding just inside the door
of her house by a neighbor.
Brahier, a factory worker,
said his wife suffered from a
heart ailment. The sheriff's
office said she may have shot
herself because she was ill.
Authorities still have not
been able to talk to her, however.
