VVUNC-TV Telecasts
Connie Direct From
Weather Bureau
By DORIS WEAVER
Thw most talked-about gal since
"Hazel" swept in a new era in com
munication; this week an era of
getting the straight facts to the
people direct from the experts in an
emergency.
While "Hurricane Connie" crawled
up the coast, professional TV an
nouncers stepped out of the picture
un a widespread television hook-up,
in favor of United States Depart
ment of Commerce Weather Bureau
Meteorologists.
The staff of the U. S. Weather
Bureau at Raleigh-Durham Airport
by-passed sleep to keep a weather
eye on teasing Connie, and to report
her behavior in almost play-by-play
fashion to the people of the State.
"Call out the crew!" came an early
morning message from the Univer
sity of North Carolina Director of
Television Duff Browne to the
WUNC-TV studio from the WTeather
Bureau at Raleigh-Durham Airport
via inter-communications radio. Thi3
was Wednesday morning.
Within an hour, all crew members
were present and accounted for, and
on their way to man their various
stations. Engineers quickly loaded
the mobile unit bus with remote
d headed for the
Weather Bureau. Office personnel
was busy cancelling all programs for
the evening.
"We'll aim for a 1 p.m. sign on,"
Director Browne said, and the word
was passed along by radio to studios
in Raleieh and Greensboro, and to
the transmitter on Terrell's Moun
tain near Chapel Hill. However, tech
ideal difficulties slowed the starting
time to 1:30 p.m.
A3 cameras were being set up in
the main loom of the Weather Bu
reau, other TV stations in the area
were being contacted. By 1:30, three
station were ready to pick up the
telecast, and another joined at the
time of the second telecast at ZMV
None of the Weather Bureau fore
casters had been on television before,

The Wild West comes to life this
Friday and Saturday night in the
Playmakers; Theatre as the Junior
Carolina Playmakers present "Dead
wood Dick," a dashing melodrama of
the wild and wooly West, the type
Grandfather used to read.
The Junior Playmakers are a group
of talented liigh-schoolers who are on
campus this session studying Dramatic-
Arts. The production of "Dead
wood Dick" will be the result of
their studies in writing, acting, and
play production. These young thes-
pians do a professional job in mak
ing their characters live for the audi
ence and each other.
"Deadwood Dick" was a Robin
Hood of the Black Hills created by
the imaginative pen of the little
known writer, Edward L. Wheeler,
who started the series of stories in
1876 and ended fifteen years and
sixtv-four stories later. Playwright
Tom Taggart has taken the best of
these sixty-four stories and written
a delightful melodrama which in
volves all the favorite plots of the
"old-timey" Westerns.
Director Louise Lamont guides
her talented cast through hilarious
plot situations such as the discovery
of long-lost daughters, stolen goia
mines-, kidnapped heroines, and hair
breadth escapes. Mrs. Lamont says
that these plays were known as melo
dramas because they were accompa
nied in their action by incidental
melody. This show is no exception,
with members of the cast singing
such numbers as "The Curse of an
Arhintr Heart," "My Mother WTas A
Lady," "She's More to Be Pitied
Than' Censured," and "The Dreary
Black Hills." Authentic to the last
detail, the piano sounds exactly like
one of the old saloon up-nghts.
The action of "Deadwood Dick"
takes place in the Man-Trap Saloon
which is owned by that lady of
dubious virtue, Calamity Jane. An
idea of the action might be gotten
from the titles of some of the scenes
The Abduction of Rose Blossom, The
Sin of Molly Lovelace (the sheriff's
wife), The Kiss Auction, Dick Want
ed, Dead or Alive, The Hairbreadth
Escape, and The Devil Claims His
Own.
1 hough this play is based on a
series of old Western stories, re
member that it was written by a
modern playwright for modern audi
ences. Some of the lines are simply
terrific, rivaling "The Moon Is Blue"
in their naughtiness. This isn't a Roy
Rogers type story, but rather it is a
delightfully risque story designed for
a mature adult audience. Not only
are some of the lines extremely
funny, but the play is spiced with a
very suggestive adventuress, a
drunken father who brands his baby
girl with a red-hot poker, ... and a few-
illegitimate children thrown in for
good measure.
The scenery, by Harvey Whet
stone, is so real in its appearance
that one feels that he is really sit
ting in the Man-Trap Saloon. The
authentic costuming is being handled
by Bob Snead with such effectiveness
that the characters look as though
they were taken straight from an
old tin-type. Harvey and Bob both
hold positions with the regular Play-
maker organization.
This show, "Deadwood Dick," will
be presented in the Playmakers'
Theatre this Friday and Saturday
nights, the 19th and 20th of August.
The tickats are 75 cents each and
are on sale at Ledbetter-Pickard's
or the Playmaker office in Abernethy
Hall.
Don't miss this fine entertainment
and a chance to encourage these tal
ented youngsters.
