Town Called Hollywood, Jan. 5, 1941

 

Jan. 5, 1941: There’s no Jimmie Fidler column today, so here’s Philip K. Scheuer’s Town Called Hollywood. Marriage, it may be, is just what Bette Davis has been needing. An almost spinsterish quality crept into her work in 1940, an aloofness, a withdrawal into herself, which left many of us who count ourselves her admirers baffled, Scheuer says.

The little notice regarding M at the end of the Scheuer column begs me to ask of you, Where in Hollywood was the Tele-View Theater??? They didn't televise their films onto some giant screen did they? The technology of course was available to do just that, contained within the theater, tho the lingering Depression and WW2 delayed tele-vision's promotion and production. The clarity would have had to be as crisp as film projected onto screen. If not, what was the tele-view aspect of the theater? It's a New LA Mystery.
