Show MILLAhD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., Dec. 18, 1952! Card of Thanks Our deepest appreciation is ex-tended to our friends lor the kind-ness and consideration shown us during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father, Char-les A. Stratton, and we thank them for the help they gave in many ways at the home and in the funeral services. Mrs. Charles A. Stratton and family Don and Norene Killpack, who have been at Long Beach, Miss., where Don is stationed with the AF, are spending a leave visiting here. They arrived in Cedar City-las- Wednesday, and visited to aStuiday with Mrs. Killpack's par-ents, Mr. and Mrs. Truman Clo-thier. They came on to Delta for the holiday season and visit with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Killpack. Mrs. Joseph Smith ,and young son, from Ogden, arrived in Delta Thursday and will visit until after Christmas with hei parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Pearson. Mr. Smith will come for Christmas and take his family back with him. palron, Robert Sherwood, and oth-ers. TV lights nearly cut Mr. Sher-wood's head off right at the neck but since it was Rob't Sherwood, I personally didn't care. Mr. Sloane chairman of the Met, asked if j the audience wouldn't like to con-tribute a little something, and he showed us how to place our checks in the envelopes we had received with our programs, and mail them. This, in addition to tickets at $3.66 each. In other cities, tickets rang-ed up to $7.70. As with most new developments, future costs may be lowered. The event struck me as possibly as sig-nificant as the first sound movie. Could it be that in the future Hollywood will dipense with can-ned film and send its shows out by cable and microwave? It's possible, if financially feas-ible. The idea is intriguing from the artistic, technical and business standpoints. On the other hand it may turn out that many entertainment, ed-ucational and business institutions are going too far in trying to use television for jobs that can be done better with sound movie in full color. Time will tell. Wingovers All the news that's fit to print Irom the Delta Airport by Dick Morrison Fogotten Man, 1952 It's only twentylfive words but this little poem by Ben Ray Red-man in the Freeman seems to have caught all the terrible trag-edy of political war in Korea. It is entitled "Heartbreak Ridge." Under strange skies, On a strange hill, Shapeless he lies, Dreadfully still. No future his, Youth with no past; Only a name Bury him fast. Take Offs And Landings That was a nice write-u- p Re-gion VI .news gave the CAA's per-sonality boy, Ray Steele, as quot-- , ed in another item, but I'm won-dering if the editor knew the half of it when he wrote of how busy a schedule one would have fol-lowing Ray around through a day's activities. Take last Friday, Roy started the day on horseback, rid-ing out to the beacon on Harrimian Hills, which is west across the Jor-dan River from the Point of the Mountain, near Salt Lake.

Just what some secretary in a business oflice will think on getting love and kisses from Mr. iMchols, oi Delta, Utiah, is anybody's guess. Nathan E. Ward came to light again in Region VI news, too mis month. iate was awarded a cert, of commendation lor suggesting that ventilation be provided in the Type S watch houses. It just proves that Nate is as much on' the ball in Phoenix as he was in Deta. Clair Gardner did a little prac-tice flying Sunday. Boots Done's Aeronca was seen taking off from his farm Sunday p.m., destination not known to this reporter. Archie Searle took his Aeronca Champ to Spanish Fork for a check-u- p last Tuesday. Accom-panying him on the round trip were his brother, Tex, and his father, Delbert Searle. ii A Night At The Opera The showing of the opera, Car-men, by a nation-wid- e chain of movie thpatres. as it. was beine it indicated to the thatre manage-ment that they liked the show, and the sound system brought in simultaneous applause from the opera house. If we missed something of the real performance by seeing it tele-- , vised, we gained enough to com-pensate in other ways. The five TV cameras were used with great skill to follow the action. In giv-ing close-up- s of soloists, duos and groups they gave the TV audience something the home audience could not possibly see. At the start, the cameras show-ed the diamond horse shoe in all its glilter, then moved down for a close-u- p of Fritz Reiner, as he brought down his baton for the rousing overture; then backed to show the curtain rising, and then followed the action on the stage. We felt we were watch-ing a movie production, until this illusion was dispelled as the cam-era moved back to show the pro-scenium arch when .the curtain was lowered at the end of the act. Carmen was a good choice for iths initial showing, because of its universal popularity. The opera of Habanera, Seguidilla, the Tor-eador Song, and the rest, is not only of top quality, but is a veri-table hit parade Bizet's his pa-rade, one might call it. Much to my liking were the Habanera and Seguidilla Song sung by Rise Ste-vens, Toreador Song by Robert Merrill, Micaela's Aria by Nadine Conner, the duet by, Miss Conner sung on the stage of the "Met" last Thursday evening, was an en-tertainment innovation of some sigificance. The means used was closed- - circuit television, that is, television "piped" directly to the theatres instead of being broad-cast. La Vonne and I felt well repaid for making the trip to Salt Lake City to see this first show of its kind at the Utah Theatre. The sound was pretty close to hi-f- i. It was as good as most movie sound. Since nearly all theatre sound gets amplified by loud speakers these days, the sound we heard was probably as good as in the opera house itself. Through some 'fluke, an annoying "frying" noise came through for the first few minutes, but this was cleared up during Rise Stevens' first Ha-banera. The televised picture was full movie screen size. While not in as sharp focus as motion pictures, it was still very good. The soft focus could have been, and often is, used even in movies for its arty effect. The picture was, of course in monochrome. On several occasions the Salt Lake audience broke into spontan-eous applause. While the perform-ers could not hear this, at least and Mr. Tucker, and the final dramatic scene by Miss Stevens and Mr. Tucker. It was clear that the Salt Lake audience felt they were seeing something extra spe-cial. Among them were many, ob-viously music tachers, who were thrilled to see a real Met perform-ance on the screen. Tecnicall, there was little to be desired. Clearer focus, perhaps, and later, color. Financially, it may be that the theatre holds the answer to many industry problems, . both those of the TV and the movie businesses. The cost of good TV shows is ex-tremely high, and many of even the richest advertisers are hedging a little on it. Perhaps sale of tick-ets can defray this. Yet the cost of this show must have been great, too. In ia business report of the performance, the Wall Street Journal stated that the microwave facilities cost $130 per mile per hour, so with the theatre network covering thousands of miles, and a three hour show, someone must have forked over a pretty penny for this item alone. During the intermission, we were treated to back-stag- e interviews with Mr. Bing, boss of the Met, Mrs. August Belmont, its noted there, he received word that the beacon at Milford was out. So Ray burned up the road to Milford and got the guiding light there back in running order by night-fall. Then he headed for home in his panel truck, only to have the generator belt break so that he had to run without the heater in order to save juice. Opposite Clear Lake, on that lonesome road, his truck had a flat tire. Result, Ray home from the day's work by 6:30 a.m., cold anl tired. Larry Mijares has been trans-ferred to Kansas City. He left, with his family, for his new station re-cently. Frederick Baker and his son, Carl, took off for Los Angeles Friday merning in their on a weekend trip to combine business and a visit with his mother, Mrs. Gertrude Baker, at Inglewood. His flight plan was reported closed at Hawthorne Airport at 1515 the same day. Fred and Carl, were scheduled to return early this week. Tex Searle and Bob Nichols got themselves beautifully dunked in icy water while hunting west of Hinckley last week. The third member of their party, Kennard Riding, stayed on top of the ice. The number of ducks bagged, if any, was not reported. There are a couple of other items concerning the redoubtable Mr. Nichols which must not go unnoted this week. First, he was given a certificate of commenda-tion by A. S. Marriott for suggest-ing that superfluous information on bid messages be deleted.
