'im Iry fiYN CONNEULT T HERE is a Strange turn in the rivalry between television and movies these days ... As TV quality increased, so did the mov ies; then the movies went a step further and decided to make screen spectaculars of 3%-4 hours long ... So television decided to do 90-minute plays for the first time ... 90 minutes used to be the length of an average film playing the country . . . We still prefer its length ... It has made a world, of difference in TV plays, especi ally on tiie new “Playhouse 90’’. Since the program started this fall we have yet to see one bad play . . . Most of them have been outstanding with really meaty characterizations . . . Noteworthy are the performances of Jack Pal- ance as the punchy fighter who is through in the ring but can't do anything else for a living, and the one of Ralph Bellamy as the hard- driving tycoon who made his for tune on the blood of others and who struggles to save his business for his sons, neither of whom have any interest in it . . . The plays were powerful, the acting superb ... So both TV and movies have increased the length and quality . . . what comes next? PLATTER CHATTER CAPITOL:—It was little more than a decade ago that Frank Si natra was the swoon king just as Elvis Presley is today . . . Like Presley, Frankie suffered through the critics' scorn . . . “He won’t last,” “he has no voice,” etc. were some of the more common re marks. Today, Frankie is the hottest act in show business . . . He has proved that he does have a voice and It’s better than ever . New singers constantly seek to emulate his style, and—in addition, he is a terrific actor . . All of which brings us to his latest album, “This Is Sinatra!” A real must, with Frank doing all the songs he popularized along the road to the top. ■\X7HEN I returned to my home ' ’ town for a visit after a few years I looked at the sleepy rail road station with the strange feel ing of never having been away. Bin Harper, the ticket agent, shook my hand and began pointing out the changes: modernized store fronts, a new traffic light, some freshly planted trees. Then he said casuaDy, “Another big change, too—Laura Wade’s married. Fel low named Paul Shephard—just moved in a year ago.” “No!” I was amazed. She had been crazy about Carl Reed. He was a real catch. The expensive presents he used to bring Laura had been the talk of the town. I knew Carl well, having worked as his assistant when he took over the factory that practically fed the town. He was a tall, good-looking man with a driving manner that everybody admired. But person ally I’d never cared for him. I’d felt that there was buried deep in him a Certain coldness, a lack of feeling. At any rate, he was a fine efficiency expert and had im proved production with time studies and elimination of waste. “Paul’s just a plain guy,” Biff continued. “Nothing like CarL Works as a clerk and makes sixty bucks a week.” At my hotel I was determined to get to the bottom of the mys tery. I gave Laura a call, and she invited me out to meet Paul. Laura’s greeting was a pleasant surprise, for our long-standing friendship had suddenly cooled when I had expressed my lack of enthusiasm for Carl Reed. She led me into a small, inex pensively furnished living room. Paul, she told me, had not yet come home from work. “He’s wonderful,” she said softly. And then suddenly, “You were right about Carl, you know. You and I are probably the only ones in town who know the coldness be hind that genial front.” , I stared at her, wondering what was coming. “One afternoon Carl’s mother asked me to tea. When I stopped to hang my coat in the hall closet, I noticed it was filled with packages—all marked with my name. Also a date: birthday, Christmas, engagement anniversary—with a notation as to contents. One had an expen sive shawl, another a bracelet.” Laura’s eyes were cold. “All Carl had to do was reach in and pick out a package for the right date when it arrived . . . The efficient Romeo!” At that moment Paul walked in—a more ordinary guy I’ve never seen. “Heard a lot about you.” He grasped my hand and then handea Laura a small flor ist’s box. She took out a bunch of violets with a gasp of delight. “Darling, what a lovely surprise!” “I coludn’t resist them,” he said, smiling. “They’re the color of your eyes.” On her way to the kitchen for a vase, she paused, gave me a wink, and murmured. “Flowers and love are perishable—they can’t be stored in closets.” THE BAFFLES By Mahoney 1 LAFF OF THE WEEK Mwm mf DlSfDE-iGROUND PARKING garage in Stockholm, 'Sweden, showing two levels in this vast dual-pur pose civil defense shelter which can accommodate 10,000 persons.

Open-faced hamburgers are easily made. Simply spread bun halves with mustard, then spread on seasoned hamburger all the way to the edge. Broil until done. If you’re making ham loaf out of leftovers, give it a dress-up treatment by studding with red cherries, brown sugar and whole cloves. It’s wonderful for flavor, too.
