[Today / ‘THE BOY FROM OKLAHOMA’ come up with something that many big time sponsors will welcome. That is a paradox because Family Theater is strictly non-commercial and depends mostly on prayers and chari- table souls to keep going. IT WAS AllARRANGE!.. The unique Hollywood or- ¦SSBa ganization has made a series of one-minute filmed television spots wherein actors, portray- ing great figures in history, emote historical and pray- erful moments in the lives of these personages. For instance, the old-time silent star, Lois Moran, will portray Queen Victoria. Even Karl Marx will be depicted. His quotes, however, will be quickly countered' by Thomas Jefferson on the same film. Why will big commercial sponsors welcome these in- spirational station breaks? Here’s what a top-notch ad- vertising agency man said: “Big television buyers like Colgate, who spend SIOO,OOO a week on shows, resent other advertisers coming along for the ride by inserting one minute commercials between breaks in such shows as the Comedy Hour. “The big sponsors buy the best in talent and then have their whole audience captured by a reducing pill during the station break.” "We won’t mind if the time (controlled by individual sta- tions) is given over to pro- mote a worthy cause.” St. John's College To Release Movie Special Dhpatch to The Star ANNAPOLIB.
