I“It is worse in New York, where!;you find the young actors who are; interested in Broadway,” said; j Miss Brooks. “They used-to be1 able to pick up occasiopal televi- * sion acting jobs. Now, if they! want to work near Broadway;j they work at tie counters and in! bookshops.”The television employment problem is even worse than Miss Brooks suspects. Martin Begley, NBC-TV casting director, says there are fewer acting jobs this year than in his previous nine years on the job.When television was growing up, New York was the mecca of all the young people who wanted to get started in the theater. Today, Begley says, he has at least 10,000 names in his acting files— and doesn’t have a live show to' cast for a month.***•••• .“There is more work to be had on the coast,” Begley says. “But the supply is much, much greater than the demand.”The gradual disappearance of the live television show, Begley says, is largely an economic one. Stars and producers like to make film shows because they can make extra money from re-runs.FOR THE FINEST. . j •i -Bebb's Flowersowned by a number of museums and private collectors.

Full-lengthmusical histories, biogrn-p h i e s, textbooks, dictionaries and critic a 1 commentaries — every season they swell the book lists. The number of magazines devoted almost exclusively to music has the high-fidelity field. And a great many magazines of general interest have established regular depart-ments of music news or record reviews.All this—in spite of the recognized fact that music is one of the most difficult things in the world to put into words. Even the elusive subject of jazz has several high-quality magazines all its own—includ- s ing some published in England, France, Germany and Italy.It’s valuable, of course, for the musician or music lover to absorb as much of this writing as he can. But remember, words cannot replace the music itself. We are reminded of the remark of a busy music teacher of our acquaintance. Asked whether she had read a certain new book about music, she said, “No ... I wish I could keep up with the new books, but I need all my spare time for reading new music.’*Most music lovers, when they’re not making music, will choose to listen to music. And . whether it’s background for reading or conversation, or serious matter for concentrated listening . . . they’ll enjoy music more when it’s reproduced through a fine Columbia Iligh Fidelity system.
