by Chet Curtiss Since its inception March 3, '58 WICB-TV has been airing pro grams over Ithaca’s Community Cable System for one hour each night Monday through Friday. There has now been a slight change in broadcasting hours for Ithaca’s first local television outlet. Wednes day and Thursday are the two nights that have been affected. WICB-TV will be on the air from 7:30 to 9:00 o’clock Wednesday night and from 8:00 to 8:30 on Thursday, so as not to interrupt the CBS Television production of “Climax.” Starting tonight at 7:30 the film “Industry on Parade” will be shown. The program for the 7:45 slot is to be announced. At 8:00 o'clock, the pros and cons of medical hypnosis will be discussed on “Controversy”, and at 8:30, Mr. Charles Friedman will introduce a film on the federal reserve system on “How's Business.” The Cornell University Women’s Glee Club will be featured Thursday night at 8:00 on “Tempo”. Friday night, May 2nd, Community Spotlight presents “The Sa rvoyards”, a Gilbert and Sullivan troup in a presentation of the Second Act of “Princess Ida.” “Princess Ida” is a satire on the narrative poem by Tennyson which tells of a princess who scorns mankind, but is eventually won over by a handsome prince. Featured in the cast will be: Alice Bernstein as Princess Ida; Jack Sarratt as Prince Hilarion and Forbes Hill as King Hildebrand. The show is the first attempt at live drama for the WICB television studios and promises to be very worthwhile. “Princess Ida” was pro duced and will be directed by Mr. Wilbert J. Richter, a member of the WICB-TV and radio faculty. Chet Curtis and crew dish up another half-hour of fun and music for the entire family Monday night at 8:00 o’clock.
