TV Theater Misses Only Twice In 7 Years
The Chronicle-Telegram notes Kraft Television Theater’s long run with a sparse 1950s TV lineup. It cites only about 42,000 U.S. sets and nine attractions on three New York outlets the day, while the program’s live stage stock dwindles from 29 original productions to adaptations. It highlights 24 million sets by 1954 and 1,500 actresses with 797 actors used in seven years, totaling 3,769 roles and ongoing reliance on old plays when new scripts are scarce.
