Three television cameras and a
bank of microphones were ar-

the extraordinary equipment, the
performance did not appear to
vary an iota from carder, non-

some actors later confessed to a
bit of opening night nerves.
ROCHKSTER, N.Y. (AP) -
Broadway's venture into the rela-
tive unknown of ctosefbdrcuit tel-
evision may be headed for suc-
cess,' hut most agree thai there's
no business like live show busi-
ness.
Through the medium of "Thea-
tervision,” a near-eapaoity aud-
ience of 2,500 at the Rochester
Auditorium Theater saw Paddy
Chayefsky's latest Broadway of-
fering, ''Gideon,” at the same
time that the New York company
was giving its regular evening
performance at the Plymouth
Theater.
If the backers of the closed-
circuit promotion find it success-
ful, the system will be extended
to 180 cities in the U.S. and Can-,
ada by next year. • - I
It was a near-capacity turnout
—unusual for a midweek perform-
ance—at the Plymouth Theater
where the audience payed from
$3 to $7.50 to watch. An airplane
hour away here in Rochester, the
house was scaled from $1.50 to $3
for viewing on the 15-by-20 foot
screen.

sweet sorrow and some acrimony,
other comedy teams have risen
but none has quite taken their
place.
Two youthful song-and-rhuckle
merchants who do have that goal
very much in mind are Steve
Rossi and Marty Allen.
Since they joined three years
agot they have been slowly ma-
turing their act in night club ap-
pearances here and in England,
and their comic catch phrase,
“Hello dere!” has caught on with
some success.
Their financial rating has gone
up, too. Their annual earnings are
in the six-figure hracket.
Steve, the singer, is tall, dark
and handsome. He hails from
Pittsburgh, and bears up well un-

said.
"Some people who have become

They haven’t even learned how to
