We looked at that big Park Forest event on Saturday, and I'm not sure anything else is going to compare to that today. You may have noticed, however, if you're an observant viewer of these Chicagoland editions, that we have a new station in the lineup: WTTW, the educational station. It began a two-days-a-week test schedule on Monday, with programs being broadcast between 4:00 and 10:00 p.m. every Monday and Friday while its permanent studio is being constructed. They're expecting to go to a full 30-hours-per-week schedule in the fall. So you can't say these little news items aren't educational.

I had forgotten how certain movies were labeled "melodrama" back then. That word has dropped from our vocabulary. Today we call these movies "noir".
