7:30 YOU ARE THERE "Discovery of Radium." 7 2 Philosopher Is Blamed for Rise of TV Quiz Shows! BY LARRY WOLTERS Radio, IV Editor Television Note This is the way the Canadian comedians, Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster, work out those involved sketches that appear periodically on Ed Sullivan's CBS hour, to quote Wayne: Once we get an idea, we let it play around in our minds before we draft a rough script. If we like that script, we proceed to polish it; if we don't like it, we discard it. Then when we go into rehearsals, we revise constantly until it barely resembles the original draft. JACK GAVER A Pi 4h remain dormant for another year or so without his benefitting. AFTER that, he added, his rights revert in full to Take It or Leave It, in which he says he has a one-third interest.

Cranford figures that in a year or two the quiz mess will be forgotten and he can sell his show all over again. He has put a cost accountant to work to safeguard his rights to all programs stemming from the original." He also has lawyers inquiring as to whether he may recover damages on a complaint that his format was impaired by the fixing scandals. "We feel we have been done damage," he said, "but we don't' know whom to sue.M Whether any of James' relatives have made any claim is not known. William James brother Henry or nis descendants would seem to have a clearer claim on television. Brother Henry's "The Wings of the Dove" has been telecast and last fall his "The Turn of the Screw was adapted for TV and used as a vehicle for Ingrid Bergman's television premier.

ILLINOIS BELL Hiatal presents a James: It's possible. Cranford: Blames James. its TV adaptations. In the TV heyday, he was pulling in upwards of $50,000 a year. He said that he has been collecting right along until the end of the last year.

Under his contracts the various shows he devised may THRU a strange manner of reasoning, the fault for the quiz shows has been traced back to William James, the American philosopher and psychologist. James died way back in 1910 before even the Russians had thought of inventing television. The guy who credits the philosopher with inspiring the quiz is Dr. Peter Cranford, a psychologist practicing in Atlanta, Ga. Here's Cranford's story: During the depression years, he was having a tough time earning a living since there wTas little business for psychologists who charged for their services.

Cranford had plenty of time to read William James and one day fell across his premise that anything is possible with enough effort. RANFORD began speculating on what he would like to have become possible for him. He settled on making a million dollars. Actually he made about a quarter million out of quizzes and probably would have made the whole sum if Charlie Van Doren hadn't come along and ruined it all for him. Times were bad back, in the early thirties," Cranford recalled, "and capital was hard to come by.

So 1 realized that if I was going to make my million I'd have to do it without money. I picked the entertainment field as the most logical place to start." Cranford studied all kinds of games, including those of chance, and he came up with the Double Your Money quiz as a "kind of crap game of the air." All the big money give-aways appear to be legatees of this format. HOWEVER, his original program, said Cranford, was first heard on network radio as Take It or Leave it In 1940. It was later broadcast as Double or Nothing. In the beginning the first question was worth $1 If correctly answered.

The quizzee could work up as "high as $64 with luck. Emcees thru the year were Bob Hawk, Phil Baker, Eddie Cantor, and Jack Paar. By 1955 The $64,000 Question had grown out of the $64 question. A sequel was the $64,000 Challenge. Cranford estimated the other day that he collected $225,000 from his original Double or Nothing show and FRAN ALLISON SUNDAY RADIO PROGRAMS lH Carney's Brother Bill SHOW CHICAGO FREQUENCIES SPECIAL RADIO EVENT 8:00 p.
