Page 10 SUNDAY STAR-BULLETIN With the advent of a brand new video season across the nation during the next few weeks- bringing new faces and places to TV screens- Hawaii stands ready to bring its scenic sites to the attention of the world's televiewers. CBS' new action series, "Hawaii Five-0," featuring many of the Islands' own actors and actresses along with star Jack Lord, is one of the first major TV programs filmed entirely in the Island chain. Of the many beautiful and historic spots available as background for "Hawaii Five-0," none is more awe-inspiring or impressive than Iolani Palace. Within its walls live memories of the monarchy, pomp and pageantry of old Hawaii.

Iolani Palace holds a special place in U.S. annals for it's the only royal palace in the country. Yesterday it housed Hawaii's royal families; today the palace contains legislators' offices and those of the State government's executive branch. In "Hawaii Five-0" (starring Jack Lord), which has its premiere on the CBS network the latter part of the month, the palace also houses the "Five-0" state investigation unit. On Saturdays, when the official business of the state of Hawaii tapers off a bit, the "Hawaii Five-0" cast and crew often moves onto the grounds to set up shop for another episode, with permission granted by Hawaii's Governor John Burns.

Iolani Palace (Iolani means "bird of was built during the reign of King Kalakaua, the Merry Monarch. It was completed in 1882. King Kalakaua lived in it until his death in 1891. His sister, Queen Liliuokalani, also lived there until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893. Subsequently she was held partial prisoner in the second-floor room for nine months for alleged involvement in an uprising.

The palace is open to the public. Particularly interesting to visitors is the Throne Room, where the State House of Representatives convenes. Here Hawaiian royalty received guests and provided elegant entertainContinued on Page 13 Progress in TV Production continued from page 6 through much the same kind of development today. One new concept for TV pictures in the home demonstrated recently is a TV picture display system that uses a laser beam scanned by ultrasonic waves to produce a wall-size television picture. This is an experiment, but our laser TV system gives us a dramatic look into what may be expected in the future.

Another approach to the large screen TV displays of the future may utilize new kinds of solid-state devices to produce picture-window size, mural color TV. Scientists are also experimenting on the challenging frontier of 3-D techniques. The TV programming that may be in store for the future can be as broad and varied in scope as Broadway and first-run movie theater marquees. Subscription TV, now being considered for approval by the Federal Communications Commission, is perfected and has been thoroughly tested in actual use. With the hope for an FCC green light, this system can present new motion pictures and other premium events, at low cost and without countless interruptions and put front row center seats for these features right in front of your own TV set.

The 50's and 60's have seen great strides in scientific knowledge. As we come near the start of a new decade there is a level of research and an appreciation for the scientist and his work that is unparalleled. As a result, we can expect the years ahead to bring us the greatest harvest of new products in our industry's history. The many years of development of black-and-white and color TV including the major cooperative effort of the entire industry working together as a National Television System Committee to develop the present compatible color system -is only a prelude to the exciting developments we can look forward to in the years ahead.
