Light's Jubilee
To Be Broadcast
Four T-V Networks
To Carry Spectacular
Victor Young, noted composer
and conductor, will be musical di-
rector of “Light's Diamond Jubilee,”
it has been announced by
David O. Selznick, producer of the
two-hour four-network television
spectacular to be broadcast on Octo-
ber 24 as the climax of this year’s
celebration of the 75th anniversary
of Edison’s invention of the elec-
tric light.
. Young will compose a complete
original musical score for the show,
Selznick said, and he will have
charge of all musical arrangements
for the program. He will also con-
duct a large orchestra which will be
especially assembled for the show.
In announcing the signing of
Young, Selznick made it clear that
“Light's Diamond Jubilee” will not
be predominently a musical show.
However, he said that he still can-
not divulge the nature of the pro-
gram, which has been called ‘“the
best kept secret in Hollywood.”
Prior to today’s announcement,
Selznick had revealed that both
Helen Hayes and Joseph (Cotten
have been signed for the show.
‘Casting is in its final stages, Selz-
nick said, and he expects to an-
nounce the signing of a number of
" other top-flight stars in the very
near future.
In addition to Young, Selznick
will have at least two other great
names on his side of the television
cameras when “Light's Diamond
Jubilee” is broadcast on October 24.
Ben Hecht, noted author and
dramatist, arrived in Hollywood
earlier this week for conferences
with Selznick and to put the fin-
ishing touches on the master script
of the show.
King Vidor, the director whose
film credits include great pictures
all the way back to “The Big
Parade,” will make his television
debut as director of an important
section of ‘Light's Diamond Hubi-
lee.”
Some 300 companies and organ-
izations of the electrical industries
throughout the country are cele-
brating the 75 years of electrical
progress that started with Edison’s
. invention of the electric light. That
celebration reaches a climax on
October 24 with the broadcast of
“Light’s Diamond Jubilee” over 310
interconnected stations, the largest
network in television history.
Selznick will make his television
debut with the show, which is ex-
pected to be the biggest spectacular
in a season of spectaculars. Both
Cotten and Vidor, who are with
him on this show, were also. with
him in ‘Duel in the Sun,” the big-
gest grossing outdoor film in the
history of motion pictures. Cotten
also appeared in “Since You Went
among many others, and Vidor was
the director of such film classics as
“Street Scene,” “Billy the Kid” and
“The Citadel.”
Young has a long string of out-
standing movie scores to his credit,
among them ‘For Whom the Bell
Tolls” and “The Quiet Man.” His
song, ‘My Foolish Heart,” is an
all-time popular favorite.
