Battle of Monocles. In the third Covent Garden, designed 100 years ago by Architect Edward Barry, the fires have been artistic or temperamental, set by such prima donnas as Giulia Grisi, Nellie Melba, Emma Albani. In the '90s, Adelina Patti, who imperiously ignored rehearsals, once filled the stage with detectives disguised as supers to guard her diamonds. Famed Manager Augustus Harris made Covent Garden London's choicest nightspot for rich and royal patrons who came to monocle each other-and protested violently when he doused the house lights during performances...

Murrow's See It Now will include reports on Marian Anderson's upcoming tour of the Orient, the statehood problem of Alaska and Hawaii, and the rebirth of German industry. Songbird Patti Page will be involved in "a new TV concept" called The Big Record, a guest-laden paean to the recording industry. CBS will ride the range with Have Gun, Will Travel, bring over England's top-seeded commercial show, Assignment Foreign Legion, with Merle Oberon, and cast Eve Arden...
