00:00Back on What's My Line?
00:06I've Got A Secret, starring Gary Moore.
00:24Thank you very much and good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:26Welcome to another edition of I've Got A Secret.
00:28And we're starting tonight under somewhat of a handicap for a couple of reasons.
00:33Number one is that we don't know who our first contestant is going to be.
00:37That is bad enough, but it goes further than that.
00:40Our first contestant, be it a he or a she, does not yet know that he or she is going to be our first contestant.
00:47This is an experiment I've wanted to try for a number of years and finally we're getting around to it.
00:52You will notice, by the way, that the panel is not here at the moment.
00:55They're offstage in our traditional soundproof booth.
00:58They don't know any of the things I'm saying now.
01:00They don't know what's going on.
01:02I have here a hand microphone and I'm going to wander out onto colorful 47th Street, on which our theater is located,
01:08and just find out who's walking down the street and if I can snag somebody and talk them into coming in on our stage.
01:14They're going to be our first contestant.
01:17Their secret, of course, will be that I dragged them in off the street and they don't know what the heck is going on.
01:22So we'll be locked as we go out on 47th Street now and see who's passing through the night.
01:27Frank, you want to bring camera three behind me?
01:29Let's fly the board, please.
01:31Now, this is backstage and here you see some of the contestants who you will later meet on the show,
01:38their friends, their relatives, and some of our co-workers.
01:41You will also see as we go along some of the scenery that has been stacked up here in readiness to be used on my daytime program tomorrow morning.
01:50The black doors that you see just ahead of you are the doors that lead outside.
01:55It's a very cold night in New York tonight.
01:57It's about 15 degrees.
01:58That's why I have my overcoat on.
02:00So let's open the doors and go out and see who we can find out on the street.
02:03Now, fellas can you throw a couple of sandbags against those doors there so we can have them open?
02:11Well, here we are out on 47th Street.
02:13This gentleman over here in the black hat, will you come talk to me for a moment, please?
02:18Hello.
02:19What's your name?
02:20John Gage.
02:21John Gage.
02:22G-A-G-E.
02:23Where are you from, Mr. Gage?
02:24New York City.
02:24New York City?
02:25Where were you on your way to?
02:27Just walking over towards Broadway.
02:28Just walking towards Broadway, just seeing the sights, huh?
02:30Yes, sir.
02:31Have you ever heard of a program called I've Got a Secret?
02:34Yes, I have.
02:35You have?
02:35Ever heard of a fellow by the name of Gary Moore?
02:37I think he is Gary Moore.
02:39Hey, I love you.
02:40I was afraid if nobody would know who it was.
02:42Would you like to be on television?
02:44Why, no, no.
02:45Not for nothing.
02:46Well, you can win as high as $80, you know.
02:49No, I'd rather not.
02:50You'd rather not win $80?
02:52Well, that's all right with me.
02:53Thank you, sir.
02:53Now, let me see.
02:54This young gentleman over here.
02:55No?
02:56Young gentleman over here doesn't want to make it.
02:57How about the young fellow wearing the cap down here?
03:00He says no.
03:01He doesn't want to do it.
03:02Hi.
03:03Well, look who's here.
03:04Hi, buddy.
03:05Hi.
03:05How are you?
03:05So nice to see you.
03:06What's your name?
03:07Jose, sir.
03:08Jose, huh?
03:09Yeah.
03:09Jose, how old are you?
03:1114.
03:1114.
03:1215.
03:12Where are you on your way to?
03:13Uh, to a show.
03:14To a show?
03:15You want to see a show?
03:16Yeah.
03:16I got a great show for you to see.
03:18Have you heard a show called I Got a Secret?
03:19Yeah.
03:20On television?
03:21Uh-huh.
03:21Do you know who I am?
03:22Yeah.
03:22You do?
03:23All right, Link Letters.
03:24Do you know me?
03:25You want to see a television?
03:27Yeah.
03:27Sure, come on in.
03:28Come on in.
03:29See, now we have got ourselves a contestant.
03:31Now, what is your name?
03:32Jose Perez.
03:33Jose Perez.
03:34Yeah.
03:34And you are from New York, are you, Jose?
03:36Right from down the block.
03:37Oh, I see.
03:38Oh, you're one of the neighborhood guys, huh?
03:39Yeah, I'm between Jose Perez.
03:40Oh, I see.
03:40Well, good.
03:41Oh, half the backstage crew are old buddies here.
03:43You ever been on the stage before?
03:45Once before.
03:45Doing what?
03:46Uh, used to sing.
03:47Used to sing?
03:48Uh-huh.
03:49Hey, good boy.
03:50That's fine.
03:50Where do you go to school?
03:51Uh, I don't go to school right now.
03:53Oh, you're making two years.
03:55Oh, you are?
03:55Well, now, look.
03:56Click the hair down, Knight, because in a moment, you're going to meet your audience here.
03:59You're going to meet your audience.
04:01And here are 600 people who are most anxious to meet you.
04:03This is our first impression.
04:04Now, Jose, you're not nervous, aren't you?
04:14Sure you're not.
04:15You'll get over it.
04:16After a couple of minutes, you'll have a nervous breakdown.
04:18Will you do me a favor, Jose?
04:20You take my coat and this muffler, and then you go backstage, and there'll be somebody back
04:24there waiting for you, and they'll tell you what you're supposed to do, okay?
04:27Jose Perez, our first contestant.
04:34Now, having found ourselves a contestant, the next thing to find is a panel, so if you'll
04:39send a panel, please, in from their padded room outside.
04:43Only three of our regular panel members are here tonight.
04:45Miss Faye Emerson is still on her vacation, but we have a magnificent...
04:49What did you say?
04:51Well, I'll tell her that she said that.
04:54We feel exactly the same way about it.
04:57Uh, all right, now, let's meet our panel.
05:00Hey, wow, this is James.
05:02James, James, James.
05:04Now, here are three of your old buddies.
05:12To begin with, there is Bill Cullen, and there is Jane Meadows, and there is Henry Morgan.
05:18Now, Henry, Jane, and Bill, would you please all move down one seat?
05:22Move to your right one seat, please, if you will.
05:24Because we're searching about for a replacement for the vacationing Faye Emerson, we have picked
05:30a typical New York housewife, Mrs. Bill Cullen.
05:34You've met your husband, Bill, I presume.
05:45Bill, this is Anne.
05:48Pleasure, sir.
05:48I think it's nice that you all are so chummy and know each other.
05:52All right, now then, that we have gotten our panel rigged, let's get our first contestant
05:57in here, please.
05:57Will you come in?
05:58Now then, will you tell the panel, please, what your name is and where you're from?
06:08I'm Jose Perez, I live, I'm resident at 324 West 47th Street.
06:13Jose Perez, and he is from New York City.
06:16Now, Jose, there are a whole lot of rules here I could explain to you, but then you'd
06:18only understand what it's about, and there's no sense in doing that.
06:21So, you whisper your secret to me, at the same time, we'll show it to the folks at home.
06:25All right, now, to start the questioning, we will say that this is something that happened
06:39to Mr. Perez, to Jose, and we'll start with Bill Cullen, please.
06:42How are you, sir?
06:44Good.
06:44Huh?
06:45Yeah.
06:47Was this a physical thing that happened to you, Mr. Perez?
06:50Mm-hmm.
06:51Was it unfavorable as opposed to favorable?
06:55No, it was favorable as opposed to unfavorable, he said.
06:59Uh, was it done by another person?
07:02Uh.
07:05Was this other person of the opposite gender as opposed to the same gender?
07:09Or favorable as opposed to unfavorable?
07:14Jose says he got him confused.
07:16No, he was not a member of the opposite sex.
07:18$20 down to you, Jose, things are looking up, huh?
07:21$20 down and $60 to go, and we go to Jane Meadows.
07:25Jose, would we know this person that did this thing to you?
07:28Oh, sure.
07:30It's a famous person, then?
07:32Could be.
07:33Could be.
07:35Is this man in show business?
07:38Sure.
07:38Is he in television?
07:43Is he on the stage tonight?
07:46Is he on the stage tonight?
07:47Mm-hmm.
07:48Yes, he is.
07:49Can you talk a little louder, Jose?
07:50Yes, he is.
07:51That's fine, boys.
07:51Is he sitting next to you?
07:54Yes, he is.
07:55All right, that's $40 down, $40 to go, and we go to Henry Morgan.
08:00However, this is something that happened to Jose, not something that happened to me.
08:03I am involved.
08:04Henry?
08:05Jose, this is something...
08:07That's the only time I've ever got a laugh out of saying...
08:13Is something Gary did to you?
08:17Yes.
08:18Did he mean to do it?
08:20Mm-hmm.
08:21Oh, yeah.
08:22And it was pleasant?
08:24Mm-hmm.
08:24He said so.
08:25Was that recently?
08:28Uh-huh.
08:28Was it on the air?
08:30Uh-huh.
08:30Yes?
08:31Yes, it was.
08:32It was on the air.
08:33All right, $60 down.
08:34You having a good time?
08:35$60 down and $20 to go, and we go to Ann Cullen, please.
08:40All right, Bill.
08:41We'll help you.
08:42I gave her the first word.
08:43Go ahead.
08:43All right.
08:44Hello.
08:46I'm fairly confused.
08:49Uh, this happened on your show, your morning show.
08:51Is that right?
08:52No.
08:53No?
08:55What?
08:55Did it happen on this show?
08:57It happened on this show, yes.
08:58Did it happen recently?
09:00Yes.
09:02Hmm.
09:03Did it happen tonight?
09:04Yeah, it is.
09:07Did you take your nose out of her permanent weave and let her talk to herself?
09:12What?
09:12Uh, this happened just before the show tonight.
09:15Great answer.
09:15Hmm.
09:15No, it didn't happen before the show.
09:18On the air.
09:23It didn't happen while we were waiting outside.
09:26Yes, sir.
09:26He doesn't know that, but it did.
09:27It happened, uh, because he wasn't aware of it.
09:29Um, it happened while you all were waiting outside.
09:31Ask him, ask him how much he's going to get there.
09:35How much is he going to get?
09:36He's going to get the full $80.
09:38How much is Dan going to get?
09:39Oh, how much is Dan going to get?
09:40You want 10%?
09:43Yeah.
09:44No, do you, as her agent?
09:45You have won a complete $80.
09:47Do you know what your secret is?
09:48Yes.
09:49What is your secret?
09:50I was dragged in from the street.
10:00While you all are waiting out in the soundproof booth, I went out on 47th Street with a microphone,
10:07caught one man who apparently shouldn't have been there because he wouldn't come in,
10:10and I saw a lot of fellows who were standing around watching but looking at me saying,
10:14not me, and I also saw Jose who was on his way to a show.
10:18Now, Jose, you have your choice.
10:20You can go take your $80 and go on to the show.
10:23In fact, you can buy the show if you want to,
10:25or you can go down here in the studio audience and see the rest of this show.
10:28Which would you rather do?
10:29I'd rather see the rest of this show.
10:31All right, fine.
10:33Jose?
10:36You told me you were 15.
10:37That's a little too young, in my opinion, to be smoking,
10:39but for your father, your uncle, or your relatives or friends,
10:43there's a carton of Winston cigarettes and your money,
10:45and thanks a lot.
10:46You were a 12-year contestant.
10:50Stay tuned.
10:55There's more Black and White Sunday night.
10:57I would now like you to meet our next contestant, please.
11:07Now, Sergeant, pull in real close.
11:08Leslie, can you move a little bit?
11:10That's a boy.
11:11We have to kind of slunch up.
11:13Now, Sergeant, first of all, tell the folks I'm going,
11:15I'm a little rank happy.
11:16I'll take you first.
11:17What is your name and where are you from?
11:19James Clawson, Abbott, Massachusetts.
11:21This is Sergeant Clawson.
11:22You have a lot of sergeants in the audience tonight, huh?
11:28And how about you, young fella?
11:31Private Leslie Smith from Cleveland, Ohio.
11:33Leslie Smith.
11:37All right.
11:38Now, gentlemen, if you will whisper your secret to me,
11:40it comes in two parts.
11:41Again, we'll take the sergeant first.
11:42And so...
11:49I will tell you this, panelist,
11:59this secret concerns and experience which they shared.
12:03And Ann, Cullen, we're so glad to have you with us tonight.
12:06I'm going to start with you again.
12:07That's not fair.
12:08We don't get to see you grew up.
12:10That's the only thing to me.
12:11It's not fair.
12:14What do I say?
12:15It's an experience they shared.
12:17Was this a pleasant experience?
12:19Sergeant, pleasant experience?
12:21No, it wasn't.
12:21No.
12:22It wasn't really good at work.
12:23Does it have to do with your work?
12:26Have to do with the way you make your living?
12:28Yes.
12:28Yes, I think so, that one.
12:29Hmm.
12:33Are you paratroopers?
12:35Are you paratroopers?
12:36Yes.
12:37Yes.
12:38Do you think I'm kidding?
12:39Yeah.
12:39Bill's eyesight is very good.
12:41You can see the paratrooper package on them.
12:43I see.
12:43What is right?
12:44All right.
12:44There are paratroopers, Ann.
12:48Uh...
12:48Did someone's suit not open?
12:51Pardon?
12:52Did someone's suit not open?
12:54Did someone's...
12:55You answered that last?
12:58Yes.
12:58Yes, someone's suit did not open.
13:00There is $20 down and $60 to go.
13:04And we're going now to Bill Cullen.
13:06Now, Ann, you whispered at him.
13:07All right.
13:10Uh...
13:11Then why are you here?
13:12Jane, call them a kind of wet browns.
13:18The questions must be answerable by yes or no.
13:21Well, if somebody's chute did not open, obviously, something is amiss because ordinary...
13:25Did both chutes not open?
13:28Because they usually wear a safety chute.
13:31Did neither chute open of this one whose chute did not open?
13:34Did neither of the chutes open of the person whose chute did not open?
13:38Just one of them did not open.
13:42Did the other one...
13:44The other one did not open.
13:47The other man...
13:48It's impossible, but I'll take a stab at the other one.
13:50The one who did not open as the other one...
13:52I could press on and be terribly technical and make you guess who caught who, but I didn't get to come...
14:03I know that from the audience reaction.
14:05The sergeant's reaction...
14:06The sergeant...
14:07There was a...
14:09When the sergeant was announced, and then there was a heroic clapping when the private was announced.
14:13So they both missed each other.
14:14Oh!
14:16Well, exactly what happened is that they were...
14:18What's the name of your base again, please, sergeant?
14:21Fort Kimmel, Kentucky.
14:22Fort Kimmel, Kentucky.
14:24And Leslie and the sergeant jumped out of the plane simultaneously, one from...
14:29Each from a different side.
14:30And how high were you, Leslie?
14:32About a thousand feet.
14:33About a thousand feet.
14:34And things happen awful fast there.
14:35And the sergeant's parachute did not open.
14:38And he plunged through the shrouds, the suspension lines, on Leslie's parachute.
14:45And Leslie grabbed hold of him and held him, actually held onto the lines of his parachute.
14:50And the two of them floated to the ground on the strength of your parachute.
14:53Is that right?
14:54Mm-hmm.
15:02Leslie?
15:04You ever hear of a fellow by the name of Frank L. Lausche?
15:07Yes, I have.
15:08He's the governor of your state, isn't he?
15:09Yes.
15:10I have a telegram that came to you in our chair.
15:13I hope you'll forgive me if I read it.
15:14It says, your act of heroism has made all Ohio proud of you.
15:19Congratulations and best wishes, Frank L. Lausche, governor.
15:24So...
15:28Had you met Leslie before the jump?
15:32Did you all know each other?
15:33Yes, I know him before and then.
15:35You were awfully glad to meet him again, I imagine.
15:36Yes, I know.
15:38Well, you fellas are obviously old enough to smoke, so I'm going to give you both a carton
15:42of Winston cigarettes, and although you only won $40, I'm sure the producers of our show
15:46would not want me to do anything else but forfeit the entire amount to you, so 80 bucks
15:50for you and there's two cartons again.
15:53Leslie is 19 years old and the sergeant is 22, and he wouldn't have got lives to be 23
16:08had it not been for Leslie.
16:10Now then, panel, I hate to put you through all this exercise, but again, you must go
16:14to the soundproof booth because we have things to discuss while you are out.
16:18Don't go too far away.
16:19We're going to need you in somewhat of a hurry.
16:21Leslie, 40 years ago...
16:22Tonight, I have the really rare privilege of introducing a gentleman who is a fine actor,
16:26a great director, and a brilliant man, all rolled into one.
16:30And because he is all rolled into one, he is in perfect shape to play the part of a man
16:35very much like King Farouk in his latest picture called Abdullah's Harem.
16:39It's a real privilege to introduce Mr. Gregory Rathoff.
16:42Now, sir, you tell the folks what you're going to do tonight, huh?
16:54In which way?
16:56Any way you choose.
16:57Well, I am here to plug my teacher.
17:00That's honesty for you.
17:03Well, I am here.
17:04Abdullah's Harem.
17:05Abdullah's Harem.
17:06Yeah.
17:06Now, look, is this...
17:07The name of this show is...
17:09I've got a secret.
17:10Yes.
17:11Of course, you know, this is not the first time I'm on this show.
17:13That's right.
17:14Yes, I've been here before, but of course, you were on vacation.
17:17That's right.
17:17So, your part was played by my very good friend from Hollywood, Denis Akif.
17:21That's right.
17:22And I must tell you that I watch this show, too.
17:24Uh-huh.
17:25And I know that the whole thing about the show is that the guest comes out and you have
17:30the problem for people and the guest is being asked a lot of questions.
17:35That's true.
17:35All right.
17:36Now, I will tell you what my secret is.
17:38What's your secret is?
17:39And incidentally, now, I don't want to hurt your feelings.
17:41Yeah.
17:41When I rehearsed with you, it was like I'm coming out and you say what you're going to be
17:44your secret tonight.
17:45So, now I'm telling that to you.
17:46All right.
17:47Now, come.
17:47All right.
17:48Now, my secret is that no matter what these people you ask me, I am not going to answer
17:53them.
17:54I am answering something.
17:56Well, if you don't answer, how are you going to play the game?
17:58Not only I'm not going to answer them, but I'm going to do it in four different ways.
18:04You will not answer four different ways?
18:06No, four different ways.
18:06Now, this little piece of paper is a memorandum of my contract with 20th Century Facts and
18:11Incorporation.
18:12Yeah.
18:12Now, you see, I'm with my finger, I'm putting up my salary because I'm very modest.
18:16Yes.
18:16But you can see that my contract with Facts and myself is that I am engaged in four capacities
18:21as an actor, as a director, as a producer, and as a writer.
18:25A four-way contract.
18:26Right.
18:26So, I am not going to ask any questions in four different ways.
18:30As an actor, as a director, as a producer, and as a writer.
18:33Not a woman.
18:34All right.
18:35So, in other words, your attitude is going to be different to a least one.
18:37Absolutely.
18:37Now, you see, here I have four times.
18:40Yeah.
18:40But I carefully prepared.
18:42I start from all day long doing that.
18:44When Anne asks you a question, you will avoid giving her an answer in the way a producer would.
18:49All right.
18:50Bill, as Wayne, add to wood, and as a director, and as a writer.
18:54That's right.
18:54That's being explained enough.
18:55All right, great.
18:55Let's have the panel back in, please.
18:59I'm sure that everybody on the panel knows Gregory Rathoff, and so we'll get started with the game,
19:25and the game concerns something that he is going to do, and Jane Meadows will start with you.
19:30Not again.
19:32Mr. Rathoff, are you going to do this this evening?
19:35Uh, excuse me, please.
19:37Yes.
19:38My darling, let me see.
19:41Would you mind asking that question just once more and not so fast?
19:48Mr. Rathoff, are you going to do this this evening?
19:53Now, would you mind saying it like this?
19:57Mr. Rathoff, are you going to do it again this evening?
20:01Would you say the word this evening?
20:02Mr. Rathoff, are you going to do it again this evening?
20:05Right.
20:06Now, would you mind saying it this way?
20:08Mr. Rathoff, are you going to do it today, this evening?
20:11Yes, I do mind.
20:12Mr. Rathoff.
20:18He says it's for his own buzzer.
20:20All right.
20:21$20 down and $60 to go, and Henry Morgan, you're on.
20:26Mr. Rathoff.
20:27Mr. Morgan, I'm glad to see you.
20:28Glad to see you.
20:31Now, if anyone you ask me, no.
20:33Now, what do you want to ask, Henry?
20:37M-I-S-T-E-R
20:39R-A-T-O-S-S
20:42A-R-E-Y-O-U
20:45Well, we'll run right into the next program, at that point.
20:48This evening.
20:50Now say the same thing a little bit faster.
20:53Now say the same thing a little bit faster.
20:56No, oh, no.
20:57Are you going to do what you're going to do this evening?
20:59Are you satisfied with the way that question is phrased, Mr. Raddahl?
21:02Just one more for me, because I'm thinking a little bit slow.
21:05Are you going to do what you are going to do this evening?
21:09Pardon me, please.
21:12Take this.
21:16To Gregory Ratos,
21:19producer and director of a film,
21:24Abdullah's harem,
21:26opening in New York City,
21:28and Broadway.
21:31All right, that's enough.
21:31You didn't answer my question.
21:34Would you please read that?
21:36To Gregory Ratos, producer and director,
21:38opening in New York City.
21:43$40 down, $40 to go,
21:45and we go to Anne Cullen, please.
21:48I am afraid to say anything.
21:51You can say anything if you want faster, slow.
21:55I am at yourself.
21:57Uh-oh.
21:57Uh-oh.
21:59Hmm.
22:00There's a thing that happened once in California.
22:03Anthony's going to do it to you, dear.
22:05All you're going to do is me.
22:06May I ask you just to get up for a moment?
22:11Yeah, he's going to do it to her.
22:14Have you ever been modeling in your life?
22:17Yes, I have.
22:18You see, have you ever heard about a play,
22:19Broadway play called Fifth Season?
22:21Yes, I have.
22:21You see, now in about four or five weeks,
22:24I'm going to do a picture of Fifth Season,
22:26and I'm looking for a lovely woman like yourself
22:28to play the part of the model.
22:29Would you be interested?
22:30Okay, yes.
22:31Just to go around.
22:32Let me see how you do it.
22:33Mr. Collins, you wouldn't mind if I just, uh,
22:38I just, uh, pull up into the stuff of your life.
22:45Here, sir.
22:46Now you hold him to it now.
22:48You go up for that part.
22:49$60 down and $20 to only go to Bill Collins, please.
22:54Well, I'll tell you, that's more than I ever got.
22:59Mr. Rattoff, sir, bounder.
23:03Are you ever going to give Ann a job?
23:08What's the matter, Mr. Rattoff?
23:09I just suddenly don't feel so well.
23:13Doctor!
23:14Doctor, I don't feel well!
23:24Have you any idea what Mr. Rattoff has been doing?
23:28He may be doing the part of a picture.
23:29Oh, in front of you, each of you will find a sign.
23:32In front of Ann, it says producer.
23:34In front of Bill, it says actor.
23:35In front of Jane, it says director.
23:37In front of Henry, it says writer.
23:39Mr. Rattoff is all of these.
23:41He was avoiding answering your questions,
23:43but he was avoiding them in his own,
23:45in each of these capacities.
23:46You remember, Jane, he directed you in how to speak.
23:48Only he rewrote your question.
23:50He asked you to stand up and take a look at you,
23:52producer style.
23:53In this, Joe, I want to be in a cheap season.
23:55That's on the level.
23:56That's on the level.
23:57Of course, there is no money in the job.
24:00We're out for overtime.
24:01Here is your money and your winstons
24:03and our greatest thanks.
24:05Thank you very much.
