00:00my name is Pearl Bailey and you know what I've got a secret from New York
00:18here is I've got a secret starring Steve Allen
00:33thanks very much good evening and welcome indeed to another edition of I've
00:37got a secret now that you've met our special guest for the evening Pearl
00:40Bailey we'll meet of course the members of our panel who are as usual Betsy
00:44Palmer and Bill Cullen, Bess Meyerson, and Remorgan and that's the bet
00:57you all set to play the game panel? I don't know why I go on asking you that
01:01year after year but I'd like to be nice. Maybe we have our first contestant then please
01:05jump right in there partner and would you tell us your name please and where
01:16you're from? My name is Milton Barrett I come from New York. Milton Barrett panel
01:22in New York City. Milton how old are you? Eleven. Now if you'll whisper to me we'll
01:28show the audience just what your secret is.
01:40The clue to Milton Barrett's secret panel concerns something he does and we'll
01:45start the game with Bill Cullen. Milton this thing you do it does it entertain
01:49people? Yes. Do you do it in public before a group of people? Yes. Is it musical in any
01:57sense of the word? No. Yes. Well there is a peripheral tangential connection. I've been
02:06talking to John Daly folks I want you to know. Would you put that back in my terms? I'm on a show.
02:12Do you sing at all Milton? No. Do you dance at all? Yes. Let me clarify that
02:21musical thing Bill there is a little music sometimes going on but it's not
02:24really vitally important to the secret. Oh I see. But but you do this in front of
02:29people and entertain them Milton is that correct? Yes. Twenty dollars down sixty to go.
02:34Bess? Milton are you now in a show? Right now? Yes. No. I don't know. Just a minute.
02:46That's his way of saying you call this a show? No Milton I don't mean right this
02:51moment but I mean in the evenings for example do you perform? Yes. Yeah it's not
02:56strictly a show but it's kind of a performance. Well I just wanted to know
02:59perhaps you were starring on Broadway in some kind of play? No. No. Do you do this at
03:04school? No. You do this after hours? Yes. And do you get paid when you do this?
03:11Yes and no. Do you do this with other young people? Yes. Did you? Forty dollars
03:19down. Henry Morgan? Milne you're gonna do it with other people tonight? Yes. Should I
03:27spend more time on the other people or just find out what it is? Just find out
03:33what it is.
03:40And don't take too darn long about it either. How do you like that? Do I would I care how
03:46many others there are Moke? There's five more. I don't really care. What you do is it in any
03:56way like acrobatics? Yes. There's an acrobatic aspect but that might mislead you we'd
04:03better say no I think. How come everything here is tangential and referential?
04:08No. Milton do you are they all boys? Yes. Are they all about your age? No. Depends on what you mean by about Henry. I'd say loosely speaking they're all around his age. Yes. Okay.
04:28Sixty dollars down Betsy. Hilton does this have to do with sports at all? Yes.
04:35You're a little sneak. I saw you sneak in in your sneakers. That's why I asked that. Does it have to do with basketball?
04:42Yes. Does it have to do with maybe the Globetrotters? Not really. Are you a small version? A kind of a mini version of the Globetrotters? Yes.
04:50Very good for you. Good job. Milton Barrett is indeed quite a remarkable young man for three years now. In other words since he was eight years old he has spent most of his after school hours traveling with a group of young men giving exhibitions of their skills as professional basketball players.
05:11Milton would you tell us the name of this team you play with? The name of the team is you know the edgies whiz kids. And what does edgies mean? It's a building called the education allowance but we call them the edgies for short. That's right. Now where do you put on your exhibitions? All over the country.
05:37Well if you want to help yourself to our little basketball court over here Milton we'll see in just a moment. I'll explain while he's getting ready to play that the kids as he says not only put on these exhibitions but they also play in a regular league.
05:52Now out of the last 125 games they have only succeeded in winning all of them. But they're going to try to improve on that a little bit. They're going to beat them even worse than they have been up to now.
06:03Now they play in an organization as he mentioned called the education alliance. That's what edgies means. And all of the money that these young ball handlers make goes right back to supporting after school activities at their community center here in town.
06:17So we'll open the curtains now and meet all of the edgies whiz kids. Here they are.
06:20Where did it go? Look out. Where's that ball?
06:43Where's that ball?
06:44Take him.
06:46Watch it.
06:53This is young Gregory Wright.
07:01This is Harvey Davies.
07:08This gentleman is Ivory Daniels.
07:11Next, a little fancy ball handling by Otto Gómez.
07:23Now another great clever ball handling.
07:25This is Alfred Cabrera.
07:28How about that?
07:31Watch it. Hey, there.
07:34And now young Milton Berrett again
07:36with a little fancy dribbling exhibition.
07:41There he goes.
07:52Oh, shit.
08:08There they go.
08:11The audience.
08:23In the audience we have the coach of this team,
08:26Mr. Sol Lane, who's done a great job.
08:29Coach, take a bow.
08:29Miss Elaine is also appearing in Ed Sullivan's audience one of these days.
08:41Now, we'll be back in a minute with our next contestant.
08:43First, get a load of this.
08:45So you're giving her first Paris dinner party for the Bradfords.
08:49They're so important to Jim's career.
08:51But Mrs. Bradford acts like I had bad breath.
08:54Oh, so much worry.
08:57Use Listerine, I'm a deceptic.
08:58Here's germs that can cause bad breath.
09:01I'll try it.
09:03Louise, no more worries?
09:05Nope.
09:06I had to come to Paris to discover Listerine.
09:09Listerine keeps your mouth clean, your breath fresh, hour after hour.
09:15Are you sure you feel well enough to sing today?
09:17It's just a little sore throat from this cold.
09:20And today's my first choir solo.
09:22Well, you'd better take these along.
09:24Jane, candy won't help me.
09:26No, Listerine throat lozenges.
09:29They relieve pain because they're medicated.
09:32Mmm, tastes good.
09:34You sang beautifully.
09:35Thanks.
09:36Say, how's the sore throat?
09:37Feels a lot better thanks to Listerine throat lozenges.
09:40For temporary relief of minor sore throat pain.
09:44Now may we have our next contestant, please?
09:46There you are.
09:57Nice to have you with us, sir.
09:59You and your jug of Kool-Aid or whatever this is.
10:02Would you tell us your name, please, and where you're from?
10:04Yes, I'm David James.
10:06I'm from Pasadena, California.
10:08Mr. James is a graduate student at California Institute of Technology.
10:13And as part of his work on his doctorate, he has been doing some interesting research with
10:18this liquid that you see before you're here.
10:21Mr. James, what is in this liquid that you've brought here?
10:25It's a white powder called polyethylene oxide that's been dissolved in water.
10:30Polyethylene oxide.
10:31I guess you must have discovered an interesting secret about it.
10:34Yes, I did.
10:35By accident.
10:35Okay.
10:36Well, if you'll whisper the details to me, we'll show the audience just what that secret is.
10:42Uh-huh.
10:43The clue panel to Mr. James' secret concerns this liquid, which isn't much of a clue now
10:58that I think of it, but we'll start the game with Betsy Palmer.
11:01David, is this beaker of water ever touched by humans?
11:10The liquid itself?
11:11No, not really.
11:13In other words, what it does, that it does it not to a human being, but to some inert
11:18object?
11:20Well, it doesn't really do much to anything yet that we know about.
11:24But it causes a change to come about of some sort?
11:27Yes, it does.
11:29Would you say that this object is mechanical?
11:33Yes.
11:35Something that you would have in your laboratory much more than you would have in your home?
11:40I didn't mean that kind of mechanical.
11:42Uh, I think you probably better take a no on mechanical in the sense that you mean it
11:47and that I'm thinking of it.
11:49Well, I was thinking of maybe like an automobile or an airplane or something like that.
11:52No, no, not that.
11:53No.
11:53But would you find it in the home?
11:56No, I don't think so.
11:57Uh, would you find it, uh, out of doors?
12:01When you say it, what do you mean, Betsy?
12:03This object that it does something to.
12:05It doesn't do anything to any object much.
12:07I thought you said that.
12:08Not really.
12:09No.
12:10But you found something that happens.
12:11Well, does it have to do with the color of it?
12:13No, it doesn't.
12:15$20 down.
12:16This is kind of a tough one, Bill.
12:18I have it.
12:18You have it.
12:19What is it?
12:20What is it?
12:21The university, Caltech, has developed a synthetic martini.
12:27King sign.
12:28King sign.
12:28Wishful thinking.
12:30Uh, actually.
12:31Wishful drinking, Bill, I think is what it is.
12:34Are we trying to determine what makes that liquid different than another liquid?
12:38Is that what we're going for?
12:41Yes.
12:41And it has certain properties that we hope to be able to find out.
12:45That's correct.
12:45Is that right?
12:46It doesn't do anything to anything.
12:49Not in that sense.
12:51When you, do you use it?
12:53In other words, do you do something with it?
12:56Yes.
12:56Put it in something.
12:58Is that a fair assumption?
12:59Yes.
13:01In the strict sense, it is put into something.
13:04It's put into this thing.
13:05Right.
13:07Forty dollars down.
13:08Best.
13:09Mr. James, is it a conductor of some sort when the polyethylene oxide is added?
13:16You're thinking of an electrical conductor.
13:18Yes.
13:18No.
13:20Now, when this oxide is added, it changes the quality of the water.
13:25Does it have to do with the weight?
13:27No.
13:28Does it have to do with the fact that it can support weights?
13:32No.
13:32Does it at any point change from liquid into solid?
13:37Does it anything along in that direction?
13:41Yes.
13:44There's a kind of a connection there, Henry.
13:47In order for it to change to a solid, do you have to bring some?
13:51What's the finger for?
13:52Uh, she said in connection with changing to a solid.
13:55Oh.
13:56Then would this?
13:57It doesn't change into a solid.
13:59All right.
13:59Does this liquid change into anything itself?
14:01No.
14:02Then would you call it a catalyst?
14:05No.
14:06What would you call it?
14:12Well, now, if you said, I'm going back to the first questioning, then was it used on something else?
14:18Forget that.
14:18Okay.
14:20But when Bess said change into a solid, you said, yes, something does, but not this liquid.
14:26Well, I meant the questioning could be pursued along that line.
14:30You mean as far as you care?
14:31That's right.
14:33No.
14:34In the technical sense, it could be, yes.
14:36Then is there, should I ask what you, you must use something in connection with this to
14:41produce something else?
14:42Yes, I'm going to use something else.
14:44Oh, okay.
14:45Now, are you, do you have a powder, for example?
14:47Or, um, no, the powder is already.
14:49All right.
14:50Well, as I mentioned, panel, this is an awfully difficult secret to have gotten.
14:55Like many great discoveries, Mr. James's discovery came about through a mistake.
14:59And also like many discoveries, many other discoveries, for the moment, he really doesn't
15:04know what the heck to do with this liquid.
15:06If you have any ideas, we'll be glad to hear about him.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Nevertheless, it is quite a fascinating liquid, because unlike anything else that I know of,
15:14anyway, this liquid can run uphill.
15:16How about that?
15:26I don't know how you overlooked that one, but can it run uphill?
15:30I mean, downhill, too.
15:31Yes, it's a talented liquid.
15:32And it goes sideways and backwards and forwards.
15:36How did you discover what it can do?
15:38This was by accident.
15:40I used this kind of fluid in my research at Caltech.
15:44Ordinarily, I'm pouring a full beaker from this vessel to some other ones.
15:49And one night, I tried just pouring an inch or so off the top.
15:53And when I set the beaker back up, the flow continued.
15:56In fact, it crawled right up the side of this beaker.
16:00Well, Mr. James, if you will give us a laboratory demonstration to prove that what you just said is
16:05true, we'll all be in your debt.
16:07You'll notice that what is going to happen here is just what Mr. James related and now predicts.
16:13He's going to just start the flow from the top jug here into the bottom one.
16:17And then he's going to set it back down.
16:19And you would think that that would be the end of the pouring, as it would with any other liquid
16:22that we know about, but this just keeps going.
16:25And notice how this empties itself, crawls right up the side of the glass and down into the other.
16:30Now, this is not a magic trick.
16:32It's really happening.
16:41Still going on.
16:41Mr. James, have you figured out why it does what it does?
16:48Yeah, there's several reasons to explain it.
16:51One is that the polymer molecules, if you could look at them at the microscopic level,
16:56would appear like very long spaghetti noodles.
16:59And in fact, they're so long, they become entangled with one another.
17:04And they also entrap a lot of water.
17:06But once you can start this entangled chain going over the side, they pull more of the
17:11the molecules over with them, you see, and the water along with it.
17:15And they'll continue to flow this way.
17:16Why did it stop?
17:18Oh, well, when this distance gets too high, there's too much stress on the chain and afraid.
17:23But earlier this afternoon, when Mr. James showed it to us,
17:26it kept going very close down to the bottom.
17:28The thing just kept pouring out.
17:29But he warned me when I handled the beaker at one time.
17:32He said, whatever you do, he said, don't slosh it around, you know,
17:34and spill a little because once it starts going over the edge, you can't stop it.
17:38Well, Mr. James, we thank you very much.
17:44Are there any practical uses, seriously, that you think might be in the offing?
17:48No, we haven't found one.
17:51Well, it's a perfectly wonderful, useless liquid.
17:53We'll call it that for the moment.
17:54And if you ever figure out how to use it, please let us know.
17:57We'll tell everybody.
17:58In the meantime, thanks so much for joining us tonight.
18:08We'll be right back with our special guest in just a minute.
18:11But first, this message.
18:16Poor George.
18:18He's having a long headache.
18:21He takes his usual pain reliever and starts to feel better.
18:24But sometimes the old standby just isn't enough.
18:27So wham, George's headache comes back.
18:30You know how some headaches seem to go on and on and on,
18:35till you need a couple more tablets?
18:38This is new Vanquish.
18:41It helps you have a wonderful headache.
18:43The short headache.
18:45Vanquish is formulated to bring you more relief action than the pain reliever you're probably using.
18:49And Vanquish has a specific ingredient that acts upon a major factor in most headache pain.
18:55Pressure on vascular nerves.
18:57So with Vanquish, your headache shouldn't come back.
19:00That's the short headache.
19:02If you must have a headache, remember the short headache.
19:05With Vanquish, your headache shouldn't come back.
19:08Don't you have better things to do than worry about a headache all day long?
19:12Now, as advertised, it's time to meet our special guest for the evening,
19:17one of America's truly great entertainers.
19:19Just finished co-hosting the Mike Douglas Show in Philadelphia for a week
19:24and is about to start a cross-country tour going to Denver, I understand, on January the 29th.
19:28Here is the wonderful Miss Pearl Bailey.
19:38Hi, Pearl.
19:38Oh, thank you.
19:40Nice to have you with me.
19:41Wonderful.
19:45Pearl, I know everyone wants to hear me ask this question.
19:47Are you going to sing a little bit for us tonight?
19:50Well, I'm a little tired for that.
19:52A little too tired.
19:53Yes.
19:53Well, I hope you're not too tired to play the game.
19:55And if you're not, then by whispering to me,
19:58we'll show the audience at home just what your secret is.
20:00Okay?
20:05How about that, Jim?
20:07Well, now, wait a minute.
20:09How are you going to do that?
20:12Oh, I see.
20:13Yes.
20:14Well, in that case, Pearl, then you'd better run off stage for a little bit and,
20:24you know, get ready for the next...
20:26Oh, this is going to take a little time.
20:27My feet are killing me.
20:28All right.
20:30And now, while Pearl is a backstage panel, would you please put on your blindfold?
20:34It's one of those sneaky games we're playing on you tonight.
20:38And are the blindfolds all in place now?
20:40Yes, sir.
20:41All tucked in?
20:41Yeah.
20:42Okay, Pearl, if you're all ready back there, just come right on out.
20:50Now, Pearl sings for you.
20:55Oh, I'm so tired of the life I need.
21:03I'm tired of the blues I breathe.
21:08I'm tired of counting things I need.
21:14Oh, the galleries are nice.
21:16Oh, if you're killing me, it's really fun.
21:18Okay, Pearl, come out over here now.
21:19Oh, you're too much.
21:27Now, panel, the clue to Pearl Bailey's secret concerns something she's doing.
21:32I guess I'll put it that way.
21:33And we'll start the game with Henry Morgan.
21:36Now, Miss Bailey, this thing that you're doing, did you already do it?
21:39Did you come out with it all done?
21:41Oh, well, I would say, uh, yes, yes.
21:45Is it, uh, something you're wearing?
21:49Oh, well, no, no, no.
21:54Well, between now and when we last saw you,
21:56you made some change because the audience laughed.
22:01Did you take something off?
22:06Uh, not on a network show like this on you, no.
22:10It wouldn't hurt.
22:15$20 down, uh, Betsy.
22:17Early May.
22:19Are you doing something to Steve?
22:22What's she saying?
22:23Are you doing something to Steve?
22:24Uh, don't be silly.
22:28You don't know whether you are?
22:31No, she's just entertaining me, that's all.
22:34She's not doing something to you.
22:35Are you touching him at all?
22:37Oh, no, honey, no.
22:39No?
22:39Are you using your hands, Pearl?
22:42Oh, always, darling.
22:45But just gesturing, uh, Betsy.
22:47Are you different than you were when we saw you on the stage before?
22:51No, no, no.
22:54Well, there is, that's it.
22:57You have to get a yes and a no on that one.
22:59Can we take off our blindfold now, Henry and Matt?
23:03Uh, $40 down.
23:04Bill?
23:04Well, get back to what Henry and Betsy both.
23:06Something happened between the time Pearl walked off stage and walked back on.
23:11Yes.
23:11When you came back, Pearl, had your appearance changed at all?
23:15Well, uh, yes, somewhat, yes, yes.
23:22Is it possible that someone came back with you when you came back?
23:27Always somebody with me, darling.
23:30Pearl, is that you I'm talking to right now?
23:32Well, again, you have to give you a no on that.
23:39No, no.
23:40And Steve is not a ventriloquist.
23:43There's a third party there.
23:45Mm-hmm.
23:45A little rascal.
23:47Who, who is imitating Pearl now.
23:51Right.
23:52Right.
24:05I'd like all of you to say hello to a wonderful comedian and impersonator, Mr. George Kirby, ladies and gentlemen.
24:10George, you know, George, there's a few people, not too many, just people in the business who do imitate Pearl Bailey.
24:24And I don't want to knock the rest of them, but I have to say you do the best job of all.
24:27Yeah, man.
24:27Did Pearl herself, uh, did Pearl herself teach you about this, how to do it?
24:31Oh, yes.
24:33Give me back my job, you're doing it better.
24:36No, I did not.
24:37You did not.
24:38Let's be honest.
24:39You know, when we worked together, I was always studying your voice.
24:41You thought you would just hold a couple of things, but I was in your voice.
24:44You studied, but I didn't tell you.
24:44Did you tell me by just being there?
24:46I see.
24:46That's right.
24:47Well, we have a bit of time now, and maybe we could get these two Pearl Bailey's to do a number for us.
24:52Is that possible?
24:53Hey, thanks.
24:59Let's, uh, let's, uh, which one's gonna get the most money?
25:04I'll tell you, you start first, and I'll see how I'm doing.
25:07All right, we'll let the rotund start first.
25:11Oh, I'm so tired, yes, you're tired, of the life I've been, of the life I've been.
25:21Wait, wait a minute, Joy, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute now.
25:26Wait a minute, children, back of the curtain.
25:27You're even slower than I am, honey.
25:32Pick it up a little bit, you know.
25:34All right.
25:34Put your hand on the hip and get it.
25:36No, no, no, no.
