00:13What's My Line?
00:17Brought to you by Kellogg's.
00:19The folks who bring the best to you each morning.
00:22The widest choice of cereals in the forms you like best.
00:26Yours from Kellogg's of Battle Creek.
00:30Now let's all play What's My Line?
00:40And now let's meet our award-winning panel of What's My Line?
00:43First, the delightful star of stage and television, Miss Arlene Francis.
00:57And now, a brilliant young actor who is up for an Academy Award for the Picture Room at the Top,
01:03who has just received an English Award for his new picture about to open at the Sutton Expresso Bongo,
01:10and he's an award-type fellow, Mr. Lawrence Harvey.
01:23And I have to regret to you that Miss Kilgallen is unable to be with us tonight because she's in
01:31California,
01:31but I'm very pleased to announce that in her place we have the lady from I've Got a Secret, Miss
01:39Betsy Palmer.
01:50Well, guess who's back, and we've got him.
01:52It's Dennis Cerf, brown as a berry, from Florida and from Jamaica.
01:56Dennis?
02:04Well, I resume my pleasant task of introducing our superb Master of Ceremonies.
02:10I hope you're as glad to see him again as I am.
02:13John Charles Dayton.
02:22It's very nice to have Bennett back again, bronzed and healthy and cheerful from Jamaica.
02:27He's already started making trouble, however, so that he hasn't really lost any of his wonderful talents while he's been
02:32away.
02:33I think probably you'd like to know that Miss Dorothy Kilgallen's not with us tonight because she is out covering
02:39the Finch trial,
02:40and it's at the Great Climetric, so she had to stay in Los Angeles this weekend, but we will have
02:46her back with us very soon.
02:48It's nice to have Miss Palmer and Mr. Harvey with us, and we won't be any gentler with you than
02:53we've been with all the others on the panel.
02:55We'll also have a mystery guest, a famous mystery guest, a little later in the show, and we'll meet our
03:01first challenger after this.
03:03And now let's meet our first contestant.
03:05Will you come in and sign in, please?
03:16Well, there we go.
03:18Thanks, Mr. Chairman.
03:21Well, now, you'll have to translate for me. I think that chalk did you ill.
03:25Graham Lyons.
03:26Graham Lyons. Nice to see you, Mr. Lyons.
03:35I'm sorry about that.
03:36You don't have to be sorry. It's our fault. We'll look into the chalk.
03:39Where are you from, Mr.
03:39With a heavier hand.
03:40No, not too heavy a hand. Too weak a chalk.
03:42We'll fix it.
03:43Where are you from, Mr. Lyons?
03:45London.
03:45From London.
03:46How nice to have somebody from London with us.
03:47May I present the panel?
03:48Panel, Mr. Lyons.
03:50Oh, no, Lyons.
03:51Have a nice to meet you.
03:52Oh, yes.
03:53Will you come and join me here now?
03:55Coming from London, I wonder if you know how we keep score on What's My Lyons?
03:58Well, if you use the same system as in London.
04:01Yes, you do.
04:02Actually, every no answer, we flip a card, and ten no's, you've won the game.
04:06If they guess what you do before the ten, then they've won the game.
04:09All right?
04:10We will tell you, panel, that Mr. Lyons is salaried, and we'll begin with Arlene Francis.
04:16Uh, Mr. Lyons, do you work for a profit-making organization?
04:20I do.
04:21Uh, do you?
04:22Can I stop everything here?
04:24It isn't profit-making in London?
04:26No, it isn't that.
04:27It's the old memory failed me.
04:28We haven't told the folks at home what Mr. Lyons does, so I'll stop everything now.
04:32Maybe it'll be fun for them not to know, John.
04:34Well, it might be, but the management will get in my hair.
04:36I think we'd better do it.
04:37Actually, the folks at home who don't want to know always look away.
04:39So, right now, we'll tell everybody at home exactly what it is Mr. Lyons does.
04:51It's just, Arlene, that Bennett's return has completely unnerved me.
04:54Do you want to take it?
04:55Of course.
04:55I must say, I think it's monstrous and very unpatriotic of you finding a fellow Englishman.
05:00You shouldn't tell me this before we go on the program.
05:03They didn't give me a chance.
05:04What?
05:04They didn't give me a chance.
05:05Well, there's been some rather harsh comment about that sort of thing in this country of late, too.
05:13We're very sticky about it, as a matter of fact.
05:16All right, Miss Arlene.
05:17Mr. Lyons, do you work out of doors at all?
05:21Sometimes.
05:23Is it a service that you do?
05:28There's a service involved, yes.
05:30Is there any product connected with the service?
05:32Oh, yes.
05:33Is it a useful product?
05:34Yes.
05:36Is it a product that if I went to England, I might want to have?
05:40I hope so.
05:43I can't possibly answer that.
05:45Oh, you can force yourself.
05:47No, I think it's fair to say that if Miss Arlene went to England, it's a product she might like
05:54to have, yes.
05:55I hope it's one she would like to have.
05:59Do we have a similar product in America?
06:02Yes.
06:04Is it a product that I might put in my mouth?
06:08No.
06:09No.
06:09No.
06:09That's $1,099 to go, Mr. Harvey.
06:12Well, if it isn't something you can put in your mouth, is it something that is of any sort of
06:19use to men and women, I mean, generally?
06:23Yes.
06:23Would we use it?
06:24We would.
06:25And in using it, I mean, would it benefit us in any sort of way?
06:29Yes.
06:30It would.
06:31Oh, that's quite extraordinary.
06:35Having benefited by it, I mean, would you find this particular thing that you deal with or handle, anything that
06:43we might put on our particular physic?
06:45No.
06:46That's $2,098 to go, Miss Butler.
06:48Put on our physic, Mark?
06:51Well, an expression.
06:52You mean where, don't you?
06:54Well, I mean, yes, something that you put on over your physic, as opposed to in your physic, you see,
06:59he might be in front of you.
07:03Let somebody be psychic and let's get on with the game.
07:06Miss Butler?
07:08Mr. Lyons, is this product something, would it benefit us physically we establish that?
07:16Well, it's a little difficult.
07:17With your permission, let me say that if you had cause to use the product, the use of it would
07:25benefit you physically to the degree that the lack of it might tax you more physically than what you would
07:30do.
07:31How am I doing?
07:32That's wrapping it up.
07:33That's wrapping it up.
07:35I would say yes, definitely.
07:36I'm not hedging.
07:37Oh.
07:38In other words, if you were in a certain kind of predicament, you'd be better off having this one.
07:49Would I tend to be in the predicament more than, say, the two gentlemen?
08:01Do you know what it is?
08:03No, I couldn't possibly think.
08:05I mean, you know, when he says, would you benefit more than I, I don't know.
08:08Sorry, no.
08:19I'd say no, or you say yes.
08:22Oh, my.
08:23Over 10 years, this is the first time.
08:25All right.
08:26The gentlemen say yes.
08:29No, I tell you, Mr. Lyons and I had a conference.
08:32I think he would prefer a no answer, but because of the terms of reference, which are peculiar to this
08:37particular program, Mr. Lyons,
08:39I would say, Ms. Palmer, that we would give you a qualified yes to your question.
08:43What was the question?
08:44I haven't the slightest idea.
08:47Now, the issue here was, would the product tend to benefit Ms. Palmer more than the two?
08:53Yours more than mine.
08:55This, it is a product.
08:57That's right.
08:58Now, could this product, is there any mechanical parts involved?
09:03Yes.
09:04Are the parts, say, for instance, made of mineral instead of vegetable?
09:11No.
09:12Good.
09:13That's $3.07 to go, Mr. Sir.
09:15They're not made of mineral as compared to vegetable?
09:17No, the question was specifically asked instead of vegetable, and in that guise, it got a no.
09:21Mr. Lyons, is it L-I-N-E-S?
09:24Yes.
09:24Mr. Lyons, are there any moving parts in the product that you are connected with?
09:28Yes.
09:28Are there any wheels in it?
09:30Yes.
09:32Would it possibly have anything to do with the automotive industry?
09:36No.
09:37That's $4.06 to go, Ms. Francis.
09:40Is it anything that a child might care about?
09:46Anything a child might care about?
09:48Is it something for children to use, too?
09:54The children are different in England, obviously.
10:00No.
10:01A child wouldn't use this?
10:03I think that's tough.
10:06Oh, man.
10:07You're going to age me five years tonight.
10:10Well, actually, here it gets down to the sensibilities of a child.
10:14I think that what we do here is we'll flip a card and you continue asking questions.
10:20If you want this product, is it preferable to be married in order to use it?
10:25Yes.
10:27Oh, yes.
10:28Oh, please.
10:30No, please.
10:31What does it have to do with children?
10:33It's the whole thing.
10:34You haven't heard about marriage and children.
10:37They go together.
10:39Do they?
10:40Yes.
10:41Well, now, this is something that a married person would come to you for, some service.
10:48Right?
10:50It's something that married people would use.
10:52Yes, please.
10:53We don't extort those sort of things from England.
10:55But, does it ush?
10:58I must have ush.
11:03Way too long.
11:05Would it be found ever in a hospital?
11:08No.
11:09Six down and four to go, Mr. Harvey.
11:11I'm going to give you one more minute.
11:12It wouldn't be found more in a hospital.
11:13Now, well, tell me, I mean, you know, if it has to do with sort of men and women, I
11:17mean, you know, if it's bound up with this sort of institution called marriage, could it possibly be something that
11:25would infer some type of sort of transportation of any kind?
11:30Yes.
11:31It does.
11:32And would it possibly be anything in the form of a sort of baby carriage or something like that?
11:44I'm so sorry.
11:46Now, really, we have a terrible time over here with dollars.
11:49I do apologize, because I'd like you to have won that.
11:51I'm terribly sorry.
11:52Well, it's not over yet.
11:54It isn't.
11:55No, you've just identified the product.
11:57What does Mr. Lyons have to do with the baby carriage?
11:59Right.
12:02Well, oh, I see.
12:03We haven't got anywhere yet.
12:05I beg your pardon.
12:06You see?
12:07Well, yes, if it is something to do with baby carriages, would it be by any chance anything to do
12:14with the sort of the interior of these baby carriages?
12:19No.
12:20Seven down and three to go, Miss Palmer.
12:22Well, it's too obvious.
12:23You don't make them, I'm sure.
12:25I don't make them?
12:26No, I don't think so.
12:28Well, they don't always give you the obvious on the show, do they?
12:31Do you measure babies for baby carriages?
12:37I give up.
12:40He's asking.
12:42I give up.
12:44Actually, Mr. Lyons is one of the owners of Lyons Brothers Limited, which might touch a spark in you, Mr.
12:52Harvey.
12:52Well, I haven't had any of those.
12:54They make baby carriages.
12:55Mr. Lyons sells them, and they're famous all over the world.
12:58As a matter of fact, English buggies.
13:00English buggies.
13:01Prams.
13:02Prams.
13:02Prams.
13:03Prambulants.
13:03Prams.
13:04Well, I'm sorry.
13:06You see, I've never played this game before.
13:07I think it was unfair, because when you said, didn't I, I must continue, I didn't realize whether I had
13:13to find out whether Mr. Lyons was owner or salesman or whatever it is.
13:18So I apologize.
13:19Well, that's all right.
13:20You don't have to bother me.
13:21Now, it's my fault.
13:21No, it's for sure.
13:22Now, please, Mr. David, it's absolutely my fault.
13:25Then you pay him the $50.
13:27That's how we'll sell it.
13:27John, this gentleman came in like a lion, and he's going out like a pram.
13:32Oh!
13:36This is what happens when you let Bennett rest for two weeks.
13:40He's bad enough when he's working, but when he's rested, man, it's murderous.
13:44Mr. Lyons, hope you enjoyed your visit with us.
13:46It was great to have you with us.
13:47Thank you very much.
13:48A lot of fun.
13:48Thanks very much.
13:49Could you say hello to the panel personally?
14:00Now let's meet our second challenger.
14:02Would you come in and sign in, please?
14:10Mona?
14:14Campbell, right?
14:22Is it Miss or Mrs.?
14:23Miss.
14:24It's Miss, Campbell.
14:25Well, we probably have a riot on our hands now before we start.
14:28Where are you from, Ms. Campbell?
14:29Washington, D.C.
14:30Washington, D.C.
14:31May I present our panel, Ms. Campbell?
14:34Would you join me over here?
14:35You know how we keep score, Ms. Campbell?
14:37Yes, I do.
14:38In that event, we have the pleasant duty of advising our audience in the theater and the folks at home
14:44exactly what your line is.
14:52All right, panel.
14:54We will tell you that Ms. Campbell is salaried and put the vacationer to work.
14:59Bennett, sir.
15:00Ms. Campbell, my wife's in Washington tonight, so I'm glad they sent somebody up here.
15:05Uh, Ms. Campbell, do you...
15:12Phyllis, Phyllis, he didn't mean it.
15:16Ms. Campbell, do you, by any chance, work for the government?
15:20No.
15:20One down and nine to go, Ms. Francis.
15:23You deal in services?
15:24Yes.
15:25Are your services for both men and women?
15:27Yes.
15:28Do you deal with them directly?
15:30No.
15:31Two down and eight to go, Mr. Harvey.
15:32I'm not playing.
15:37Uh, Ms. Campbell, um, uh, would it, would it by any chance have anything to do with any type of
15:43sort of charitable organization of any kind?
15:45No.
15:46Three down and seven to go, Ms. Palmer.
15:48Uh, do men and women come to you for your services?
15:52No.
15:53Four down and six to go, Mr. Sir.
15:55Do you work, Ms. Campbell, for a profit-making organization?
15:58Yes.
15:58You do.
15:59Is it, um, what might be called a business?
16:03Yes.
16:04Is it a retail business?
16:06No.
16:08That's five down and five to go, Ms. Francis.
16:11Now, is there, uh, is there a product of any kind connected with what you do?
16:15No.
16:16Six down and four to go, Mr. Harvey.
16:18Well, um, if you work in a business, I mean, is your business in any way, you are implying, in
16:24other words, that your business is directly connected with the people?
16:28I mean, you know, you have direct contact with them, whomever you're doing business with?
16:31No, I think the question was asked as to whether direct contact was had, and it was answered in a
16:36negative way.
16:36No, no, but yes, it was, uh, I thought, oh, I see, I beg your pardon.
16:39No, no, and I've gone all the time.
16:40The issue here was the direct.
16:41Yeah, it happens to us all.
16:43Um, is this business in any way connected with any type of, uh, social services?
16:52No.
16:53Seven down and three to go, Ms. Palm.
16:55Um, are your services more mental than physical?
16:58Yes.
17:00Um, well, now tell me, do you need a special training for the services?
17:08I mean, did you need to go to school a little bit longer than high school, maybe, further than that?
17:15I think, to be fair, Ms. Moyer, we'd have to say that there's a degree of special training which could
17:20be had in graduate work or could be had just in the gaining of new experience.
17:24Do you have a title because of this, uh, training?
17:28Are you called a such-and-such?
17:31Well, uh...
17:32What?
17:36He didn't say one blessed thing to me, then.
17:41Not one thing.
17:42I think we'd have to, on the titles, the specific title, we'd have to give you a no.
17:46Eight down and two to go, Mr. Sir.
17:47Betsy, it's Mr. Deggley you'd call the such-and-such.
17:49No.
17:50Uh, Ms. Campbell, uh, I would like to lump together.
17:54I'd like to ask three things and ask if you have anything to do with them.
17:58Advertising, publicity, or the entertainment industry.
18:01Have you anything to do with one of those three?
18:05Uh, um, something.
18:11Can we eliminate the entertainment industry?
18:14Specifically?
18:15And leave it that you are something to do with either publicity or advertising.
18:21Public relations.
18:22That's, that's, that's a deduction which we certainly will permit you.
18:25And that will give you a no.
18:26That's nine down and one to go, Ms. Fred.
18:29Well, I can't understand that.
18:30Did you just rule out all three, then?
18:32No, that must be entertainment.
18:33Oh, I'm sorry.
18:34I misunderstood.
18:35Actually, we would, Bennett asked the question, have something to do with.
18:39And then he went to specifics.
18:40When he went to specifics, he fell apart.
18:42So that in some sort of a vague way, Ms. Campbell, you might have something to do with entertainment?
18:47Uh, yes, a little.
18:49Yes?
18:50In some vague way.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Some sort of a way.
18:52Mm-hmm.
18:53Uh, do you deal with, uh, men and women in this job, human beings?
18:57Yes.
18:57Yes.
18:58Uh, do you, uh, are you in any way a performer yourself?
19:04Yes.
19:04Yes.
19:05Uh, do people pay for your performance?
19:11No.
19:11No, actually, you, you were very close to it.
19:13I thought Bennett was going to move in on it right away.
19:16I wanted you to know, I'm glad I'm in the news business, because Ms. Campbell is a TV newscaster
19:21for WTOP-TV in Washington, D.C.
19:31She has her own, own news programmer.
19:34Beg your pardon?
19:34I said, I've been to Washington.
19:36I've never met the lady.
19:37You haven't been in the news that day.
19:41Besides, Ms. Campbell's program is at 1025 every morning.
19:44And I don't know, maybe you went up.
19:46Yes, I wasn't that early, yes.
19:48So, well, thank you very much.
19:49I hope you had fun.
19:50It was nice to have you with us.
19:51And lots of good success in the news.
20:04We'll meet tonight's mystery guest in just a moment.
20:06But first, here is a word from our sponsor.
20:09And now we come to the special feature of our program, the appearance of our mystery celebrity,
20:14for which my friends in the panel are blindfolded.
20:17Are those blindfolds all in place, Mr. Harvey?
20:19Cover?
20:20Yes.
20:20Blindfolds in place?
20:21Yes, sir.
20:22Good.
20:22Will you come in, mystery challenger, and sign in, please?
20:39All right, panel.
20:39You know, in the case of our mystery challenger, we go to a different form of questioning.
20:43You ask one question at a time, in turn, moving clockwise.
20:46And we'll begin with Mr. Harvey.
20:52Are you male or female?
20:54That's impossible to answer yes or no.
21:00I take it you're a man?
21:02No.
21:03That's one not a night ago, Ms. Farmer.
21:06Definitely not.
21:07Didn't you hear the reaction out in the audience?
21:08Mm-hmm.
21:10Are you a lady well-known in the newspapers recently?
21:17That's not...
21:18This is a difficult one, Ms. Betsy, because I don't know what comparative you're putting down.
21:23Let us say that our guest is well-known in the newspapers, um, continuously.
21:28Mr. Sir?
21:29Is that fame because of eminence in the entertainment industry?
21:37Oui.
21:38Ms. Francis?
21:40Are you a television personality?
21:43Oui.
21:44Mr. Harvey?
21:45She's a wee television personality.
21:51Uh, have you...
21:53Have you in any way done anything in the last week that has caused some sort of stir or other?
22:01No.
22:02That's two not a day to go, Ms. Farmer.
22:06I'm...
22:07I would like to say something now, and just as a wild guess, purely because I have worked for Mr.
22:13Goodson and Mr. Todman before, and they are...
22:15They always pull real kind of sneaky tricks, and they have me here tonight, and I'm wondering if that is
22:21Dorothy Kilgallen over there.
22:24That's three down and seven to go, Mr. Sir.
22:26Good, very good stab, though.
22:29Are you on a regular television show that appears at regular intervals?
22:35No.
22:36Four down and six to go, Ms. Francis.
22:38Uh, do you think?
22:42Oui.
22:43Mr. Harvey?
22:44Oui, sir.
22:46Um, are you in a play of any kind on Broadway at the moment?
22:50No.
22:51No.
22:51Five down and five to go, Ms. Farmer.
22:54Is your name, uh, French?
22:57I mean, are you French, or were you at one time?
23:00Oh, I'm often...
23:01Oui?
23:02Yes, she was.
23:05I bet you we know who it is.
23:06Well, I know.
23:07The only French girl I think of at the moment is Genevieve.
23:10Are you Genevieve?
23:12No.
23:13Six down and four to go, Ms. Francis.
23:16Did you get a yes for are you French or were you French at one time?
23:19Oui.
23:20Yes.
23:22Oh.
23:24Uh, are you in New York, uh, to appear on a special television program?
23:32Oui.
23:32Mr. Harvey?
23:33It didn't help me.
23:40French.
23:42I, I know.
23:43You do?
23:44I think I do, yes.
23:46All right.
23:46Who is?
23:47No, I mustn't allow myself to.
23:49You must force yourself.
23:50So that's fine.
23:53Uh, could it, uh, possibly be, um, Simone Signoret?
24:00No.
24:01No.
24:01Seven down and three to go, Ms. Palmer?
24:03Always trying to get plugs for room at the top, isn't it?
24:06My goodness.
24:07Um, very well though you should, always.
24:10Uh, are you blonde and small?
24:14No.
24:14No.
24:15No, and I'm going to have to, I, I'm sorry, we run, what, what do you want to say, Bennett?
24:19Have you ever sung in the opera?
24:21No.
24:22No, we're running out of time, which is an unhappy, take your masks off and see you were
24:26skirting the edges all the time, Giselle McKenzie.
24:29Oh.
24:37I, I thought Arlene got it, because Giselle is going to be on Perry Como show on, on this
24:41coming Wednesday night, and I thought that you'd all jump for it.
24:44Lots of dirty track, that French, Ben.
24:46You're Canadian.
24:46Well, I am for Giselle.
24:48Giselle, of course it is.
24:49What is the matter with you?
24:50And Perry Como is the luckiest man in America this week, this is what I say.
24:54Wonderful to see you again.
24:55John, it's nice to see you.
24:56Thanks very much for coming with us.
24:58Oh, boy.
25:13Well, panel, you could have done better tonight, so I congratulate you anyway,
25:19and we'll be back after this word from our alternate sponsor.
