Host: Wally Bruner Announcer: Johnny Olson Celebrity Panel:
Soupy Sales
Meredith MacRae
Gene Rayburn
Arlene Francis
FIRST GUEST: Miss X
She’s self-employed and deals in a service. (Wally forgets to show the audience the answer
1 Gene: Is it a physical activity? Yes Do you wear a certain costume when you perform? Yes Is it in the general field of entertainment? Yes Is it something that might go on in New York? Yes Could I do it with you? Yes “Would you like to meet me after the show?” Yes (OH-OH!) Would it be a pleasurable experience? Yes “You do your show and I’ll do mine!” Would it be remunerative to you? Yes (There’s some compensation for her) Would it change my physical appearance? “It Could” but for the most part, No $5
2 Arlene: Is it a good idea to have music playing? Yes Does dancing come into it in anyway? Yes Are you a go-go dancer or belly dancer? THE SECOND ONE
And Miss X’s real name is…LITTLE EGYPT! The Little Egypt, great granddaughter of the original who performed at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. This Little Egypt has been performing since five, but in nightclubs for about 6 1/2 years. And it pays extremely well…SHOCKER! Wally decides to pay her well by awarding the entire $50.
She went out the wrong way. Should I go get her?
Gene
SECOND GUEST: The Rev. Dale Lend (former assistant pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church)
While attending school for his Masters at New York Theological Seminary, he’s in an occupation. It’s salaried and deals with a service.
1 Arlene: Have anyone ever called you a “swinging minister”? Yes Are you interested in new music? Yes, but it might lead you on the wrong path. Wally lets it go. Since it ruined her plan, Arlene will pass. NOW it’s a No $5
2 Soupy: “You’re the guys who originated turtlenecks” Something concerned with entertainment? No $10
3 Meredith: Does it involve teaching? No $15
4 Gene: Is it a full-time job? Yes Are people’s lives benefited in any way? Perhaps (Let the laughter begin) Sex involved? Yes Families? Mmmm….No $20
5 Arlene: Do you move around from place to place? No $25
6 Soupy: Something that I might come to you? Yes If I had this problem, would I have a problem? Perhaps If I came to you over a period of time, would it change my outlook? The Rev. thinks so When a person finishes coming to you, are they liable not to bother with a particular vice? Gambling, drinking, wild wild women? Yes Do you deal with alcoholics? Sometimes, Soupy Passes
7 Meredith: Are you involved with gambling or card playing? No $30
8 Gene: Do you work with young people or teenagers? (Arlene: “Alcoholic teenagers”) No $35
9 Arlene: Does psychology have anything to do with you job? Psychology made fit in to any job, but overall in this case, No! $40
10 Soupy: Anything to do with Alcoholics Anonymous? No $45
11: Meredith: Do you come in contact physically? Game Over $50
The Rev. must confess: He’s a BARTENDER. He works at Mr. Lacy’s in NYC for the last seven months and graduated from the International Bartending School. No, Arlene it’s not a milk bar. And at the job, Dale’s Reverend Uniform stays at home. On Sunday, he preaches at various congregations as a fill-in. It’s a way to relate to people he wouldn’t meet at work.
MYSTERY GUEST
1 Meredith: Are you in the entertainment business? Yes (sounds like Donald Duck) 2 Gene: Are you an actor? Yes 3 Arlene: Are you also a singer? Yes 4 Soupy: Are you currently starring on your own television show? No 5 Meredith: Are you my father? YES, Gordon MacRae
Gordon’s been doing that “Donald” voice since Meredith’s been a baby. Now he’s doing it with her 2-month-old daughter, Amanda. He was hoping Meredith would catch on, since only Rich Little can do it better. (What about Clarence Nash?) The proud father dotes on his other daughter, Heather. She’s appearing in a movie and previous in a show called “Here’s Where I Belong” Truthfully, Gordon and the missus never gave advice about going into show business. He didn’t even know when Meredith got her first TV role in “My Three Sons”. The girls discovered it for themselves. Meredith said they’d preferred she’d become an English teacher.
Closing: Gene is a Yachtsman. Living in Long Island Sound, he was surrounded by boat races, but only got into it 3-4 years. Moving to Cape Cod, Gene bought a 13 ft. Fiberglas Catamaran and discovered the thrill of sailing against the elements.
He was in a yacht just the other day. He chased his girl around the deck for three hours.
Soupy
Gene gets more time with boats that he did with flying a plane.
The stalling ends so we could get to the real show: Little Egypt showing her stuff!
Host: Allen Ludden Announcer: Lee Vines (Wednesday isn’t available)
Lucille Ball (“The Lucy Show”) and Richard Crenna (“The Sand Pebbles“) 8 vs. Gary Morton (Lucy’s husband) and Ruth Berle (wife of Milton Berle) 24

The password today is Morning. Monday Morning, September 26th, Candid Camera (and) The Beverly Hillbillies join the CBS Daytime Lineup. This new fun with old friends starts as 9am Eastern, 9am Central.
And I tell you, Arlene, it’s much better being here than Saigon.
Wally’s intro, with no context (Why’d you delete the panelists intros, Buzzr??!)
FIRST GUEST: Esteene Del Rio (Chicago, IL)
Some strong whistling as Esteene signed in. She’s self-employed and deals with a product.
Gene: Does what you do bely your physical appearance? Yes Would I come to you? Yes Would it make me happy? Yes Would it cost me a great deal of money? No $5
Arlene: Is the product edible or coatable? Neither $10
Soupy: Would it help my home? We don’t know what kind of problems Soupy has in his home, but generally No $15
Meredith: Does it come in contact with the body? Yes Is it other than clothing? Yes means No $20
Gene: Are there animals other than humans that use the product? Yes “I concluded that” Household pets Yes Canine family? Yes Is it edible? No $25
Arlene: Would the canine wear it? Yes Wear it on the head or neck? Sometimes Does it cover a certain area? Yes Do you make raincoats, fur coats or dresses? ALL OF IT
She designs fashions for dogs, including mini skirts. Selling to department stores, grooming shops out of cloth and paper and. Prices go up to $500, the lowest Wally said was 298. ($298 or $2.98?) Time for a fashion show!
Shelly and Gigi are wearing psychedelic Lame line, changing full-length gown and a mini. Gene decides to help the human model transform. In her hand is Celito, both wearing paper embossed fabric. It’s totally disposable! (The other was cleanable.)
After the break, Wally offers Arlene a fitting for that special outfit; Arlene was more into the dog’s hair
SECOND GUEST: Bernice Gera (Indiana, PA)
She’s self-employed and deals with a service.
Soupy: Is it a service I might come to you for? Perhaps A service I’d come to you rather than you come to me? A reluctant Yes A service that would help physically? It might Would it make my house a better house? Definitely No $5
Meredith: Do you wear a uniform? Yes Is what you do instructive? To a degree, Yes Do you work indoors more than outdoors? Outdoors, So No $10
Gene: He gathers it’s more utilitarian than aesthetic? Yes Anything to do with food? No $15
Arlene: Can we rule out sports? No $20
Soupy: So it can be sports? Yes Is it a sport? Yes Is it a sports with both men and women? Wally’s explanation flew over my head like it did Soupy’s Bottom Line: No $25
Meredith with another wild guess: Are you a girl’s gymnastics instructor? Not this time $30
Gene: The people that come to you benefit physically? Debatable, but Wally makes it No $35
Arlene: Is it a team sport? Yes A sport indulged by men a great deal? Yes Even more than women? Yes Usually a man’s job? Yes If you’re not a instructor, are you a lady umpire? YES
Mrs. Gera work for semi-pro with police departments. She next wants to get into real minor league baseball. And she used to play, hitting 350 footers! You could see her in live demonstrations around NYC with real Major Players such as Roger Maris. Problems in regular stadiums include lack of a dressing room. Soupy says she’d be a good cook because she can dust off the plates! Anyway, Bernice is mostly a base umpire so she doesn’t wear the chest protector. A new one is being designed for her. Mrs. Gera leaves us with her “YOU’RE OUT!”
MYSTERY GUEST
Arlene: Does one find you in the entertainment pages A Deep Yes Soupy: Associated with Television rather than Broadway? High Yes Meredith: Are you a comedienne? yes Gene: Are you appearing on Broadway? No Arlene: Do you appear on your own show? Teary No Soupy; Is there just one of you? Now Yes Meredith: Have you been associated with another person? No Gene: Are you Joan Rivers? YES
And she was afraid they’d never figure her out. Gene has worked with her so often, he’s recognized her voice, despite all her attempts. Exclusively here on What’s My Line?, Joan announces her upcoming talk show. She promises it won’t compete with this show. Tapings start in two weeks. Being on the Tonight Show has been her big career boost. From seven bucks a week working office temp, her salary has skyrocketed…up to $12 a week. Joan also mentions the “Upstairs at the Downstairs” club where she works with her husband. They also have a seven-month-old to watch. Wally gets Joan to talk about writing her material. Soupy mentions how few women are out there in comedy. “Don’t get me started” “Show them your Mickey Mouse (watch) ” “I’ve gotta give it more cheese”.
Joan: Show them your Mickey Mouse (watch) Soupy: I’ve Gotta give it more cheese
Closing: Soupy’s history with throwing pies. It started in Cleveland in 1950, and in those days, he’d whip up eggs or cream. One director gained lots of weight from eating offset. Many stars have gotten “creamed” by Soupy including Frank Sintara, Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Shirley Maclaine and Jimmy Durante. There’s also a plug for his 25th High School reunion at West Virginia.

The password today is SERVICEMEN. How long has it been since you’ve written to a serviceman overseas? Remember, he deserves and needs your support.
As usual, there are three men that say “My Name is Mitchell Parish”. Only one is the real deal and it’s up to the panel to find out. First, Bud reads the affidavit:
I, Mitchell Parrish, live in the suburbs of New York City. In my youth as an amateur, I boxed with Barney Ross and Tony Canzoneri. I have also worked as a clerk in New York City Court. In 1950, I graduated from College—Suma Cum Laude. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa. By professions, I am a songwriter. I wrote the lyrics to many songs including “Deep Purple”, “Stars Fell on Alabama” and “Stardust”. I swear that the above information is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Signed, Mitchell Parrish
In this early version, the panel have multiple turns to question our contestants. Thirty seconds each, up to five minutes.
HILDY: #2: When you write the lyrics to songs, do you write them in New York City? Not necessarily. Where did you write Stardust?: In New York Did you collaborate with someone? Oakie Carmichael wrote the lyrics Did he come to New York? He was already there Hildy just started with #3 before her time was up
DICK: #3: What have you written lately? Sleigh Ride and Clare de Lune (struggled with the answer) Who was the first to record Deep Purple? Benny Goodman
POLLY: #1: The Definition of a bridge in music: The release in the chorus #2: Same question Same answer but adds, “It only comes out after the third 8 Bar” #3: How many bars in Stardust? 16 #1: Same question, 32 #2: Same question, 35
MIKE: #1: The lyrics to Deep Purple: “When the Deep Purple Falls Over Sleepy Garden Walls” #2: Continue: Time’s up
BACK TO HILDY: #3: You were a clerk in a court in New York City, what methods did you use to record what was going on” He says he was a clerk for a municipal court, only making appointments not recording, in the capacity of…Time runs out
DICK: #3: Finish the lyric: All I Want for Christmas is a Girl Millionaire. He thought it was “Billy Nair” “A girl would come from Texas with a rose in her hair“ #2: Same line “With a Million of her own and another million to Spare” (Round of Applause) #1: Saved by the Bell
POLLY: #1: Finish Dick’s Challenge: “A girl would come from Texas with an oil well in her Hair” Who has the big record on Clair de Lune? Perry Como When did you write the adaptation of Clair de Lune? No Time
MIKE: #3: What school did you graduate from? Colombia What subject?: Psychology #1: Same questions, New York University in English and Modern European History #1: What year did you box with Bonnie Ross? In the 30s Who was heavyweight champ in 1930? All he knows is that he didn’t spar with him.
HILDY: #3: When you set out to write the lyrics of Clair de Lune did you have to get permission? No, it was public domain. #1: Said he did have to get permission from the French Estate of Debussy. Who hits harder, Bobby Ross or Tony Canzoneri? Tony TIME’S UP!
VOTING TIME:
The group of three will get $250 for each incorrect vote.
Polly: #1 Mike: #3 Hildy: #1 Dick: #3
THE REAL MR. MITCHELL PARRISH is: #1 ($500)
#2: Carl Panke, investment banker in New York
#3: Ted Nelson, public relations counsel
Mitchell reveals he wrote Stardust in ’31 and how he used to work out with Bobby Ross in the gym. Polly asks Ted how he knows so many musical terms. He got it from musician clients, but Polly figured it out getting Stardust wrong. Mike found it hard to believe how Mitchell forgot his own lyrics. Carl studied music, and that’s how he followed up on the Stardust question.
SECOND GUEST: Hermoine Zanacki

Bert Convy (Shoot Anything With Hair That Moves)
Arlene Francis, who wishes Wally a Happy New Year!
FIRST GUEST, but first the blindfolds. Mr. X X
I’ll just say Mr. X X came through the audience and went past the panel coming to the set. Wally says he’s in the entertainment business.
Bert: We’d recognize you on sight, wouldn’t we?
Have you been in the news recently? Perhaps, but also at any time. Is what you do significant to us? We’ll say it’s to find out who you are AND what you do Do you do this in front of large audiences? Yes In Television? Again, COULD BE In the broadest sense, is this a physical act? Yes Do you wear a costume? Yes, and you recognize him pretty quickly. Does it have to do with the circus? Not directly, but still Yes Would you be a clown? Absolutely Not $5
Arlene: Is what you’re wearing like an animal skin? Yessss! Are you inside of something in the shape of an animal? Yes Do I need to find out what kind of animal? More of a general area what he does (“What is he, like Jonah?”) Do you clean up (RE-DO) or destroy anything? You’re close, but Wally’s ending this game already.
Mr. X X is Stunt Man Janos Prohaska, a CREATOR OF MOVIE MONSTERS, and who came in dressed as an extra from “Planet of the Apes”. Prohaska just happened to be Soupy’s double for a movie. He’s the chief monster man in Hollywood for a long time making chimpanzees. Oh, and here’s another of Janos’s creations…a ROCK MONSTER. “Thank you, Johnny Olson”. Other costumes are brought out, all made by Janos. They decide to made a bird out of Bert, putting a Coo-Coo Bird costume on his head.
SECOND GUEST: Stella Owen (Swansee, Wales)
Stella is the official national hostess of Wales and is playing a role when Charles is made Prince of Wales. What we’re talking about is a day job, salaried and dealing with a service.
Soupy: Do you do it outside? (The job) Sometimes I mean, an outside object, but you can do it inside? Yes Done on certain farms? No $5
Shari: Would I come to you? Yes Would you touch me in any way? Yes, but not necessarily. Would it enhance me physically? Eventually In a form of something you’d say to me? It would, but it’s not a basic part, so No $10
Bert: Would anything be exchanged? No $15
Arlene: Anything to do with physical exercise? Yes Do you instruct? Yes, and Arlene figures out the rest. Stella TEACHES PHYSICAL EDUCATION
It’s at a Junior/Senior High School and also teaches dancing and skin diving. Currently touring the U.S., she’s inviting guests for the future king’s investiture. Arlene is expecting Mr. Burton to be there (Actor Richard Burton, I presume). Besides her beauty, Stella’s position as Hostess come from her knowledge of Welsh accents and affairs. Not to mention being educated and speaking abilities. She has a doll dressed as Charles will be for the big event; robe, crown, silver sword and all. Also shown is a replica of the crown shown identical size. I’m not going to try to spell out her translation of “What’s My Line” in Welsh.
MYSTERY GUEST
Arlene: Known primarily for work in motion pictures? No (Sounds weak) Soupy: Primarily for Television? No Shari: Are you a boy or a girl? (Doesn’t count) Are you currently appearing in this here town? Yes Bert: Are you in theater? Yes Arlene: Play in Broadway? Yes Soupy: Is it a musical? No Shari: Is it a play that originated in another country? No Bert: Is it a comedy? No Arlene: Is it a play that received enormous acclaim and was tried out in another state? Pause, “Did someone leave the stage” Not in another state Soupy (with 30 seconds): Is it Donald Pleasance? NO! Shari: Do you have laryngitis? No, but you will in two minutes. Are you in a play with a small cast? No Bert: It has to be James Earl Jones? YES!
Arlene calls out his answer that the play “The Great White Hope” DID open first in Washington. D.C. But D.C. is not a stage. With that out of the way, she remembers to praise Jones for his work. He recounts how the play was supposed to just be at the Arena Theatre and never expected to come to New York. Especially hard with such an enormous cast as they were talking about.
HONEST ANSWERS
For Bert: “Where do you buy those beautiful clothes?” Answer: He makes them himself! No wait…he had a tailor make the suit he’s wearing. The shirt was bought here in New York, imported from England. It’s bright yellow to match the tie. (Close Up) Not too expensive actually.
For Soupy: “How did you get to be coach of the Harlem Globetrotters?” Answer: They needed help. Wally says it was between him and Vince Lombardi, but Soupy says it was Guy Lombardi. The team is a bunch of great clowns, from one to another.
And as the credits roll, Janos and Johnny O. invade the panel in full costume.
Lucille Ball and Roger Bartman (Hermosa Beach, CA, ski film producer) 8 vs. Gary Morton (husband) and Linda Bammer (Woodland Hills, CA, enrolling in UCLA this fall majoring in art) 19
Lucy’s wearing another fur mink. Gary says “Wait’ll the wind changes!” He should know, he bought it for her.
Martin, in the lead, gets $100. Both he and Judy return to start over Monday. Celebrity guests will be Rose Marie and Bob Denver. Lucy lists more of the guest stars that’ll be appearing on “The Lucy Show” coming up. Now that it’s in color, Gary is sending crayons so families with B&W TV’s can color by numbers.
The password today is Worthwhile. Your weekend is always more worthwhile if you take a moment to say thank you for your blessings as you worship with your family.
