the three roles one of them was made entirely by me signed Walter Castle all right panel just as I heard them you heard all these three gentlemen claimed to be Walter Castle Metropolitan baritone only the real wer Castle is required to answer your questions truthfully you will each question until you hear this signal and at the end of the questioning period you will be asked to cast your vote for

which stage door oh number one is the Shepherd in Tristan um a lady or a gentleman singer gentl number two is it a lady or a gentleman it is usually played not by a lady hi uh number one what other famous Barone now singing with the met at one time sang in Burlesque oh that would be Bob Merill uhhuh number two who uh preceded Rudolph Bing as manager of the Metropolitan Edward Johnson uh number three what is the name of the the music critic at the heral Tribune H the moment campaign number one would you know no right number two Holden down uh number one what is the name of the music critic of the world telegram maybe you don't read mus as a critics uh how long number one has Ezra Dolan been the stage door man at the Met oh I would say about 26 years and how long would you say number two I don't remember the gentleman's name and number three don't know don't know poly Bergen uh number one it it says here that you played all these different roles all in one evening and that's sort of very unusual uh it must have been uh an emergency who got sick uh John McIntyre John McIntyre were you supposed to play one of the roles no I was originally oh he was supposed to play all three of them I see and number two um have you ever played in common yes I have um number three who is Don Jose's girlfriend before he meets Carmen uh mik uh number two Ronnie number three it says here in the avava that you make your own costumes what is a gusset you're better tailor than I number one do you know what a Guss it is no I don't number two it's a tunic it um says here that you also that you sang uh number one I'm sorry that you sang um John the Baptist in salomi I was going to say salomi until I heard I think you're quite right a matter of fact I stand corrected I it is never going a correct an announce I think it is Sal um well who wrote the text the labretto of salame I don't recall that's all the time we have so it's time to vote panel and without consultation would you please mark your ballots before they're Blown Away by a gusset of wind and select number one number two or number three remember please the team of challenges will get $250 for every incorrect vote all marked poly so soon for whom did you vote I'm positive I'm positive it's number three because uh I don't think a gusted is a what did he say it was a tunic a tunic I don't think and number one said that one of the roles that kitty asked him about played was played by a gentleman and it's played by man I think lady the I mean lady yeah anyway he sounded very well I'm positive it's number three anyway title of a new play by Polly Bergen man or gentleman right well I picked number one I know that Augusta isn't a tunic too but somehow every time number one spoke I could hear the road demand delay all right reason enough kitty well they all three sounded like like singers but I voted for number three because number one H did not answer the question about Tristan correctly and ol DS has passed on and I think it must be number three hi Garder well I voted for number three uh I thought it was number one and he mentioned Bob Merill being in Burlesque and he was but when I mentioned Ezra Dolan is the stage stage door man at the Met Ezra is the promotion man at parade he never has been near the furthermore number three looks like he's dressed for the Opera all right fair enough there we have our votes and the reasons we voted the way we did and I hope you're voting right along with us at home we'll find out now how right or wrong we and you are as we discover which one of these three gentlemen is the real Metropolitan baritone so will the real waler castle please stand up thank you sir very much number one would you tell us who you really are and what you do please my name is Dan Deo and I'm a regional field manager for every woman's Family Circle magazine and number two what about you my name is Jack Riley I'm a Salesman in the men's Furnishings Department of Weber and H brers on the corner of 42nd street and Madison Avenue [Applause] some of which clothes He makes himself as you heard well I think in all fairness to Mr Castle it's impossible for him to really get out of all that hair he's wearing tonight so instead of that we'd like to show you a picture of what he really looks like there he is I think and in checking up on the score we find that the panel did Mighty well well tonight on its first round there was only one incorrect vote for $250 from marbor but gentlemen I hope you had fun with your visit to us we certainly enjoyed having you here stop on your way out if you will please and each pick up a carton of Marboro and uh good night and the best of good luck to you let's meet our next team of Challengers what is your name please my name is Judy

would cook a 25 minutes a pound uh please mark your ballot and select number one number two or number three all right Bly have you marked your ballot well I voted for you cuz you were right actually it's about 17 to 20 minutes but you came the close what number did you vote for come on colie oh pick a number um I voted for number three because number one didn't know what a gus it was and I I think I do I think it's a thing that fits on that is it goes it no I won't tell in case he ask the third group but uh and number two it didn't seem to have the information that number three had so I voted for her but you knew how to well Ronnie what about your vote well I was stuck because number two and number three were both right about the beef cattle which is the only thing I knew anything about so I voted for number one because the winner the last time didn't know what a Guss it was either all right Kitty what about yours I voted for number three because she knew how many clubs there were in this country huh and high Gardner you're vot I voted for number three for no reason at all all right there we have it now our votes and how are yours coming along we're going to find out right

United States but not exactly close thank you all right good enough you did very well and just as as the panel did well the first time they didn't do so well this time in fact they did 100% badly but

listen carefully each of the Brett triplets here in assist that she is Maryanne Brett the one who pretended to be the national 4 champion in the last game now since you all talk to the real Maryanne
