Allen I think she models flowerpots I think she's an egg Candler it's dessert I think he's gonna be a bride herself anything well that may be true but that's not the answer we're looking for we let our viewers at home have another look at Miss Mary glory and at the same time we'll tell them what her line is the panel's got to dig and miss far the rules are sympathy itself every time you get a no answer from anybody over there on the panel it costs the panel five dollars we'll keep a record of it up here 10 of these knows and you have won the game miss flora is salaried with that let's begin the general questioning with Miss Dorothy Kilgallen do you work for a profit-making organization mr. yes and you deal in services yes would both men and women be interested in your services hmm their new thing well would you say that your service is applied more to one sex than the other hmm is that the female sex mr. pink elephant mr. al excuse me uh wonder what sex is left that's the male sex I take it hmm I see uh is there a product of any kind connected with what you do yeah is it a product that might be found in the home yes is it smaller than a breadbox yes is it smaller than a loaf of bread yeah ani in a two-story home it'll be found on the second floor would it be more apt to be found on the second floor than the first time you know no I wouldn't think so to doubt a date to go miss Benson is this something that a man would ever but a woman might buy for a man yeah would it be in the category of gifts at Christmas time or birthday time yeah is it anything that a man might put on no yeah well then 307 to go go okay miss flower yes is this consumable it is consumed in the youth here in other words it has to be replaced from time to time because it is either eaten or drunk or used up in one way or another is that right yeah well now would this be used up by being put inside the mouth yes in part yes hmm in part only part of it will be put into the mouth it's no way to peel what all we're trying to convey we don't want to confuse you is that you suggested to did you know you might put everything in the mouth at once well I you see what well good after all this is over miss Chloe would I gather from this am I correct in saying that this would not aid your digestion in any particular way it would not aid your digestion there is I believe the premise that actually it does aid digestion we might you not have a quarrel about this later but to no more naughty things to go miss Kilgallen well when this string is in the gentleman's mouth does part of its show at any time there's no gentleman if it does is this anything that has ever grown at any time even in part yes has it ever been in leafy form yeah is it any form of tobacco yes well is it cigars yes identified the product as cigars but what relation does miss flora have to the cigar she wraps them or you know that thing they do with scars puts one layer on top of another yeah yeah I'm real happy to it actually makes cigars is the right answer very good battle though miss glory you have done reasonably well with the prize Department but more we hope that you've had a good time nice to have you with us and what's my line thanks very much mr. dailing about this about this digestion it may help the man's digestion but I don't think wives digestion or help I know that's true I should have given you a qualified alibi alright now let's see what you can do with another Challenger you've all ready signed in that is Ruth Cooper is that right he can miss or mrs. mrs. Cooper and where are you from mr. Chenault the world March of all new jersey the center of the world miss oval New Jersey little a he wrote it up a Boston ago he's in trouble well out would you be good enough to walk down there in front of the panel they would like to know you a bit better huh that with a moistur school Asmus where's the dough school so nice and made merciful heavens thank you all right mrs. Cooper will you come over here now please and sit down next to me and what we do at this point because you've had a chance to meet the panel and they've had a chance to meet you is to give them one free guess as to what your line may be and we'll begin those free guesses as usual with Miss Kilgallen I think mrs. Cooper raises porkers raises pokers mr. Allen I think she lowers poor courage I think she's a wardrobe mistress mr. sir I think she works in a boys school no I'm afraid nobody has it will let our viewers at home have a further look at mrs. Cooper the same time they will learn let's go for the better I didn't you know at the ruler every time we get a no answer out of accustomed $5.00 we keep the record the ten of these nose and you have won the game this is the last usual bit of help Mrs Cooper is self-employed with that let's begin the general questioning with Steve Allen thanks a lot what from that reaction she must pitch for the Dodgers Mrs Cooper is there in the course of your work B come into contact with a product of any kind I think these people know something um is it a product that might be encountered in the home yes anything funny about that uh could I possibly hold it in my hand uh is it something that a housewife might come into contact with yeah uh could she conceivably come into contact with it at the mealtime yeah uh let me get right to the point is it there is it edible yes I gather I gather from the reaction of the audience that this is something that would not ordinarily be served as the main course something it would be yes it would not be served as a main course not in fact the reaction was so vigorous I would suppose that there are some people who would not even like to eat this at all yeah what do you know I mean this issue of personal choice in almost every decision any of us takes there may be some people who would like to eat this let me think what is edible and I don't like I'm sorry could you possibly put this on a piece of rye bread could you put it on a piece of rye bread yes well we had a conference and we have decided since the question phrased is could you put this on a piece of rye bread that in all fairness to you we should say yes you could put oh I think I'm on the wrong track altogether guys will clear it up though is this the kind of thing that people might like to eat say on crackers in bed better wanted to have a 9:00 to go miss Frances would you be able to purchase this in a store yeah dude out of eight to go mister third Mrs Cooper is this a liquid by any chance could be okay baby does it have any medical properties no I doesn't got the medicine properly freed out a lot of things humble gallon Mrs Cooper is this by any chance something that unless you were terribly eccentric you would never serve dinner yes you would not serve it at dinner no but you said that housewives would come in contact with it and sneak would have come in contact with it you think I might have come in contact with it does this have a variety of aspects would you have it around the house as a result of something else that happened would you have it around the house as a result of something else that happened yeah would you have it around the house as a result of eating meals yes is it something like garbage I see wouldn't put it on Iran that's why we were very careful to say Steve said could you put it on rye bread well you could put it on rye bread I know you want it but now we've identified the product as garbage but what does mrs. Cooper have to do with safe is she by any chance a collector I'm afraid we'd have to buy that because mrs. Cooper actually drives a garbage truck which I meant well very good penalty now in just a moment ladies and gentlemen will introduce our mystery guest but first word of an interesting new product special feature of our program the appearance of our mystery celebrity my friends on the panel would recognize our guest right away so we've provided them with blindfolds of the blindfolds on in place panel yes yes good when you come in mystery Challenger and sign in please all right panel as you know in the case of our mystery guest we always dispense with preliminaries get right down to the general questioning which we will begin with the Arlene Francis uh would you be considered an entertainer yes uh would you be considered a leading man that's peps are you in pictures you mean the moving pictures well I knew he wasn't hanging in the Louvre we would like here because there is a specific point at issue do I repeat the question alright John have you been in motion pictures yes well since there is some concern about the picture angle do you also appear in television yes uh would you be considered a serious actor no what happened I to go mister says um on I asked you ever use any props in your act yes would this prompt be by any chance alive no that's too down a date to go mrs.
