Bennett on my left of course is a man who was not only news analyst and panel moderator but one of the greatest piccolo players of our time John Charles day just to get the record straight I can't even play a BOSU let alone a piccolo good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to what's my line once again tonight some very interesting occupations some nice people who brought them here we're going to try to fool the panel with them I think we're going to have some success we'll have a famous guest challenger for these experts a bit later on but I think it's time for my friends now to meet the first challenger whose line has to be spotted so will you sign in please sir Raymond Raymond 10 is that right sir you nervous not a bit Wow don't I forgot all about that don't say anymore where are you from mr. bad Oh from New York Oh fine we try to give the panel a little help with contestants we like to give them a chance to see them clothes on so to speak so would you take a hike down there in front of the panel for me what was fun hi Ben Madden all right mr. Patton right over here if you will and sat down next to me I would ask you first of all if you're familiar with our scoring system do you know how we score this operation would you pull your chair in please and then I think all we need to do is let the folks at home and our friends here in the theater know exactly what your line is Paden final mr. Patton is salaried with that let's begin the general questioning with Bennett Cerf mr. vladmir one of the most self composed gentlemen we've had here a long time do you perform a service some kind mr. cook may I interrupt this to me would you lean forward a bit sir this is your microphone it's all you I do do people come to you to have this service perform yes they do well if I were to avail myself of your services would you send my spirits soaring up would possibly possible possible very good answer you mean you could also have the opposite effect on me yes it surely it depending on circumstances that's wrong with these services involve your touching me in any way no that's one down and nine to go miss Kilgallen do you work for a profit-making organization do you use anything besides just your hands in your work I don't you use a variety of things rather than just one thing like a pencil no weather wheel have to have a small conference uh I think mr. Fayden would be willing to agree just to obviate the possibility that we might be unfair or in any way you know deny you the help that you properly should have I think mr. Fenton would be willing to agree that he uses in your terms of reference more than the one intended to be back kind of is me thank you John Oh mr. Fadden do you work in an enclosure yes I don't uh does your work ever take you from one place in the enclosure to another that's fine just a minute may I have another country good deal yes fine all right good Oh does the enclosure ever move around no that's two down and eight to go mr. Lew it might be another bus driver you work in an enclosure that does not move around do you where approximately what you're wearing now in your work mr. Paden there's no special garb of any kind uh your work that is probably more mental than it would be physical is that correct it's more mental yeah more mental well I'm a memory John usually only has this many conferences with a pretty girl you change I think we'll have to give you an O on that because there is a very substantial area of physical effort in this so that's three down and seven to go miss Frances uh may I guess that this enclosure is not an office building may you guess that yeah it is not an office building you said it man oh you were getting ready to say is it a place of entertainment of any kind this place that you work yeah is there any product at all connected with what you do in this enclosure not within our terms of reference man I tell you what my term of reference was yes mm-hmm I was thinking of animals animal now cleared up with no gotcha glad to go this disturb mr. Frieden at the moment there are some events taking place at a couple of baseball stadiums around New York would you have any connection whatever was the Honorables pastime of baseball yeah you have obviously we read oh you're not an outfielder for the Yankees because you're hale and hearty Oh mr. Paden is your work done out of sight of the audience at a baseball game out of the sight of the audience at a baseball game I mean leave the crowd at the game wouldn't see you while you're performing this duty they see me perform litter maybe they don't see you physically while your performance I don't see you physically have you got anything to do with the scoring of the game are you one of the official scorekeepers of the World Series one of the official scorekeepers of the World Series he is not that makes it five down and five do you have anything to do with the numbers coming up on the scoreboard every time the Dodgers get a home run actually I think you hit it right on the head mr. Paden operates the scoreboard at Ebbets Field which is done manually as you know it's not a big ornament anthony they've been a very busy man defense so busy we flip these all over anyway mr. Madden misses must be fun doing this in the World Series is this your first one or have you done this before your sixth world series ever made a mistake up there that gave anybody any trouble it's essentially on a single game it's a sense that a thing of gable thanks very much very good beginning let's see what you can do with another Challenger will you sign in please sir Victor Jean Victor G Perry that right where you promised to bury London England from London big given D Wow golly day you were a big man huh well from London Aron would you be good enough to let the panel have a closer look at you certainly shake hands gently miss Barry how do you do okay alright mr. Perry if you will over here and sit down next to me and I would ask you as I do all are you familiar with our scoring system yes no answer we flip the card you know fine then that's that the people at home and our friends in the theatre know exactly what your line is mr. Perry is self-employed let's begin the general questioning with Arlene Francis she's self-employed and boy you sure employs a lot Harry you have the build for it is there anything physical about your job yes uh would it be considered a sport of any kind that you're involved with no yeah what about an either go with dessert mr. Perry are you in any way connected with the entertainment business yes you are mm-hmm do do people come to see you do something yes uh you're not connected in any way with the doily card company I oh I said you're not yes yes Harry is not connected with the doily card company no uh do uh you have a deep resonant voice do you ever raise it and so on no two down and eight to go make your gallon well when you perform are you onstage in full view of the audience yes and no oh uh well are you on stage but not in full view of the audience sometimes where it is written confuse I think of mr. Perry on stage and not in full view is difficult yeah stage you can clip it these are you ever on stage when you are not in full view of the audience right that was the question that I got we we understood it perfectly will now give her a note that's three down and seven to go mr. Lewis you're sure you're not connected right I mean I'm right in assuming you are not connected in baseball I was thinking of the team of the house of Sir David yes I'm not connected with them you are an entertainer you are sometimes in full view of your audience there are times when you were not does your act have anything to do with the times when you are not in full view of your audience yes it does ah glad to hear that no that's kind of an act does your act involved are you ever involved with members of the audience in your act yes is it a form of audience participation then yes it might be said that the audience participates yes well then you might you might use members of the audience on stage after you had perhaps talk to them or or or would you go down into the audience to bring them up on stage yes is what you do with these people something they like to have done to them yes and no but suppose you perform there your act on me and brought me up on stage would I be happy about it or would I be what let me ask you this are you a hypnotist by no aah that's four down and six to go miss French do you have anything to do with television at all yes do you ever say in the commercials soap milord no mr.
