what my line our award-winning what's my line panel first the popular Broadway columnist who's voice of Broadway appears in papers from coast to coast Miss Dorothy Kilgallen we're very happy to welcome back tonight fresh from the old sod just back from this trip to Ireland our favorite leprechaun Fred Allen Thank You Dorothy and I didn't think that I'd have to come down here tonight tell you the truth because when I got home I found one of the new What's My Line games at the house and I thought I was supposed to stay home and play the game at home tonight I understand incidentally if you buy this game the mystery guest that goes with it is a lady who's at my left miss alley in France Thank You Fred and welcome back and on my left a gentleman who weathered the storm tossed roads from Marcus go to New York tonight DRI am i and behind the ears I'm happy to say mr. Bennett sir he doesn't finish up that I was dry well I'm I left as a gentleman who also had to get through the storm but as Herodotus is said about him neither snow nor rain nor flood nor gloom of night stopped this model panel moderator and the Swift completion of his appointed rounds John Daly and for those old Greek skaara scholars he just gave me a fright and truth annex allow my duo spot mos and anybody overtook Greek will shiver right near teeth right now well we're up to our old tricks on Sunday night in spite of the fact that the Northeast is known some bad weather we've managed to invade some very nice people with some interesting occupations to come and see us and I think we ought to give the panel a chance to prove their usual talents and merits in this area we'll have a famous guest challenger in Oh a few moments but right now I think it's time for these experts of ours to meet our first challenger so would you sign in please sir JL Jay L Goldberg is that right and where you promised Gobert New York City New York City well you didn't have any trouble getting here tonight so you're not all tired out is Bennett Cerf he's tired and I am tired so take a hike would you please to let the panel get a closer look at you go buddy anyways in the Rube Goldberg hello mister Gover Gover would you come over here and join me now here mr. Goldberg and I would ask you first of all if you are familiar with our scoring system are you I am something all right fine every time you can say no properly we flip a card ten flips and you win the game now let's set the folks at home and our friends here in the theater know exactly what your line is I will tell you panel that mr. Goldberg is salaried and with that let's begin the general questioning with Dorothy Kilgallen mr. Goldberg do you deal with both men and women in your work I do uh does your work keep you in New York State most of the time no one down and nine to go mr. Allen why doesn't it keep you in New York I knew when you went to Ireland because couple with you when you got back well I I went out of the state it's not bad John occasionally tell me I mr. Goldberg do deal and services I do are your services available for men and for women for they are do the people come to you for these services they do they come to you do you have an office of any salt or salt where you work I have and you have regular hours that you perform these services right you have I would say this if I may to put it in the proper context in light of the answer that was given to Dorothy that while mr. Goldberg is from New York and may not be in New York to that degree he has always wherever he may go a base of operations which may be described as an office and a working period which made his B subscribers back ha ha oh yeah John may I inject a non-sequitur yes good do you think the Princess Margaret will married I but tell me mr. Goldberg do you and the performance of your of your services do you wear a uniform or a something different some clothing different than you were at the present time different when you perform the services do you touch the people in any way do i touch put your hands on I don't mean borrow money from them that is a way of a thriving making a business thrive but I mean do you put your hands on them in any way you touch them no I don't you dumb all conference please maybe he can't see what he does so occasionally advice of counsel y'all John is a good counsel do you do you touch these people below the knees why'd it be a chiropody I don't eat stuff alone dude on a date to go that's a no answer miss Fred mr. Goldberg nobody's asked you whether there is a product involved in what you do um I suspect that there is not would I be correct oh boy did I get around that bad I've been cheated when you go around are you in any sort of a vehicle of transportation in your job I am you are what was that well actually the the question was are you in a week vehicle of transportation as you move from one place to another I've just pointed out that I thought properly the answer should be sometimes because unless you can walk you would be in some vehicle of transportation uh-huh and money could go piggyback do people uh in any way buy tickets in order to avail themselves of your services oh come now dispense with no ticket no tickee no Washee no actually I would say this but it's reasonable to presume that our guests might appear by accident or design at some sort of an occasion which would require ticket taking but this does not necessarily mean that his presence would be requiring the ticket taking I don't know whether I got a yes or no or maybe or how have you been yes no I go on use me Arlene but could I ask a question for purposes of clarification working at a conference yeah you can define because that's that last thing threw me off are you talking about he can appear somewhere as a speaker or something and people would buy tickets or are you talking about his work we tried to find out his work I would say that in the pursuance of his normal occupation it is possible that he might appear somewhere where the taking of tickets would be a natural concomitant of the holding of the general gathering now do you know it's not necessarily we were better off before John started talking when when you say that you wear something other than what you wear now would it be a coverall to protect you against mr. Guevara is a there's an air of elegance about you that's true which leads me to wonder whether you have ever had anything to do with show business now you should pour down in six to go and I'm going to give you one minute more because you don't seem to be getting close to it mr. Goldberg have you ever had anything to do with the judicial system of our country or state or locale judicial system no no there will be five down and five to go mr. Allen well do you in the process of dispensing these services you I pass I think you've got a wonderful idea Fred I'm gonna flip in the towel for all of you and I want you to meet captain Joshua Goldberg of the United States Navy's Naval champion baby of naval champion and chaplain is what I was trying to say and I would say this but we are particularly pleased to have captain Goldberg with us because I think this week has a rather particular significance for the the sort of thing that he's in the United States Navy for so why don't you say a bit about may I just say that I to present the layman's national committee that sponsors the observance of Bible Week which begins tomorrow all I can say to the very large audience and with gratitude to the judges and yourself mr. Daley make the Bible known make it your own yeah thank you very much didn't doctor dr. Goldberg get on the wrong program shouldn't he be on 64,000 think he probably should well paddle that was a very tough one let's see what you can do with the second challenge would you sign in please sir Alfred Alfred machine oh is that right where are you promise to marry all from Florida well I'm a little embarrassed about talking to anybody from Florida tonight it's been an awful wet up here this past weekend I understand it once in a while you have a little heavy dew down your way and I won't offer too many apologies I've heard you're due has been a little heavy lately - so will you just give me my due and walk down in front of the panel thank you how do you do tell me she know you're not here with a due bill by any chance all right mr. bliss you know when you go over here please and sit down you know how we score this operation yes well fine if you know how we scored let's let the folks at home our friends here in the theater know exactly what your line is mr. Makino is self-employed let's begin the general questioning with Fred out ah mr. machine Oh is your name Justine you know the audience left when they were apprised of your occupation is it something that causes you to go around laughing all day long as you do whatever it is you to do sometime sometimes but do you or is there a product involved in what you do well why is it funny he has no product he sold them all mr. machine oh you had quite a nice handshake does Braun have anything to do with your job you're quite strong no no I wouldn't think so you don't have to be strong to do what he does to go mr. Machin now you just said you were from Florida but you neglected to say what part of Florida was that deliberate oh oh oh that was my fault Bennett I just got taken with the weather that's all would you like to know what part of our tea would Andy are you from the Miami area run in there something no in the best Coast the west coast well the west coast of Florence yeah tonight's a big difference yeah mr. Machin now is the do you perform a service then yes and you're self-employed yeah do your extreme good looks have something to do with the service three down and seven to go home is gil-galad and bet if you will get the humor this after a while well in other words you could look any way at all and still do what you do does what you do benefit both sexes yeah would you say one sex was more benefited than another no no I don't think so to the degree the service the twister machine Oh delivers does give some sense of well-being or pleasure or benefit to the sexes I think we must hold that it is given equally that's four down and six to go mr. Allen is mr. machine I'll have anything to do with animals animals wouldn't care what he looked like only indirectly yeah I would say - the Moschino has something to do with animals in an indirect sense well he is he engaged in any form of show business with the circus or anything like that yeah you are you don't her he has a large head I don't think that he puts his head in the lion's mouth because that wouldn't be very interested also wouldn't be a service either except for the lion would have dandruff on his tonsils later on do you train animals in any way no that's five down and five to go miss Frances uh is there something about you mr. machine oh that we cannot see that I don't think I'll finish this up this is what made the audience laugh is there something about you not visible to our I hear that makes you valuable in the job that you have some physical attribute yes that makes six down four to go mister sir mr. machine oh let's come right out with it is it Sarasota that you come from and have you something to do with the circus we're not come from Sarasota here then you are you in some way connected with the Ringling Brothers Circus no Kevin darlin three to go and I'm going to give you another 30 seconds well are you connected with any circus or have you been connected with any other oh uh is what you do a performing service do you perform for audiences yes does your performing require some special agility if not strength does your performance require some special agility I'm gonna flip the cards on the basis of time I think perhaps you would have gotten to it if we'd had another hour - yeah is he a fire eater or a sword swallower fire eater or something I wanna know he plays the rear end of a horse thank you very much you Bennett he mr. machine Oh has appeared with the Ringling circus but he doesn't have to be with them currently where's the rest of him get away tonight he's active enough to be the front end John I think that that requires agility keeping out of the way of the front end well but I think that's forced upon you it doesn't necessarily require a special skill now we come to the special feature of our program the appearance of our mystery celebrity for which my friends on the panel of blindfolded blindfolds all in place panel yes good will you come in mystery Challenger and sign in please in the case of our mystery Challenger we go to a different form of questioning you ask one question at a time in turn moving clockwise and we'll begin with that it serves well that torrential applause usually means somebody in show business are you so situated that's yes that's yes all right let's Gilgal uh have you appeared on the stage that's yes - huh are you in television oh that's yes - it's with a dog act are you a leading man that's no one anymore mister sir are you a comedian oh that's two down that eight to go this Kilgallen have you ever sung publicly that's three down and 3000 mr.
