CBS 30m int(0)
Aired: July 3rd, 1960 @ 10:30 PM EST on CBS
Arlene Francis, guest panelist Tony Randall, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf are on deck this evening. Miss Francis thanks the studio and viewing audiences for their support for her during her recent tragedy. On a lighter note, host and moderator, John Daly, wishes Miss Kilgallen a very happy birthday. This evening's contestants come in pairs and groups. First up, Miss La Velda Rowe and Miss La Vona Rowe, twin sisters from Iowa City, Iowa, who are news photographers. The panel is stumped, so the sisters win by default. Next up, a pair of sisters from Utah, who sell worms to fishermen. Miss Kilgallen, with laser-beam focus, correctly determines the girls' summer occupation. The mystery celebrity guests this evening are the young ladies and gentlemen who appear as the Trapp family singers in the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, "The Sound of Music," a tremendous hit. Lauri Peters, who plays the eldest daughter, Liesl, acts as spokesman for the group, who are identified by Arlene Francis. Miss Francis would like for them to sing, "Do-Re-Mi," but, Mr. Daly says that's not allowed, but says he took his family to see the show and was utterly delighted. Finally, in keeping with this evening's theme, brothers Bernard and Howard Ross of Union, New Jersey, and dentists are the final contestants. Time is short, but Tony Randall correctly identifies the gentlemen's' profession. There is some banter about the upcoming Democratic convention in Los Angeles this Presidential election year, which John Daly will cover before the panel says good night and Mr. Daly invites viewers to tune in next week.
