Lily Pons What's My Line? : Season 6 Episode 26

Bennett Cerf returns from his month long vacation in Hawaii and joins regulars Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen and Arlene Francis. John Daly introduces the first contestant, Mr. Louis Ross from Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Ross is a bullfighter and Arlene Francis successfully identifies his occupation. In the second round, a Nevada gentleman, Mr. Walt Hollingsworth is presented. At this time, the panel would get a free pass and try to guess the contestants' occupations by the look of them. Bennett Cerf hit is spot on and guessed, correctly, that Mr. Hollingsworth fixed slot machines at gambling casinos. John Daly and the panel are amused and surprised, for these speculations from the panel rarely prove correct. Next up is the celebrity guest, Lily Pons, celebrated coloratura soprano at the Metropolitan Opera and an actress. Bennett Cerf, yet again, correctly identifies her. At the time, Miss Pons was married to the very popular Russian-American conductor Andre Kostelanetz, as John Daly mentions. The final contestant is a gentleman from New York, Mr. Steve Ellis, who is a hypnotist. Unfortunately, John Daly had to call time and revealed Mr. Ellis's profession to the panel.
