CBS 30m int(0)
Aired: October 23rd, 1955 @ 10:30 PM EST on CBS
Host and moderator, John Daly, asks panelists Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf to don their masks, for fear they might recognize the first contestant. He is the best-selling author, Herman Wouk, author of "Marjorie Morningstar," and the recent Broadway drama, "The Caine Mutiny." Fred Allen identifies the Mr. Wouk and, in conversation with Mr. Daly and Mr. Allen, Wouk reveals that he wrote radio sketches for Fred Allen in the late 1930s until Mr. Wouk left to serve in World War II. The second contestant is Miss Catherine Witton, mayor of Ottawa, the Canadian capital. Arlene Francis identifies Miss Witton with considerable celerity. Tonight's celebrity mystery guest is the Oscar-winning actor, Van Heflin. Mr. Cerf identifies him, and Arlene Francis praises the Broadway drama in which Mr. Heflin is currently featured, Arthur Miller's, "A View From The Bridge." Finally, a Brooklyn woman, Mrs. Relly Weinraub, a wig designer and stylist is urged to sign in by Mr. Daly. Unfortunately, time runs out for the panel, and Mrs. Weinraub wins by default. The group bids good night to each other and to John Daly, who, as ever, invites viewers to tune in next week.
