00:00Let's all play What's My Line?
00:29And now, let's finish this week's What's My Line panel first.
00:36That Fourth of July firecracker whose good humor explodes every day of the year, Soupy Sales.
00:50Thank you. Thank you, Johnny Olsen.
00:52It's a pleasure. Welcome back this fifth day, young lady.
00:55I wish I had a fifth.
00:57Joanna Barnes.
01:09Funny one. And on my left, another funny one and very pleasant one.
01:13Our good friend, Mr. Bert Conger.
01:24Thank you, Blondie. Our next guest is a vision in green velvet.
01:28She's not the Green Hornet. She's Arlene Francis.
01:41Now, this is our 500th show on this five-a-weeker.
01:48And for the 500th time, I've had the pleasure of introducing Wally Bruna.
02:04Thank you, Arlene. Welcome all to What's My Line.
02:07It doesn't seem possible, does it?
02:09They'll wheel us in soon.
02:11And of course, this is also, what, the 21st year of What's My Line, and 500 of the new version,
02:16and I guess what, about 900 of the old version, so about 1,400 shows in all.
02:22But welcome. You must be enjoying them and having some fun with it, as we are too.
02:26And I think we're going to try to set you up with more laughs today, so let's get things underway.
02:30Will our first challenger enter and sign in, please?
02:40Katie Dolan.
02:53Mrs. Dolan, where are you from?
02:55I'm from Seattle, Washington.
02:58All right, panel, Katie Dolan tells fortunes.
03:01Now, some people tell fortunes by reading bumps on the head,
03:04by reading sand patterns, or by reading tea leaves left in the cup.
03:09But Mrs. Dolan reads something else to tell fortunes,
03:11and let's show the audience just what it is that she reads.
03:26All right, panel, you are to find out what it is that Mrs. Dolan reads to tell your fortune,
03:30and we'll begin with Soupy Sales.
03:34Mrs. Dolan, you read something, is it a part of the human anatomy?
03:39No, it is not.
03:40One down, Joanna Barnes.
03:43May we then exclude tea leaves?
03:45Yes, you may.
03:49You do not, is it anything to do with,
03:54I think I read something somewhere, I'm just going to take a flyer,
03:57I read something somewhere once about straws.
04:00Do you read fortunes with straws?
04:03No.
04:04Two down, Bert.
04:06If you were to read my fortune, it is fortune that you read.
04:10Yes.
04:11It's not a personality thing, it's your fortune.
04:13A little bit of both.
04:14Well, it's your fortune.
04:15It's your fortune.
04:16Would it be something that is connected with me that you would read?
04:20Well, not really.
04:22Well, let me say it's something that you have come in contact with.
04:24Well, that's what I mean.
04:26I don't mean that it's connected physically to me.
04:28I mean it is something that comes from me.
04:30Comes in contact.
04:31Comes in contact with me.
04:34Your dollies.
04:35No, it's not my dollies.
04:37What kind of a thing is that?
04:40No conferences, please.
04:41Is it something like when somebody can tell from your handwriting?
04:48Is it in that vein, would you say?
04:50No, it is not.
04:51Three down, Arlene.
04:53Does it have anything to do with either color or tarot cards?
05:01No, it does not.
05:02Four down, Sue.
05:04This thing that you tell the fortune of, Miss Dolan,
05:07is it ever found on the human body like in some form or shape
05:16or like in a pocket book or a pocket?
05:20No, we hope.
05:21Five down, Joanna.
05:23I think she reads fortunes in Coca-Cola or something.
05:26Now, let's see.
05:27Or oatmeal mush or something.
05:29Is this an edible thing that you read fortunes in?
05:38A food of sorts?
05:40In a broad sense.
05:41In the broadest sense, yes.
05:43Is it solid rather than liquid?
05:46No.
05:47Six down, Bert.
05:49Now, wait a minute.
05:50This is silly.
05:51You mean to tell me that if I eat something, you're going to...
05:54No, you can't know.
05:55She reads a fortune in your martini.
05:57Well, we've established that it's a liquid.
05:59Oh, we've established that it's a liquid.
06:02How in the world can you read a...
06:04Oh, I just had a terrible...
06:05Never mind.
06:06Ladies and gentlemen, you read something in a liquid.
06:11Now, if the liquid has come in contact with me,
06:13then it must be something that I've either taken a bath in or I have drunk.
06:17Which is it?
06:19Don't help him.
06:21It's something that I have taken a drink of.
06:24Yes.
06:27Isn't this strange?
06:29Take a guess.
06:30Well, it's got to be after I drink some booze,
06:32then you know what kind of fellow I am.
06:34Is that right?
06:35That's right.
06:36Sort of.
06:37Now, what kind of booze?
06:38What kind of booze?
06:40Is it scotch?
06:42No.
06:43No.
06:44Arlene, seven down.
06:46Is it gin?
06:49No.
06:50Soupy.
06:51Is it vodka?
06:53No.
06:54Joanna?
06:55Champagne.
06:56No.
06:57She has won the game.
06:58She reads your fortune by reading foam patterns in empty beer glasses.
07:02Oh.
07:12And in fact, Katie has even written a book on it.
07:15And the book is entitled Foamy Fortunes.
07:18And you're a freelance writer as well as a TV personality in Seattle, Washington.
07:22And you've got this little book.
07:24Each of you can decide how to do it, too.
07:26Figure out how to read foam patterns in beer glasses.
07:28Now, how is it possible to do it?
07:30Well, it's very much like tea leaf reading.
07:32You simply read the foam configurations after the beer has been downed.
07:36And there's nice foam clinging to the glass.
07:38Then you read those.
07:40And you use pretty much international symbols of good and bad luck, etc.
07:44All right, but now listen.
07:45I hate to interrupt, Katie, but rather than just talk about it,
07:47why don't we do it for them?
07:48Let's demonstrate.
07:49Why not?
07:50Okay, I think the best way is right now.
07:51Let's get with it.
07:52Johnny Olson.
07:59Arlene, would you join us first, please?
08:01Come on up.
08:02You don't have to drink for the demonstration.
08:04Now, let's explain so everyone will know, Katie.
08:06No, you can just...
08:07Just pour a glass and then take the glass that you've poured it and empty it into this pitcher
08:11and you'll get the foam in your glass and she can read it.
08:13What's the matter with emptying a little of it in me?
08:16All right, come on.
08:17You are a good sport.
08:19How much do I do?
08:21It's a leaking glass.
08:22That's plenty, really.
08:23That's plenty?
08:24Uh-huh.
08:25Mmm, good.
08:27Here, look at that.
08:30All right, now pour.
08:31I know what you can read.
08:32Come on, pour, pour.
08:35All the way out.
08:37There you go.
08:38There you go.
08:41Now then, you're, um...
08:44Anemic.
08:48You're a very good businesswoman.
08:50Oh, good.
08:51Yes, you are.
08:52Okay, next bird copy.
08:53Anything else?
08:54But mainly, what's interesting about Arlene is that she basically is a mama.
09:00Family comes first, so she's a real mama.
09:03Ellen, may I cut in?
09:04Okay.
09:05Not the glamorous girl.
09:07Okay, let's pour another one.
09:08Bird copy's turn.
09:09Bird, pour.
09:10Okay.
09:14Would you like some?
09:15No, thank you.
09:16That's yours.
09:17I'm a purist.
09:18Quickly, quickly.
09:19It has to be yours.
09:20You're kidding.
09:21No, pour it in the pitcher.
09:22Pour it.
09:23I get the pitcher after the show.
09:25Oh, bird.
09:26I don't care what my fortune is now.
09:28You have a marvelous fortune.
09:30Oh, I didn't pour it out, did I?
09:32Oh, you really should be.
09:34Good romantic interest with a little heart,
09:36and also a figure eight, which means that you're very sexy.
09:40That's enough.
09:41Go sit down.
09:42Go sit.
09:43Okay, Joanna, come on up.
09:49What's happened to this place?
09:50Okay.
09:51Whoopee, I don't know.
09:52Give me the empty glass.
09:53Joanna?
09:54I want to know my future.
09:55Okay.
09:56I'm carrying all my presents.
09:57Sitting here drinking beer.
09:58You may drink or pour.
10:00Why are they all drinking?
10:01Nobody's pouring.
10:03Pour.
10:04Oh, that's going to be fine.
10:08Joanna.
10:09Yes?
10:10You.
10:11Don't tell him.
10:12Don't tell him.
10:13No.
10:14Joanna is very, very brilliant.
10:16She may be...
10:17Have you ever had your IQ tested?
10:18No.
10:19Well, you're a very, very brilliant person.
10:21Then I see this by little masks,
10:23which also are connected with books.
10:24I sound terrible.
10:25But you could change the course of the world
10:27if you put your mind to it.
10:29Wow.
10:30That's your future.
10:31Okay.
10:32That's better.
10:33Thank you, Joanna.
10:34Soupy.
10:35Soupy.
10:36There's your glass.
10:37Yes, sir.
10:38Read it.
10:40Oh, come on.
10:41Oh.
10:42Oh.
10:43I, uh...
10:50Through the teeth and over the gums,
10:52look out, stomach, here it comes.
10:57You're a very funny fellow,
10:58but your heart is crying, Soupy.
11:00Oh, really?
11:01No.
11:02No.
11:03Exciting about Soupy is there's some stars in here,
11:05and this...
11:06There's Sophia Long down there.
11:08And this means that Soupy someday
11:11is going to be the most famous person in this room.
11:14It's going to be a household word,
11:15but there's got to be a big change in your life
11:17before that comes.
11:18Oh.
11:19Well, I got to get out of the business.
11:21That's what I got to do.
11:22Okay, Soup.
11:23Thank you very much.
11:25Thank you very much, Soup.
11:26Katie, thank you.
11:27We enjoyed it immensely.
11:28Thank you so very much.
11:30Watch My Line will continue right after this break.
11:37Thank you, Johnny Olson.
11:38And I'd like to add,
11:39we had so much fun with Katie Dolan
11:41and the Foam Fortunes.
11:42You know, Katie tells Beer Glass Fortunes
11:44at parties and gatherings in and around Seattle.
11:47And all proceeds,
11:48including those from her little book, Foamy Fortunes,
11:50go to the Northwest Center for the Retarded in Seattle.
11:54And she has asked that her prize money today
11:56be sent there also,
11:57and it shall be done.
11:59Oh.
12:02And now, let's meet our next challenger.
12:04So, will you enter and sign in, please?
12:14Jerome Farber.
12:25Mr. Farber, where are you from?
12:27Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
12:29All right, panel.
12:30Jerome Farber's company has developed a product
12:32which we will all be glad to see come onto the market,
12:35and it's one which I'm not quite sure I believe.
12:37No, I do.
12:39But let's show the audience just what the product is.
12:50Now, I'll repeat what I said because I interrupted it.
12:53He has developed a product
12:54which we will all be glad to see on the market.
12:57Yes.
12:58Right?
12:59And we'll begin with Joanna Barnes.
13:01Is this a product which would be used by both men and women?
13:06That's possible.
13:07Yes.
13:08Very likely, very likely.
13:10Is this a product which would be used in the home?
13:13No.
13:14One down, Bert Convy.
13:17Does this have anything to do with automobiles?
13:19No, it doesn't.
13:20Two down, Arlene.
13:23Does it have anything to do with crime detection?
13:25No.
13:26Three down, Soupy.
13:27Does it have anything to do with communications of any kind?
13:30No, it does not.
13:31Four down, Joanna.
13:32Well, it's used outside the home.
13:34Yes.
13:35Is it used outside, that is, without shelter?
13:38No.
13:39Inside something else?
13:40Five down, Bert.
13:41All right, now let's slow it down, gang.
13:43Oh, let's keep going.
13:44Get down to business here.
13:46We've established that it's used outside the home.
13:49However, it is inside something else.
13:51That's right.
13:53Could I get on it or in it?
13:56No.
13:58Six down, Arlene.
13:59Oh, we slowed it down.
14:00Will it help in some way to improve the ecology of the country?
14:06No.
14:07Seven down, Soupy.
14:09Was it established?
14:10Did you say it had something to do with cars and you got to know?
14:13It doesn't have something to do with cars.
14:14That's right.
14:15Now, we're looking for, not ecology.
14:17Why don't you find out if it comes in contact with the body?
14:19Okay.
14:21I know when you ask me that.
14:23Does it come in contact with the body?
14:25Yes, it does.
14:26Ooh.
14:27When it comes in contact with the body, does it come in contact with the body from the waist up?
14:31Yes, it does.
14:32Does it come in contact with the body from the neck up?
14:35Yes.
14:36It comes in contact with some part of your face.
14:38That's right.
14:39How about, does it come in contact with your mouth?
14:43Yes.
14:44Does it ever go in your mouth?
14:46Yes.
14:47Does it have something to do with your teeth?
14:51Yes.
14:52Is it a thing that you brush your teeth with that you can't get cavities?
14:57No.
14:58No.
14:59Eight down, Joanne.
15:00No, it doesn't.
15:01Does it improve either the health or looks of the teeth?
15:05Not directly, I think, would be a better answer.
15:07Right.
15:08Nine down, Bert.
15:09Oh, I don't want to be the one to blow it here.
15:11I was, the next thing, if it doesn't improve or help the health, the next...
15:16I don't think that was clearly what was said.
15:18Yes.
15:19He said, or Joanna said, didn't she, that does it protect...
15:22No, she didn't say protect.
15:23Does it improve the health or looks of the teeth, I said.
15:25Health or looks.
15:26Indirectly.
15:27Only indirectly.
15:28Only indirectly, health or looks.
15:31So, health is protection.
15:36Teeth.
15:37Do you have a guess?
15:38No, I don't.
15:39It's a thing that you don't have to use Novocaine and you don't feel if it gives you a needle.
15:43In the gums and the teeth to operate with the drill and it doesn't hurt at all.
15:48Keep talking, keep talking.
15:49Because...
15:50That's right.
15:51That's exactly right.
16:00The panel may ask...
16:02May I introduce you to Dr. Jerome Farber, who is president of the Electro-Dent Company,
16:06who have developed, here we go, a painless dentist drill.
16:11You're kidding, Doctor.
16:12Not true.
16:17Okay, explain, please.
16:19Well, it's a relatively simple concept.
16:22Our dental drill has a miniature electric generator inside it.
16:26It produces a small electrical impulse that goes into the tooth and has an anesthetic effect.
16:33So, when you're drilling, you no longer feel it.
16:35There is some...
16:36A few patients will have some discomfort, but in the great majority of the cases, it's painless.
16:41Is it now in general use?
16:43It'll be introduced in several months to the profession.
16:45If you have an extra brochure, I'll take it with me and give it to my dentist.
16:48So, we'll get things going in the right direction at the right place.
16:51But, Doctor, congratulations and thank you for joining us.
16:53Thank you very much.
16:58We'll be back to meet the mystery guest as What's My Line continues.
17:06Ah, thank you, Johnny.
17:07And now, here we are once again with the special part of What's My Line.
17:10The time we meet our mystery guest.
17:11Panel in the blindfold securely, please.
17:13Yes, yes, they are.
17:14All right.
17:15Mystery challenger, will you enter and sign in, please?
17:34All right, panel, one question at a time.
17:36Two minutes to establish the identity and we'll begin with Arlene Francis.
17:41Mystery guest, are you a leading man?
17:46Ah, no.
17:51Strange answer.
17:52Not totally agree.
17:53I do not totally agree with our mystery guest.
17:55Yes and no.
17:56Soupy.
18:00Would we know you from your work on television?
18:03Yeah, you could do that.
18:05Joanna.
18:06I didn't hear the answer.
18:07You could do that.
18:08I could do that.
18:09Yeah, I could do that.
18:10I'd do that.
18:11Your work on television, have you had your own show?
18:13Yeah, I had that.
18:15Bert.
18:16Was it or is it an evening show?
18:19Ah, no, it wasn't that.
18:21Arlene.
18:23Are you a very young person?
18:25Oh, my goodness, yes.
18:27Soupy.
18:30When you...
18:31That's a qualified no that you got there.
18:34No, that's a qualified yes because he is not a very old person, so he must be a very young person.
18:38Soupy.
18:39What about the middle ground where the rest of us are?
18:42When you had this show, was it a comedy show?
18:46Ah, that's hard to say.
18:49Sometimes it was a tragedy.
18:53But not, I don't think, really a comedy show.
18:55Joanna.
18:56This was a daytime show.
18:58Did you...
19:00Was it a panel show?
19:02Ah, yes.
19:03Bert.
19:04Well, now let me see here.
19:07A panel show, daytime, um...
19:1315 seconds.
19:14Anybody help me here? Let's see.
19:17I'm trying to think of who we've had.
19:19I can help you, but the game is over if I help you.
19:22Would you like to pass?
19:23Well, it's not Gene Rayburn.
19:24That's right, it is not. Arlene.
19:26Was it a Goodson-Todman show?
19:28No.
19:29Soupy.
19:30There isn't any other.
19:32Oh, wait.
19:33Was it Larry Blyden?
19:34It is.
19:35Larry Blyden.
19:46Of course, Larry is the host of the TV show The Movie Game
19:49and was the host of Personality
19:51and will soon be appearing off-Broadway.
19:54Yeah, in a new play written by Robert Anderson,
19:56which is a fascinating play.
19:58It's actually two one-act plays called Solitaire and Double Solitaire.
20:01And he says it's about loneliness.
20:04I thought it was about marriage.
20:05It just goes to show you.
20:09Sometimes marriages are lonely, I guess.
20:11One of them is about the loneliness of marriage
20:13and one is about the loneliness of not marriage.
20:15And it takes place in the future when there is no marriage.
20:18And it's a fascinating one.
20:20Do you think we're coming to that, Larry?
20:22In real life? I mean, no marriage in the future?
20:25Well, I don't...
20:26As long as people want children, I don't think so.
20:28If they ever stop wanting them,
20:30then I imagine probably it will end.
20:33Or until such time as people no longer need people.
20:38Well, we'll look forward to seeing you in the off-Broadway play,
20:40Solitaire and Double Solitaire.
20:42I hope you can find us.
20:43Where is it?
20:44I don't know.
20:45We'll look.
20:46And thanks for joining us.
20:48Larry Blythe.
20:52Watch My Line will continue right after this word.
20:59Card Chart.
21:01And now 60 seconds for Soupy Sales.
21:03I want to hear that Cary Grant story that you have.
21:06Well, Bert told a story yesterday about Cary Grant,
21:10and I have one.
21:11When I was doing a show in California in 1961 or 62,
21:15it was on a Friday night at 7.30,
21:17and I had hit Frank Sinatra in the face with a pie.
21:19We'd come on in, Jerry Lewis and Bert Lancaster
21:21and Tony Curtis and a bunch of other people.
21:23So we were sitting around one day,
21:24and we couldn't come up with somebody.
21:26And somebody said, who are we going to get?
21:28And I said, why don't we call up Cary Grant?
21:30And he said, are you kidding?
21:31He doesn't do any television or anything.
21:33So I said, well, what can he say?
21:34No.
21:35So I call him up, and his secretary was very nice,
21:37and she said, Mr. Grant watches your show every day at 5.30,
21:40and he's your biggest fan.
21:41What is it?
21:42And I said, well, I thought maybe he'd like to come over
21:44and get hit with a pie.
21:45And she said, oh, that sounds like a lot of fun.
21:46She says, just one moment.
21:47And she puts it through, and he gets on the phone,
21:49and he says, what is it?
21:50And I said, about getting hit with a pie
21:52and everything like that.
21:53And he says, well, I would love to.
21:54And he says, but I'm busy.
21:58It pays $150.
21:59Ladies and gentlemen, Soupy Tales.
22:11It's been great all week long.
22:13No, it hasn't.
22:15But it has.
22:16And I hope you'll join us again next week
22:18for more fun and laughs on What's My Life?
22:29Oh!
22:31Survey said...
