one of these men spent two years studying the psychiatric techniques of
African witch doctors what is your name please my name is Raymond Prince
my name is Raymond Prince my name is Raymond Prez only one of these men is
the real Raymond Prince the other two are imposters and will try
to fool this panel Tom Poston Peggy Cass Barry Nelson and kitty Carlisle
home to tell the truth with your host bud Collyer
ah here this evening down
well it's fun to work in ready to tell the truth brought to you this week by
Amazon the headache remedy with a special combination of ingredients to
relieve pain to relax tension and to soothe irritability Anacin
alright are we all ready and set to go yes eager and okay would you open up
that envelope then and follow along as I read I Raymond Prince I'm a psychiatrist
some time ago while working in Africa I had an opportunity to make a study of
tribal witch doctors I spent two years living among the natives observing their
witch doctors in action I studied sorcery and the medical use of
rare and exotic remedies for sickness and disease as a psychiatrist I was most
interested in the native methods of treating mental illness the witch
doctors treatment can cost up to $300 and takes about three months it can last
much longer if the patient doesn't pay in advance I must conclude that our
modern psychiatric techniques are really not much superior to those of some
African witch doctors signed Raymond Prince
Anneliese see gentlemen all claim to be dr. Raymond Prince psychiatrist and
expert on witch doctors that starts the questioning with Peggy Cass
Peggy thank you but um dr. Prince number two uh it says here that you
worked in Africa but I would like to know what's the name for witchcraft in
Haiti I don't know Oh see well a number three does each tribe have its own
doctor yes typically each tribe does um number one I saw a movie once in which
the witch doctor wished the fella would die and he died is that possible I
believe it is number three American psychiatrist can't do that can they if
they do they don't talk about it where did they get the $300 well the people
have a currency or they can do a certain amount of field work on cocoa
plantations Barry knows number two are many of these difficulties marital in
nature do they have surprisingly yes not here
yeah number one what does juju mean um it's a
word to describe a kind of bad medicine or oh you did it do you agree with that
number two yes does it have an object of veneration
in mind by any chance if I understand number three does do you have anything
to do say with superstition juju was a matter of high power it's a matter of
great power bestowed on the birthday thank you number one does the
psychiatrist have to have an MD degree yes number two does the psychoanalysts
have to have an MD degree No number three where is Macumba practiced
I don't know number one where is voodoo practiced IT
number three can you tell me exactly where you were number two
yes Nigeria in Nigeria number three when you were in Nigeria what do these people
give in terms of 300 psychoanalysis is expensive there as it is here
the Nigerian population of course does have the Nigerian pound so they do have
a currency but goats pigs hogs and so on are thank you number one do they believe
in dolls are just expensive no but Tom poster does Tom thank you number three I
understand that some African tribes have two different kinds of medicine men is
that correct very often you'll find that there's more than one medicine man their
techniques will differ in the same triumphalism number two now it seems
here that these are patients are obliged to pay is there such a thing as African
socialized medicine no the witch doctors are very strong on this point they want
to be paid or else they won't release their patient now you can vote for or
again it as you mark your ballots immediately please without change and no
consultation of course permitted as you vote now more number one number two or
number three
our team of challenges will receive two hundred and fifty dollars for every
incorrect vote all ballots mark very well Tom for whom did you vote I voted
for number one I didn't get a chance to ask him any questions and I think he
deserves something Peggy cares your choice I thought it for
number three I always thought jujubes all those
things that you ate in the movie
never once said that should to be psychiatrist psychiatrist does not have
to be a medical doctor and a psychoanalyst I always thought it'd have
to be a medical doctor that's what my husband tells me you know analysts have
to be doctors to has to do with the venerating subs object that has a
something to do with superstition that's what it is it's not as funny but prince
is the same man who psychiatrist just came back he said that he cured a native
and he charged him a price and the native wouldn't pay him he says I have
to pay the witch doctor he said why I cured he says yeah but the witch doctor
sent me to you one kitty I voted for number three because I thought he gave a
good answer about juju not what you read in the movies and the other two were
marvelous though it may well be anybody there it's evenly split as I see it it's
two for number three two for number one over that we go into the charm circle of
truth to find out whether there's been any next put on this voting and if you
learned how close to the truth you have come and find out which of these
gentlemen is a psychiatrist and expert on witch doctors so will the real dr.

what is your name please my name is Victor trucco my name is Victor trucco
my name is Victor trucco and so my friends follow along if you will and
listen while I read I victor trucco I'm an assistant conductor and also a
prompter at the legendary Metropolitan Opera House as an opera prompter I
follow the score and help those singers on stage who may have forgotten the
words or the music or possibly have gotten mixed up in their stage
directions I said facing the performers in a special opening set in the front of
the stage right at the center of the footlights
I am shielded from the audience's view by a low hood my head is just above the
level of the stage since my back is both to the audience and to the conductor I
must follow his beat through a rear view mirror the position of the prompter
exposes him to hazards from onstage these include flying plates overly
energetic dancers and assorted animals such as horses and donkeys signed Victor
trucco
very well panel you've heard these three gentlemen all claiming to be the same
one by name Victor trucco by occupation the hazard is one of being the prompter
at the Metropolitan Opera House I start this cross-examination with Barry Nelson
all right Thank You bud number three how many rehearsals do you
have to attend on an opera that depends on the Opera where there is a routine
standard opera or how many rehearsals doesn't operate normally have it the men
well standard opera like Traviata of course
will get much fewer rehearsals on the new opera like the last savage number
one Joan Sutherland tried a new part recently do you know what that is
let's try Yatta number three again Richard Tucker tried a new part this
season do you know which part that is yes he did Trovatore number two this
being a prompter what kind of a background do you need for that well
basically you study the scores of the opera primarily the vocal scores as
opposed to the musical scores Kitty number one how many stage managers are
they to push the people on and off during an opera oh there are about seven
or eight Thank You number two who is the director of choreography at the
Metropolitan that is Alicia mark over this year Thank You number three how
many languages do you prompt in four for number one when you prompt it for people
all at once how do you give them each the cube well you usually give the cue
to the most important one and let the others fall by the way snowy you help
them hours but it's better to be a primadonna than number two what what have you
been hit by when you've been in the prompt box well being hit in the bow and
there is always a danger of flying crossing of course in the copy machine
there is also from time to time a danger of a dancer falling into the prompters
thank you Tom Poston number two what are you doing there you can't prompt dancers
can you know when the ballet is on of course I can
sit if it is a long ballet as for example in Aida I can leave the
prompters box and get a cup of coffee downstairs and the electrician's or what
have you thank you number one do you conduct I
Duke and I haven't conducted a Metropolitan but I do conduct now do you
ever conduct in addition to the conductor whom you can see in the mirror
well I have to do all sorts of conducting to the singers you know from
my teeth yes Thank You number three do you recite when you're in the prompters
box I don't know just what you mean well let me put it this way do you ever
recite aloud I read them the lines if they have lines is always gonna loud
fairly now thank you thank you number two do you have the score in the
box with you I have the vocal score which has only the piano part number
three who roadie pure Thani bonini and number one Garson Kanin
directed an opera at the Metropolitan could you please tell me the name of
that opera I think it was the fledermaus thank you number two who conducted its
palais know last summer that was thomas shippers number three who does line
store conduct for boston symphony returned saxon nice to sing
remember to who what does the man or woman play the Marschallin oh that's a
woman remember that's a shame I tell you I'm amazed at how much you all know but
in any event it's time to see how well you put your knowledge together by
marking your ballots if you will please for the one you think is the real one
vote now Peggy vote now without consultation and vote
for number one number two our number three
Oh mark all right Tom we start with you again for whom did you vote I voted for
number one because at the beginning when they introduced these gentlemen up on
the platform he stood like this and I guess that's part of
permanent prompters Creek Peggy your joy he did oh I would have been number three
because he looks down my fee was gonna see where those plates with Barry I
thought number one was the proctor because all through the questioning he
looked like the one who was giving us a line I thought they were all absolutely
fantastic I've never seen anything like it but I voted for number one
mostly for Tom's reasons very well then we have three for number one then one
for number three and we go with that one into our truth circle to find out
whether we've hit it on the nose or not and learn now which one of these
gentlemen actually is the prompter at the Metropolitan Opera House so will the
real maestro Victoire trucco please stand up

far as I'm concerned have no peers anyway but you really were great you

be given a gift package of all of the fine products and the makers of Anderson
we give you our thanks gentlemen which is not enough I know but you did give us
granted attainment and hope you had as much fun - good night

with your copies I Paula Simmons raised sheep after shearing I personally spin
my own yarn and sell over 40,000 yards of wool yarn a year by careful selection
my husband and I have developed an unusual strain of sheep with very
distinctive wool what makes our sheep unusual is the fact that every one of
them is black to the best of my knowledge I am the only breeder of
exclusively black sheep in the world signed Paula Simmons
Anneliese three ladies all claim to be paula Simmons raiser of exclusively
black sheep in the family so we start this line of questioning with Tom Poston

sheep grower you may know something about in Australia the sheep are in
danger from a bird do you know the kind of bird I'm talking about

that the leader number two please uh if you have a large herd of mixed cheap I
would assume yes but again I have all black sheep yes tea who leaves all they

vote well if you can and see how well you do as you learn marking without
consultation or number one my number two or number three
you're all finished already well that was quick tom which one did you select I
voted for number one because I figure she's got a suit on made out of her wool
the only blacks to that place Peggy she just shook her head oh but that probably
well I thought anybody would say that sheep died of worms really knows him in
must have berry which one you think it is well I think Peggy did hit the nail
on the head if I may throw that epigram managed to do but I voted for number
three I thought she seemed to be a little more confident about it I'll have
one each now with what you're you siding I've voted for number three because a
tag is not a dirty piece the tag is on male sheep silly and and number three
said was very hesitant about the price of wool and I figured that it fluctuates
a good deal so she didn't want to say exactly what it costs because it might
be fluctuating and she spoke all right there we have it
widely split this time for the first time tonight let's see how well we go
into our charm circle with this one in discovering war and discovering the
truth we will now learn which one of these young ladies actually is the real
razor of strictly black sheep so will the real Paula Simmons please stand up
