It's time now for everybody's favorite guessing game what my line brought to
you by Remington Rand makers of the world's number-one electric shaver
the Remington now let's all play what's my live now let's meet our award-winning
what's my line panel first the popular Broadway columnist who's voice of
Broadway appears in newspapers from coast to coast Miss Dorothy Kilgallen
thank you and on my left is a gentleman who has just tipped me off to the
identity of the first contestant on tonight's program he says that the first
contestant is an anchovy embalmer in a pizza bakery, Mister Fred Allen
ladies and gentlemen a young lady who has recently completed this new
recording here it's called music appreciation for the home an analysis
with music of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and Schubert's unfinished symphony
that's a long introduction for a long playing record miss Arlene Francis
biggest commercial I ever heard and on my left a gentleman whom we have missed
very much indeed who tells me that tonight he's quite nervous about coming
back to What's My Line after a wonderful vacation in Hawaii
welcome back Bennet Cerf. I so missed the show while I was away
I missed the check stub on my left is our panel moderator a man the mere
mention of whose name makes every hula girl in Honolulu simply quiver from head
to toe with delight mr. John Daly
and in Hawaii tonight they're saying of Bennett Cerf he's quite a poi and good
evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to what's my line it's very good to have
Bennett back very good to have some challenges for
this panel tonight ohoo I think you're going to give them a kind of rough time
we like to see the battle have a rough time and we're about to get started
giving it to them tonight we'll have a famous guest challenger a bit later but
right now let's let the experts meet our first challenger whose line they'll have
to spot will you sign in please sir Lois
Ross how are you very well thank you you're looking fine and where are you
from I am from Cincinnati Ohio Cincinnati Ohio well it's very nice to
have you here Ohio is a fine state has given us a lot of presidents yes sir and
I hope you give the panel a lot of trouble I hope but they want to get a
better look at you so will you take a hike down there please how do you
alright mr. Ross if you'll come over here please and sit down next to me we
let the panel have one free guess as to what your line may be we call them wild
guesses we'll begin the wild guesses with mrs. Kilgallon I think he's a
master of the hunt mr. alland from Cincinnati I think that mr. Ross is a
vice president in charge of bubbles at the Procter & Gamble so judging by the
pear-shaped tones that mr. Ross uses I think he must be a radio or television
announcer it's deserved you coming from Cincinnati I would say that mr. Ross
puts the tassels on the Red Cross shoes and makeup no I'm afraid not nobody has
it well let our viewers have a further look at mr. Lewis Ross at the same time
we'll tell them what his line is but
for us really how we score this operation yes sir you give them a know
and I'll flip right yeah you give him ten nose and they'll flip okay you all
set all right mr. Ross is self-employed with
that let's begin the general questioning with our vacationer is all rested
Bennett sir back to work back to work boy mr.
Wallace do you perform a service of some kind yes you do yes is it a service that
is performed in front of people yes do the people see you perform the
service that watch you yes do they come to watch him yes they come in groups yes
might they be turned in any broad sense of the word and audience yes or was
there some truce then and what Arleen guessed about you that you're in some
part of show business yes is it radio or television no one down and nine to go
mrs. Kilgallon yes do you then appear in front of live audiences yes
I mean entirely yeah are you do you say lines that were written by somebody else
no do down a date to go mr. Allen you know is there any product involved in
what you do no you're not an option here
well mr. Ross has quite a 10 do you do whatever you do out of doors yes
would it be in the sports world no I would say this if with mr. Ross's
permission I think that technically it might not be true that this is in the
sports world but I do believe that it would be a tendency generally among
Americans to consider it in that general area with your permission we'll give it
a get answer all right miss Frances continue Americans would consider it a
sport it would be a kind - yes I think so is it a sport are there other people
performing the same sport at the same time you are performing no wow he's a
lone wolf
I'm kind of a sporty shy miss Frances you are proving to be actually there are
others involved shall we say at the same time that our guest is to that degree
will give you a qualified yes to your previous question of record oh but he
could do what he does by himself what we would suggest is that what he does tends
to be unique but not always or perhaps very rarely would he be by himself in
the performance of this particular mr. Ross do you use any equipment of any
kind in this performance yes is the equipment something you might hold in
your hand yes is it a club of any kind no four
down and fixed ago mister sir mr. Ross does the work that you do or the
whatever it is that you do require some dexterity yes might you'll be I don't
say that you are but we would it be possible for you to do this work in a
circus yes it would be possible here is it some form of acrobatics so tightrope
walking or something like oh no no five down and five to go and we would know
particularly it could happen in the circus but we don't say that it does
that's five down in five to go mrs. Kilgallon now you said you work out of
doors yes would you be able to do your work in a carnival yes it could be done
in economy yes but you don't do your work in a car no yes yes he does not do
this do you do it in a place of amusement
yes broadly speaking yes is this something that could be done in a city
and in the country - yes do people pay to watch you yes do they pay somebody
else to watch you then you are with yourself employed yes but someone else
takes the money yes and he gets a little cut six down and four to go mr. Allen
I'm going to give you one more minute settled you're not with the circus no no
he's been out of work for so long that he doesn't remember what he does you do
this on the on land yes I don't know what you could possibly do in Cincinnati
I pass all right is it possible that you might not do this particular performance
in Cincinnati yes you say you work outdoors and it's something that might
be in a circus is there an animal involved in your work in any way yes
roses animal yes do you work in an arena of any kind yes
what's ferocious in a circus they show you - the lion is it an animal the size
of a lion or a tiger I'm not sometimes uh could it do you
harm unless you are you do you work with a sword yes are you a matador or a
Picador
I love today you a matador figured or a troubadour you know well that's very
good mr. lien but you don't work in Cincinnati where do you perform in
Mexico in Mexico and in Spain it's actually the spelling of his first name
is Lu is but we thought that would give you too much so we anglicized to
spelling to lure you see well I must say mr. Rock this has been a real tough one

the panel will get its customary free guess it's wild guess as to what your
line maybe we'll begin the wild guesses with Miss Kilgallen I think he's a
croupier at a roulette table a croupier a roulette tables to Allen from Nevada I

term to what our bandit and also lose your wife they're two different process
however but in Reno it's known for that we know it's really understand well this

well I think Fred may has and we put the bullfighter back on again at a fitting
in just a moment we'll meet tonight's mystery guest but first here's ***
stark with a word from Remington rad good evening friends you know just about
every apartment house there are many different men with many different
shaving problems and so what we've done tonight is built ourselves a little old
apartment house right here in the studio in order that I might show you how the
Remington shave solves all these problems now here's a man who obviously
has a very tough beard however he's bought himself a man-sized
Remington electric shaver and you just watched that beard melt away after all
the Remington is powerful enough to shave the bristles off a brush bristles
tougher than the toughest beard and now here's a gentleman who has a tender skin
he uses the Remington because the Remington is gentle it's so gentle it
can shave the short clothes fuzz off a peach without ever harming that tender
skin and this looks familiar just like home waiter usual this man is really in
a hurry and he needs a fast shade and of course that too means the Remington
electric shaver do you remember this demonstration here's a man cheating off
of two weeks growth of beard in a matter of moments Wow the reason the remington
electric shaver is so fast is because it has three extra-long diamond home
chaining heads that means more live shaving surface you just take it from me
no matter what your shaving problem may be the remington the electric shaver is
the perfect answer
all right sir I just wish you'd stop in and pick yourself up a man-sized
Remington electric shaver on the 14-day free trial plan that's offered by most
dealers give yourself the one shave that's clean and comfortable and fast
give yourself the remington shave
