and beaten five opponents.
His earnings total $44,800.
How much longer can he continue his winning streak?
We'll find out in a moment as...
From Hollywood, it's everybody's game
of strategy, knowledge and fun.
It's Tic Tac Dough.
[audience applauding]
And now, here's our host,
Wink Martindale.
[audience cheering]
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, our big winner, who has $44,000 plus,
is back with us again.
And I guess you have been playing right along with him.
He is doing extremely well,
but he just may have met his match.
We just had gotten the game underway when we had to stop
on the last show, and we're ready to resume right now.
First, let's meet the players. Here's our champion.
(Jay) Thank you very much, Wink.
Here's our current champion, whose winnings to date,
in cash and prizes, total $44,800.
He is a teacher. Meet Mike Duckworth.
[audience applauding]
And his opponent is a public relations director
who's married to an auditor.
And she's interested in women's rights.
Meet Linda Webster.
[audience applauding]
Yeah. Our teacher and public relations consultant.
And he does... He has so many jobs.
Mike, among the jobs, among the things
that you are involved in, what do you like to do the most?
Oh, I have a hard time doing that.
It all kinda dovetails.
You like photography
and all that sort of thing?
Yeah. It all...
Everything kind of
dovetails together.
Yeah, it's all creative and it's fun to do.
You should be a politician. Perfect answer.
Mike, so far, you've won $44,800
in cash
and merchandise.
That's good.
I wanna congratulate you
for that.
Thank you.
Of course, you have a car to show for that,
a trip to London...
I could go on forever.
Finally.
But let's say hello to the cute lady.
Linda Webster, how are you?
Fine.
Linda, you haven't won
anything per se as yet,
but I guess you're just about ready
to give it
another shot, huh?
Oh, yeah.
I'm all ready.
Alright. Let's take a look at the categories.
Here we go. Our subjects for the game are:
General Science, One Word Names,
Spirit of '76, Famous Movies,
Royalty, Quotes, California,
Odd Facts, and Men of the Sea.
This is what the Board looked like
when our last game was interrupted:
We had one X showing for Mike, and in the center box,
an all-important box on Tic Tac Dough,
Linda owns that.
And we have $500 in the pot.
Let's move the categories around and we're off and running again.
Mike, take a look and select.
Well, let's see.
I think I'll try One Word Names
right down here at the bottom corner there.
So be it. Question:
The main female character in the Broadway musical,
"West Side Story" was known by her first name.
Her name is also the title of a song from that musical.
Name her.
Maria.
Maria. Yes.
Just met a girl
named Maria.
[audience applauding]
Put an X there. Let's move the categories around.
$700 in the pot.
Linda, go.
Let's try to block him with Quotes.
Okay, you need a block with Quotes.
In 1959, this Russian Premier,
when speaking of the United States,
proclaimed, "We will bury you."
For a block,
name him.
Khrushchev.
Right.
Nikita Khrushchev.
[audience applauding]
Put an O there. That's good for a block.
Let's move the categories again. $900 in the pot.
Back to you, Mike.
Well, I gotta go to General Science to block.
To block her, answer this, Mike:
In the 1860s, one French scientist
discovered a method of heating milk
and other foods to destroy organisms that cause disease.
To block Linda, name this scientific process.
The scientific process is pasteurization.
You got it. Named from Louis Pasteur.
Good for a block.
Put an X there.
[audience applauding]
Let's shuffle the categories again.
Four boxes remaining on the Board.
Select, Linda.
Uh, let's try
California again.
Okay. California.
You did pretty well with that category on the last show.
This coastal community, which is located
on the Monterey Peninsula, is often the site
for the Bing Crosby Pro-Am Golf Tournament.
Name the community.
Carmel?
No, Pebble Beach.
Pebble Beach.
Pebble Beach.
So, that is still available on the Board.
Four boxes remaining.
Let's shuffle and see what Mike can select from.
$1,100, Mike,
in the pot, so far.
Well, let's see.
I think I will try Quotes over there.
Okay. Quotes, it is.
The question is this, Mike:
In a memorable line from a classic 1939 film,
the hero says, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
Name the character who spoke these words.
The character was Rhett Butler.
Right.
From "Gone With the Wind."
[audience applauding]
So, we put an X there. Another $200 to the pot.
Linda, three boxes remaining. Let's shuffle.
What do you pick from?
The subjects are One Word Names, Quotes and Odd Facts.
How about Odd Facts?
Alright.
Odd Facts, the category.
Although Clarence Darrow received only one year
of formal legal education, he distinguished himself
in the famous Scopes Monkey Trial.
In that trial, what was the occupation
of defendant John Scopes?
Correct. Good for an O.
So, we put an O there.
[audience applauding]
Two boxes remaining on the Board.
Let's shuffle, Mike, for you and see what you come up with.
California
and Spirit of '76.
Well, now, let's see.
I guess I'll go with, uh, California.
Alright. Right now, $1,500 in the pot.
This will add $200 if you answer it correctly.
In 1846, a group of ill-fated settlers
perished on a high mountain pass in California.
Soon after, the pass was named after them.
Name it.
It's the Donner Pass.
Yes, that's exactly right.
The Donner Pass.
[audience applauding]
Put an X there. Another $200 in the pot.
Alright. Linda, we have one box remaining.
Let's shuffle and see what subject comes up.
General Science.
Okay.
Linda, if you answer the question on General Science,
we will have a tie game.
In physics, this term describes a region of space,
which is devoid of matter.
In electronics, it's used to designate a glass tube
from which the air has been removed.
For a tie game, name the scientific term.
Is that a vacuum?
Yes, we have a tie game.
[audience applauding]
Okay. Right after we come back from this commercial break,
we will show them nine new categories
and pick up the pot at $1,900.
Don't go away.
