Well, in her memoirs she did mention that the Gabels hired a married couple as housekeeper, knowing that the man had just been released from prison. He told her at the job interview and she called his probation officer. Arlene said that she was a firm believer in rehabilitation and though she was a bit worried, she thought that actions should follow her words and they hired them. For several years it worked just fine, but unfortunately the man did later steal money or something else. I still think it‘s wonderful that she gave him a chance.

Actually, it might be less remarkable than you think when you consider that most guests who came from out of town arranged to be on _WML_ in advance of a planned visit to New York for some other purpose, such as a business trip, convention, etc. (In other seasons, John puts out a call for people who are going to be in town and have interesting occupations to reach out to the show.) Therefore, it's quite possible that he was already due to ship out from New York - though I realize one would think he would leave from the West Coast - and thus decided it would be fun to be on the show before he left.

Terrific! So glamorous, and she seemed to have such a good time!

James Buck Obituary: James Allen Buck 80, of Indianapolis, died July 7, 2010. He was the loving husband of Jeri for 47 years; dear father of Cheryl (husband Ken) Carpenter and Jeff (wife Greta); beloved grandfather of KaCee, Audrey and Margaret; and beloved owner of Barney, his golden retriever. He was born October 26, 1929 in Indianapolis to the late Rebah and Arthur Buck. Jim bravely served his country as a Captain and Paratrooper in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, earning a number of honors including the Bronze Star. He graduated from Butler University in 1951, where he was a Sigma Chi and earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1959 from Indiana University. Jim ran a prominent family law practice in Indianapolis, successfully trying a number of precedent setting cases. Jim served as Chairman of Family Law for ICLEF, Commissioner for Marion County Probate Court, Counsel and Legal Deputy for Marion County Sheriff, County Councilman and many other positions. He was named Best Divorce Lawyer seven times in Indianapolis Monthly Magazine and "Best Lawyers in America" for 20 years. He was the Coin Columnist for the Indianapolis Star for 25 years. Jim was the expert handicapper in a trial to determine whether pari-mutuel betting on horse races was "sport" or "gambling". He earned his Eagle Scout at the age 13. Jim was very knowledgeable and interested in a wide area of subjects, learning Spanish and French that he used in his worldly travels. He loved sharing stories and jokes with the people he and Barney met during their many walks. Jim made a great impact on many people, was loved by his family and friends and will be greatly missed. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Monday, July 12, at Flanner and Buchanan Funeral Center - Broad Ripple, where funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 13, cremation will follow. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association.

In those days they didn’t have the editing technology they now have, plus the live audience meant limitations. If they had any extra chit-chat during the show, it ran them short. The show had a down-to-earth appeal in those simpler times. These days, things can be digitally altered to make it seem free-flowing. They didn’t know they’d run short until they had just a couple of minutes left, and had no choice but to rush the last contestant through. I saw them do that a lot.

Too bad they ran out of time for the last contestant! It would have been interesting to hear a few details about her profession.

Nothing like this show to bring back memories...but also make one feel old as sin...When I went to see the circus at Madison Sq. Garden in NYC, probably about 9 years (1962?) after this episode of WML was filmed, it was still owned by the Ringling family, John Ringling North was still the ringmaster (...probably his last year as such), and Emmett Kelly, Sr was still its primary clown....now they're both gone, as is Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus itself.

22:26 I thought it was very kind and humbling of Zsa Zsa Gabor to curtsey/bow to the audience after she greeted the panelists. It showed that she was grateful to her fans as well as showing a sense of humbleness towards them. I am probably wrong in thinking this, but, is this the first time a celebrity guest acknowledged the audience as he/she exited the stage? 🤔 I’m 47 episodes in from the shows premiere and will most likely go back and view their exits- at some point just to satisfy my curiosity.

Not sure how that worked, but the impression I get is that it was some kind of hint as to what would be a funny line of questioning, without giving away what the answer actually was.

Cool coincidence of dates .. but not "taped". No such thing as videotape back then. Instead they aimed a movie camera (probably using 16mm black & white film and running at 30 fps) at a studio television monitor, and photographed the images from that. This is what is called a kinescope. Copies of this film would be made photo-chemically and shipped to TV stations farther from New York, and would be shown a few days or even a week later than the live broadcast in the area near NYC. The videos we have of these early television shows are modern electronic transfers from those old kinescope films. It's hard for us in today's world of rapid digital communications to realize how hard our parents and grandparents had to work to do things that are simple with today's technology.

+Richie Bustamante Thanks for your reply. I was in college in the 1970s and really treasured the access I had in a big university library to classic books and historical documents preserved there. Now of course I can see hundreds or thousands of times as much material of this kind on the internet, and because I learned research skills at a time when access was hard, I have a good sense of how to filter out the good stuff from the bad. I have to wonder if today's students are getting the same training in how to critically evaluate the reliability of sources, which is far more necessary now that anyone can publish anything on the 'net. One thing is sure: access to primary sources like these What's My Line? videos is one of the great features of our increased info bandwidth today. Gary, your work on making these available is an incalculable gift to the rest of us. Blessings be on you for your efforts!

What's My Line? Where can I find the first version? This is the only version of the episode that I see in chronological order on your first WML playlist. I don't think I ever watched it in its first incarnation. It was such a memorable episode that I can't believe I could have forgotten it if I'd seen it, but it all seemed new to me today. Could it be that the glitches in the first posted version were so bad that I decided to skip it?

SaveThe TPC The first version of this was only posted yesterday. Someone from the FB group offered me a better copy when he saw that it was glitched, so I replaced it within literally a few hours of the first post. The old video is still there, but shortened to 30 seconds with links to the new video, and now unlisted so as not to waste people's time.

What's My Line? Ahh... the pieces of the puzzle all begin to fit together... This could be literally an example of "I snooze... I lose." I started watching the episode the first night it was posted but fell asleep almost immediately after it started, I guess. I still can't figure out how to find the first version, but now I understand why I didn't remember it from months ago when I first started watching your channel in chronological order by episode. Are the "wiped" comments Joe referred to on this same comments page then? (Of course, when I don't snooze, I also lose -- sleep, that is! I tend to fall asleep while watching something, with my computer next to my bed. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw I had some notifications, so I checked them and then couldn't resist replying to some. I hope I can get back to sleep now!)

There was only one movie in color playing in New York City in 1953.
