The show returns from a month-long absence with a new sponsor (Cavalier Cigarettes)
and a new, regular weekly time slot. This begins a long association between the
show and the tobacco company RJ Reynolds. The company would introduce Winston
cigarettes in April of 1954, and by early 1955 would change the brand
sponsorship of the show from Cavaliers to the new Winstons.

Mary Williams Borglum: "My husband did the Mount Rushmore images"
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed the monument and oversaw some 400 workers who carved his vision into the granite of Mount Rushmore between 1927 and his death in 1941. Son Lincoln assisted with the project and was to continue it after his father's death, but funding dried up with construction somewhat unfinished, and work on the monument ended in late 1941. Mrs Borglum is 78 years old here. She would die in 1955 at age 80.
Special Guest Joe E Brown: "Every time the audience laughs, I'll pinch Garry Moore"
The rubber-faced Brown, recognized for his wide smile, started his career in a vaudeville circus act and later became one of the most popular film comics of the 1930s. Equally at home on the stage, he toured the country for several years in the late 1940s playing Elwood P Dowd in Harvey, winning a special Tony Award for his work in 1948. An avid sports fan, he is spending the 1953 baseball season as a commentator for television coverage of the New York Yankees. Here he is still a few years away from what would become arguably his most famous screen role, that of Osgood Fielding in the Billy Wilder comedy Some Like It Hot (1959).
