Little Susan would return on the sixth anniversary program in 1958 ( E290 ).   

[Jim Wilson] of Hollywood, CA: “I flew a harem to an Arabian Prince” 
Wilson was a pilot based in East Africa who flew for the Saudi Arabian government, including the royal family.  This particular mission was in the summer of 1951 on behalf of the Crown Prince who, at the time of this program, had become King of Saudi Arabia, Saud Al Saud.   

Special Guest George Raft has a gravy stain on his tie. 
Raft was a popular actor of the 1930s and 1940s, especially in gangster roles.  He gained fame for his performance in Scarface (1932).  The image of him flipping a coin became an iconic part of film history.  Raft had a reputation as a stylish dresser, so with the panel offstage, Garry brings in a waiter from the fashionable 21 Club to stain Raft’s tie with only the very best gravy.   

[Jules ???], a patrolman from South Norwalk, NJ: “I gave a parking ticket to a horse” 
Jules’ last name is unintelligible as they rush to get a final game in, only to awkwardly end it almost immediately.
