Film Tarzans Gene Pollar and Gordon Scott 
New York firefighter Joseph Pohler starred in The Revenge of Tarzan (1920) under the stage name of Gene Pollar.  He was the second man to star in a Tarzan film, following in the jungle footsteps of Elmo Lincoln.  The silent film was his only screen credit. When contractual issues kept him from a second appearance in the loincloth, Pohler quit show business and returned to firefighting. Gordon Scott is the newest film Tarzan.  Tarzan’s Hidden Jungle (1955) is hitting New York theaters this very day and would be the first of six films starring Scott as the jungle king.  Scott’s next film in the series, Tarzan and the Lost Safari (1957), would be the first Tarzan film in color.  (Also see E600 )     

Mrs. Katherine Bilson from Columbus, Ohio: “I used to diaper Bill Cullen” 
As seen on the fourth anniversary show [ E192 ].  Mrs. Bilson is not in the studio but is instead piped through on a speaker.  She had suffered a back injury and was laid up in bed in her Columbus home.  Coincidentally, this same setup had been used earlier, and that secret also related to Bill’s early years [ E27 ].

Special Guest Dave Garroway slowly leaves the studio while the panelists ask their questions.
Garry too, at least according to a brief newspaper article.  A camera eventually follows him and Garry out the back door, leaving the panelists alone in the studio.
