192     June 20, 1956
Jayne, Bill, Faye, Henry

This fourth anniversary show is presented without a studio audience.  The cast and crew appear on stage for a family portrait, all wearing large cards around their necks which identify their positions, everyone from “panelist” to “stage manager” to “stand-in”.  Among those singled out by name as they are seen on camera are production assistant Adraia Koe, wardrobe manager Blanche Hunter, producer Mark Goodson (partner Bill Todman was out with chicken pox), stage manager Joe Papp and announcer John Cannon.  Others are clearly visible on camera, including producer Allan Sherman. Hunter is a long-time CBS staffer who at one point handled makeup for all the CBS shows in New York.  She is also one of the few African Americans on staff.   

They all take their seats in the theatre as Garry presents clips from past shows at a rapid pace. Garry gets some of the dates below wrong on the air. They have all been corrected here for accuracy.
