The magic of live television. Garry arrives late, out of breath, from the Satellite
Room steakhouse next door, blaming a miss-set clock.
Lucille Buckley from New Haven, Connecticut, and her high school
students [Chuck Walton] and [Peter Wilson]: “We discovered a way to hatch
Easter chicks…in different colors – red, green, blue, orange and chartreuse”
Miss Buckley teaches science at West
Haven High School. Live television may
be magical, but this is still black and white television, so the visual
demonstration of this Secret afterwards leaves a little to be desired.
Elmo N Pickerill from Mineola, Long Island: “The Wright Brothers
taught me to fly (1910)”
He wanted to test
plane-to-ground radio communication, but since the early planes couldn’t
support two men and heavy equipment, Pickerill learned to fly, thereby eliminating
the need for a separate pilot. In an era
when both flight and radio telegraphy were in their infancy, Pickerill
successfully combined them on August 4, 1910.
Pickerill later became a World War One pilot, and is one of almost 600
fliers considered the Early Birds of Aviation.
Special Guest Julius La Rosa will create Easter bonnets for the
female panelists, made from items provided by the studio audience.
La Rosa skyrocketed to fame in the
early fifties with his appearances on Arthur Godfrey’s radio and television
programs, and into notoriety in 1953 when Godfrey fired him on the air for, as Godfrey
later said, lacking “humility.” La Rosa
continued to be a popular TV personality, and later a successful disc jockey,
though the Godfrey incident followed him the rest of his career.
