Garry the Weatherman: “Welcome to our
show on one of our first Spring wet, rainy nights here in New York.”
A masked Mr. X: “I gave Betsy Palmer her first job…she was my
secretary”
Ernest Hott was the car foreman on the
RIP track for the B&O Railroad in Chicago.
RIP tracks are where cars are taken off the main lines for minor
repairs. Betsy clearly adores the man,
dissolving into tears at seeing him, but in later interviews, she would admit
that she did not enjoy the job because she tended to be cut off from other
people.
Gilbert W. Chapman of New York City brings out a suitcase which
contains: “A book…It’s worth more than half a million dollars…It’s the
Guttenberg Bible (printed more than 500 years ago)”
Mr. Chapman is the president of the
New York Public Library, and his treasure is one of 49 surviving copies known
to exist. Chapman appears on the show to
promote National Library Week. Johannes
Guttenberg’s invention of mechanical movable type brought the printing press to
Europe and soon the world. It is
considered one of the major milestones of human history.
Special Guest Janis Paige appears on stage with
dozens of audience members. In honor of
Henry’s birthday tomorrow, she is going to give each of them presents. The other panelists believe the items are
coming from Henry’s apartment, when in fact they are coming from the homes of
the other three. Paige will soon appear
in the MGM film Please Don’t Eat the
Daisies (1960), and will be a guest on Garry’s variety show next Tuesday
night.
