[Garry Dodge], [Garry Carswell], [Garry Schulke], [Garry Dyer], [Garry Merrick] and [Garry Hanson], all from Houston, Texas: “Each of us has a twin brother named Larry” 
Wacky childbirth.  Our Garry says that the show staff found 29 additional Garry-Larry twin pairs in Houston.   


Special guest Cliff Robertson reads various riddles and brief mystery stories which the panel is challenged to solve.  They come from a collection curated by Agnes Rogers and released in book form as  How Come? (Doubleday 1953).  Robertson is about to be seen in the film PT 109 (1963) as a young John F Kennedy, and is working on the romantic comedy Sunday in New York (1963).   

In the final segment, we revisit the artworks that Henry and Bill made on April 8 ( E520 ) that were to be turned into dresses for Betsy and Bess.  The fabric has been made, and the colorful designer and performance artist Alphonse Berge, known as “The Great Drapo,” fashions the fabric onto the women’s bodies while we watch.  Berge’s career dates to the 1930s, including a performance at the 1939 World’s Fair.  He has a small number of film roles in addition to his design work.
