Nine Hulseman children from Winnetka, Illinois: “Our grandmother
just made her first record album…She’s a rock ‘n roll singer”
Dora Hall
would have an unlikely show business career for most of the 60s and 70s, almost
entirely financed by her husband, the founder of the Solo Cup Company. Leo Hulseman spent a considerable chunk of
his fortune releasing dozens of singles and LPs for his wife under the vanity
labels Reinbeau, Cozy, Premere and
Calamo. He then gave these
records away for free through various Solo promotions. He even financed an elaborate 1971 TV variety
special called “Once Upon a Tour” (sponsored by Solo, of course) featuring such
guest stars as Phil Harris, Rich Little and Frank Sinatra, Jr. Though Steve says she has signed a contract
with Dot Records, it appears she never recorded for anyone but her husband’s
labels. Hall is 65 years old here, and
sings “One, Two, Three” (1965).
12-year-old Mancil Davis from Odessa, Texas has established a
record in: “Golf…I’ve made eight holes-in-one”
Mancil has
made all his perfect shots in just the past year. As an adult, Davis would make golf his
career. He qualified for a handful of
PGA events, but spent most of his career as a club pro in Texas. He also toured in the 1980s as the
barnstorming “King of Aces.” Davis would
record a total of 51 holes in one before a 2014 accident ended his golfing
career.
Special guest Edie Adams asks the
panel to identify the origin of common idioms such as “white elephant,” “on the
nose,” and “bringing home the bacon.” Fred
Gwynne played a similar game with the panel last year (
E617
). Adams will soon be seen in The Honey Pot (1967).
