brola nola - There is magic when people reach for the highest common denominator among us. These WMLs lift my spirits when I am down, as well. They are good reminders that this can be done and enjoyed by many.
SuperWinterborn I don't deal in absolutes but I have to break that rule for Mr. John Daly. He was easily the most gifted interviewer/emcee/reporter that I've ever seen back to the early '60s. A man who was eminently well educated, always at ease and who knew how not to be manipulated by others. He would have been wasted on 60 Minutes in its' objective prime years. He didn't get that from tiny little Tilton school. Also, when on camera he never felt the need to belittle others. Extremely well educated and honed by experience in the field he always kept on learning. He was and remains the model for all speakers and reporters. Just a gifted natural without the need to show it off. Instead today we have screaming, poorly educated "news readers" who feel the need to interject their personal agenda. What a pleasure he was to watch at work.
Daniel Fronc.....You just stated what I have always thought as I watch these WML shows regarding Mr. Daly. Thanks for eloquently putting my thoughts into words.
Love viewing these shows, in this case one that was telecast 62 years ago. John Daly is a perfect moderator, and the panel always delights. I only knew Richard Boone from his Western TV fame, he was an articulate person as is Martin Gabel. Arlene was always a fav of mine and Dorothy always seems to uncover the mystery before anyone. Johnny Mathis was only 24 and that wonderful personality shines through.
Dorothy was a crime reporter I believe, so her sleuthing skills I think helped her. She died tragically only about 6 years later, which some believed to be mysterious.
@@Walterwhiterocks Her lips tended to be overpainted much of the time, which always annoyed me, because they were perfectly O.K. and much prettier without the lipstick "enhancement."
Handsome elegant and talented man . " Chances are " always makes me feel romantic if a bit sad for all the lost loves in my life. Does anyone else feel this when they hear this beautiful song ?
Qboro66 they spoke with the old Atlantic English that in olden times was used and learned by those in successful professions such as John Daly. He was originally from South Africa. The panelists were comprised of very successful and talented people.
Johnny Mathis, Is one of the Most Greatest Ballard singers of my Lifetime, Saw him Performing in Person, He does not even need a Microphone With his Voice, Etc.
@@rdalbright1 Specifically they were cousins. Florence "Flo" Ballard was one of the original members of the Supremes. Hank Ballard had a solo career and was also the front man for a group called at various times The Royals, The Midnighters or Hank Ballard and the Midnighters. He was primarily an R&B artist, but also performed many songs that crossed over into rock and roll and some that would be classified as funk. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990; the rest of the Midnighters were inducted in 2012. Most people are familiar with The Supremes. Not as many are familiar with Hank Ballard and the Midnighters. This is one of their #1 songs on the Billboard R&B charts and their highest ranked song on the Billboard Pop charts (#6). th-cam.com/video/s0H0mRqUd6M/w-d-xo.html
A couple of interesting things about her. She became the first woman to get the Airline Transport Pilot License, in1960. An even more exciting thing, she and her twin sister were selected for the Mercury 13 program. These were 13 women that were selected for the same astronaut testing as the male Mercury astronauts. regrettably the program was canceled before they had a chance to go into space. Probably after her appearance here, in the late 1950's worked as a federal pilot examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration, performing pilot evaluations and issuing certificates. She was quite the lady and pilot
During an interview back in the 1970's, he gave a sardonic response when asked about his "ideal" woman: "A deaf mute nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store."
At 5'7", Mathis earned an athletic scholarship to the University of San Francisco where he vied with Bill Russell in the high jump. He was also an excellent basketball player and hurdler. He turned down an invitation to the US trials for the 1956 Olympics as one of America's premier high jumpers to pursue his singing career. Russell, of course, helped lead the USA to the gold medal in basketball in the 1956 Melbourne games.
Just watched this for the first time, but I would have to say that Mr. Roger is probably my favourite non-mystery guest of all time. Thanks for uploading this!
I felt a bit uncomfortable for Mr. Roger with the repeated references to his "splendid girth". 62 years later and folks are STILL getting fat-shamed. I'm thin myself, and it still bugs me.... 🙄
It's great to see a young and handsome Johnny Mathis and even then his talent and popularity was widespread while he still gave even future generations true music magic that still lasts to this day. I believe if you looked up the word "mesmerizing", his photo would be attached!!!
Does anybody wonder what happened to those sneakers that Dorothy had Johnny sign as well as other famous entertainers? She said something that her daughter had some also
Incredible charisma....audiences loved him...at this time he was playing abraham lincoln on broadway in a play called The Rivalry..actor richard boone...he took time out to be a panelist on this show..after a couple of months on broadway, boone had to get back to Hollywood to film a new season of have gun will travel..on which he portrayed paladin.
Martin Gabel was always so gracious-always said goodnight to Dorothy as he does here- when Bennett Cerf is there next to Dorothy, she says goodnight Bennett but he doesn't reply back to her- it's always, goodnight John- ignoring her!
Johnny Mathis was only 23 when he appeared on WML. Such an amazing singer with a voice unlike any other possibly Nat King Cole. Chances are will always be one of my favorite songs. Mathis bought Howard Hughes mansion in the Hollywood Hills in 1946 and still lives there - wow!
Mathis was 11 years old in 1946! He bought the house in 1959 (the same year as this broadcast), and it burned down in 2015. Hughes built the house (for a girl friend) in 1946.
Obviously it is due to his occupation, but Mr. Roger is the first male contestant that I have ever seen asked whether he was married, except for a few MGs who were asked if they were married to someone in show business. It really stands out because all the women were asked this question.
Back then, there was no “Ms”…so address a lady, you had to know if she were married or not. It wasn’t until the late ‘70’s that women began to say,” why is it anyone’s business whether I’m married or not?” There is (still) only one title for a man.
"The Rivalry" starring Richard Boone started on Broadway on February 7, 1959. With rehearsals, out of town try outs, and previews he must have left "Have Gun Will Travel" early that year.
johnny was a world class high jumper. set, at the time, the usf high jump record breaking the previous school record set by bill russell. was suppose to be on the olympic team but opted for a recording session
One more thing - Mr Roger! He got two comments about his size: Arlene called him plump while her husband Martin Gabel referred to his 'splendid girth'. I don't remember a person so big/heavy/fat (choose your own word here) in other episodes whereas today obesity is commonplace and people more sensitive about commenting on it.
Johnny Mathis was a champion high jumper in high school in the Bay area. His big rival was basketball player Bill Russell, who was 6-9. Here Johnny seems barely taller than Martin Gabel and well short of Richard Boone, who was 6-1.
@Mark Richardson Look at 21:55. Johnny is bending over to shake hands with the ladies and that makes him look shorter than Boone. Boone and Gabel may have bene on an elevated platform as well.
From the state of the first challenger to the city of the second challenger. Now if you had anything to do with Johnny Mathis and Perry Como, you'd cover all the bases.
Funny how people looked so much older 60 some years ago, compared to today when we are smooth and lovely even into our 90's. I would have guessed that Mr. Rogers was at least 40.
I'm what you might call "going on 90," and believe me, I am NOT smooth and lovely. However, I would have guessed Mr. Roger to be about 40 also, and that's from a perspective of regarding my physician as looking as if he just got out of high school.
I love Richard Boone's backhanded comment on Dorothy's Snobbishness, and yes she was, she once wrote a very insulting piece in her column about some Country-Western acts at Carnegie Hall,, asking why they were bringing Hicks to N.Y. City.
If the work of Mr. Stewart and Mr. Marlow entails holding cue cards for Perry Como, then why does Mr. Daly describe them as "self-employed"? Did these guys start out from a little shop with an advertising sign that read, 'Will Hold Up Cue Cards for Television Personalities, especially Perry Como!'?
A person who free-lances offers a viable, cohesive service. What is the service that the two gentlemen here provide? "Cue-Card Holder Uppers"? Wow! Does one need work experience or a college degree to get that going?
Jeffrey Slott They have to know the protocol of live TV, how to keep up the timing smoothly, and be personable. Also, how not to get underfoot while everyone is working around them.
Why do you think weren't Arlene and Martin sometimes sat next to each other? I like when they would introduce and said goodbye at the end to one another. Their 'exchanges' were sometimes hilarious ;-)
Katarzyna Kopeć actually they were more often than not i've seen them on the same panel about a dozen times & this is only the 2nd time they're apart--there's 17 yrs of shows eventually you will see them together more often
Katarzyna Kopeć I've been watching these in order recently and I've noticed that for some time they have been alternating Arlene and Dorothy in spots 1&3. Since Martin is in Bennett's spot while he's away, the fortnightly separation of Arlene and her hubby makes sense.
Dorothy should have passed to let her fellow panelists try to guess Mathis' identity! Give them a chance.....then when it came back to her turn, she would have nailed it!
*Skip to **19:25** If you wish to miss the whole show, to 'reveal Mystery Guest' - MetJohnny a number of times at DeMontfort Hall Leicester, must have been late 60's early 70's my wifes favorites, and now one of mine (a convert you might say) Lovely Songs and a Velvet Voice, they don't write them like that these days.* *_You can't beat that Laugh - total giveaway at _**_20:27_*
@@GrrMeister This is exactly how most people who have never heard of or watched the show before become new fans-- they're drawn in to watching an episode by the appearance of a particular mystery guest, and find themselves enjoying the program itself. So telling people they should skip to the mystery guest segment is less than ideal in that it deprives them of any real chance to find out if they like the show itself. Of course, if the show isn't for you, so be it. But it did grate on me a bit to see not just a timecode to skip to the mystery guest segment (people leave comments like that all the time), but your suggestion that it would be a waste of time NOT to skip the rest of the show. No hard feelings in any event. Thanks.
@@WhatsMyLine *Ok Point taken and apologies, albeit it gives away the **_Mystery Guest_** in description and Johnny Mathis being a favourite of my wife and myself, was drawn to it on account of that, as I would suspect many others would watch this purely to see the portion featuring "The Mystery Guest". Have modified, no offence.* *_We had the Show in the UK as well from 1951- Ha Ha_*
@@GrrMeister Oh, I know about the BBC version! Unfortunately VERY little of it survives today, unlike the US version. I posted one of the very few surviving BBC eps on this channel quite a while ago. Here's the link if you're interested (and thanks for understanding where I was coming from in my prior comments): th-cam.com/video/7Thk2OZ6lAY/w-d-xo.html I have one more full episode of the BBC series which I haven't posted yet, which as it turns out, was the final episode with Gilbert Harding. It was actually prerecorded on film, not a live show, and since Harding died before the intended air date, the BBC never aired it until 20 years later.
ToddSF 94109 Incorrect. A wedding planner is NOT the same as a bridal consultant. While some bridal consultants work as wedding planners also, they are not the same thing at all. A bridal consultant deals in sales/services related to bridal wear/attire. A wedding planner is...well, just that. Please don’t speak authoritatively on something you just think you know.
@@doclee8755 Then ToddSF 94109 would be correct, according to your detailed distinctions, would he not? The WML guest would be called a wedding planner, according to all the things John Daly said he did. We all are more knowledgeable now about wedding planners, with even a movie out by that name.
Arlene came across as particularly loose in her manner here. Maybe she tied on a few before the show? Which is O.K. by me. She's delightful either sober or a little bit tipsy.
@@thesweeples3266Precisely. I've stopped worrying about it. I eat what I want, drink what I want, never exercise and generally have fun. I've reached the age of sixty-one in pretty good shape, and plan to continue having fun. As you say, we all die of something.
I expected to hear wolf whistles when Miss Dietrich came onstage because she was beautiful, young and (we found out later) had a very sexy voice. In other episodes the audience go wild with noise but maybe there were more women than men this time - Johnny Mathis got a noisy welcome but Miss D did not. We rarely see the audience, so we can only judge by ear.

Arlene and Dorothy simply radiate grace and intelligence
Only Dorothy not that other one!
Johnny Mathis is a class act. Love 💘 the song, "It's not for me to say".
Mr. Daly's knowlwdge of the English language is outstanding.
Johnny Mathis is so young here! Such a great talent. And still singing!
Wish we could see their beautiful dresses in colour.
John Daly's laugh is so genuine. Love watching this.

Wonderful Johnny Mathis !
What a great show this was, too !

"It was the male that threw me, and it always has." - Arlene Francis

Thank goodness for YT's archive of the original WML shows. They serve as a time machine of talent and fashion during the early 50s to middle 60s.
How fun to see Richard Boone so loose and entertaining - I recall him as sardonic in his roles and really enjoyed seeing him in non-working mode.
He was so ruggedly handsome.
During an interview back in the 1970's, he gave a sardonic response when asked about his "ideal" woman: "A deaf mute nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store."
The Cue Card Holders could have been an interesting challenge had their time not been cut short.
Richard Boone lived in St. Augustine Fl...He taught at Flagler College..

You don't believe in using capital letters where needed?
And Martin Gabel appeared in two episodes of Have Gun Will Travel: 'The Fatalist' 9/10/60 and 'A Drop of Blood' 12/2/61.
I would have loved to see that play, The Rivalry, in person. I wonder if it’s available to be seen? I’ll have to check.
Martin Gabel was always so gracious-always said goodnight to Dorothy as he does here- when Bennett Cerf is there next to Dorothy, she says goodnight Bennett but he doesn't reply back to her- it's always, goodnight John- ignoring her!
Maybe because Martin is a refined gentleman whereas Bennett only, shall we say, thinks he is.
After Dorothy died Bennett admitted he did like her as much as he did John or Arlene.
I agree - Bennett often snubs Dorothy in a passive aggressive way. I think he was annoyed that she was clearly smarter at the game than he was

Incredibly, Johnny Mathis waited until 2006 to come out of the closet.

Chances are I don't want your smelly shoes, so put them back upon your feet.
This show was actually aired February 12th, I know that because Abraham Lincoln has the same birthday as me 😊
I love Richard Boone's backhanded comment on Dorothy's Snobbishness, and yes she was, she once wrote a very insulting piece in her column about some Country-Western acts at Carnegie Hall,, asking why they were bringing Hicks to N.Y. City.
If the work of Mr. Stewart and Mr. Marlow entails holding cue cards for Perry Como, then why does Mr. Daly describe them as "self-employed"?
Did these guys start out from a little shop with an advertising sign that read, 'Will Hold Up Cue Cards for Television Personalities, especially Perry Como!'?
Jeffrey Slott Freelancers, self employed?
A person who free-lances offers a viable, cohesive service. What is the service that the two gentlemen here provide? "Cue-Card Holder Uppers"?
Wow! Does one need work experience or a college degree to get that going?
Jeffrey Slott They have to know the protocol of live TV, how to keep up the timing smoothly, and be personable. Also, how not to get underfoot while everyone is working around them.
Probably contract, not directly employed.
Why do you think weren't Arlene and Martin sometimes sat next to each other? I like when they would introduce and said goodbye at the end to one another. Their 'exchanges' were sometimes hilarious ;-)
Katarzyna Kopeć actually they were more often than not i've seen them on the same panel about a dozen times & this is only the 2nd time they're apart--there's 17 yrs of shows eventually you will see them together more often
They often sat next to each other
Katarzyna Kopeć I've been watching these in order recently and I've noticed that for some time they have been alternating Arlene and Dorothy in spots 1&3. Since Martin is in Bennett's spot while he's away, the fortnightly separation of Arlene and her hubby makes sense.
Why did Arlene marry a dwarf like Gabel?
@@kenretherford1197 He was a producer. Best match an actress could have.
What a great show
John spoke so eloquently 15:00
I wonder what ever happened to those sneakers that Johnny Mathis signed....
Maybe they went to Jill Kollmar?
Chances are......nobody knows,
Jim Stark your reply made me laugh so much, my cheeks hurt.
richardvilseck its not for me to say
@@judith_thordarson: Too bad we can't all see it.
Johnny Mathis should appear on The Masked Singer.
Dorothy should have passed to let her fellow panelists try to guess Mathis' identity! Give them a chance.....then when it came back to her turn, she would have nailed it!
*Skip to **19:25** If you wish to miss the whole show, to 'reveal Mystery Guest' - MetJohnny a number of times at DeMontfort Hall Leicester, must have been late 60's early 70's my wifes favorites, and now one of mine (a convert you might say) Lovely Songs and a Velvet Voice, they don't write them like that these days.*
*_You can't beat that Laugh - total giveaway at _**_20:27_*
Just because YOU'RE not interested in any part of these shows but a particular mystery guest doesn't mean no one else is.
@@WhatsMyLine *I agree, but must admit a bit dated, and in the UK never heard of most of the panel.*
@@GrrMeister This is exactly how most people who have never heard of or watched the show before become new fans-- they're drawn in to watching an episode by the appearance of a particular mystery guest, and find themselves enjoying the program itself. So telling people they should skip to the mystery guest segment is less than ideal in that it deprives them of any real chance to find out if they like the show itself. Of course, if the show isn't for you, so be it. But it did grate on me a bit to see not just a timecode to skip to the mystery guest segment (people leave comments like that all the time), but your suggestion that it would be a waste of time NOT to skip the rest of the show. No hard feelings in any event. Thanks.
@@WhatsMyLine *Ok Point taken and apologies, albeit it gives away the **_Mystery Guest_** in description and Johnny Mathis being a favourite of my wife and myself, was drawn to it on account of that, as I would suspect many others would watch this purely to see the portion featuring "The Mystery Guest". Have modified, no offence.*
*_We had the Show in the UK as well from 1951- Ha Ha_*
@@GrrMeister Oh, I know about the BBC version! Unfortunately VERY little of it survives today, unlike the US version. I posted one of the very few surviving BBC eps on this channel quite a while ago. Here's the link if you're interested (and thanks for understanding where I was coming from in my prior comments): th-cam.com/video/7Thk2OZ6lAY/w-d-xo.html
I have one more full episode of the BBC series which I haven't posted yet, which as it turns out, was the final episode with Gilbert Harding. It was actually prerecorded on film, not a live show, and since Harding died before the intended air date, the BBC never aired it until 20 years later.
"Wedding planner" is the more obvious title used nowadays.
ToddSF 94109 Incorrect. A wedding planner is NOT the same as a bridal consultant. While some bridal consultants work as wedding planners also, they are not the same thing at all. A bridal consultant deals in sales/services related to bridal wear/attire. A wedding planner is...well, just that. Please don’t speak authoritatively on something you just think you know.
@@doclee8755 feel better ?
@@doclee8755 iuh
@@doclee8755 Then ToddSF 94109 would be correct, according to your detailed distinctions, would he not? The WML guest would be called a wedding planner, according to all the things John Daly said he did. We all are more knowledgeable now about wedding planners, with even a movie out by that name.
@@doclee8755 According to what was said on this episode, Mr. Roger was indeed a wedding planner.
Kinda think I might have been conceived to a Johnny Mathis song???? like millions of others!
Whoa...TMI...
Yes they were classier back then.in how they dressed and acted
Arlene came across as particularly loose in her manner here. Maybe she tied on a few before the show? Which is O.K. by me. She's delightful either sober or a little bit tipsy.
archraskal Dorothy's the "tipsy" one...
Dorothy didn't come in tipsy until after 1964. *I have yet to think Arlene was tipsy ever.
Ironic that John Daly helped promote the heart fund here, and was to die of cardiac arrest.
Chuck Goldberg - I am so sorry to hear that. Watching this program of course one must realize that all of the panelists have passed on.
@John Texas He was 77 when he passed.
Everybody is going to die of something
@@thesweeples3266Precisely. I've stopped worrying about it. I eat what I want, drink what I want, never exercise and generally have fun. I've reached the age of sixty-one in pretty good shape, and plan to continue having fun. As you say, we all die of something.
Many people who have been on " you bet your life" end up on this show and TTTT . Jan knows about air in bathtubs.
I expected to hear wolf whistles when Miss Dietrich came onstage because she was beautiful, young and (we found out later) had a very sexy voice. In other episodes the audience go wild with noise but maybe there were more women than men this time - Johnny Mathis got a noisy welcome but Miss D did not. We rarely see the audience, so we can only judge by ear.
She was a fine looking lady with a great personality
Why did they not show Miss Dietrich
You would think after a while, they would get a bench for the quest
