Host and moderator, John Daly, greets the panel, but in a twist, invites the first contestant to join him. He does, however, ask the woman not to sign in, does not disclose her name nor her hometown. The panel is intrigued, but Dorothy Kilgallen almost immediately identifies the woman, Florence Chadwick, celebrated swimmer. Miss Chadwick has just swum the English Channel in record time - 13 hours, 55 minutes. Next up, an Illinois woman, Mrs. Darlene Sellek, who trains chimpanzees. The panel is stumped, but, directly Mr. Daly flips over the cards, Miss Kilgallen blurts out that the woman works with chimps or monkeys. However, technically, the round was over, and Mrs. Sellek wins by default. This evening's mystery celebrity guest is British actress, Jean Simmons. Bennett Cerf quips that, before the show, he had a hunch that Hollywood producer, Samuel Goldwyn, would never pass up an opportunity to promote his latest film. It is the film version of the Broadway musical hit, "Guys and Dolls," and Jean Simmons is one of the stars. In fact, it is not Bennett Cerf who identifies Miss Simmons, but Fred Allen, but not before he calls her Joan Simons and one or two other names before he gets her name right. In fact, Miss Simmons is in New York to appear at the Broadway opening of the film in the next week. Finally, a gentleman from Upper Montclair, New Jersey, Mr. Edward Cairnes, who manufactures firemen's hats. Time runs out, and the gentleman from New Jersey wins the round by default. Mr. Daly and the panel exchange good nights and, as ever, John Daly invites viewers to tune in next week. Written by johnmike59 See less
