Due to the announcer's mistakenly introducing Bennett first, this particular evening might have been a very historic one as Dorothy, unless it was done on one of the earlier "lost" kinescopes, probably became the first female panelist to introduce John Charles Patrick Croghan Daly. - Sargebri
After a rather confusing opening, the panel had a really good showing this night. Bennett correctly guessed that the bubbly and flirtatious first contestant was a lady barber. Unfortunately, they were pretty much stumped by the second contestant who ran a burlesque theater. They did get close when they figured out that he had something to do with entertainment. Also, 1953 was still more of an innocent time when striptease was nothing near what the more explicit exotic dancers do today. Bennett also figured out that the mystery guest was Greer Garson. However, he decided to let Dorothy get the credit and she made the correct guess without getting even one "no." Dorothy also figured out that the final contestant made Halloween masks, which was appropriate since that coming Friday was Halloween. - Sargebri
LA ROSA FIRED: When Greer Garson came onstage to thunderous applause, Bennett made the comment, "Goodness, I thought only Julius LaRosa would have gotten a hand like that!" Bennett was referring to an incident earlier in the week. On October 19, 1953, Arthur Godfrey fired Mr. LaRosa from his television show live on the air. The press had a field day with the story, and public opinion was almost totally on Mr. LaRosa's side. Interestingly enough, this was the second reference to the incident on the same evening. On December 18, 2004, GSN presented an episode of "The Name's the Same" which also originally aired that same week in 1953. After it was revealed that the first contestant had the shared the name "Julie LaRosa," Robert Q. Lewis mentioned that the producers tried to find someone named "Arthur Godfrey" to also have on the show, but couldn't find one. Julius LaRosa's nickname was Julie, and Godfrey's statement as he fired him on the air was, "That was Julie's swan song." LaRosa had just finished singing the song "Manhattan." He wasn't fired over a lack of talent, he was fired because Godfrey though LaRosa lacked humility because LaRosa had found an agent or manager. Godfrey wanted to retain control over LaRosa's career, since Godfrey had discovered him. - Garrison Skunk
this is a review, sort of, of the what's my line greer was on.
