Fred Allen returns this evening, after nearly a month's hiatus, and joins regulars Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf. First up, this busy night is a demure young woman, from West Virginia, Miss Lee Chona LaClaire, a professional wrestler. The panel is stumped, and Miss LaClaire wins by default. Next up is a woman, Mrs. Lorraine Straka, a parking ticket agent, who does her job while riding a motorcycle in her native Cicero, Illinois. While questioning from Arlene Francis, host John Daly calls a conference with Mrs. Straka. In an off the cuff remark to her fellow panelists, Miss Francis says she was going to ask the woman if she was a motorcycle cop - a shriek from the audience and thunderous applause greet Arlene's comment, but John Daly lets the win go to Mrs. Straka, in the situation. In a turn of events from last week, Robert Q. Lewis is the mystery celebrity guest. He is almost immediately identified by Bennett Cerf, but Mr. Daly allows the panel to question Mr. Lewis until Miss Francis successfully identifies him. Mr. Lewis asks Mr. Daly about events at his home the week before - seems Mr. and Mrs. Daly are the proud parents of five new puppies, proud Papa Daly mentioning the successful delivery of the pups without the aid of a veterinarian. Finally, a Brooklyn woman, Mrs. Pat Branton, stumps the panel and wins by default when they can't identify her as a seasick pill tester for Pzifer Pharmaceuticals. Mrs. Branton, Mr. Daly explains, tests the medication for their solubility and so forth. Dorothy Kilgallen asks, rather cryptically, when bidding the panel and the audience good night, if Mrs. Branton ever went out to sea. Mr. Daly seems nonplussed and says he has no idea, bids the panel farewell and invites the viewing audience to tune in next week.
