A much better era when people showed respect and dignity on television! Not like today's immoral crap and undignified idiots making fools of themselves on television!
Miss Henderson was a teacher in Texas, until she joined the Marine Corps for WWII. Then she quit, and went back to teaching, until 1948, when she joined up again. Was head from 1959 until 1964, and retired in 1966 (when she got the Legion of Merit). She then got involved in various civil activities in Lubbock. Died in 2004.
I loved every part of this show from introductions to the gowns and dresses and hairdos of Dorothy and Arlene, the way they said goodnight to each other and the great way they played the game. My earliest memories of watching this program was being in kindergarten and staying up late Sunday nights for years as a treat before needing to get up for school Monday morning.
@@WhatsMyLine Ms Francis seems to be a very nice lady. Her son, Mr Peter Gabel, was a mystery guest in one episode. I do not remember if Mr Martin Gable, Peter's dad, was on the panel that evening or not.
@@dpm-jt8rj Peter was actually on the show twice, once in 1964 and once in 1967. Martin was on the panel for the 1967 show with Peter, but not the earlier one.
I am here via the Bergen & (Charlie) McCarthy radio show featuring Cornelia Otis Skinner who recited a tender story of a wife saying goodbye to her husband, now a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
Wonderful! When a time machine is invented that’s one fewer potential competitor for gorgeous Arlene. As a vegetarian, I can’t analogize to passing up filet mignon for hamburger, but you’re aiming for Yugo when there’s a Porsche two seats screen right.
Ms. Skinner was wonderful at playing unlikeable women. She was great in The Uninvited, one of my favorite movies. I believe it was Gail Russell's first movie, she was wonderful, sad that she was painfully shy.
Technically, it was Gale Russell's third film, although she is introduced as a newcomer in "The Uninvited". Interestingly enough, Russell's next film had her starring as Cornelia Otis Skinner in "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay". Skinner is perfect in "The Uninvited" which is one of my favorite films and she certainly aged gracefully as 15 years had passed since the release of the picture, yet she hardly looks any older.
On Ms. SKINNER: In a 1944 conversation with Victor Borge, Skinner reportedly told the Danish comedian that she decided to drop the term "diseuse" from her act after reading in a Scottish newspaper: "Cornelia Otis Skinner, the American disease, gave a program last night."🤣🤣🤣🤣
GREAT POST I recognized and remembered Ms Skinner from her evil role in the classic ghost film THE UNINVITED-1944 with Ray Milland and Gail Russell , Ms Skinner was very good as the creepy head of an insane asylum...
+Kirk Barkley Hey you have the same initials as I do-You started me thinking and did research on Imdb Ms Skinner played Russell's mother in another film based on Ms Skinner's early life...So ALL is relative...
Shirley, all occupations were respected, but to be fair, some contestants were respected more than others based on their occupations. Consider the times the ladies stood for clergy or world leaders and fawned over some entertainers.
A wonderfully entertaining show,unfortunately it did not encompass thru America. Only blacks that were Superstars, came on the show, at least that? We did not belong.Even they could not eat in restaurants that's white owned, bad businesses, money is green,tough times black ppl,tough times.🙈🙉🙊
@@igkoigko9950 - Actually the custom has always been that gentlemen stand for everyone and ladies stand for no one except for those who hold a specifically honorable position either through an ascribed status, like advanced age, or an earned position, such as a higher position in the religious or political institution, for example. These are time honored traditionlons that we Americans discarded during the sixties, perhaps hastily.
Actually the pool of contestants began to include diverse populations in this program on this network before most others. People of color began to serve as celebrity guests before as regullar panelists. The psnelidts treated everyone with tespect, I am happy to report.
Somewhere along the way, after many years, guests appeared on WML in 1959 through United Airlines rather than American. Mr. Ongie and others from foreign lands traveled to WML by air, but this obscured the reality that from 1492 until the 1950's, each year more people crossed the Atlantic by boat than by plane. The introduction of the jet engine made 1959 the first year that more people crossed the Atlantic by plane. The turning point was rapid. Within a few years only a very small percentage of people who crossed the Atlantic did so by boat. WML had as a guest at one point a man who sold ocean liners but never anyone in the railroad industry. Both the ocean liner industry and the inter-city railroad industries underwent a huge decline starting in 1960.
As United and American were both US domestic carriers at this time those arriving from foreign lands would not have travelled with either of these airlines.
Before I watch this, I just want to note, if you don't mind (and/or enjoy) naive travel narratives, Otis Skinner (and Emily Kimbrough) wrote what I still find to be a hilariously great book, about going to Europe in the 1920s. (Best read out loud, mind.) _Our Hearts Were Young And Gay_. (I just found it was made into a movie. I radiate Doubt.) Some of their other stuff (written separately) is also pretty good, but very 40s and 50s, ie, of its era.
Colonel Henderson was the second person with that last name in Marine Corps history to hold the title of Commandant. The first was Archibald Henderson, who was Commandant of the Marine Corps from 1820 to 1859.
Dore Schary was the MGM executive who was, at least partially, responsible for firing Judy Garland from the studio. I have heard that she could be unprofessional and unreliable, but I wish the studio could have come to terms with her and form a unique working relationship with her. She had the greatest voice of anybody.
In 1950 MGM was by far the richest, most successful, and most prestigious of the Hollywood studios. By the time of this WML episode it was nearly bankrupt. TV and other outside forces were at work, but internally, Dore Schary was as much or more responsible for MGM's decline as anyone.
karlakor - That's how I feel about Placido Domingo. Maybe he was overly flirtatious but he has been the greatest overall contributor to the world of opera for the last half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. Surely Mr. Gelb could have come to some kind of agreement with him to stop the behavior or else. I never heard that he was ever even confronted with the unwanted behaviors by Mr. Gelb or anyone.
Shirley Rombough: There were several opera houses around the country where he was accused, and proven, of sexually abusing women and forcing himself on them. He may not have abused them at the Metropolitan, and neither did James Levine, but the nature of the violations, frequency and lengthy period of over which they occurred precluded any leniency.
And given his financial contributions to all things operatic any accomodations by Mr. Gelb would have contributed greatly to the financial stability of this beloved institution- the Metropolitan Opera.
And furthermore ss fat as csn be deduced, nothing like the demands imposed on the "me too" victims. Maybe someone was miffed because she was not approached. Who knows?
Although he is referred to as "Mr. Ognie" throughout the episode, I believe that he's really Giuseppe Ogna. (He signs his name with a flourish that looks like "ie" but isn't really. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Ogna

Yes. He was signing autographs at an event I don't recall when I was about twelve. He signed for me, didn't look at me, could not have seemed more bored.
I remember Dore Schary being on I Love Lucy, but after seeing him here, he doesn't look familiar at all. After reading the comments below, I see that Mr Schary was unable to do the Lucy episode and another actor was used for his part.

Mr Schary asked one of the oddest and most difficult questions I've ever heard on this show when he inquired whether the Colonel of Marines gave a benefit 'sociologically'. I would guess that he meant a benefit to society but that perhaps he was nervous and said it wrongly. I don't know how I would answer him for my own line, so I would cover all bets with a yes and no. Confusion to the enemy!
If she believed - and she probably did - that the Marines, especially those she commanded, did in any way improve society (or harm society) then the answer is unqualified “yes,” especially if this improvement (or harm) is in addition to defense of (or offense for) the nation. For example, if the Marines offered women social mobility, education, rehabilitation programs, etc., which it does, then there is a sociological benefit.
The benefit sociologically was that joining any branch of the US armed forces gave economic opportunities to those who joined and succeeded. For the US society it ensbled us to find individuals with useful skills that might othrrwise not be discovered. From a long-time sociology professor.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen - yes, but, it is not part of the profession. It not necessary to compete or win. If kissing a woman was part of the contest, then yes. But it is not.

You don't have to have contact with ants to have a picnic and you dont have to have contact with women in a bike race.
@@debbigray1752 - Thanks, I will check it out. Note: I only watch the episodes with Dorothy in them or while she was still alive. It's a heartbreak to think about it all.
Dear WML, why is every other video now made "private?" I've been watching for almost 2 years and you've always had every episode up. Is there any reason that they were once pubic but now they are not?
Now had Dore Schary already been the head of MGM or was that imn the future for him? Was he the immediate successor to Louis B. Mayer in that capacity?
I've always thought it was a waste of time for John to ask the contestants if they were aware of the way the scoring system worked. You would think this could have been explained to them backstage before the show.
They probably all watch the show or try an episode or two if someone has recommended they be on it due to their odd occupation. I am certain they explain much during their business dealings to get them there and housed and ultimately paid. However, I think John asks this of people publicly due to the game show scandals of the 1950s. It keeps it on the up and up. Someone once asked what they panel knew ahead because they had a pencil and paper in front of them. Arlene explained on behalf of the panel that the contestant's name got erased from the chalkboard rather quickly, so they often wrote that down and then kept track of any answers to questions they felt they needed to recall during their questioning of the individual. So people can be suspicious of even a paper and pencil. FYI
I always thought the question, "Is it a useful product" unnecessary as well, how many people admit their product is not useful? I think maybe chewing gum comes to mind.
