      exactly the same as mine. And not so common a name...apparently Dorothy's mother and sister both lived into their 90's. Dorothy never got that chance.

    I was delighted to see Suzy's reaction to her son's reveal as the first challenger. I'm as big a sucker for a heart tug story as the next person, maybe bigger than most.
    But one thing puzzles me. When I heard Roger start to talk, it didn't sound like his voice was disguised that much. I was eagerly anticipating the masks coming off to hear his natural voice. It didn't sound all that different. I've seen blindfolded panelists pick up on the slightest nuance from the disguised voice of a Mystery Guest and correctly guess the identity. I was sure that as a mother, she would hear her son's voice somewhere in the disguise. But she didn't.

I couldn't believe I was seeing this classic with one of "Hitchcock's Blondes," but during her wonderful interview (which I videoed- it's here at czcams.com/video/cTiRnYC4RXE/video.html) she came across, as you mention, as such a down-to-earth, well-grounded lady I re-thought how I view stars, as they are just people, abet with incredible careers. I've seen her at interviews a few times since, and received very nice responses the two times I sent her mail (once for a request to autograph two stills, and another time after a showing of 1956's "That Certain Feeling"). She is pure class, and a great role model for others to follow.

    Just like local beers were disappearing from the NYC scene starting around this time, so were newspapers. For years, Dorothy Kilgallen was referred to as a columnist for the New York Journal-American newspaper. So was Suzy Knickerbocker.
    But not on this episode. Suzy is introduced as a columnist for the ill-fated World Journal Tribune. Hurt by the competitive NYC newspaper market and a series of strikes, the WJT was a result of a merger of three newspapers that themselves had been formed by earlier mergers. Seven newspapers had now become one.
    The Journal-American was the result of a merger of two Hearst newspapers. The New York American had originally been named The New York Journal. It was a morning newspaper. Then Hearst came out with The New York Evening Journal. The two merged in 1937 in broadsheet format and had several afternoon and evening additions. In general it aimed for the blue collar market and lost out to the tabloid New York Daily News.
    "World" in the title of the new newspaper came from the New York World-Telegram & Sun. the result of the merger of three separate newspapers over the years, although one was a spin off of another paper that eventually became part of the World Journal Telegram. The New York Evening Telegram started out in 1867 as the evening edition companion to the New York Herald. It was sold to the Scripps Howard newspaper syndicate in 1927. Four years later, Scripps Howard bought the New York World from the heirs of Joseph Pulitzer and merged the two papers although it was mostly the New York Telegram writers who retained their jobs. (2000 employees of the World lost there's.) As a result it trended to the right over the years although the Telegram prior to the sale to Scripps Howard and the World under Pulitzer tended to be liberal leaning. For years The World was a national mouthpiece for the Democratic Party and a pioneer practitioner of yellow journalism (fake news is not new), often competing with The Journal American for which paper could be most yellow (coming from opposite sides of the political spectrum). Interesting that the prizes for quality writing and journalism are named for Pulitzer.
    The World-Telegram was a broadsheet paper that acquired the tabloid New York Sun in 1950. It was also a conservative leaning paper aimed at the masses. It was one of the first newspapers to make a profit. Previously most newspapers lost money and considered their journalistic work a public service. They sustained themselves doing printing work for private customers in the days long before plain paper copiers and printers. But by 1950, the paper was on its last legs. It is probably best known for answering a question by a young reader named Virginia as to whether there is a Santa Claus (a fitting mention on a 12/25/66 episode). The resulting paper retained the broadsheet format.
    The third paper in the mix was probably the most prestigious and continued to print an international edition long after the merger of the New York newspapers. The New York Herald Tribune was printed in broadsheet format and was the primary competitor to the New York Times. It was generally moderate, identified with the liberal/eastern wing of the Republican Party, Protestantism, big business and internationalism. The Tribune (founded by Horace Greeley) acquired The Herald in 1924 and by World War II was challenging the New York Times in prestige and profit. But despite a highly regarded staff of writers, the paper faltered and a major strike crippled it.
    The original plan was for the staff of the former Herald Tribune to publish the morning edition of the new World Journal Tribune with the remnants of the staffs of the other two papers to produce the evening edition. But the attempted merger in April 1966 led to another major strike of 140 days as the unions wouldn't agree to the concessions that management felt were needed to make the new newspaper work. The Herald Tribune closed its doors for good in August so the resulting paper that finally started in September only boasted an evening edition.
    The project lost momentum with the strike. Instead of gaining the readers of the previous three papers, they generally found new sources for their news by September. The new newspaper was gone before the last episode of WML. Its final edition was in May 1967. Instead of a portion of employees being laid off, all the union workers lost their jobs. Instead of some losses, the owners of the new newspaper had a near total lost, although they had some assets to sell.
    As a result, the New York City media market that had 15 newspapers in 1900 was left with three major daily papers in 1967 (although with the population flight to the suburbs, Newsday on Long Island, the Newark Star-Ledger and The Record in New Jersey and the Gannett papers in Rockland-Westchester were growing in importance).
    The Daily News received most of the features from the failed newspapers (comic strips and columnists). Suzy's column moved to that paper until the Daily News and the New York Post pretty much flipped the script as far as their writing staffs and features were concerned after Rupert Murdoch bought the Post in 1976.

They had an entire formal dress outfit in the Scottish style with a kilt, knee-length hose, special shoes, a formal dress coat, a dress shirt and tie, and accouterments such as a sporran, which you could have custom made in the tartan of your choice for $1,500. One of those formal outfits with a kilt can be properly worn to any function requiring black or white tie. I don't know where he rented them, but a son of friends of mine got married wearing one of those formal outfits with a kilt and all the groomsmen wore kilts as well, due to the Scottish ancestry of the groom. In fact, there are organizations in this country that have an Irish or Scottish flair that march in parades wearing uniforms that have kilts, and even organizations featuring bagpipers that wear them in the U.S. So a kiltmaker in Canada or the U.S. doesn't surprise me -- somebody has to make all those kilts.

    "The Russians are Coming The Russians are Coming" did get nominated for the best film Oscar, but it got buried in a year with a lot of notable foreign entries. Carl Reiner and Alan Arkin as I recall were involved with Ms. Saint in a comedy about a Russian sub that grounded off the coast of Maine. Its director, Norman Jewison, did direct the film that won best film of 1967 and the film that should have won best film of 1971.

    • @garyd.7372

      "The Russians are Coming The Russians are Coming" is one of my favorite comedies, largely because it was adapted from a novel by Nathaniel Benchley, son of the great humorist Robert Benchley and father to Peter Benchley, author of the book "Jaws". When I'm stuck in traffic, I often shout out a line from the movie: (in bad Russian-accented English) "Emergency! Everybody to get from street!" It never does any good but it makes me feel better.

    • @soulierinvestments

      I cannot figure out why -- since the entrance had two portals -- why the director did not routinely ask contestants if they were left or right and have the leftists uh leftys come out left to sign. I would think it would be easier for them to do. Maybe it had something to do with the camera placement. . . . .

      Or, Hitchcock's classic North by Northwest. Hitchcock told her before filming that he had a different vision of how she would look, beyond her dowdy appearance in a "kitchen sink drama", and took her shopping to Bergdorf Goodmans for glamorous outfits to be worn in his new potential classic film in technicolor. Of course, she's always gorgeous, even in an unglamorous role in a black and white drama.

    Kilts! I'd say that the buckle is a moving part because you can't fasten or unfasten it without moving the spindle which goes through a hole in the leather. There was a laugh over that question because a true Scot is not meant to wear underpants beneath the kilt, so the moving parts swing freely! Bennet Cerf is rather naive to ask why a kilt-maker works in Canada - many Scots emigrated and became more Scottish than the Scottish in order to preserve their culture. The only Canadian I knew in the past was called MacGregor.

      Watching this episode has improved my opinion of "Suzy Knickerbocker"/Aileen Mehle about a hundredfold! She always seemed rather affected and "put on" to me, but after she recognizes her son in this episode, she is clearly filled with genuine emotion and not afraid to show it. I think the "real" Aileen Mehle shines through and continues to be the person sitting on the panel for the rest of the episode, and I like Aileen a lot better than "Suzy."

As I noted in a follow-up to my catty comments about Suzy on her mystery guest appearance in October, if she *can* be this personable and genuine, why would she ever suppress that warmth in her other times on the show? I don't know if she was trying to be competitive and businesslike in a bid to occupy the "Dorothy" seat on the panel permanently, but it's one possibility. Anyway, this one episode is the only time I've been able to enjoy watching her.

In this case, she was caught with her guard down, and the public persona was forgotten. I'm glad we have this recorded example of her true self. :)

    • @loissimmons6558
      @loissimmons6558 Před 5 lety +1

      At one time, New York City was the home of a number of local beers: Rheingold, Schaefer, Ballantine, Piels, and Trommer's among the best known. Another well-known beer was Knickerbocker. A product of the Ruppert Brewery (Jacob Ruppert being the owner of the Yankees when they became a successful franchise in the 1920's and 30's) they were the sponsor of the Yankees for some time. But after Jacob Ruppert died and the estate sold the team, Knickerbocker was associated only with the Giants. Although my family was sold out for the Dodgers, occasionally when the Dodgers weren't playing, we would watch of listen to a Giants game and hear the refrain "Knock, knock for Knickerbocker, New York's famous beer." Knickerbocker beer had started to fail by 1966, but the slogan was still around, no doubt. I can't help but wonder if that slogan contributed to John Daly's brain fart as he tried to rush and get in a quick final round.
      Knickerbocker beer has an indirect connection to WML. In the early 1950's, it was the sponsor of a nightly show on weekdays called "The Knickerbocker Beer Show" on NBC's local NYC station. On September 27, 1954, that show was cut back to 15 minutes and the rest of the show under a different name switched over to the NBC network. When the show switched to the network, it became known as "The Steve Allen Show". Since Knickerbocker wasn't a national brand, it wasn't viable as a sponsor on the network portion.
      The national portion of that show on 9/27/54 is generally considered to be the first "Tonight Show". But here is the local portion of that night's broadcast. It contains times when Steve is taking a sip of beer direct from the glass after pouring from a bottle of beer. With him on the show are Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Skitch Henderson and Bill Kenney of the Ink Spots. (Bill Kenny was the singer that Redd Foxx as Fred Sanford would imitate on "Sanford and Son", singing "If I Didn't Care".)
      czcams.com/video/AeIBJst6evA/video.html
      And an advertisement showing the knock for Knickerbocker jingle. It was probably found on the wall or in the window of a local tavern.
      www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-knickerbocker-beer-wall-sign-1899768929
      Of course there is a vulgar meaning of the word "knocker" that dates back to 1941. No doubt a lot of minds went in that direction when John Daly misspoke.
