I read Arthur Marx book a few years ago. Very good read.
Ilka Chase, with her trademark neckline, was part of the NY poised scene of charm school ladies like Kitty Carlisle and Arlene Francis
I've just discovered my new favorite show
Groucho Marx's son looked like him to my eyes. Pat McCormick was a great champion. She is still with us at age 90. Thanks for the video.
I don't know how anyone could have missed Groucho's son? He has his eyes, and his facial bone structure.
Great show
Wonderful episode! The next episode, which aired on March 5, 1957, marked Miss Kitty Carlisle's TTTT debut. She was to TTTT as Miss Francis was to WML as Mr. Morgan was to IGAS in that their roles with each lasted around 25 years, including the network and syndicated versions.
Ilka Chase was ALWAYS a CLASS ACT, on and off Screen. Totally under-utilized by Hollywood.
Ilka Chase is the daughter of Edna Chase, the editor of Vogue under Conde Nast.
Jockey Dave Erb is still alive as of this post (November 29, 2016). He is 93.
I used to watch this show with my mother on TV.
Got the jockey on the first question. #3 was the only one who knew where the track was located. As far as Arthur Marx goes, knowing the history of Milton Berle, and his mother, I still don't know why Polly thought it was so important, that Arthur should know her last name. He worked for Milton, not his mother.
Thanks for the TTTT episode. The first game was no sweat. #1 was, definitely, Arthur Marx, hence the resemblance. In the second game, I was surprised that #2 was Olympic champion diver (and Ohio State alum) Pat McCormick. It shows that the media back in the Fifties was not as widespread as it is today because, nowadays, technology covers stories 24/7 on different formats. Back then, it was just TV, radio, newspapers, and the movie newsreels in the theatres. So it was a bit infrequent.
They should have worn Groucho glasses.
Polly Bergen and Ralph Bellamy starred in the TV-miniseries "The Winds of War", 1983.
Great questions for the Marxes -- does your father read for pleasure? and what does he really smoke at home? Groucho was one of the best read men in showbiz, and if memory serves me, one of Arthur's books on his father noted that he pipe smoked at home. The comic potential of pipes is rather nil.
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK-THAT’S ED MURROW’S SEE IT NOW CLOSING LINE.
Arthur Marx appeared on TO TELL THE TRUTH again in the 1970s.
pat mccormick, the 4 time gold medalist in diving is still alive at 88. the kentucky derby jockey's name is david "erb", not herb. he narrowly missed winning the triple crown in 1956 finishing 2nd in the preakness, he (on needles) won the belmont stakes and kentucky derby. no mention of his passing on wikipedia, he'd be 95 if still alive.
In the third game, I knew it was #3 the minute it became apparent that he was the only one who knew where Hollywood Park Race Track was located.
