Miss Higgins had such a sweet wholesome face and manner! Beautiful smile. Very appealing and gentle-looking, yet she'd have to be tough to go to the places she does and do her kind of job.
Her stories on the Korean War are utterly incredible (and it's why she won the Pulitzer Prize). She actually got into a landing craft with US Marines at Inchon and was on the beaches when they were trying to take the city (only one other journalist, a man from Milwaukee, dared risk it with her because the risk of death was so high). Ms. Higgins said that even on the FIFTH WAVE of Marines landed, the North Koreans were still resisting and blasting at them with everything from machine guns to small arms fire (IIRC even the US officers were in disbelief about the amount of ammunition they seemed possess). After reading it, I had even higher respect for the men who landed at Normandy on D-Day, since they also had to scale up cliffs in many cases, while under similar conditions to this. Higgins was one astounding woman.
19:27 Those are the legendary Baird Puppets for Remington Electric Shavers. Bil and Cora Baird's puppets inspired future puppeteers such as Jim Henson. No words for future legend James Coburn, 'cept...yowza! 😎👍
Marguerite Higgins was a lovely young woman - she had a degree from Columbia in journalism. she covered the Korean War. not many war correspondents were women - even during Vietnam. she so unfortunately died of a rare disease having been bitten by a sand fly in Vietnam in 1965. this really makes me very saddened. whatever happens afterwards, she’s happy. :) 🧚🏻 👩🏼
Interestingly, from what I've read, Ms. Higgins was of the opinion that Vietnam was going to be serious trouble for the US after what she saw in Korea (and felt we hadn't learned many of the lessons from that conflict).
omg - Paul Winchell - and Jerry Mahony - they were terrific. gosh i miss all these people. they were such talets!!!! i think they said that even Soupy Sails was on once. love to see that one. too bad White Fang and Black Tooth couldn’t make it 😋🐕🦺🦮 + Mortimer Snerd and Farfel was mentioned - “Nestles makes the very best chaaaawk - late !”.
Oh my gosh, this was on a year before I was born, I am just seeing it for first time today (61+ years later) and it still had me laughing. Same question as others about Jerry Mahoney PLUS, he cost my mom $50 and a trip to Mammoth when I was on with him on Truth or Consequences with Bob Barker around 1964. Man, I didn't hear the end of it as we drove up Gower Street (after the show)-how I cost mom that stupid trip...all because she was asked would I talk or not talk if/when left alone with the damned doll [in a sound proofed room with only a couch]. She said i would cry my eyes out and the audience started laughing. Bob Barker wouldn't accept her answer. She said not talk...I cried my eyes out and was scared to death of the big dummy ;-) The consolation prize was a Hoover vacuum that eventually was worth more than the trip anyway. She still didn't forgive me! But even I can still hear the audience absolutely laughing till they cried when I broke out in tears. Poor mom!
I accidentally ran onto this episode again, I knew somewhere I heard Mr. Daly mention a 30 second commercial! I guess my synapse regulator isn't fully malfunctioning! :) :) :)
I can understand. I have seen so many of these eps & most of the times it's very tough to recall which quip was made in what episode unless one remembers the mystery guest.
I'm guessing Arlene didn't pursue the questioning about the "wooden head" because it would have been more fun if Paul winchell went ahead with it. Class act.
Arlene and Jerry exchanges were always entertaining. Read about Paul Winchell’s life. He was a true renaissance man. He invented the original artificial heart and donated his designs to a university to continue developing. He designed an electric car. He created a method for breeding tilapia to help poor countries feed their people. He invented a flameless cigarette lighter. He held over 30 patents.
There is a story about Paul Winchell being upset over Edgar bergen being considered a better ventriloquist. Pauk commented that "but I don't move my lips"...Efgar Bergan did, in fact, move his lips. It didn't matter in radio where no one saw him or in the movies where the cameras didn't show Edgar.
Wow, beri beri? dengue fever, malaria? Nope, Leishmaniasis a disease caused by a parasite found in sandfly bites, destroys the red blood cells..killed her at 45 or 46..
When Higgins was six months old, she came down with malaria. A doctor told the family to take her to a mountain resort in present-day Vietnam to recover, which she did. Decades later, Higgins returned from assignment in South Vietnam in November 1965, where Higgins contracted leishmaniasis, a disease that led to her death on January 3, 1966, aged 45, in Washington, D.C. She is interred at Arlington National Cemetery with her husband.
Been faster to just ask name :) Wonder if they explain it is a Yes or No? Again hooked on 'Product' even if told "in a matter of specking" but; store.... wont let go of bone :)
That's amazing that they would give $8.50 trade-in on your old shaver (as I understood the ad) because $8.50 in today's money is actually a whopping $80.12! Strange to think that you can get a nice new acceptable Norelco electric shaver for probably a little more than half that trade-in value in converted money.
That’s because electronics are very expensive when they are first introduced and as the years past, they become cheaper and cheaper. It’s a great way to figure out what are the cheaper and more expensive items on the price is right. Think how much computers used to cost 10- 15-20 years ago, and how much cheaper they are for the most amazing laptops or desktops or even your own phone. As the technology gets older and more popular the prices go down.
For 20 plus years. Bergen was not even the best ventriloquist, but his characters personalities came to life, even on the radio. He came from vaudeville which was very popular, people in cites were vary familiar with his dummies because of this and of course pics that advertised the appearances in their towns. When he went on radio people could imagine the antics of the dummies. Strange concept for us, but made him millions.
This was not an expression of modesty. They dressed and comported themselves with manners and a higher education level. It was the average behaviour and intelligence expectation, achievement, normal level, and the societal level of that era which began to fail from the early '60's and continued to desentigrate into the present corruption of today. We are far below the achievement, intelligent and standards of excellence of that era. An education received then was of a high standard and society was was much more caring and supportive.
@@richardsandberg5895 Since this was an overall generallization of that era, of course not. If you apply your reasoning, the ultra rich families whom never faced famine would of course be in your catagory. Also the families whom did would be in another. That is why I made it general.
Remember reading that Winchell revealed many years ago of being Gay, and how it did cause him some tense moments in his life in show biz to 'keep it under wraps'...especially with his TV show being geared to a Young audience..always afraid that the Sponsors would hear of it and Cancel his show...has any one else ever heard of this? As a boy, used to watch his show regularly, and thought the Dude was rather Handsome....

What modesty in dress and demeanor. Truly an Era of grace beauty and refinement. Wish it would come back.
Me too…
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Amen !
Absolutely 😊❤
I wish that all that is true but it is not.
How amazing to see the great tigger.
The women of the panel on WML were some of the smartest
A great classy game show ! Somebody please invent another one for today's TV !! 🤗
Elon Musk?
We DON'T live in the same country any longer!! There WAS a time we had ENTERTAINERS now we have PERFORMERS and there is a BIG difference!!
This is so much better than the TV today.
20:18 There's something you didn't see everyday, James Coburn hawking electric shavers.
The two dummies was a great idea and very funny.

Jerry and Mortimer were hilarious! 🤣 I loved it!!!!
This show gives me a brain "boost" whenever I watch it!
I love to see what the stars looked like when they were young and starting out.
Perfect pairing with Edgar Bergman. My dad had a Remington razor.
This show ran 17 YEARS !!!!
I recognized James Coburn shaving on his Remington in the commercial. I think that's how a lot of them got started.
@tinwoods I thought they called him Jimmy. It's funny to see commercials of how stars got started. There's probably a video on that someplace.
That Marguerite Higgins had a lot of grace.
That sweet talk from Arlene Francis! She was so lovely.
She could melt any man's heart!
Back when things were so much better than in 2022

BLESS You,for your kind comments.The"J." School in Columbia was and IS a well known school,if it's in Columbia,Missouri, also known as"MIZZOU."
I'm so sad to hear that she died so young. A lovely lady and so very accomplished.
Interestingly, from what I've read, Ms. Higgins was of the opinion that Vietnam was going to be serious trouble for the US after what she saw in Korea (and felt we hadn't learned many of the lessons from that conflict).
When I was in kindergarten, my parents got us an lp record that had Paul Winchell and his friends on it. I wish I could find it as it was so funny!😂😂
What a great show WML
Paul Winchell's face just lit up like a child meeting his hero.
Famous forerunners to the great Jeff Dunham, who rules ventriloquism today with his five fab dummies. 💟🤗
omg - Paul Winchell - and Jerry Mahony - they were terrific. gosh i miss all these people. they were such talets!!!! i think they said that even Soupy Sails was on once. love to see that one. too bad White Fang and Black Tooth couldn’t make it 😋🐕🦺🦮

omg -THE perfect guest!! LOL 🎭
When I saw the second contestant was "Grace Kelley", I thought the mystery guest was going to be the actress Grace Kelly. To fool the panel. Doh!
I was thinking there's no way are they that stupid... would be too easy and a waste of a guest.
a) There were no blindfolds and b) she doesn't spell her name the same way
She issues marriage licenses.
Nice captions. Thank you.
As a ventriloquist, I got a kick from Mortimer Snerd.
Where do you do your ventriloquism acts???
@@SweetChicagoGator At various clubs, theatres and senior centers in NYC area.
Cerf - "Has it ever been alive ?"
Yes, it has. It's from a tree. Paper.
not everyone considers something that comes from the ground to have been alive.
In the 1950s, definitions were much different than today.
"Alive" in this show means animal. "Animal" on the other hand means specificlly "mammal". Fish and birds aren't animals, etc.
Oh my gosh, this was on a year before I was born, I am just seeing it for first time today (61+ years later) and it still had me laughing.

Was she really that upset?
So crying was considered talking? She was forced to give a wrong answer even though the answered correctly the first time.
Arlene Francis was something special. ❤ 🤔( "Green Fire", UK.)🌈🦉
Great episode!
Great show and vintage ads with early muppet characters.
I accidentally ran onto this episode again, I knew somewhere I heard Mr. Daly mention a 30 second commercial! I guess my synapse regulator isn't fully malfunctioning! :) :) :)
I can understand. I have seen so many of these eps & most of the times it's very tough to recall which quip was made in what episode unless one remembers the mystery guest.
My cousin’s 3 year old daughter is called Remington Moon. Her sister are named Aralysiana and Delilah.
that (the 1st one) is the most adorable pre-perfection commercial i have ever seen. i’d go buy a Remington for my Legs. LOL 🌷👯♀️
What's a "pre-perfection commercial"? 👀
Surprised they didn’t blindfold the dummy, too! (Just for fun, obviously)
Edgar Bergan...major ventriloquist act ON THE RADIO!
I'm guessing Arlene didn't pursue the questioning about the "wooden head" because it would have been more fun if Paul winchell went ahead with it. Class act.
Why wasn't the dummy blindfolded?
Well because Jerry said he'd stay quite
Paul Winchell
Voice of cartoon dog Muttley, too?
@@lukechello4611, quite quiet..
That would have been hilarious. Why didn't they think of that?
Paul Winchell invested a practical artificial heart
Mortimer Snerd...loved him.
Bennett Cerf was obsessed with that question about is it or has it ever been alive?
Winchell patented the first artificial heart.
Can you prove that ?
@@dcasper8514Google is your friend
I loved the Paul Winchell show 😄
Me too, Ronnie!
That $8.50 that Remington offered for trade-in would be about $83.00 in 2022!
Arlene and Jerry exchanges were always entertaining.

Paul was correct in his statement of moving lips.
I wonder whether Paul had ever met Edgar before then. (Can anyone name Edgar's female dummy?)
Bergen was hilarious but he was not really a ventriloquist
@@rogerpropes7129 Effie Klinker, no?
Marguerite Higgins died 10 years later when she caught some crazy tropical disease while on assignment!
Wow, beri beri?
Wow, beri beri?
dengue fever, malaria?
Nope, Leishmaniasis a disease caused by a parasite found in sandfly bites, destroys the red blood cells..killed her at 45 or 46..

@@robertsprouse9282How very sad.🙏🙏🙏
Paul Winchell was certainly one troubled soul. Read his autobiography "Winch" .
Been faster to just ask name :) Wonder if they explain it is a Yes or No? Again hooked on 'Product' even if told "in a matter of specking" but; store.... wont let go of bone :)
Welllll, the tree the paper was made of had been alive so was the cotten. Hmm
A wonderful era! Men opening doors...
What did Jerry Mahoney do to Arlene under the desk ?
Ya know.... Slurp lick slurp lick ;)
Two ventriloquists on the same show!!?

@@divinewon73 Yes that's true - I have noticed that since the 70s when I became aware of the marvel of new versus older electronics, etc.
“Is there any variety in the form of this product? No…” 21st century: “hold my man purse”
so much innuendo on this show how the censors let these go in!!!
So why did you feel it was necessary to incorrectly label this episode ? Instead of naming Edgar Bergin as the mystery guest ?
He was the mystery guest?
I thought it was Edgar Bergen..who voiced Mortimer Snerd..
It was not " incorrectly labeled"; there was 'some trickery with Grace Kelly'!
@@MrMenefrego1 Technically no, the challenger was "Grace Kelley".
Why isn't Jerry Mahoney wearing a mask !? ;-)
I think I need a Remington shaver.
Hey y'all., it's the voice of Tigger. T I double guh, e r.
who?
Paul had to bring his puppets along, didn't he?
💋
Paul winchell also the voice of Dick Dastardly
Change the title please...there was NO Grace Kelly on this episode.
Was she in the Remington Dutchess commercial?
What the heck did this have to do with its caption, “Trickery with Grace Kelly”??
Back when people truly deserved a Pulitzer Prize...
tinwoods Exactly the point. A person should earn an award.
Christy Patton Absolutely... unlike Obama.
@@michaelrutledge7048 definitely not the Donald. Ever.
Mahoney was cheating! He had no mask.
People would trade in their old electric razors like a car? Now they just chuck them in the garbage!
That's for the info., I had no idea! 👀
Daly kept telling go get off product and they continued to question. Cerf was the most annoying panelist on WML.
Hate those commercials!
