    Wow, some of these comments directed at Ms. Fields about her singing voice deserved an apology afterwards as she was known for her comedy AND strong singing voice. Arlene at 17:31: "I have a feeling you must be a comedienne . . . . a comedian but not a singer"; Bennett Cerf at 18:28: "Despite all evidence to the contrary, have you ever appeared in a musical show?" She seemed a bit embarrassed by Arlene's remark. Granted, Ms. Fields was clowning around here, but it's obvious she's got a great voice, so I don't understand those remarks.

      At his size, I wonder if he was a coxswain when he competed rather than an oarsman.
      Anyway, his career at Columbia ended in disgrace. He was fired in the middle of the 1960 season, something unusual for college sports, especially a non-revenue producing one. Not only did his crews post a 1-14 record during his tenure at what had been one of the more prestigious sports for the Columbia Lions, but there had been a great deal of contention between him and members of the team. In fact, some of the best rowers wouldn't even come out for the team while he was coach.
      From the Columbia University student newspaper, the Columbia Daily Spectator, May 4, 1960:

      I'd guess that it was because his size would be ideal for a jockey. No doubt before becoming a coach, he had had experience as a coxswain: the little guy who rides on the front of a crew scull and coordinates the work of the rowers by synchronizing their strokes.

    If Ed Wynn and Jean Stapleton had a baby, it would have been the first contestant. It's always interesting to see people on the show who would have been teenagers in the 19th century.
    10:10 The second contestant looked like a real weasel, eh? I had a great Aunt who spoke the way Gracie Fields did when she disguised her voice. She spent half her life in the looney bin. 19:05 Arlene had her head turned so she could see through the space beside her nose. She always did that just before she guessed the mystery guest. What a faker! 22:57 The answer is YES, in Asian countries.

      The Brave Introvert As with so many bright people, it shocks us to learn this about them. But Arleen lived to a v advanced age, so it isn’t quite as shocking.

    I can't find anything on Mrs. Brewer (other than the same census results Mark got 6 months ago), which is rather annoying since you'd think her stage name'd get some results, but noooo.
    The All Important Stand-Up Watch: Everyone did for Mrs. Brewer. Only Dana did for Miss Fields. Tsk, Arlene. (Then again, she was only 60 at that point. And hadn't been knighted yet, as she was later.)

      Searching for Mrs. Brewer under her theatrical name of Grandma Darling, I found one item in a show business newspaper, "The Billboard", dated 9/1/45. Darling might have been either her maiden name or the last name of a previous husband. Someone named Anne Darling helped her celebrate her 65th birthday in Buffalo. The item said that she began her entertainment career 50 years earlier in England with a "kiddie revue".
      There was an Anne Darling who had a career as an actress who was born in what is now Troy, NY in 1915. Isabel Brewer would have been around age 35 at that time.

      Doug w. Dana Wynter was in the movie" The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Kevin McCarthy,back in the mid to late 1950's.It was one of the best science fiction movies in films,a cult classic,I would think.It was about aliens replicating your body,as soon as you fell asleep,and the " body forms were pods,that the bodies " developed in.and became" alive" and Was that person's double.I can not remember,the name of the planet,these aliens were from? A very scary,frightening movie when it came out.I think,TCM,has had it on its station.
