Wow a soap in the 1950s without organ music that was rare. Look at Sally Gracie who was so mean here she went on to play the lovable Martha on the Doctors for many many years.
Wonderful to see a few of daytime drama's most endearing and enduring performers here. Reid, Fickett, and Gracie all played such loveable matriarchs in later years (DOOL's Alice, AMC's Ruth, and Drs' Martha and OLTL's Ina respectively). It'd be nice to see an episode featuring Byron Sanders (who played the Karen Wolek's most notorious extramarital lover Talbot Huddleston on OLTL) too.
Originally, cake mixes had dried eggs in it--as well as milk--but women would add them and the cake didn't turn out properly. It turns out that they did so because they felt they weren't "baking" by just adding water. So they were reformulated so eggs had to be added, as Swans Down touts, thus giving women a sense of accomplishment.
Betty Crocker never put dried eggs in their mixes, but Pillsbury did ("Milk is ALL you add.") Even Pillsbury went to an add-eggs formula by the end of the 1950s

That Post Grape-Nuts Flakes sound great!!! I'll try that in the morning!
Thanks so much for posting this! I've been looking for more clips of Sally Gracie!
When she grew up, Renne Jarrett briefly starred in Sidney Sheldon's "NANCY" (NBC, 1970) {the President's daughter marries a small-town veterinarian}.
Rah-rah, You-Tube, Zis Boom Bah!
I heard of this now-forgotten soap opera.
Byron Saunders...didn't he play Talbot Huddleston on OLTL at the same time Sally Gracie was on the show?
Now I want to try calves liver out of curiosity!
I believe Tony Mottola was the guitarist....
Richard Diamond brought me here

When did the soaps start crediting the camera men?
i have no idea...........
lov original add, THE STORY OF AN OUTRAGES AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,it was yelled by a woman with a loud deep voice,where is it gone now?
Ahhh! Steve, if you wanted a woman who would 'try out a new recipe and having it turn out well' every evening, then why didn't you marry one?!
Not a soap fan here, just the open and closing credits....but I don't think there were many soaps that depended on a guitar for incidental music.
