Hal March, 35-year-old actor-comedian, won the assignment of master of ceremonies for “The $64,000 Question” after some 300 candidates had been screened for the role, including top emcees in radio and television, commentators, Broadway actors, screen stars and others. The career of the personable host of “The $64,000 Question” program has ranged from amateur welterweight boxer on the West Coast during his late teens to nightclub and vaudeville comedian, film actor and featured per former (dramatic actor as well as comedian) on some of the most popular radio and television shows. March was bom in San Francisco. After graduation from high school there, he joined a nightclub act which traveled about California. Hal continued as a nightclub performer until 1941, when he joined the Army and served as a radar operator in the Coast Artillery. After receiving his discharge from the Service at the end of 1943, he went into radio acting in San Francisco. Six months later he was in Hollywood as half of the comedy team of Sweeny and March, who were heard on CBS stations for 89 weeks. In 1947 he appeared frequently as guest artist on the “Perry Como Supper Club” and did guest stints on many of the comedy programs, including those of Jack Benny, Jackie Gleason, Jimmy Durante, and Bob Hope. He was Harry Morton, the “next door neighbor” on the Burns and Allen radio program, and when the pair went on television he continued in the role for a while. Subsequently, the Sweeny and March combination was reactivated and performed as a disc jockey pair for a year. Last season Hal played the part of Imogene Coca’s husband on her television series and co-starred (and co-authored) with Tom d’Andrea in their own series, “The Soldiers,” In the movies, Hal played Gus Edwards in “The Eddie Cantor Story,” the second male lead in “Yankee Pasha” and was a prize-fighter in “It’s Always Pair Weather,” which starred Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey and Cyd Charisse. Most recently, he co-starred with Vivian Blaine in Elmer Rice’s “Dream Girl” on Maurice Evans * Hall of Fame color spectacular. Hal is married to Candy Toxton. His mother, three sisters and a brother live in San Francisco. He is the first member of his family to enter show business. He says he was bitten by the acting bug at the age of 12, when he appeared in a homespun operetta staged by his junior high school class. March has an emest ambition to become a “serious writer” some day and for a long time has been at work on a psychological novel in which he develops six conflicting facets of one man’s character. He collects recordings and is avidly interested in sports. During his high school years he played football, basketball and baseball on the school teams and during his few years as an amateur boxer in San Francisco he fought 25 bouts. 11 Congratulations . to the Apple Festival Queen IMOGENE'S BEAUTY SALON 1335 WALNUT to make every client MURPHYSBORO, ILLINOIS a Queen ROSE'S BEAUTY SALON 2139 McCORD OUR CONSTANT ENDEAVOR !

Not a glamour girl, nor a sophisticated lady, Lyn Weatherly, at the age of 16 was a shy, pretty girl who had made the honors club each year and managed to engage in numerous extra-curricular activities. A junior at Murphysboro Township High School, she danced to rock ’n roll, was a regular swimmer, sewed her own dresses, and centered her cooking around frying an egg or a hamburger. A blue eyed, taffy-blond with a soft voice, she was the judges’ choice over 21 contestants for possessing the combined qualities of grace, charm, poise and beauty.
