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.

Won 4 Primetime Emmys. Edit Cast Complete series cast summary: Lucille Ball Lucy Ricardo episodes, Desi Arnaz Ricky Ricardo episodes, Vivian Vance Ethel Mertz episodes, William Frawley Edit Did You Know? Trivia William Frawley , aka "Fred Mertz", had a well known and longtime issue with alcoholism. He was advised in the beginning of the series to stay sober, or be terminated. So, if you look closely, a majority of his scenes display his character having his hands deep in his pockets. This would therefore not show his hands trembling, due to his alcoholic withdrawals. Goofs The Ricardos are said to live in an apartment at East 68th Street, which in real life would be located in the East River. This is not actually a 'goof' because it was done deliberately to avoid legal issues with an actual address. Quotes Lucy Ricardo : How much do you want to bet? Fred Mertz : Ten dollars. Ethel Mertz : Well what's the matter with twenty dollars? Ricky Ricardo : What's the matter with thirty dollars? Lucy Ricardo : What's the matter with fifty dollars? Fred Mertz : What was the matter with ten dollars? Crazy Credits In some of the episodes, the guest-star's name s are voiced over, by conductor, Wilbur Hatch , in the Opening Credits or Closing Credits. Alternate Versions The famous opening credit sequence, where the names appear over a heart, was not a part of the original series run.

    Suggested Answers to Guide Questions and Problems, Reference, Web of Life, Vallery M. Stewart, Biol Associates, 1996, , . DOWNLOAD HERE , , , , . On both Take It or Leave It and The $64 Question, contestants were asked questions devised by the series' writer-researcher Edith Oliver. She attempted to make each question slightly more difficult than the preceding one. After answering a question correctly, the contestant had the choice to "take" the prize for that question or "leave it" in favor of a chance at the next question. The first question was worth one dollar, and the value doubled for each successive question, up to the seventh and final question worth $64. During the 1940s, "That's the $64 question" became a common catchphrase for a particularly difficult question or problem. In addition to the common phrase "Take it or leave it", the show also popularized another phrase, widely spoken in the 1940s as a taunt but now mostly forgotten (except in Warner Bros. cartoons). Chanted in unison by the entire audience when someone chose to risk their winnings by going for the $64 prize, it was vocalized with a rising inflection: "You'll be sorrr-REEEE!" The $64,000 Question was created by Louis G. Cowan, formerly known for radio's Quiz Kids and the television series Stop the Music. Cowan had difficulty locating sponsorship for The $64,000 Question. Cosmetics giant Helena Rubenstein, which eventually did become a familiar television advertiser, rejected the idea, reportedly because its wealthy founding namesake did not own a television set at the time and had no idea of the medium's advertising potential.

    "Broadway’s My Beat" Episodic Log "Broadway's My Beat" Released January, 2008 The Episodic Log prepared by Edward Sehlhorst, ed_sehlhorst at yahoo.com Series Name Description: This series has been produced with two different spellings of the main title. "Broadway's My Beat" and "Broadway Is My Beat". Both spellings are substantiated by various documents including scripts. "Broadway's My Beat" will be used as the primary series name for this certification document because it is how the title was spoken in each broadcast episode. The arguments for both spellings are contained in the "What's in a Name" document in the Anthology folder. Please note however, the episode abbreviated filenames use BIMB for the convenience of so many who are comfortable with this acronym. Disclaimer: Many supporting documents in this certification set use the series name of Broadway Is My Beat . There has been no attempt to change any of these to the name chosen for the series, Broadway's My Beat . From Wikipedia : a radio crime drama ran on CBS from February 27, 1949 to August 1, 1954. With music by Robert Stringer, the show originated from New York during its first three months on the air, with Anthony Ross portraying Times Square Detective Danny Clover. John Dietz directed for producer Lester Gottlieb. Beginning with the July 7, 1949 episode, the series was broadcast from Hollywood with producer Elliott Lewis directing a new cast with scripts by Morton Fine and David Friedkin. The opening theme of "I'll Take Manhattan" introduced Detective Danny Clover (played by Larry Thor), a hardened New York City cop who worked homicide "from Times Square to Columbus Circle -- the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world ."
