Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis and Martin Gabel are joined by British stage star, Martyn Green, on this 500th broadcast and 10th-anniversary broadcast. First up is Don L. Brown, a Colorado man who is the Physical Education Director at a women's college. Dorothy Kilgallen almost immediately identifies Mr. Brown's profession but mentions that where he teaches is a school for girls. Next up, Mrs. Thelma Wagner of Hampton, Iowa. Mrs. Wagner makes horse blankets. After much discussion, Arlene Francis asks if Mrs. Wagner has anything to do with horse blankets and the panel wins the round. Mystery celebrity guest this special evening is Julie Andrews, star of the blockbuster Lerner and Loewe musical, "My Fair Lady," and Rodger's and Hammerstein's acclaimed television version of "Cinderella." Arlene Francis hits the proverbial nail yet again and correctly identifies Miss Andrews. Finally, a New York City woman, Miss Judy Joye is asked to sign in, though time is running short. Miss Joye is a professional skin diver ( searching, salvaging and instructing), but the clock does, indeed, run out and the young lady wins the round by default. John Daly thanks Mr. Green for filling in for Bennett Cerf, who is on jury duty, bids the panel good night and, as is his custom these last ten years, invites viewers to tune in next week for another episode of "What's MY Line."

Arlene Francis, Eamonn Andrews, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf are this evening's panelists. Host and moderator John Daly greets the panel and mentions that Miss Francis is appearing tonight under very trying circumstances. Her maid was trying to pry open a window with a dumbbell. Unfortunately, it fell eight stories, killing a man from Detroit, who was visiting New York City. Mr. Daly thanked Miss Francis for showing up this evening and pressed on. The first contestant was a Queens man, Mr. Arthur Morcante, a Golden Gloves finalist in 1938 and a referee from a boxing match the previous week - seen and mentioned by both Mr. Daly and Mr. Andrews. As Mr. Daly points out, that is his avocation, but his vocation or occupation is beer salesman for the Rheingold Beer Corporation. Dorothy Kilgallen correctly identifies Mr. Morcante's job, and the panel wins. Next is an 83-year-old Arizona gentleman, O.T. Gillette, from Flagstaff, Arizona. He's a cowboy, and though Miss Kilgallen comes very close, it is Bennett Cerf who correctly guesses the gentleman's job. In conversation with Mr. Daly, it's revealed that Mr. Gillette hosts a local radio show in Flagstaff and is quite a character. This evening's celebrity mystery guests are the comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May and Mr. Cerf, yet again, identifies the pair. Mr. Daly mentions that Miss May is not feeling well, but not before Mike Nichols says he and Miss May have an upcoming revue in October. Finally, a young man, Mr. Mitch Shapiro signs in and, as it happens, Mr. Shapiro puts sticks in Popsicle's for a company based in his hometown of Dunkirk, New York. Unfortunately, time runs out, and Mr. Daly flips over the cards, and Mr. Shapiro wins by default. As ever, the panel exchanges good nights and Mr. Daly invites viewers to tune in next week.

Arlene Francis, guest panelist Tony Randall, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf are on deck this evening. Miss Francis thanks the studio and viewing audiences for their support for her during her recent tragedy. On a lighter note, host and moderator, John Daly, wishes Miss Kilgallen a very happy birthday. This evening's contestants come in pairs and groups. First up, Miss La Velda Rowe and Miss La Vona Rowe, twin sisters from Iowa City, Iowa, who are news photographers. The panel is stumped, so the sisters win by default. Next up, a pair of sisters from Utah, who sell worms to fishermen. Miss Kilgallen, with laser-beam focus, correctly determines the girls' summer occupation. The mystery celebrity guests this evening are the young ladies and gentlemen who appear as the Trapp family singers in the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, "The Sound of Music," a tremendous hit. Lauri Peters, who plays the eldest daughter, Liesl, acts as spokesman for the group, who are identified by Arlene Francis. Miss Francis would like for them to sing, "Do-Re-Mi," but, Mr. Daly says that's not allowed, but says he took his family to see the show and was utterly delighted. Finally, in keeping with this evening's theme, brothers Bernard and Howard Ross of Union, New Jersey, and dentists are the final contestants. Time is short, but Tony Randall correctly identifies the gentlemen's' profession. There is some banter about the upcoming Democratic convention in Los Angeles this Presidential election year, which John Daly will cover before the panel says good night and Mr. Daly invites viewers to tune in next week.

Arlene Francis, her husband, Martin Gabel, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf are this evening's panelists. Host and moderator John Daly gets right down to business and introduces Miss Lou Pickett, a Texas woman and a crackerjack plumber. Bennett Cerf identifies the woman's profession very quickly, and the panel wins. Next is Mrs. Pauline Nesselrodt, a Virginia woman who makes false horse tails for decorative purposes. Miss Kilgallen does come very close, but Mr. Daly flips the cards, and Mrs. Nesselrodt wins by default. Tonight's mystery celebrity guest is comedian Shelley Berman. Bennett Cerf identifies him directly and, in conversation with Mr. Daly; Daly mentions that Mr. Berman's recent comedy album has sold a half a million copies. The panel exchanges their good nights, and Bennett Cerf wishes John Daly Godspeed, as he is off to cover the Democratic convention in Los Angeles, which begins the very next day.
