Former-mystery-guest-turned-panelist Richard Boone joins Arlene, Dorothy and his current costar in Broadway's "The Rivalry", Martin Gabel, for tonight's show. First up is a burly Indiana man who is a bridal consultant, followed by a California woman, one Miss Dietrich (no relation to Marlene), who is the chief pilot of aircraft company. Mystery guest Johnny Mathis is quickly identified by Dorothy Kilgallen, when she asks if he autographed a pair of her shoes recently and he confesses, happily to say that, indeed, he had (evidently, this was a hobby of Kilgallen's and her daughter.) John Daly mentions that Mathis has requested his $50 be donated to The Heart Fund, one that has special meaning for Mathis and his family. Finally, two Brooklyn men, Don Stewart and Carl Marlow, have fun with the panel, but time is short, and Daly discloses that they hold cue cards for Perry Como during his hugely popular variety hour, which airs from an NBC studio each week from .. Brooklyn. Daly announces that Bennett Cerf will return for next Sunday's broadcast.
