This is the BEST WML show EVER!!!! I laughed until I cried!

[@lissettesbloom8223]

Nice to see them welcome the guest from Puerto Rico. She actually looked like my grandmother when she was young.

[@neilphelan145]

Listening to them play that tune brought a tear of joy to my eyes because of wonderful childhood memories.

Arlene and Dorothy had class brain beauty compassion and wit

This is the only time I've ever seen guests on the old "What's My Line?" perform. It was beautiful. The Salvation Army band consisted of two married couples. At least at one time, I believe members of the Salvation Army were only permitted to be married to other members.

$200 was a substantial sum to give to the Salvation Army. In 1955 you could fill your gas tank for $5.

According to the information I was able to find, this show aired on Dec. 25, 1955 or thereabouts. Dec. 25 fell on Sunday that year but can't say for sure if this is when it aired.

The Remington Rand commercial was an absolute riot to watch, given that I'm seeing this in June of 2024! You just wonder how we were able to ever evolve into anything grander than what was displayed in that 1950s commercial-- without the electric typewriters and that $5,832,371.41 giant computer monstrosity anchored against an entire wall!

More Salvation Army on T V - please.

[@daler.steffy1047]

Okay, just one more comment: It clearly shows you what kind of budget this program works off of when they can't even afford to have, or "locate," a fifth chair for the guest panelist from Puerto Rico who joined them in an impromptu moment!

Hark the Hearld angels Sing - try singing pr playing that on TV today

What a time of purity and respect for God

[@daler.steffy1047]

Isn't that so true! Having been born in 1948, I've witnessed, along with my contemporaries, a lot of transitions in social behaviors, which include how we seem to continue losing our sense of purpose and our personal and collective spirituality in our lives. I really loved your comment here and you're willingness to post it. Thank you.

[@stephanieperry1119]

Are any of the band members on show that night still living?

[@peternagy-im4be]

God knows.

[@keithhyttinen8275]

The mystery guests. No idea who they are. Their "fame" must have been a 50's thing.

ELOCUTION! NOT SHUSHAN!

[@daler.steffy1047]

As a child growing up during the 1950s, you get exposed to certain behaviors that are socially acceptable for that time period, and therefore, you often learn to embrace them in various ways/places. But now, in 2024, after becoming "reacquainted" with aspects of that decade while looking at a number of these "What's My Line" programs on video, I'm bothered by when "beautiful" women come onto the show as contestants, they are whistle at (et al.) by audience members and are often "seductively" commented on by the panelists. These are behaviors that seem a bit unnerving to me--and inappropriate, and this is coming from a guy born in 1948. Also, I don't think that Fred Allen's comments are always appropriate; at times, they can be a "little too audacious," which can occasionally translate into a kind of rude rhetoric (however one wishes to view it...). This is just an observation after watching him on a number of these videos.

[@daler.steffy1047]

Also (as if I haven't said enough already), I think Arlene Francis is an underrated comedienne. She is just naturally funny, having absolutely perfect timing and a great wit. I really appreciate her!
