My Uncle Hymie Schertzer played for Benny for many years and was the go to guy to deal with Benny. My Uncle got the Ray only once but it was deserved as my Uncle Hy just made it back from a wedding to get to the studio for a coast to coast broadcast ,he had 1 drink too many & blew an extfa note on his sax, hence the Ray. Benny was sweet to me as I was growing up.

@@Retroscoop Both of these women had very active social lives that did often involve people with whom they did business. They needed ball gowns and cocktail dresses to keep up with the lifestyle in the lofty reaches of their fame and talent. Since they did wear dresses and jewelry more than once or twice on the show and I have read about Arlene's getting fine things from her husband and Dorothy needing to keep up with the Astors, as it were, in terms of her jewels et al, I am guessing these were personal purchases. Now the stores at which they purchased such were like Bonwit Teller that had an exalted clientele and may have given them discounts. They would have been advertised had they been given to them for the show. CBS/Goodson-Todman were not that generous, though they had good salaries for a half hour's work. They often went out to fancy food joints after the show, so the style of dress might be required. However, having worn them on the show with a filmic record of same, they were then costumes needed for work and could be deducted from their income taxes as a cost of doing business.

It was indeed a very awkward exchange, one that might be explained by looking at the historical context in which it took place: the Cold War was at its apogee in the late 1950s and the competition between the Soviet Union and the United States was fierce…the practice of one-up man ship prevailed in all areas of life, so it probably galled Mr. Daly when Benny Goodman failed to heap encomiums on the U.S. exhibit at the World’s Fair.

No, none of these people were ever on WML. Al Capone was dead before WML even debuted. Besides, they'd never have had a notorious gangster like Capone or Luciano on a hyper-classy program like WML. Unthinkable. Keith Moon, too, was not the sort of figure they'd have had on WML-- he was too "rock" based, and WML hardly went near even rock and roll performers. Gene Krupa could have been a mystery guest, I could see that possibility-- he was the right age, at the right time in his career, and WML had plenty of jazz musicians on. But unfortunately he never was on the show.

@@ahero4094 possibly, but during that time (1950's) there was a huge scandal involving the cheating in games shows where the producers would give the answer to the questions so that the contestants would neatly rap up the show in the given 1/2 hr period. Also they took polls and found out that ratings were higher when contestants won. I mean would you wanna watch a show where the players kept losing all the time? it's fun to watch someone win

@@spactick WML was never a part of the quiz show scandals. There would have been no point to it. There was no real money involved. Celebrity guests were paid scale and after awhile regular guests all got $50 regardless of the score. Also, half the fun of the show was seeing the panel get puzzled. You have to remember that the panelists were not random joes taken of a 21st century street. They were professional entertainers who socialized with and made it their business to know the other professional entertainers of their day, and who were well practiced at asking simple questions to narrow down which field of entertainment their guest worked in. Many of the mystery guests were personally known to the panelists. Also, Benny Goodman was HUGE in his time. His voice would have been pretty well know to their generation, and he wasn't disguising it all that well. And as Arlene said, she had only recently seen him perform, so he would have been on her mind. Finally, as A Hero says, they kept track of who was in town, and the panelists discussed among themselves who they thought the upcoming guest might be. But they were never given a tip by the show's management.

I wouldn't doubt that sometimes they could hear the name,or something that gave it away being said in the crowd.
