KUHNLY, roulette. Betting quite heavily at the dice table is uranium mine owner WILLIAM KLEINSCHMIDT, who this evening is escorting the internationally known play-girl and race-horse owner, THELMA DAVIS. Assisting him in placing his bets is the noted female mathematician JEAN ZUK. At DeVivo’s table we see FRAN RIO, that paragon of children's virtues and writer of the answer to Mother Goose Rhymes — Father's Goose is Cooked. Betting the number zero is PAUL “Pauncho” HENRIQUES, Mexican jumping bean grower. He is being encouraged by Hackie JACKIE DAIGLE, the American Women's Golf Champion. Trying to sell them a cigar-making do-it-yourself kit is cigarette girl CAROL CZERWINSKI. Word has just been received from state officials that PAT WARD who is being investigated regarding irregularities in her mail-order Lonely Hearts Club is in town. Close on her trail is F.B.I. under-cover woman IRENE AUBIN and her gun carrier ROBERTA STURTEVANT. Story has it they are heading for the Paladium. Yes, here they come. Charlie has been told of their arrival, but he is in conference with pin-ball machine saleswoman, NANCY DORAN. He has appointed his official hostess LORETTA LENOIS to greet them. Bartender, JEAN PERKINS, rushes the refreshments to the newly arrived guests just as the curtain is pulled by BOB VERONESI for the floor show. The lights dim—we see the band members stumble into place. Among the familiar faces are DICK POTASH, the second Bobby Hackett, WALT LUND, saxophonist, MARVA SLEPSKI on the musical glasses, MARY ANN BURRELL on the ukulele and JANICE TREECE on the saw. The first selection sounds like an interpretation of Mayrzy Dotz with PHYLLIS ROMEGIALLI, torch singer, taking the vocal. As the evening progresses splendidly so does the entertainment with a most unusual rendition of Eartha Kitt and Fats Domino bv BARBARA LARSON and BOB JOHNSON. Mistress of ceremonies EI.I.I PETERSON is now announcing the dance routine of the chorus line with solos by NANCY DUTKIEWICZ and BOB ALBERT. A list of the chorus members has just been handed to us. Many well known names are present: DELORES KAMINSKI. MARY ANN MOGULISKI and WALLY LUNDSTROM. Here, too, credit must be given to STAN BAKAJ for his magnificent, different wardrobing work. The show is drawing to a close, but before it does one last personal appearance, the crown holders, Miss America—BEA HILTPOLD and muscle-man Mr. Universe—LEE GRANT. But what's this? There appears to be some sort of trouble brewing in the street. We switch you to RON SEABURG on the outside. What started as a friendly conversation has turned into a brawl between profootball star BOB McCANN, and the assistant to the assistant football coach EDNA LAISCELL. We can’t seem to get close enough to determine the cause of this dispute. ANN LUBY local brawl disperser is trying her best to quiet down the hassle with little success. JAN THORAN, visiting African missionary nurse, is here with Dr. BETTY KUNDE, personal physician to Albert Schwietzer. Nurse Thoran is lugging Dr. Kunde's big green bag behind her in case of any emergency. Bouncer Welz has just come through the swinging doors of the Paladium with a club and the fight has been stopped. Energetic and enthusiastic patrons of Charlie's are clearing the streets while at the same time the vice squad is closing Champaigne Charlie’s Paladium— forever— That’s all for tonight, folks. We now switch you back to the studio and SANDY ZIEL, your host for this year. This is Blushing Sandy Ziel. Remember, folks, you never can go wrong with a Rold’s-67. It's the self-steering that counts. When the roll is called up yonder— YOU WILL BE THERE!”
