00:00Presenting Herb Schreiner in the brand-new comedy quiz, Two for the Money.
00:21And now the star of our show, that fellow from Indiana, here he is, Herb Schreiner.
00:30Hello.
00:41Well, I thought I'd come out, just kill a couple of minutes until we're ready to play our game.
00:46I haven't got anything much to talk about.
00:49I haven't been following the election news, the speeches this week very much.
00:54I don't know.
00:55I did read that President Truman said he wasn't leaving Washington.
01:00I don't know what he figures there, unless maybe he figures the way the candidates have been going at each other, that neither one of them will get in.
01:07But I haven't paid much attention this week.
01:09I read a couple of speeches, but I went to the movies.
01:12I thought I'd sort of ease off a little bit.
01:15I went to see the Cinerama.
01:16That's that new movie there where they have three dimensions, and they show it on a big curved screen.
01:23It's very good, very good to watch.
01:26They don't have any girls much in it yet, just mostly scenery.
01:30They're afraid they might get the curves in the wrong places.
01:33They're kind of new at it.
01:34But it was wonderful to watch.
01:36It made me kind of homesick.
01:38I got to thinking about how far the movies have progressed in the last few years, since they used to be all dim and jerky, you know.
01:45And it seemed like only yesterday since they were that way.
01:49In fact, it was yesterday.
01:50They had a movie on last night like that on TV there.
01:54But at home, we didn't have very much movies.
01:58We had a very small theater.
01:59We had a little bitty theater there at home.
02:01It was sort of, oh, I don't know.
02:03It wasn't like the Roxy, I wouldn't say.
02:05It was on the order of the palace, I guess.
02:08Sort of a, well, it was a condemned tattoo parlor.
02:10But it was.
02:14Us kids used to keep that place going, though.
02:16I'll tell you that.
02:17We was the mainstay.
02:19We used to sneak in there every Saturday.
02:21We really kept it going.
02:22And, in fact, I was about 10 years old before I realized they had a front door.
02:28And the pictures were never particularly good.
02:31I mean, it was a nice little theater, though, always warm in the winter.
02:34We had a big old stove in the aisle.
02:36Right down the front there where the kids sat.
02:39And it was kind of a nice warm there.
02:42It was a nice aroma of licorice and burning galoshes.
02:45It was sort of a friendly feeling there.
02:49Didn't have any sign on front either.
02:51Half the time, you didn't even know what was showing there.
02:52It was just a case.
02:53They'd just scratch it on the sidewalk with a piece of chalk.
02:56They'd write it down there.
02:58And then if you didn't like the picture, you could rub it out with your foot as you was leaving.
03:01You know, it was pretty good.
03:03The fellow who owned the theater, I don't know, he was a smart fellow.
03:06He'd been around town there quite a bit.
03:08He used to be an undertaker.
03:10He had the only funeral parlor with a layaway plan.
03:16Quite a bit out of it.
03:17He built this theater.
03:18And he was always sorry that the theater didn't go over better.
03:21And then he thought he'd put a drive-in movie up.
03:23And he opened up one of them.
03:24Didn't go over too good either.
03:26I mean, people around there, they wouldn't buy a car just to go to the movies.
03:29You know, it was not bad.
03:32And a lot of times, if you would go to the show, you'd be in your car there, there'd be a horse parked in front of you.
03:39And I don't know, you couldn't see over the horse a lot of times.
03:42And it was no fun to go, and I don't know.
03:44But anyways, movies have progressed a lot.
03:48I tell you, we used to have the old, old balcony upstairs there.
03:50And we'd be sitting up there with our girl for two or three hours.
03:54And then we'd, later in the evening, we'd go downstairs and watch the picture, of course.
04:00But it was something to think back to.
04:01It makes me homesick.
04:02But go see the Cinerama.
04:04I think you'll enjoy it.
04:06We're going to give away our money now.
04:07We're all set to go.
04:08We've got a fellow here that helps us pick out our questions.
04:11I know you're anxious to see the folks win.
04:13And whoever's fellow that helps us with our answers, make sure they're correct,
04:17I'd like to have you meet him.
04:17He's Dr. Mason Gross.
04:19Doctor?
04:20Doctor, we're all ready to go.
04:28Let's see who Ken Williams has from our studio audience to play Two for the Money.
04:38Herb, I want you to meet our first two contestants from the studio audience to play Two for the Money.
04:42This is Mr. Larry Cronrott, a furrier, and Miss Adele Kelsey, who works in a reducing salon.
04:47How do you do?
04:48I'd like to know you folks.
04:49I have a carton of old bowls, a souvenir from us.
04:52Hope you enjoy them.
04:53I hope you make a lot of money tonight.
04:55We'd like to talk to you for a second to kind of loosen up your nerves a little bit.
04:59Miss Kelsey, you nervous?
05:00Yeah.
05:00Are you?
05:01You work in a reducing place, is that right?
05:03Yes, I reduce.
05:05I teach exercises to overweight women.
05:06You do?
05:07Teach them all these exercises.
05:09What's the biggest woman you ever had up there to reduce?
05:13Well, one day a lady came in and she said she weighed 350 pounds.
05:18350 pounds?
05:19Uh-huh.
05:20Boy, she could have been calling from a phone booth or anything when she called you up.
05:23Did she?
05:23She was really, 350 pounds, is that the truth?
05:27That's right.
05:27My goodness.
05:28When she came in, we put her on the scale and she said it was 400 then.
05:32She must have stopped off to eat something on the way probably.
05:35A Sunday or something.
05:37400 pounds.
05:38Boy, that is really kind of heavy in it.
05:40I mean, she must have been taller sitting down than she was standing up before you got
05:43her reduced there.
05:45But how old was she?
05:49She was in her 20s.
05:51Oh, well, probably baby fat.
05:56I don't know about that stuff, but I mean, it was, but tell me, what kind of, how do you
06:00get the fat off the folks up there?
06:01Do you massage them there or run them around or?
06:05Well, we have assages and then we have machines.
06:08We have rollers and we have a vibratory belt and we have barrels.
06:13Barrels?
06:13Yeah.
06:14Do you get that much off of them, actually?
06:18You don't reduce them, you render them, don't you?
06:21Well, I'll tell you, I imagine ladies feel better, though, after they lose a little weight
06:25usually, don't they?
06:26They do.
06:27They feel better and they look better.
06:28It takes the wrinkles off their faces, too.
06:30Does it?
06:31It does.
06:32Put them down where they won't be noticed.
06:33It's some interesting business up there, but I guess I'd better speak to Mr. Cronrod
06:40here for a minute.
06:40Tell us a little bit about your work.
06:42What do you do?
06:43Well, I manufacture fur coats, sell them, make from a rabbit to a mink.
06:49That's pretty good.
06:50What are you getting for mink coats these days?
06:52I mean, just in case my wife ever asks, you know.
06:55Well, from $2,000 up to $8,000.
06:58Oh, that's a lot of money there.
06:59What makes them cost so much?
07:01I often wonder that.
07:02Well, to make a good mink coat, you've got to use at least about 70 skins.
07:07Does that include the husbands, too?
07:1170 skins, my goodness.
07:12Well, after you get these skins, how do you, what do you put them together with?
07:15Just sort of sew them together and that's...
07:17No, that's...
07:18That's easy.
07:18Well, there's more than that to it.
07:20I bet you.
07:22First of all, there's a difference between the female minks and the male minks.
07:27That's a good thing.
07:31What is the difference?
07:32I look kind of dumb here asking.
07:34Well, the female minks are generally shorter.
07:38Oh.
07:38And the male mink skins are longer.
07:40I see.
07:41Usually, we make up the sleeves with the female skins and the body of the garment with the
07:46male skins.
07:48As long as you've got them all working there, well, that's all right.
07:50It's all busy.
07:52Well, I tell you, I was often wondering.
07:54You know, a lot of these girls want a mink coat and I was wondering, how does an average
07:57girl know whether she's getting a genuine mink coat or whether they're just wasting their
08:01time or something?
08:01Well, according to law, every garment, every skin has to be properly labeled.
08:07Hmm.
08:07I see.
08:08Oh, that's not bad.
08:09We better stop talking about it, though.
08:10I tell you, we're making the men in the audience nervous.
08:13Mink coat talk here.
08:14We ought to play the game.
08:15Maybe you folks will win the price of a mink coat.
08:18So, we'll start on.
08:19Doctor, would you explain how we play two for the money?
08:21Thank you, Mr. Schreiner.
08:22The game is really very simple.
08:24The contestants will have a total of three questions.
08:26Each question has many possible answers and they get paid for each correct answer that
08:30they can squeeze into a 15-second period.
08:32Now, they have to take turns and, of course, you can only give one answer at a time.
08:36If by any chance they make a mistake or repeat themselves, then I'll interrupt with this buzzer.
08:42And, of course, that's all there is to that round.
08:45Now, Mr. Schreiner, this first question has answers worth $5 an answer.
08:51And I think this is a pretty good one to start off with.
08:53Let's try that one out here.
08:54Well, who'd like to start off with this round?
08:56I will.
08:57He will start off.
08:58All right, Mr. Cronrod will start.
09:00It's $5 for every answer.
09:01When the bell sounds, name as many precious or semi-precious stones as you can that are used in jewelry.
09:09Ready?
09:10Topaz.
09:11Pearl.
09:12Emerald.
09:12Diamond.
09:13Uh, garnet.
09:17Right.
09:17I think it's a thing.
09:20One more.
09:20Come on, squeeze out another one.
09:21Uh, anethyst.
09:24Uh, that's all.
09:25Can you think of one more?
09:26I don't think you got on.
09:28You have seven correct answers at $5 each, so that in the next round, every correct answer
09:33will be worth $35.
09:43Nice to know a girl who can't remember so many valuable stones, you know.
09:46You haven't had any trouble getting a husband.
09:49Uh, well, we've got $25 for every correct answer on this round, and we'd like to have
09:53you name as many American colleges or universities as you can that start with the letter P.
10:00All right, ready?
10:01Princeton.
10:02Pennsylvania.
10:03Paducah.
10:04Pitt.
10:07All right, keep going.
10:09$25 a piece.
10:11Throw one in.
10:17Purdue.
10:17You have four correct answers at $35 each, so that in the final round, every correct
10:24answer will be worth $140.
10:30Very good.
10:32That'll ask me.
10:33You just squeezed that one through there, but that's worth $25.
10:36Now, this is for $140 for every correct answer.
10:40When the bell sounds, name as many as you can of the various territories and possessions
10:46of the United States.
10:47Ready?
10:48Puerto Rico.
10:49Guayana.
10:51Alaska.
10:52Cuba.
10:54Oh, doctor, what happened there?
10:55I'm sorry.
10:56Cuba's quite an independent country.
10:58We don't have any control over it at all.
10:59Oh, we don't.
11:00Even for $140, we don't have any, huh?
11:03Well, all right.
11:04How'd we do, Ken?
11:06You have three correct answers at $140 each, giving you a grand total on our old gold scoreboard
11:12of $420.
11:25Now, let's see.
11:26We've got to play two for the money from the studio audience.
11:35Herb, I want you to meet our next two contestants from the studio audience to play two for the
11:38money.
11:39This is Miss Marie Collier, who's a visitor from England, and Sergeant Joseph Manalito of
11:44the United States Army.
11:45Thanks, Ken.
11:46I do, folks.
11:47I'd like to have you have a carton of old gold.
11:50Sergeant?
11:52Well, I'm going to loosen you up a little bit here.
11:55Don't be nervous.
11:55Now, we're going to really make some money tonight.
11:57We got off the $400 and some dollars there in the first round.
12:00Sergeant Manalito, I'll say hello here for a second to you.
12:03What do you do in the Army, Sergeant?
12:04I'm a cook.
12:05Are you?
12:06Yes.
12:06You don't mind admitting it?
12:08No, sir.
12:10That's great.
12:10How long have you been getting away with this, Sergeant?
12:12Oh, about nine years.
12:13Nine years of cooking over there.
12:15It's a long time for an Army cook to last.
12:17I know we had two cooks in our outfit.
12:20We lost two of them.
12:23Died from overeating.
12:24Both of them.
12:26Are they still serving the same chow in the service they did when I was in there?
12:30Yes.
12:30Very much so.
12:31They really are, huh?
12:32Yes.
12:32I figured they would be.
12:33They had an awful lot of it left when I got out.
12:35That's it.
12:38Sergeant, you got any of your own little specialties?
12:41I mean, little stuff that you fix up?
12:42I mean, little delicacies of your own.
12:44I know our old Sergeant, he used to have a lot of nice little delicacies of his own.
12:49He had, well, we had mashed fish.
12:51He used to fix that quite often.
12:52And we had, uh, suet casserole was another nice one there.
12:59You got anything that you whip up your own like that?
13:01You don't get your stuff out of the field manual, do you?
13:04No, I got my own recipes.
13:06And, uh, I make the food as tasty as I can for the boys.
13:10You do?
13:10That's good.
13:11Our food was tasty, all right.
13:12Our Sergeant gave us a tasty meal.
13:14I'm out seven years now.
13:15Now I can still taste it.
13:20Sergeant, tell me something about the meal times.
13:22I've been out now about five, six years.
13:24And, uh, I was wondering, do you still serve breakfast so darn early in the morning?
13:28We used to get it there.
13:29It was dark yet.
13:30No, as a matter of fact, uh, we serve breakfast on Sunday and holidays from 9 to 12.
13:36You do, huh?
13:37That's great.
13:38That's kind of a brunch there, like, isn't it?
13:40We had, uh, we called ours a sort of brunch, anyway.
13:44We used to get ours on Sunday around.
13:46It wasn't exactly a brunch.
13:47We'd call it slunch.
13:48I mean, that's sort of a combination of slop and lunch.
13:52We used to...
13:53But, anyways, makes me homesick.
13:58Brings a lump to my throat I'd better pass on here now and talk to, uh, Sergeant.
14:02Just, if you want to make yourself comfortable for a second, we'll talk to Miss Collier.
14:05Now, you're visiting from England, is that right?
14:07Yes, that's right.
14:07How long have you been over here?
14:09Uh, since January.
14:10Mm-hmm.
14:10Eight months.
14:11What do you like the most?
14:12What do you find the most interesting here?
14:14I think it's the subway system.
14:15It's a little different to ours.
14:17Is it?
14:17Yes.
14:18How's it different?
14:19Well, um, in England, we get pay according to the distance we travel.
14:23Well, in America, you put in a dime and you go as far as you like.
14:27Uh-huh.
14:28All these fellas have been going too far, I'll tell you that.
14:32But, uh, what does the government do?
14:34Do they have the subways over there?
14:36Yes, it's government-owned.
14:37Government-owned.
14:38Government-owned.
14:38It's the same as the minds and the radio and the doctors.
14:42They're under socialized medicine now.
14:44Mm-hmm.
14:44The doctors are in socialized medicine?
14:46Yeah.
14:46Yeah.
14:47I don't know much about that myself.
14:48Well, the doctors want to get friendly.
14:50I think they ought to do it on their own time, though, I'll tell you that.
14:52Well, it's a nice idea, I expect.
14:55I don't know much about it.
14:56Do you have to, uh, when you have socialized medicine like that, do you have to, uh, work
15:00out a certain special things you can get?
15:02I mean, you have a list of things you can get sick on and they'll, uh...
15:04Anything that's necessary you can get.
15:06You can, huh?
15:07One of our neighbors, she got herself a wig.
15:11No kidding?
15:11And false teeth when her husband got eyeglasses.
15:14Is that right?
15:14That's right.
15:15You wouldn't think he'd want eyeglasses if she wore a wig and false teeth, wouldn't you?
15:21I don't know much about it, though.
15:23I'll tell you.
15:23Well, how do you, how do you pay for socialized medicine anyway?
15:26It's conducted weekly out of your taxes.
15:28It is, huh?
15:28Yes.
15:29What happens if you're getting an operation like having your appendix took out and they
15:33find out you're behind in your taxes?
15:35What do they do?
15:35Do they grab out something else and hold it till you pay up or what?
15:38I don't know.
15:39I don't know either, huh?
15:41Well, anyways, it's probably interesting and it'd be worth covering, but we want you to
15:44make some money.
15:45In fact, I think we ought to start to play two for the money.
15:48And, uh, doctor, you got the first round ready?
15:50Yes, that's a good question, Herb, and every answer, of course, is worth five dollars.
15:53Fine.
15:53Let's see what the first one is here.
15:55Who'd like to start off?
15:56I thought.
15:57Would you?
15:57Yeah.
15:57All right.
15:58Well, this is for five dollars for every correct answer.
16:02When the bell sounds, name as many different games played with playing cards as you can.
16:08Ready?
16:08Ready.
16:09Homemade.
16:11Homemade.
16:12Poker.
16:14Um, painting.
16:17Drumming.
16:17Good.
16:18Uh, go fish.
16:21Pinochle.
16:22Uh, physique.
16:25Pinochle.
16:26Oh, oh, oh.
16:27Oh, we're going to have Pinochle once, I'm afraid.
16:28Oh, one Pinochle.
16:29Well, you get Pinochle more than once in the Army, but, uh, well, how do we do, Ken?
16:34You have seven correct answers at five dollars each, so that in the next round, every correct
16:39answer will be worth thirty-five dollars.
16:41All right, fine, fine, good start.
16:44Let me walk the ground here now.
16:46Thanks, Doc.
16:47Well, this is for thirty-five dollars now, so, uh, there are a great many words in the
16:53English language which mean small, or the same as small.
16:56So, when the bell sounds, name as many of these words as you can.
17:01Ready?
17:02Pinochle.
17:04Tiny.
17:06Little.
17:07Uh, itsy-booty.
17:13Oui.
17:14You have six correct answers at thirty-five dollars each, so that in the final round,
17:25every correct answer will be worth two hundred ten dollars.
17:29You have a cook in here.
17:34Let's see that next question, Doctor.
17:36For two hundred and ten dollars, every correct answer.
17:40You're not nervous?
17:41No, not much.
17:43All right, so when the bell sounds, name as many as you can of the different cities where
17:49the Olympic Games have been held.
17:52Ready?
17:54Um, London.
17:55Helsinki.
17:57Um, New York.
17:59Oh.
18:01I'm sorry, they've never been held in New York City.
18:04Oh, gee whiz, I imagine that.
18:05Well, how much do we make, Ken?
18:08You have two correct answers at two hundred ten dollars each, giving you a grand total on
18:12our old gold scoreboard of...
18:14Four hundred twenty dollars!
18:17Well, let's see who we have now, from Ken Williams, to play two for the money.
18:37Herb, we have two more nice people from the studio audience to play two for the money.
18:40This is Mr. Claude Haycock of Thomasville, North Carolina, and Ms. Florence Chapman, a high
18:45school speech instructor from Haverhill, Massachusetts.
18:49Thanks, Ken.
18:50Welcome to two for the money.
18:51Have a carton of old gold, folks.
18:53A little souvenir from us.
18:55And the other folks have almost tied each other here, so we've got to really make some money.
18:59This is our last round, our last set.
19:02And, Ms. Chapman, just to relax for a minute, you're a speech instructor?
19:06Yes.
19:07Right?
19:07What kind of stuff do you teach in a course like that?
19:10I mean, anything that I ought to take up?
19:13Well, we have diction, poise, posture, how to start a conversation.
19:19Uh-huh.
19:19Is that a regular thing in high school there now, how to teach you how to get a conversation
19:23going?
19:24Well, I thought I'd put it in.
19:25I'd like to help the boys and girls get together.
19:28Uh-huh.
19:29Yeah, but if you'd just left the classroom, they'd have thought of that.
19:33It's a nice idea, though.
19:34I'll tell you, how long does it take a fellow to take one of your courses before he really
19:38kind of gets the idea of how to get acquainted with a girl?
19:40I mean, conversation.
19:41Well, the course lasts a year.
19:43Uh-huh.
19:44Gee, it'd be a bit quicker to teach him to whistle, wouldn't it?
19:48Back home, we didn't need any course like that.
19:50We used to just have a red Chevy with a rumble seat and get acquainted awful fast there.
19:55But it's a, I don't know, this, uh, it's interesting to me, though.
19:59What else do the students get in one of your courses there, in your speech course?
20:03Well, we teach them all sorts of things, but, uh, one of the things this year is how
20:07to start a political speech.
20:09Oh, boy.
20:10You don't teach them how to stop one of them, do you?
20:12No.
20:13That's what we're waiting for.
20:14How long have you been teaching?
20:15Well, this is my fourth year.
20:17I, uh, started when I was, uh, 21.
20:20In fact, my first year, I had a pupil who was even older than I am.
20:23He was, uh, 22 then.
20:2522?
20:25Is that a fact?
20:26We had a kid in school like that.
20:27He was, uh, oh, he was 20 years old.
20:29He was still in the sixth grade.
20:31Did your pupil ever graduate?
20:32Oh, yes.
20:33He graduated.
20:34Ours never did.
20:35That fellow stayed in there and stayed in that school.
20:37He's a janitor now.
20:40Get him out.
20:41Mr. Hathcock, tell us a little bit about yourself.
20:43You're from North Carolina.
20:44Is that right?
20:45What are you doing up here in New York?
20:47Wife and I on a honeymoon.
20:49Are you?
20:50How long have you been married?
20:51Six years.
20:51You talked her out of that trip for a long time there, didn't you?
20:58That's kind of interesting.
20:59How'd you happen to catch up with each other?
21:00How'd you get acquainted?
21:01Well, I met her at her work.
21:03She had a job there?
21:05Yes, sir.
21:05I don't blame you for putting off that honeymoon there.
21:07I didn't take her off the job myself.
21:10But it's interesting, though, and I'll tell you, we want you to make a lot of money,
21:13so I'm not going to take any more of your time talking,
21:15but I want the doctor to give us the first round,
21:17and that'll let us know how good we're going to do.
21:19Doctor, you got something?
21:20Yes, sir, here's the first question for $5 an answer.

22:22like the franc, and so forth.

22:53every correct answer will be worth $100.
22:57I like it.
23:00Well, Doctor, let's see what we've got ready for this last one here.
23:05Now, this is $100 apiece.
23:07You know, if you get 15 of them,

23:14who have been elected president of the United States.
