We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
who's who on
The girl who feels the muscles of all contestants on What's My Line — to determine their trades — is a pretty difficult person to figure, herself. She looks like a glamour girl but, in reality, Dorothy Kilgallen is a woman with brains and the ability to put those brains to work. One of the foremost women in the field of journalism, Dot has managed to remain a completely feminine girl in the masculine world of newsprint and headlines, and she's admired for it. Beautifully dressed and soft-spoken, Dorothy loves to dance and nightclub. And, even though she and her actor-producer husband, Dick Kollmar, often get to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, Dorothy's as fresh as a daisy for their local early-morning program. The Kollmars broadcast Breakfast With Dorothy and Dick from their own apartment, and their two children often "guest."
[Jxjblisher, anthologist, lecturer — ■ and more recently, TV star — is Bennett Cerf, who sits right next to Dorothy on What's My Line. President of Modern Library and chief of Random House publishing firms since 1925, Cerf writes a column for the Saturday Review of Literature and has a syndicated column called "Cerfboard." Bennett Alfred Cerf, a native New Yorker, edited the humor magazine, The Jester, at Columbia University. He enlisted in World War I, and then returned at war's end to earn his A.B. and Litt. B. degrees in the School of Journalism at Columbia. Cerf is very well known as a humorist, very well thought of as a person, and very photogenic on TV. He's one of the most genial panelists on What's My Line. Mrs. Cerf is the former Phyllis Fraser. They have two children, Christopher Bennett and Jonathan Fraser.
Glamorous, gracious Arlene Francis sits between Bennett Cerf and Hal Block on the What's My Line panel. Over TV and on the legitimate stage, Miss Francis is a favorite of show folk and audiences alike, because she always seems to enjoy herself and always seems anxious to help others do the same. She was born Arlene Kazanjian in Boston, attended grade school there, and then studied in the Convent of Mount St. Vincent Academy. From there, she went to Finch Finishing School in New York City, and the Theatre Guild Schools. Especially talented as a comedienne, Arlene was successful in such Broadway plays as "All That Glitters," and "The Doughgirls." In the latter, she was riotous as a Russian soldierette. Married to Martin Gabel, Broadway producerdirector, the charming Arlene lives on Park Avenue.
