Mike Stokey's sign means 'quote:' Dorothy Hart's hand-at-throat identifies 'gag saying. But he believes that everybody can enjoy playing Pantomime Quiz at home, particularly with the aid of the “Simple Six” gestures, which are demonstrated by Dorothy Hart in the accompanying pictures. For best results at home, Stokey suggests having three players on each team. He says it’s important to line up the “stumpers” in advance, to avoid long waits while each team thinks up phrases. M ike stokey, whose Pantomime Quiz show recently moved from Hollywood to New York, probably has taught more people to play char¬ ades than any man in history, even though the game is centuries old. Through the magic of television and the glamor of Hollywood and Broad¬ way stars, Mike has turned the parlor game of acting out proverbs, songs and titles into an entertaining half- hour show. 8
