But George Fiala and Bill Herman seldom get more than 15 minutes to put on those intricate disguises that mask the identity of guests on ABC’s Masquerade Party. So Fiala, one-time paratrooper, and Herman, former detective, have evolved their own sys¬ tem of constructing their facial disguises. Working from pictures of the guests in their Greenwich Village studio, they use basic head shapes to model the phony noses, ears, chins and whiskers of the disguises. Comes Wednes¬ day night and they cart their material over to the Masquerade Party studio in numbered boxes. And as soon as each guest arrives, Fiala and Herman, who may have spent 15 hours on one disguise, are ready to slap on the para¬ phernalia.
