fishing hat. The woman will put her hat on and do something while the man, when he finds his hat, will just talk through it.” Thunderous ap¬ plause. Eloise, on a man who refuses to get married though engaged John Henry Faulk, for three years: “I’d tell him to get married or get lost.” On dating: “Remember, be charming, be intelligent and be careful” Her definition of a gentleman: “One who will make your mother say, ‘Was he the one you met in church?’ ” Christmas party?” or “Who is better in an emergency—a man or a woman?” Eloise McElhone, an incessant chat¬ terer and one of the three regular members of the show along with Mag- gi McNellis and John Henry Faulk, was responsible for most of the planks in the panel’s anti-male platform. Eloise is Miss Rountree’s discovery. Martha knew her as a veritable tower of babble and was therefore somewhat shocked to find Eloise pulling the Sphinx act her first three appearances. After that she apparently decided that TV was no different from a ladies’ bridge social and, in the words of Miss Rountree, “hasn’t stopped talking since.” In the interests of future historians in search of pertinent social commen¬ tary from our age, we have set down some of the wiser sayings of Leave It to the Girls panelists, with Eloise, as always, having the most to say. These opinions, we must point out, are those of the panelists and very probably not those of women in general. Value Of A Man Miss McElhone, in defense of a wo¬ man’s right to do all the talking in a phone conversation: “It’s my dime. What a man has to say isn’t worth 10 cents.” Eloise, on the subject of wife sup¬ porting husband: “V^en a woman has to bring home the bacon, it’s pretty obvious that she’s coming home to a pretty bad egg.” Florence Pritchett, who turns up fairly often on the panel, discoursed thusly on men vs. women in emer¬ gencies: “It’s the woman who saves the day in history’s great moments. Men create emergencies. Women straighten them out. In a fire, you’ll see a woman trying to save the chil¬ dren. The man will be looking for his One defenseless male: Phil Silvers is sur¬ rounded by panel members, including left to right, Maggi McNellis, Sloan Simp¬ son, Eloise McElhone and Vanessa Brown. Views On Own .Sex On the fact that women thus far have not accomplished much as his¬ torical figures: “Women have been too busy so far inflating the male ego. Now they’re starting to move.” On the suggestion that a woman being exe¬ cuted would still be sure she was made up properly: “A woman cares enough how she looks to pretty up even before she dies.” And, as our final pearl: “A man likes to be a wo¬ man’s first love. A woman likes to be a man’s first romance.” Isn’t it all too cynical? With Leave It to the Girls leaving, it might be assumed that the panel¬ ists will now have to go out and get work. However, there will be no prob¬ lems along that line. Most of the panelists are successful career women and the rest are married to well-to-do (excuse the expression) men. If for nothing else. Girls will be of histor¬ ical value to TV as the Number One launcher of TV careers for women. Among those who first appeared via Girls are Dorothy Kilgallen, Faye Emerson, Betty Furness, Robin Chandler and Harriet Van Home. 23
