The vehicle was CBS-TV's "What's My Line" program. Hagerty appeared as a panelist along wjth Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis and her husband, Martin Gable. Their chore was to determine the occupation of three Irishmen, Muldoon, McCarthy and McDonough. Hagerty, also an Irishman, helped fellow panelists ask questions that eventually revealed the trio from Archibald, Ohio, to be manufacturers of Chinese food. A program, spokesman said Hagerty "performed notably" in his seldom-used role of asking; questions.

"I don't All I know is Fred Henderson will request that indictments be returned against two men now in custody and two others being sought. One of the men being hunted, Jbkis'ch said, is 44-year-old Louis Gerald Spivak, who was employed by Melchior as a butler about 10 years ago. The lieutenant said the other wanted man is Richard McFall, 3S, an ex-convict. Police last Friday announces they had arrested two men and recovered all but $11,100 worth of the loot.

For three nights before the. show I got virtually no sleep. I work around the clock and have in mind 250 camera positions, so I know where the camera is at all times." Every Letter Examined After his extended rest, he studied the reviews and the mail. Every letter from fans is examined and the consensus is weighed. The fan reaction told Jerry what he had already suspected: that the hit of the show was the "Sonny Boy" routine with son Gary and father Danny.

On the Thursday following the show, Jerry held a meeting with the production personnel. The kinescope was run and every feature was analyzed, often with the footage stopped and rerun. The purpose of the session was to iron out technical flaws for the next show.
