LUCY THE CLOWN ~ Part 3 of 3

Lucille Ball would do anything for a laugh.  No wig, make-up, or costume was too outrageous, as demonstrated by these screen captures from THE LUCY SHOW. Enjoy!

Storybook Squares (February 1969?)

Storybook Squares was the name given to a special series of episodes of the NBC game show Hollywood Squares. The series featured celebrities dressed up as famous people and characters from history and various forms of media.

Peter Marshall served as host of these episodes. The panelists were introduced by "The Guardian of the Gate", who announced their characters' presence by reading their names from a scroll. The Guardian was played by regular Hollywood Squares announcer Kenny Williams, and the character was similar to his "Town Crier" character from Video Village.

The series ran on NBC on Saturday mornings from January 4 to April 19, 1969, with repeats airing until August 30. The concept was revived during the 1976-77 season as a series of special theme weeks on the daytime Hollywood Squares.

Format On the original edition of Storybook Squares, the game was played in the same manner as the regular game, with celebrities in the squares dressed as storybook and nursery rhyme characters. Two children competed, always boy vs. girl with the boy as X and the girl as Circle. They played as many games as time permitted, with a prize being awarded for each win. No money was awarded; a Secret Square game for the first two games was played, with the setup identical to the 1968 primetime game and first two years of the syndicated version—that is, if the first game's Secret Square was not won, the package was combined with that of the second game, and then after that it was not won.

Panelists The only panelist from the adult show who played as he normally would was Cliff Arquette, who carried his "Charley Weaver" persona over to Storybook Squares. The other panelists played characters from fairy tales and books, historical figures, or in some cases the characters they played on television.

Unlike the parent series, on Storybook Squares each panelist/character was given an elaborate introduction as they entered the set and took their place on the board, allowing for a brief comic interaction with host Marshall as they did so. Some of the celebrities who appeared were:

* Marty Allen as Tarzan and Cupid * Jim Backus as Mr. Magoo (animated character for whom he provided the voice) and Thurston Howell III (his character from Gilligan's Island) * Ted Cassidy as Tarzan * Charo as Isabella * Wally Cox as Paul Revere and Davy Crockett * Bob Crane as Colonel Hogan (his role on Hogan's Heroes) * Abby Dalton as Little Miss Muffet * Barbara Eden as Jeannie (her role on I Dream of Jeannie) * Nanette Fabray as The Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe * Stu Gilliam as Merlin * Arte Johnson as Wolfgang the Nazi from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, referred to herein as the "'Very Interesting' Soldier" * Paul Lynde as Frankenstein's monster and the Evil Queen from Snow White * Paul Winchell as Romeo and Dr. Jekyll (with Tessie Mahoney- Jerry Mahoney in a blond wig- as Juliet and Jerry Mahoney as Mr. Hyde) * Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams (her role on The Addams Family) * Rose Marie as Pocahontas and Annie Oakley * Roy Rogers and Dale Evans * Soupy Sales as Henry VIII and Thomas Edison * William Shatner as James T. Kirk (his character from Star Trek) * Leslie Uggams as Snow White

1976-77 return When the daytime series brought back Storybook Squares, its format was changed slightly. Instead of a two-player match featuring boys playing girls, the matches used a team format with the boys playing with their fathers and grandfathers and the girls with their mothers and grandmothers.

The children played the first game of the match, with the parents playing the second and the grandparents each subsequent game as time permitted. $300 was awarded for each game won, with $50 awarded per square if time was called during a game.

The team with the most money at the end of the game won a large prize, such as a car or exotic vacation.

* Marty Allen as Tarzan * Milton Berle as Old Mother Hubbard * Valerie Bertinelli as Little Miss Muffet * Big Bird (Muppet played by Caroll Spinney) * Hal Smith as Mother Goose * Paul Lynde as Attila the Hun, Frankenstein's monster, The Wicked Witch, Davy Crockett, and Paul Bunyan * William Shatner as Captain Kirk * Elke Sommer as Guinevere * Susan Seaforth Hayes as Eve and Cleopatra * Bill Hayes as Adam and Caesar * Connie Stevens as The Queen of Hearts * Karen Valentine as Mona Lisa * Anson Williams as Simple Simon * Florence Henderson as Belle Starr * Doc Severinsen (with his trumpet) as The Pied Piper and Gabriel * George Gobel as Henry VIII * Vincent Price as Captain Hook * Pat Harrington (Jr.) as Leonardo da Vinci * Rip Taylor as General Custer * Joan Rivers as The Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe * Bonnie Franklin as Goldilocks and Peter Pan * John Byner as Long John Silver * Roddy McDowall as Sherlock Holmes and Pinocchio * Arte Johnson as Beethoven * Jo Ann Worley as Martha Washington * Soupy Sales as Thomas Edison * Rich Little as Noah * Julie McWhirter(-Dees) as Glinda the Good Witch (though referred to as "the Good Fairy") and Dorothy Gale * Charo as Lady Godiva (she wore a sparkly flesh-toned bodysuit rather than appear actually nude)

Lucy and Paul Winchell

S5;E4 ~ October 3, 1966

Synopsis

Lucy convinces ventriloquist Paul Winchell to appear at the Annual Banker's Banquet.  When Winchell is running late, he asks Lucy to stop by and pick up his dummies.  When she accidentally leaves them in a taxi the understudy 'dummy' has to go on – Lucy!  

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney)

Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane Lewis) does not appear in this episode but Lucy does have a phone conversation with her.

Guest Cast

Paul Winchell (Himself) was born Paul Wilchinsky in 1922.  Coming into the public eye in 1948, he became one of the most famous ventriloquists since Edgar Bergen.  He hosted the enormously popular children's television show “Winchell-Mahoney Time” (1964-68) in which he shared the spotlight with Jerry Mahoney, one of his most popular characters. Sadly, in a legal dispute over the syndication rights to the show, all nearly 300 episodes were destroyed.  Winchell is fondly remembered as the voice of Winnie the Pooh's pal Tigger and (later) Papa Smurf. He returns to “The Lucy Show” to play Doc Putnam in two linked episodes, “Main Street U.S.A.” (S5;E17) and “Lucy Puts Main Street on the Map” (S5;18), as well as doing two episodes of “Here's Lucy.” Surprisingly, Winchell was also an inventor who is credited with the artificial heart, among other innovations. He died in 2005.  

Snitchy the Snail appeared with Winchell on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” six months before this “Lucy Show” appearance.

Tessie Mahoney was Jerry's platinum blonde cousin.  She was named after Winchell's wife Tessie Nina Moore.  Many accused Tessie of just being Jerry Mahoney in drag!  Like Winchell, Tessie was from Brooklyn (and sounded it).  

Jerry Mahoney (above left) was 'born' around 1935.  He was Paul Winchell's co-host on “Winchell-Mahoney Time.”  Jerry Mahoney was named after Winchell's grade-school teacher, who encouraged him to pursue ventriloquism. He was carved by Chicago-based figure maker Frank Marshall. The original Marshall-carved Jerry Mahoney is now 'living' at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.  

Knucklehead Smiff (above right) was 'born' in 1951, sculpted by Winchell from a copy of Jerry Mahoney's head. He co-starred with Winchell and Jerry Mahoney on “Winchell-Mahoney Time” and many other shows. Like Jerry Mahoney, he now resides at the 'Smiffsonian' Institution, although neither are currently accepting visitors!

Sid Gould (Show Announcer Voice) made more than 45 appearances on “The Lucy Show,” all as background characters. He also did 40 episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Gould (born Sydney Greenfader) was Lucille Ball’s cousin by marriage to Gary Morton.

Gould performed this same kind of uncredited voice over introduction when “Lucy and George Burns” (S5;E1) performed together.  

Marge, a voice on Lucy's intercom is uncredited, as is the female voice of the long distance operator.  Marge was also the name of Lucy Carmichael's sister, a character seen in “Lucy's Sister Pays a Visit” (S1;E15).  

Having Paul Winchell as a guest star was Lucille Ball's attempt to attract younger viewers to “The Lucy Show.”  

Lucille Ball seems to be having occasional vocal problems during this episode.

Upon meeting Paul Winchell, Lucy says “I always read your column” mistaking him for journalist Walter Winchell.  Paul Winchell quickly corrects her. She then says “I just get hysterical watching you and Charlie McCarthy” mistaking her for ventriloquist Edgar Bergen.  Again, Winchell quickly corrects her. Walter Winchell (1897-1972) was the narrator of Desilu's “The Untouchables” and did the same function for a parody episode on “The Lucy Show” titled “Lucy the Gun Moll” (S4;E25).  Edgar Bergen (1903-1978) appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1941 film Look Who's Laughing.

Lucy explains the bank's interest rates to Paul Winchell:  

Lucy gave away toasters for new savings accounts back in Danfield when “Lucy Takes a Job at the Bank” (S2;E21).  

In the previous episode, “Lucy the Bean Queen” (S5;E3) Lucy was redecorating her apartment.  The reveal is delayed as this episode has no scenes taking place in Lucy’s home.  

Mr. Mooney returns to the office after failing to find a celebrity to entertain at the Bankers Annual Banquet show.  Bob Hope is doing a show for the Girl Scouts in Pismo Beach; Jack Benny is on a tour of Fort Knox; Dean Martin just had an operation to remove a brass rail pressing on his foot. All three of these performers have guest starred on “The Lucy Show.”  Pismo Beach was thought to be a funny sounding name and was often used as a punch line in comedy.  Fort Knox is an Army base in Kentucky where much of the nation's gold supply is held, so the reference trades on Jack Benny's characterization of a being a miser. Dean Martin's comic persona was that of a heavy drinker, so the reference is to the foot rail found at bars.  

Lucy: Oh, gee, aren't there any other movie actors you could call? Mr. Mooney: Yes, yes, but they're all too busy running for public office.  

Mr. Mooney is likely referring to Ronald Reagan, who ran for Governor of California in 1966 and won (after this episode aired).  He held office until 1975 before setting his sights on the Presidency.  In 1980 he was elected 40th President of the United States, an office he held until 1989.  His screen acting career began in 1937 and lasted right up until he became Governor. Reagan appeared with Lucille Ball on two episodes of “The Ed Sullivan Show” in the mid-1950s.  

Paul Winchell gets a phone call from someone named Gary asking him to play golf.  This is probably and inside joke about Production Consultant (and Lucille Ball's husband) Gary Morton's fondness for playing golf.

In the opening scene at Paul Winchell's home, his character Irving Think (a mouse) is standing next to the telephone and Ozwald (with another figure's head attached) is propped up on the sofa. Ozwald was a commercially available doll resembling Humpty Dumpty that required the user to paint eyes and a nose on his or her own chin and hang the puppet upside down to create the character.  

After Winchell offers to lend Lucy one of his dummies, Lucy and the episode enters (what Winchell later calls) “the twilight zone.” Winchell's most famous dummies, Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff, become animated on their own, without any help from Winchell (although he may still be providing the voices live).  It is a surreal moment for a show that tries to keep one foot in a somewhat farcical version of reality (except perhaps for “Lucy the Superwoman” S4;E26).  

Lucy describes her boss as Diamond Jim Mooney after Winchell says he sounds like “the last of the big spenders.”  James Buchanan Brady (1856–1917) was an American businessman, financier and philanthropist of the Gilded Age who had a particular affinity for precious stones and jewelry.  His had a longtime relationship with actress and singer Lillian Russell. At one point, a TV biopic was planned starring Jackie Gleason with Lucille Ball as Russell, but it never came to pass.

Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff have a food fight with spaghetti, eggs, and cream pies, something they often did on “Winchell-Mahoney Time.”  

Mr. Mooney gets a telephone call from his boss, Mr. Cheever, a character who won't actually appear until the end of the season (played by Roy Roberts).  

Although Lucille Ball was game to conquer any comic task the writers created for her, becoming an accomplished ventriloquist in a week was a tall order, so Mrs. Carmichael's lips move when manipulating the dummy she borrows from Paul Winchell as workplace therapy.  

The Bankers Annual Banquet and Show is being held at the Beverly Ritz Hotel. Backstage there is a Fallout Shelter sign. After the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1961 (the beginning of the 'Cold War' between Russian and the United States), President Kennedy instructed that sturdy large-capacity structures be designated fallout shelters in case of attack. The yellow and black sign with three triangles inside a circle was used to alert the public that the building was designated such a structure.  The saloon door scenery used in the silent movie sketch of “Lucy Meets Mickey Rooney” (S4;E18) is also there, although the painted side is turned away from the camera.

As Tessie Mahoney, Lucy suggests that they sing “Your Dime is My Dime” because they are performing for an audience of bankers. This is a pun on the song “My Time is Your Time” written by Leo Dance and Eric Little in 1924. It was made famous by Rudy Valle who guest starred as himself on “Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana” (1957), the first “Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” and does so again in a 1970 episode of “Here's Lucy.”  

Winchell (voicing Lucy / Tessie and himself) sings “What Does This Audience Want?” an original song written especially for this episode.  The lyrics reference Milton Berle, who appeared in “Lucy Saves Milton Berle” (S4;E13).  

Callbacks! 

Ventriloquist Max Terhune played himself in "Ricky Loses His Temper” (ILL S3;E19). Terhune was a skilled vaudevillian who specialized in ventriloquism. On the Orpheum Circuit his dummy was known as Skully Null but was re-named Elmer Sneezeweed in the movies. Terhune was listed as one of the top ten money-making stars in Westerns for 1937, 1938 and 1939, appearing as Max ‘Alibi’ Terhune in a string of B-movie 'oaters.’  

Actually a call forward – to the stage and film musical Chicago in which a woman (Roxie Hart) becomes a ventriloquist's doll during the musical number “We Both Reached for the Gun.”  Here, Lucy takes on the persona of Tessie Mahoney, sitting on Paul Winchell's knee wearing a platinum blonde wig and pink dress singing “What Does This Audience Want?”

Blooper Alerts

Paul Winchell wants to open a savings account at Westland Bank.  Although certainly this is within the bounds of reality, it is likely that a big star like Paul Winchell would have his finances administered by a Business Manager and would not be going to a local bank for a savings account.  

Mr. Mooney's Dictaphone explodes just by Lucy touching it.  

None of Lucy's file cabinets are labeled.  With Lucy's wacky filing system it doesn't really matter anyway!

BALL and BERLE are BACK!

September 12, 1952

TV GUIDE ~ Volume 5, #37

This pre-national TV Guide for the New York region chose to colorize the photograph on the cover, which is a composite shot of Lucille Ball and Milton Berle, not one posed together. New York being the most important of the television markets, an attractive color cover was expected, while regions throughout the country used a one-color print and black and white (un-retouched) photos. 

New England chose green, maintaining the original monochrome of the photographs. 

In the original photograph, Lucille is smoking a cigarette.  The photographer and date of the photograph are not known with certainty. 

This is the fourth (of five) of Lucille Ball’s pre-national TV Guide covers. She was on the first National edition in April 1953, as well as a record 38 others!

Listings for Monday, September 15, 1952 include the season two premiere of “I Love Lucy,” “Job Switching” (ILL S2;E1), an episode that achieved iconic status in the annals of television history. 

In 1996, TV Guide included this episode as part of its “100 Most Memorable Moments in TV History” ranking it # 2. The special “TV’s Funniest of the Funniest,” ranked it first among the 30 funniest moments in TV history. Not surprisingly, this is one of Lucille Ball’s favorite episodes and was depicted on a TV Guide “I Love Lucy” collectible cover in October 2001.  

The listings also show “I Love Lucy” CBS lead-in “Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts”. Godfrey helped promote “I Love Lucy” during season one and would guest star as himself on “The Lucy Show” in 1965. 

Opposite “I Love Lucy” on NBC (and heavily promoted in the Guide) is “The Paul Winchell / Jerry Mahoney Show” starring master ventriloquist Winchell and his dummy Jerry Mahoney.  In 1966, Winchell played himself on “The Lucy Show” while Lucy substituted for Tessie Mahoney, Jerry’s cousin. Winchell went on to play character roles in a couple of other “Lucy” shows.  

At 10:45pm on channel 5, “Boxing Interviews” welcomed guest Grantland Rice.  While reading the sports pages together in 1953′s “The Camping Trip” (ILL S2;E29), Ricky refers to Grantland Rice. Lucy says “Sure, I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never tasted it.” Grantland Rice (1880–1954) was a sportswriter known for his elegant prose. 

BALL & BERLE ARE BACK! 

The article promoted on the cover is found on page 8. It features an advance look at the new “I Love Lucy” episode with a still of Ricky licking chocolate off Lucy’s face. This would be America’s first glimpse of the now-legendary episode, which was filmed in March 1952.  The brief article announces that Lucille Ball will be having another baby and has adjusted her filming schedule so as not to interfere with airing new programs during her pregnancy leave. It adds the news that Lucy Ricardo will ALSO be expecting a baby!  The article goes on to announce some minor changes to Berle’s show as well. 

Just as Lucy ‘owned’ Mondays, Berle held down Tuesdays for NBC.  

Page 36 of the local New York edition allows for some small ads for restaurants and Broadway plays, two of which were Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals mentioned on “I Love Lucy.”  In “No Children Allowed” (ILL S2;E22), Lucy gets tired of hearing Ethel announce how she saved them from eviction even though their lease prohibits babies.  In front of everyone, Lucy says,

“That scene has had more performances than ‘South Pacific’!“ 

By the time the episode aired, the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein was in the 4th year of its 1,925 performances.

The King and I will be mentioned in “The Celebrity Next Door” (LDCH 1957) when Tullulah Bankhead gets frustrated during the PTA show by a youth choir. 

“Who are these children, left over from 'The King and I’?” 

The Broadway musical had closed three years earlier, but the film version was barely a year old and earned five Oscars that year.   These are just two of the many references to Rodgers and Hammerstein (aka Dick and Oscar) and their blockbuster Broadway musicals on “I Love Lucy.” 

Page 11 of the New York edition has an ad for Belmont Park, a now-defunct racetrack in Long Island. When just a struggling model and actress, Lucille Ball adopted the name Diane Belmont, inspired by Belmont Park. 

The back cover of the New York edition promotes WNBT (later WNBC, the NBC flagship station in Manhattan) and their Saturday night line-up.

“All Star Revue” with George Jessell, Dorothy Kristen, Tony Martin, and Joe DeMaggio.

In May 1952, Lucy and Desi joined Ed Wynn, one of the show’s rotating hosts on the series also known as “Four Star Revue”. This was also their first time on another network (NBC) since signing with CBS to do “I Love Lucy.”

“Your Show of Shows” starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca with guest Marilyn Maxwell. This was their season four premiere. 

Caesar appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1967 film A Guide for the Married Man and played himself on a March 1968 “The Lucy Show.” 

“Your Hit Parade” featuring Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, June Valli, and Raymond Scott and his orchestra. The format was to sing the seven top rated popular songs for the week. This was their second season premiere. In June 1952, Milton Berle (who shares the cover with Ball) appeared on the show, presumably not as a singer! 

Speaking of Milton Berle...

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz appeared on “The Milton Berle Show” on February 22, 1949, although Berle was out sick, replaced by Walter O’Keefe, delaying a Berle and Ball collaboration until 1950, when Berle hosted “Show of The Year: Cerebral Palsy Telethon” on June 10 and Lucy and Desi were guests.  In the decade that followed, Berle (on NBC) and Ball (on CBS) both became the biggest stars of television, but still managed to collaborate on each others shows, most notably in 1959 on “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” episode “Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos” (LDCH E11) and (in return) on “Sunday Showcase: The Lucy-Desi Milton Berle Special” on NBC also in 1959. He did three episodes of “The Lucy Show” and one “Here’s Lucy.”  Ball and Berle would also grace the cover of the third National Edition of TV Guide in April 1953, appearing in an illustration showing them as the ‘totem pole of television’ that also featured Imogene Coca, Sid Caesar, and Arthur Godfrey.  

That same week, TV Guide’s competition TV Digest featured Marion Marlowe and Frank Parker, two singers on the “Arthur Godfrey Show”, inferring a romantic relationship between the two. Lucille Ball was pictured among stars in an ad for subscriptions.  

Another competitor, TV Forecast, had Larry Storch of “Cavalcade of Stars” on their cover.
