Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Better half. Just a minute, ladies and gentlemen, may I interject a question here? Just one. Who is the better half, the husband or the wife? Well, let's not argue. Let's find out. As we get underway with another stormy session of the Better Half, the comedy quiz that spotlights the home life of Mr. And Mrs. America. Married couples are up here tonight to match their wits in a battle of brains, brawn and duty for the title of the Better Half of the Family. And here's the little man who knows all, sees all and says plenty. Tiny Ruffner. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much. Thank you. Jack Berry. Well, Jack, who was our first couple tonight to toe the mark in the Better half race for top honors Here on their toes and waiting for the word go, tiny, are Mr. And Mrs. Ear of Brooklyn, New York. No, you don't tell me. Good old Brooklyn. Well, welcome to the family prize right here, folks. How are you feeling, Mr. And Mrs. Ehrlich? Fine. I knew Mr. Ehrlich. How are you feeling? A little shaky. Little nervous, huh? Don't forget now to talk right into that microphone. How long you folks been married? Nine. Nine. Ten months. Ten months. Ten months? Yes, ten months. How many children have you? None. Well, wonderful. None, I say. Oh, none. Oh, well, that's a no. No doubt will be remedied later on. Just freshmen, eh? Okay, now, before we start the fur flying here, let me see first how I can set you straight. As the cards stack up for this better half business, we're going to give you a series of tests with cash awards for each. And the one winding up with the more money at the end is without doubt the better half of the family. Does that sound fair to you, Mr. Elliot? Oh, he didn't answer. You are the better half at this juncture, there's no question. Okay, suppose you put your brains to work first. Here's an easy question to start you off for. $2, both of you go after it. First one to answer it correctly is the winner. Think of a popular old song now and tell me, what would you be doing while I hitched old Dobbin to the shay? No help from the audience, please. Blue bonnet. No, no. La, la, la. Riding in a carriage. No, the bonnet you'd be putting on your bonnet. That's right. You'd be putting on your old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it. That really gets the two down. Nice going. And now for $3. And this one is not so easy. It's a two syllable word we're looking for this time. Let's see who can figure it out first. The first syllable is a vehicle. New York's full of them. The second is a preposition. The whole word is a part of a ship. What is the word? Remember that the first syllable is a vehicle. New York is full of them. They're usually painted yellow or orange. What is that? Bus. No, no, no, no, no. You're. You're not a bus, but you're close. You're close. It's a means of transportation. It's a vehicle. It's got four wheels. It's yellow. Sometimes it has checkers on it, fellas, with little caps on it. Now, what's the second syllable? It's a preposition. It's a part of a ship. The whole word a preposition. What cabin is correct, Mr. Ehrlich? Nice going. And that gets you $3. Nice going. Now let's. Let's turn our attention this time to geography. For this quiz, four parts to the question, each worth a dollar. I want you to tell me with the following. For instance, if I should happen to say mountains, you could answer green, white, blue ridge, green mountains, white mountains, or so forth. You got the idea? All right, here we go. What color is suggested by a C, S, E, a blue. Green. No, that isn't incorrect. Neither of those are right. There's no blue sea. There is no green sea. But there are other colors. Red sea is correct. That gets you at. Now, what color is suggested by a famous English cliff? White. That's right. What cliffs are they? White cliffs. Over. That is correct. That's right. Now, what color is suggested by a natural park? Yellowstone. Absolute. Yellow is the word. Get you another dollar. All right. She's been around, hasn't she? All right, now here's another one. What color is suggested by a city in New Jersey? It's the one word that you cannot rhyme. I don't care how hard you try. It's a city in New Jersey. There's an east, there's a west. Orange. That is correct. Mr. Early can get you another dollar. Okay, now, $5 at stake this time. And we'll deal with rivers. There are 10 large rivers in the United States that bear the names of states. Let's see who can get three of them first. $5 a stake. Now. Ohio. One. Mississippi. Mississippi. That's one apiece. Go right ahead. Now, I need three from one of you. What is the Mississippi? What comes away from the Mississippi? What makes it the longest river in the world? Stretches way up into Canada. No help from the audience. What? St. Lawrence. St. Lawrence is not in the United States. I'm sorry? It's on the border. These are within the United States. Precisely. Let us go on. We have one apiece. You've overlooked. A lot of glory. That is correct. That's two for you, Mrs. Ehrlich. Nebraska. Omaha, Wyoming. Now, wait a minute. Now you're guessing. Now, one of them makes a very famous canyon. Makes a very famous canyon. What river is that? It's in the state of Arizona. Makes a very famous canyon. Colorado. Colorado is correct. And Mrs. Ehrlich wins. And that gets you $5, Mrs. Ehrlich. Now, let's take a look at how you folks made out in the mental department. We find that Mrs. Ehrlich has a grand total of $9, while her husband has but five. So, Mr. Ehrlich, you are trailing at the moment. But for your last test, we're going to put $10 at stake and we will be able to decide the issue. Do you recall everything you did for the past nine months? Let us say ten months? Practically everything. You think that's not too. I suppose so. Well, I think you too. Suppose you both go off stage to a nice quiet room with Jack Berry and see how much you can actually remember. We'll bring you back here in just a moment. And by that time we will be able to ask you some questions during those nine months which will display very cleanly how much you have remembered in those past nine months. Now, ladies and gentlemen, tonight we want to try something. We want to see whether a husband or a wife will give the more logical answers when they don't know what the heck they're talking about. For instance, we're going to take the subject of eating. And I'm going to put some questions to the two of them about eating. And the one who gives us the more logical answers will win 10 more dollars. But so that they don't know what we're talking about, we're Going to twist that word right back around and call it tay. T a e. See? And I'm going to call. Every time I should be saying eat, I'll be saying take. All right, Ed, signal Jack to bring him back in again and we'll get into this thing here and we'll see how logical the Ehrlichs are, whether it's the Mrs. Or the Mr. Who makes the best sense here, right up to our microphone. Now, Mrs. Ehrlich and Mr. Ehrlich, do you think you recall most of the things you did for the past? Do you? Yep. You do? Well, that's good. Fine. Now, I'd like to ask you some questions, if you don't mind. These questions may sound silly. I can't explain them. But you just give logical answers to something you do not understand. If you can, you simply answer the best you can. Whether you're right or wrong, you'll find out later. Mr. Ehrlich, suppose we start with you. When did you tell last? When did I what? I said. I'm sorry, Mr. Early Kid. I said I can't explain. I simply want to know when. When did you tail last? Take a guess and see if you don't know. About a year ago. Remarkable fellow. Holds his physique well, too. You wouldn't think it. Now, Mrs. Erlich, when did you tell last? Let me see. Yeah. When did you tell you last? Never. Never? I don't believe it. Well, neither of you came very close that time, but Mr. Ehrlich has a slight edge. At least he does taste sometimes. Let' let's see how your answer ties in this time. Mrs. Ehrlich, if you did tay, what would you use? Well, if my husband tayed a year ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would he use? A fish pole. A fish pole. Very novel. Very novel. Particularly if you were a fish. Very novel. Well, all right. Now, let's see about Mr. Ehrlich. It's quite possible you could do that, but I've never seen it done. Mr. Ehrlich, what would you use to tay with? A rake and a shovel. A rake and a shovel. Not exactly good manners. Not precisely. Once again, we've got to admit you're doing better than your wife here, believe it or not. Now, just one more question, Mrs. Ehrlich, and I'll tell you this much. You actually do tape. You have to. Everybody does. Now, bearing that in mind, tell me, the last time you tated home, did you do it in the cellar, the attic, the bathtub, the sink or the dining room? I did it in the bathroom. You did it in the bathroom? You had stuff from the bowl in the bathroom? I don't know. Ever heard of. Maybe an Indian found a spring in there, and you, you sampled the same spring? I don't know. Most peculiar woman. Tell me, Mr. Mr. Ehrlich, where do you usually tay? At home, in the dining room. Wonderful. Absolute Alphabet. Wonderful. Now, now I'll explain these shenanigans to you. Folks. The word tay, when you turn it around, is eat. Is. Gave us the more logical answers. Mr. Ehrlich, the $10 go to you. And here's Mr. Barry to give us the final score in the Ehrlich family. Well, whether it's hay or eat, it looks like Mr. Ehrlich has come out ahead because Mrs. Erlich wound up with $9 and her husband wound up with 15. So, gentlemen, who's the better half of the Ehrlich family? The husband. Congratulations, sir. The better half honors of the family go to you. And along with it this grand Prize, a beautiful 17 jewel World famous Bolivar flight commander. And may the rest of your married life sparkle as brightly as that brand new beautiful boulevard you've just won. And Mrs. Ehrlich, well, I guess you know what's coming to you. A little seat in our second radios row where you can observe the rest of our show in chagrined silence.

And now, Jack, is our next couple all set to brave the wrath of the better half? Sure thing. Up here to battle it out for the front place on their domestic scene are Mr. And Mrs. Camp of Astoria, Long Island. I never heard of a better location. Now, try not to answer at the same time. Both right now, Mr. And Mrs. Camp. But which of you is without a doubt the better half of your family. Into the mic. Oh, I see. That's good. I always like to have people both convinced that they're the better half because somebody always quite gets surprised and really turns out to be that. Now let's go to work and see who walks off with the honors. Both of you say a right into these questions. Remember, the payoff is for speedy replies. We'll start you off with $2 and an easy question that goes like this. What famous group of men in fiction had for their slogan these words one for all and all for one? Titanium? The Three Musketeers. Three Musketeers is correct. Who said it first? You said it for George Washington with three men. I knew he threw a dollar across the river, but I never heard of him dividing himself like an amoeba. Okay, that gets you the first two dollar payoff. Here. Now here's one for three dollars. Let's see which of you can do the better with this. I want you to tell me what animals are associated with the following. $1 for each animal. The movie Dracula brings to mind what creature or animal? The movie Dracula. That's absolutely correct, Mr. Camp. That gets you another dollar. Now the stage success Harvey brings to mind what particular? A rabbit. That is correct. Another dollar. How about the opera Carmen? What animal does that bring to mind? A bull. A bull is correct. A man's just awful good, folks. Congratulations, Mr. Camp. Here. Now that'll stop Mrs. Camp. Don't you worry. Now you get in and get the $4 this time. What city and state are mentioned in this sentence? And this is for $4. Take home a hatchet for Washington's birthday. What city and state? I meant Palmer Washington. Correct, Mr. Camp. And that's another $4. Holy suffering cat. How did information please ever pass you up, I wonder. Now there's mystery in the air. $5 to the one who can guess from the numerous clues I'll give you what I am. And listen carefully now. There's nothing glamorous about me. I am as silent as the ancient sphinx. My job is of a humanitarian nature, saving lives. But alas, my wise judgment not only goes unheeded at times by fools, but they actually beat me when I warn them of danger. Any guesses so far? No blank looks. Life around me revolves at a terrific pace. From east and west and north and south they come. I feel like a maypole but with the twist they stop and cuss me. What am I, a traffic cop? A traffic cop. That's close. But it isn't it. It's inanimate. I speak in colors of only two words. Some folks call me a silent policeman because I say stop and go. What am I, miss? What am I? A traffic light. A traffic light is correct, Mr. Camp. That's practically a clean sweep. By George, it is a clean sweep, isn't it, Bill? Oh, shame, shame, Mrs. Camp. Oh, it's bad. That's the biggest goose egg ever. Did I get any bonus for shutting? Well, you haven't shut her out yet. We got another quest test coming up here for you. But you do lead by a score of $16 to 0. Now, for your last test, Mr. Mrs. Camp, we want to see if a woman can really out talk a man. When we limit your vocabulary. I'm going to put some questions to the two of you. You can only answer them with words beginning with the letter B. AB the second letter of the Alphabet. Five questions in all. $2 rather to the first one to come up with an answer each time. Remember, though, you must answer with only one word each time. And that word must start with the letter B. I'm going to ask you five questions. There'll be $2 riding on each one of the questions. Now, here is the first one. What was the first thing you said to each other the first time you met? Starts with a B now. Must have a B. B, B. Oh, baby, that's very good. And what did you say, Mrs. Camp? Do you remember? Baloney. Baloney. Ah, the man had a conquest in mind. He had to go after that. Wasn't giving in easily. All right, here's your second one. What do you talk about mostly now? Babies. Babies. Have you got any ideas on the. What are you talking about? Bedbugs. Bedbug. Boy, that's really coming down far on the scale of humanity. From a baby to a bedbug. Well, what do you know? Here's your third one. What do you think of married life? No such. With a B. Beautiful. Beautiful. That's better. Mr. Camp. Bunk. Bunk. A little late, but good. Now here's your fourth one. A. Favorite breakfast food would be. What starts with a B? Now, remember B. Favorite breakfast food starts with a B. Gotta be a B. Must be a B. Can't be anything. Bean. Bean. Okay. Borscht. Beans and borscht. Well, I guess we'll have to accept those. Although it's very odd to sit down to a plate of borscht. Particularly if it's cold early in the morning. Here's your next one. Where is a good place to Be alone. Bathtub. Bathtubs. Boy, are you right? Absolutely right, Mr. Camp. And that gets you two more dollars. And now I'm going to ask our good friend here, Mr. Jack Berry, to step up here and read the total editions on the board over there and tell us what the final is in the Camp family. Well, I'm afraid, tiny, that Mrs. Camp is going to have to camp out tonight because she wound up with $5 and her husband wound up with 21. So again, gentlemen, who's the better half of the camp? Ah, congratulations, Mr. Camp. Along with the family honors, may we present you with a grand prize to remind you for the rest of your life that you are indeed the better half of your family. This lovely Boulevard 17 jewel. Gift of a lifetime. A flight commander. Hope you enjoy wearing it. And Mrs. Camp, you were an awfully good sport. You tried awfully hard. But still there is only one fate in store for those who lose on the better half. And that is to be relegated to our second Raiders row where you may sit quietly and watch to the best of folk. But just to make a second rater feel good, let's give her a little applause, shall we, huh? That's fine. That makes her feel better. I know. And now is couple number three on tap. Jack. That they are a courageous couple rushing in where others fear to tread. Meet Mr. And Mrs. Pizer, who get. Get this, Tiny. Who live between Martinsville and Liberty Corners, New Jersey, can't make up their minds, huh? Well, that's fine. Glad to have you here, Mr. And Mrs. Pizer. Step right on that trap door there in front of the min. Microphone. Make yourselves at home. How are you feeling, Mrs. Pizer? Oh, fine. And how long have you been married to Mrs. Pizer, Mr. Pizer? 30 years. 30 years, I see. And how long have you. You've been married at the same length of time, I presume? Yes, indeed. 30 years. How many months? You remember that. When was your. What's the date of your anniversary? Next Tuesday. Next Tuesday. Well, I'm so happy that you're here so close to your anniversary. That will be your 30th. The 31st. It be your 30th anniversary. What does that mean in the. In ways of. Of anniversary? What does that get you? China or what? I. Pearl. Pearl. Pearls. Is that right? I'm not sure about that. Well, there's no money on that answer, so nobody's going to worry about it. Mr. Pizer. You know, they say when a woman goes up in the air, she usually lands on her husband. So Watch out here tonight, will you? Okay, now let's open our bag of fix and see what happens. Here's a question right on top. And it's marked $2. When Daylight Saving time goes into effect, do we turn our clocks upside down, inside out, forward or backwards? Backwards. What? Forward? Forward is correct. A Good second guess, Mr. Kaiser. Turn the forward one. R is correct. And we'll be doing that April 28th, I believe, or somewhere along about that time. Now, for $3, I want you to name all the foods you can think of and. Oh, I'll give you an unlimited length of time here. All the foods you can think of that are eaten from the inside out now, like a pumpkin or a grapefruit. And I'm going to let you alternate this time, giving first you, Mrs. Pizer, then Mr. Pizer, then Mrs. Pizer. And the first one who runs out of things that you can eat from the inside out loses. Go right ahead, Mrs. Pizer. Orange. Correct. Grapefruit. That is correct. Watermelon. Water. Very good. Egg. Egg. Yes. Yes, indeed. Only way. Cantaloupe is also good, Mrs. Pizer. Cantaloupe.

Potato. Potato. I'm going to question that. I'm going to question potato. Go right ahead. Now, give me another if you can. But I'm going to question potato and I'm going to count to 10. If you don't come up with an, she wins on you. One, two, three. What? Pineapple. You said pineapple. Sheep said pineapple. But it's still your turn. Is she helping you a little bit? She wants you to be the better half. Well, let's all go home. What's the sense of this whole thing here now. Now, come on, get in and fight. One, two, three. Pumpkins. Pumpkin. That's all right. I'll accept that. I don't remember any of it saying that. Go right ahead. Now, I said that from the thing, the beginning. Go ahead. Pineapple. You said it. That's all right. Now, Mr. Pizer. One squash. Very good. You see, you can go right on once you get started. Come on, Mrs. Pizer. One, two, three, four. She's slipping. Five, six. She's falling. Seven, eight, nine. She's practically flat. Nine and a half. Nine and three quarters. Nine and seven eighths. Nine and fifteen. Cucumber. Cucumber. Well, all right. Go on. Come on, Mr. Pizer. One, two million, two, three. A gherkin. Gherkin. Oh, no. Now, I always eat my gherkins straightforward. I don't sneak up on them and bore in at them. I eat them right back. Come on, give us another one here. Gotta do better than Gherkin. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Frankfurter. Frankfurter. That's all right. You can't. You gotta take the skin off of a frankfurter.

Cherry. No, you're thinking of Manhattan. I'm surprised. Plain to see you've never been a bartender. Olive, you have to eat to get at the seed. How you going to eat the seed first and then come outside? What are you, a worm? That's a fine thing, huh? Can of beans. Can of. Ah, that's the end. When a woman can get down to taking the can and eating it from the inside out, I quit. Chalk her up. With the money over there, that's three. That's $2. I'm glad to see you. Get. Now, for $3, I want. Oh, no. Oh, she got $3 that time. Now we're going on to $4 and four parts. The answers in each case must start with the word jack, like jack of all trades. Jack in the pulpit and so on. Here we go. These are definitions. You tell me what they are. It's gotta have a jack in it. A graceful diver can do what? Jackknife. Very good, sir. A tortoise once beat a what in a race? A hat. No, it's gotta have a jack in it. Jack rabbit. That is correct. Ah, very lucky day here. Now, on a lucky day, you might hit what kind of a pot. Jackpot. That is correct. Children get a big kick out of a what. Gotta have a jack in it. Jack. Jack. Jacks would be all right? Right. Jack says okay, I'll accept that. And the $3 goes to you, I believe, sir. And $1 to Mrs. Pliser. Well, Mrs. Pliser, we're losing ground here a little bit, but here's one for $5. This is your last one. You really got to Think about this. It's a compound word that we're looking for. Two words compounded and used as one. Let's see who can figure out what it is. The second part of the word is practically made of the same material as the first. The first has the same name as a rabbit. The whole word is actually used to keep the first word in order. What is the word? Now, if I haven't confused you, I certainly haven't done a good job. You're going to confuse me. I'll go right through it again. The second part of the word is practically made of the same material as the first. The first part of the word has the same name as a rat, only it's not a rabbit. It's the other name for it. The whole word is actually used to keep the first word in order. All right, now help. Hair is the first part. Now what's the rest part? The last part. Hairbrush. Hairbrush is correct, Mr. Pizer. Nice going. That gets you five more dollars in our. Congratulations. Let's take a look at that mental department. Well, it's a little closer this time. Mr. Pizer leads only by a score of 8 to 6, with the final round coming up in. Mrs. Pizer, I want you to get in here now and do your best. Because we want to get at least one man in that second Raiders row tonight, see? So for this last test, and before we go on with it, I'd like to speak Mr. Pizer, to your wife alone, if I may so. Take him away, Mr. Barry. And while he's out there, slip a raincoat and a hat on the man. You can never tell when it's going to rain these days. In fact, you can never tell from now when it's going to come through the top of the theater the way it is raining outside. And now, Mrs. Pizer, he's a waif. We want to see how helpful a wife can really be after 30 years. You've probably learned of a number of ways to help your husband, but none I am sure which will satisfy you so much as this way that you're going to help him. Tonight when your husband comes back here. I'm going to read a little poem now and then I'll pause and ask your husband to fill in the missing words to help him do that, Mrs. Pizer, we'll let you stand directly in back of him. Now, you can't talk. Can't talk, understand? But by insinuations only. You're to help him when you think he's stuck your insinuations will be on a table there right next to you, four in all, corresponding to the four words that he's got to fill in from left to right. On that table, I think you'll notice a cup of flour, a frying pan, a pitcher of water and a nice, fresh raw egg. Now, remember, if he doesn't come right out with the answer, you toss him a gentle little hint by bouncing any one of those things there off his noggin, see? Each one is associated with one of the missing words. And be sure that you get the right one that's associated, see? Otherwise, the hint's no good. If he answers right away, your help will not be needed. But if he's stuck, you help him out. If he gets three out of four without your help, the $10 goes to him. If he needs your help, the money goes to you. And you will be the better half of the Pizer. That's how important it is to you. Now, you go right over there and stand behind that chair, and we'll bring Mr. Pizer right back onto our stage here. Let's get him back now, shall we? Him. Here he comes. Fella doesn't know what he's in for. He's got a heartstove right up to the microphone. Mr. Pizer. Come on. Hey. Oh, that's all right there. Ah. Well, well, well, Mr. Pizer. What's the big idea of all the rubber going? Why don't you tell me? Well, if you like it, you can wear it. In the meantime, I'd like you to sit down and make yourself comfortable. You're making yourself comfortable. I'm so happy to hear that. I want you to be comfortable above all other things. Now, I'm going to be poetical here tonight. I'm going to read you a lovely bit of poetry, Mr. Pfizer. And I simply like you to supply the missing words. You're good at limericks. Oh, very good. Oh, you'll have no trouble at all. Remember, it's a poem, so the words have got to rhyme limerick style. Your wife is standing in back of you. She can't talk to you, but she'll help you all she can with some gentle hints. Remember, she can't talk to you, but she'll give you the idea, I'm sure, because she promised us that she would help you all through this test with hints. If you get stunned. Okay, now, here we go. Listen carefully now. Here's the point. Tis pretty. And each passing hour brings out a new. A new. Brings out a new flower. Yeah. A little late. A little late. A little late. Now, here that you. You wouldn't have needed that hint, but she gave it to you at the same time that you got it, so you got it. All right. Now let's go on with this next little bit of poetry. Mr. Pizer, she'll help you. Don't worry. She'll help you. If you need the roses, the lilacs and trees will soon be joined by the little. Pansies. Pansies, that's right. I'm so sorry you had to have Those hints though, Mr. Pizer. That was unfortunate. Unfortunate? Because, you see, she had to help you. But see if you can get this one without any help. Now, the beautiful trees that cover the lanes make it a shelter when it starts to rain. Mrs. Pizer. Mrs. Pizer. He did not need that pin. He was right on the beat. That is okay. That's a fine thing. We apologize for Mrs. Pizer. Mrs. Pizer, I tell you what you got to do. Take that water right back. Take it back. Take the water back. That doesn't count. See? Now let's go on to this last one. And I'm sure you won't need any help with this, Mr. Pizer. Here we go. The farmers are busy with hoes, plows and rakes. The hen house is chock full of chickens and eight eggs. And we got the hen that time. Oh, this poor boy is really dripping. Oh, that's not too much help. So let's add 10 more DOL to his score. And here's Jack Berry to give us the final score. 10 more dollars to Mrs. Pizer's score. All right, here's the final. Mr. Pizer wound up with $8. Mrs. Pizer has 26. So, ladies, who's the better half of the pizer family? Congratulations, Mrs. Pizer. You walked off to the honors entitling you to an extra special grand prize. So the better half of your family, may we present you with this beautiful world famous 17 jewelry full of a goddess of time. I. You earned it. And she got it. You're right. Well, if you look at the results of the night, we find husbands and wives wound up in our second reader's role. But there are two wives and only one husband. So tonight the gentlemen are the better halves of the family. Join us again next week at the same time, ladies and gentlemen, for another stormy session of the Better Half. Until then, this is your old friend, friend Tiny Ruffner, bidding you good night all. The Better Half is a Jackburn production and originates from the Mutual Playhouse in New York. Jack Barry speaking. And this is the Mutual Broadcasting System.
