- [Narrator] Pennsylvania has scenic valleys nestled between the many mountains.

Those valleys produce some of the foggiest inland locations in the eastern United States.

Do you know which month produces the most days with dense fog in Pennsylvania?

You're invited to play The Pennsylvania Game.

Test your knowledge of the Commonwealth's people, places, and products.

The Pennsylvania Game is brought to you in part by Uni Marts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.

(cheerful music) And from Landmark.

And Landmark is A, a savings and loan, B, a bank, C, a leading mortgage lender, or D, all of the above?

The correct answer is D, all of the above.

People to people: It's just a better way to bank.

Now, here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, Lynn Hines.

(applause) - We have everything we need to play a Pennsylvania game except a voice.

We're gonna struggle through, and I'm gonna save enough of this to get through it.

We got some great questions, a great audience, and a great panel, and let's meet them.

He's here and he loves to play games.

Bernie Asbell.

Bernie.

(applause) One of our favorite psychologists and ex-TV actor, Steve Ragusea.

(applause) And from Pittsburgh, and she claims she's getting laryngitis too, Lynn Cullen.

(applause) Now, I'm gonna ask the panel to talk a lot during this game so I can save my voice.

Have you noticed what days are more foggy in which month, hm?

- [Narrator] Pennsylvania's beautiful valleys produce some of the foggiest inland locations in the eastern United States.

Which month has the most days with dense fog in Pennsylvania?

A, February, B, April, C, August, or D, October?

- Bernie, I know you probably, on your calendar every day, check off the days with fog.

- Yes, I do.

The foggiest days.

Fog, I believe, is produced because the warm air is pushing the cold air out and the cold air is pushing the warm air out.

So that brings us down to two.

(laughter) Isn't that right?

- I don't know.

- If that's not right, I'm all wrong.

I think I'm gonna go with October.

- It's a lovely month.

Dr. Ragusea, sir.

- I'm going to go with with February, because it's a B, and after the blast of hot air I just heard out of Bernie- - It's actually, it's A.

(laughter) - Oh, I'm gonna go with A, I'm changing it to A.

- Okay.

(laughter) - It had nothing to do with Bernie's blast.

It was just February.

- And Lynn?

- I think maybe April, because, I don't wanna get meteorological about it, but I think because fog is clouds, clouds are moisture, there's April showers bring May flowers.

- Well said.

- Something.

- Something like that.

- Well said.

One of the most articulate.

I'm gonna go with C, 'cause nobody picked it, and just to get every letter covered.

Which month has the most fog?

- [Narrator] The answer is D, October.

Early fall produces morning fog due to mild moist air being cooled at ground level by the lengthening nights of autumn.

That cooling produces about 20 foggy mornings each October in Pennsylvania.

- You gotta get up early in the morning to see the fog, and that's why Bernie got it right, 'cause Bernie gets up with the chickens.

- No, no, I stay up that late, is what I do.

(laughter) - Why you have chickens in your apartment, I don't know, but that is.

Next question is about a man from Holidaysburg.

Holidaysburg, course, is near Altoona.

It's probably more correct to say that Altoona is near Holidaysburg, because Holidaysburg was really there first.

But it's about someone who did something famous from Holidaysburg.

- Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was a Black surgeon from Holidaysburg.

In 1893, Dr. Williams had a medical first.

Did he do the first successful A, tonsillectomy, B, open heart surgery, C, plastic surgery, or D, blood transfusion?

- What year?

- What year?

- That year was 1893.

Which did he do the first successful?

Tonsillectomy, open heart surgery, plastic surgery, or blood transfusion?

And Steve, you get to start on this one.

- Oh sure, (chuckle) that's great.

Very few people know, of course, that Holidaysburg was the original home of plastic surgery.

And I happen to know that fact.

And they eventually grafted some skin on it and made it into Altoona.

(laughter) - Miss Cullen, can you follow that so far?

Which is it?

- Gee, I was so impressed there for a minute.

Did you like that?

- Yeah.

Blood trans, I was trying to do Dracula, and I can't do, I can't do voices.

- I can do Dracula.

- No, you can't, not today.

- Bernie?

- Well, it's actually, Lynn is right, but she doesn't know why.

See, until 1893, one of the great cures in medicine was bloodletting.

They just let the blood pour out.

He discovered that you could let the blood pour in.

And therefore I think blood transfusion is what he did in Holidaysburg.

- I personally think it sounds about right for tonsillectomies, but what do I know?

What is the right answer?

- [Narrator] The answer is B, open heart surgery.

Dr. Daniel Hale Williams founded Providence Hospital in Chicago in 1891, the nation's first interracial hospital, paving the way for many black doctors and nurses in medicine.

- Okay, all right, we're back now.

And that portrait hangs, by the way, in the library in Holidaysburg.

It is quite an achievement.

- That's really quite surprising.

- What you been up to lately?

- Well, working on a couple of books and teaching a lotta students.

- [Lynn Hines] What books you working on?

- Well, one on Queen Isabella of Spain, of all things.

And another one trying to convert hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of social psychology and psychology studies into plain English, so that we who are being studied by those people can know what they're finding.

- I think it's only fair that Dr. Steven Ragusea, clinical psychologist, give a rebuttal to that answer.

(laughter) - Oh yeah?

(laughter) - [Lynn Hines] Well said.

- How's that?

- Well said.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Steve.

I know that you were a television actor in a previous lifetime.

- Right, (chuckle) I was, that's right, in an earlier lifetime.

I started out to be an actor.

I grew up in New York and did some television and radio and off Broadway shows, and got less and less interested in that and more and more interested in people.

And my interest in studying people for theater eventually developed into an interest in people as a psychologist.

- But it's fun to be back on television.

- [Steve] Especially with you.

- And it's fun to have you back.

Lynn Cullen?

- What?

- [Lynn Hines] Talk a while, 'cause I'm croaking.

- Oh, good heavens, I was afraid.

I'm envious.

I just listened to a speech that said you're not supposed to be envious, but I'm envious, because I went to New York to become an actress, and I never got any parts.

(laughter) - You didn't look like Sal Mineo.

- That's right, if you would've looked like Sal Mineo, you would've made it.

- That's right.

- And you didn't wind up a shrink, either.

- And I didn't wind up a shrink, but I had to settle for television.

- [Lynn Hines] Next question.

You're a good sport.

Let's listen.

- [Narrator] What sport is the leading spectator sport in the United States?

A, football, B, auto racing, C, baseball, or D, horse racing?

- Boy, is that a simple question.

Just, Lynn Cullen, that couldn't be more direct.

What sport do more people go to and look at?

- [Lynn Cullen] Why am I answering this question?

- 'Cause it's your turn first.

- Oh, but, I mean, it just doesn't necessarily have anything to do, well I guess more Pennsylvanians watch it too, huh?

- [Lynn Hines] Probably so, I would think.

- See, these things are never what they seem, so it's probably, it's one of those racing ones, and- - [Lynn Hines] Think it's a racy question.

- [Steve] I'd go with auto racing.

- You would, would ya?

- Yeah.

'Cause I want you to be wrong.

(laughter) - I say it's horse racing, which pretty much ensures that it is auto racing.

- Monsieur Asbell.

- It's not football.

- It isn't?

- No, it's not football.

- Why not?

- Well, because the games are too seldom.

There's always a horse race in lots of places on every day.

So I think that beats baseball.

I'll go with horse racing too.

- That's very interesting.

And Stephen?

- See, I think the question is how do you define the term leading?

Is it in terms of how many people watch on any given day, how many people watch all year long?

How many people are there on TV, radio, movie rights?

- [Bernie] We don't like this question, Lynn.

- In person.

(laughter) In person, that might be horse racing.

- [Lynn Hines] That people go to look at in a given year.

- Except a lotta people go to a football game.

I would've guessed baseball 10 years ago, but now I'm gonna guess football, just because we beat Alabama.

(laughter and applause) - I wanna congratulate the panel, you've just spelled dad.

- [Narrator] The answer is D, horse racing.

There are two harness racing tracks in Pennsylvania.

The Meadows, seen here, is near Washington, and Pocono Downs is near Wilkes Barre.

In harness racing, the driver sits in a sulky behind a pacer or a trotter, rather than atop the horse, as in thoroughbred racing.

There are three thoroughbred tracks in Pennsylvania: Erie Downs, Philadelphia Park, and Penn National, near Harrisburg.

Horse racing, monitored by the State Racing Commission, became the leading spectator sport when para mutual betting was made legal.

- Well, okay.

Odds are that Bernie Asbell, because he copied Lynn Cullen, has a very slight lead, but a very slight lead.

Let's hear it for Bernie Asbell.

(applause) Now, we have a mystery Pennsylvanian for you, and we're going to give you three clues throughout the course of the show.

And here is the first clue.

He started as an amateur magician and accordionist.

He made his acting debut in a Boy Scout play.

That's all I'm gonna tell you on the first clue.

Started as an amateur magician and accordionist, made his acting debut in a Boy Scout play.

If you know the name of our mystery Pennsylvanian on the first clue, write it under number one, panel.

And if you don't, there'll be another clue, if I can still talk very shortly.

Oh, this is about an official document, symbol, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

- [Narrator] Which of these items is not on the seal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?

A, a plow, B, the Liberty Bell, C, a sheaf of wheat, or D, a ship?

- Okay, wanna say that Reggie Wingate of Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, WPSX and Pennsylvania Magazine are pleased to present you with a year's subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine for sending in this question.

Which of these, Bernie, is not on the seal of Pennsylvania?

- Got it.

- Now, that's the seal sticker.

- Well, Pennsylvania is very proud of its plows and its wheat, I haven't seen any wheat, and it's ships.

I can't imagine why the Liberty Bell would be on the seal of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

- Well, you know, Philadelphia's in, okay.

- That's no reason.

- Steve?

- I was gonna guess all of 'em, because as you said, I expected it to have whiskers and flippers and stuff.

- [Lynn Hines] Yeah, that's not that kinda seal.

- You sound a little like a seal today.

(Lynn barks like a seal) That's good.

(laughter) I'm going to go with C, thinking that we're proud of agriculture, shipping, and our historical part in the liberation of our nation.

But we don't grow that much wheat in Pennsylvania, I don't think.

- Okay.

Lynn Cullen?

- That brings up an interesting point.

True, there are two agricultural items.

There are a plow and a sheaf of wheat, which would be redundant!

I was going to go with B, the Liberty Bell, but- - [Lynn Hines] Repetitive, even.

- I'm still gonna go with B, the Liberty Bell, for some reason.

(laughter) - Okay.

- I don't know why.

- We have two ding dogs and a sheaf of.

(laughter) What is the right answer?

- [Narrator] The answer is B, the Liberty Bell.

Even though the first seal was designed in 1776, the year the Liberty Bell rang for independence, the bell is not on our seal.

The seal was legally adopted in 1791.

- And at that time, Lancaster County was the breadbasket of America.

Wheat was big.

- Big back then.

- Before they discovered Kansas.

- [Bernie] That's right, at one time, Lancaster was our Midwest.

- That's right, before they, that was right.

- Did you know Dorothy Gale discovered Kansas?

Did you know that that was Dorothy's last name?

- The wizard?

No.

- When she's talking to the good witch, the good witch says, "I'm Glenda the good witch of the north," or whatever it is, and she says, "Hi, I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas."

- [Lynn Cullen] That could be her middle name.

(laughter) - And Kansas is her last name?

That could be her middle name?

- [Lynn Hines] This next question is about a Pennsylvania product, folks.

- Pennsylvania product.

- In 1830, two men started a company that may well be the oldest continuing manufacturing operation in Pennsylvania.

The Woolrich Company began by making what product?

A, woolen blankets, B, fishing lures, C, wooden toys, or D, eyeglasses?

- The Woolrich Company began with what?

Now, are we being real obvious here or not, I guess is the thing that you have to decide.

And I believe Stephen decides first this time.

Steve?

- Well, I've gotten everything wrong so far, (laugh) so I'm going to continue to get things wrong by guessing the obvious, which is woolen blankets.

- [Lynn Hines] Woolen blankets, that is the obvious answer.

Lynn Cullen?

- It's foolhardy to follow him, isn't it, and do what he's done?

But I'm going to do it.

- Ship of fools.

- Well yeah, Woolrich, woolen blankets.

Sounds good, doesn't it?

- I'm not much of a sportsman, and I have the impression that Woolrich is one of the great names in sportswear.

And therefore I'm gonna guess that they started not with sportswear, but with fishing lures.

- [Lynn Hines] Because fishing is a sport.

- And then moved out into sportswear.

- [Steve] I think that's a good guess.

- [Bernie] Do you think it's a good guess?

- Would you like to change?

- No!

- Let's see which is correct here.

- [Narrator] The answer is A, woolen blankets.

In 1980, the company, located in the village of Woolrich, celebrated 150 years of continuous operation.

Passing from one generation to another, Woolrich has manufactured woolen products.

From just six employees in 1830, the company has grown to more than 2300 workers, and divisions of Woolrich produce woolen products throughout the United States and in Canada and Europe as well.

- Okay, sometimes the obvious is the obvious.

What can I say?

How we doin' score wise?

We have drawn into a tie with Miss Cullen on one end and Monsieur Asbell on the other.

And Steve is in the contest now.

Let's hear it for them.

- Absolutely.

- [Lynn Hines] They're doing great.

(applause) (panelists speaking simultaneously) - Okay, let me croak my way through.

Sorry about my voice, let me croak my way through the second clue for the mystery Pennsylvanian.

He made a Broadway comeback of sorts in the 1970s.

It was a role he did in a 1950 movie in which he shared top billing with a large animal.

That's the second clue.

First clue is, started as an amateur magician, accordionist, acting debut in a Boy Scout play.

The second clue, Broadway comeback in the '70s, A role he did in a '50 movie, he shared top billing with a large animal.

And scribbling like crazy going down on the part of the panel.

Okay, let's move along to our next question.

Oh, this is about another state with a Pennsylvania connection.

You'll see.

- [Narrator] Before Tennessee became the 16th state in 1796, it had been an independent state named after a Pennsylvanian.

Who was that person?

A, Ben Franklin, B, Daniel Boone, C, Betsy Ross, or D, Anthony Wayne?

- Okay, and WPSX and the Pennsylvania Magazine are happy to present a year subscription to Pennsylvania Magazine to Paul Wallace from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, who's in our audience today.

Don't look, he's not gonna help you.

(laughter) But Paul Wallace.

Paul Wallace did send this in, and we're glad that he did.

And that's the question.

- That's great question.

- Yeah.

- Who the heck is Anthony Wayne?

- Mad Anthony Wayne.

- I happen to know.

- What?

- Mad Anthony Wayne.

- Mad Anthony Wayne, but of course.

- General in the Civil War.

- Sure!

- Mad at the British.

- Right.

Daniel Boone was from Pennsylvania?

- [Lynn Hines] We discovered that first season.

- Just because I didn't know him, and I'm being somewhat whimsical.

I'll go with Anthony Wayne.

- Mad Anthony Wayne, sure.

- Yeah.

- Bernie.

- Yeah, I have to too, for elimination of Franklin.

Betsy Ross was, the women's liberation had not come yet.

- [Lynn Hines] The state of Wayne.

- Yeah, if he's a general, we always do things for generals.

- State of Ross, the state of Boone, the state of Franklin.

Stephen?

- Well, it couldn't be Betsy Ross, because America didn't acknowledge women way back then as being real people.

- [Lynn Hines] That's partly true, unfortunately.

- Well, it's true.

- [Lynn Cullen] I actually thought he was warming up.

- I acknowledge you as a real person.

Don't, now, let's not start.

(laughter) - [Lynn Hines] Which one?

- I can't imagine a state called Franklin.

And Anthony Wayne, I think was from Ohio, not Pennsylvania.

'Cause Anthony Wayne Trail's in Ohio, at least.

So I'm gonna go with Daniel Boone, just 'cause I liked watching him on Walt Disney when I was a kid.

(laughter) - Coulda been a state called Ben, not Franklin.

- [Lynn Cullen] Wayne State, haven't you heard of it?

- Let's see.

- Wayne State, that's right.

- Here we go.

- The answer is A, Ben Franklin.

(laughter) Formed in 1785, the state of Franklin existed for four years.

Refused statehood, it later became Tennessee.

- Tennessee was originally part of North Carolina, and John Severe was the first governor.

And they called themselves Franklin after.

- You know, it's true, this program is very educational.

I wish we didn't forget the answers so quickly.

- How many times have I told you, if it's about a famous Pennsylvania person, if you guess Ben Franklin, you're gonna be right more often than not.

A great man.

Indeed, a great man.

This goes back to Pittsburgh and a famous person from Pittsburgh.

But before your time a little bit, Lynn Cullen.

Let's listen.

- [Narrator] Michael Musmanno was a justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and a judge at the Nuremberg War Crimes trial.

When he was a young legislator in the 1930s, Musmanno was involved in a coal mining case, and he wrote a book about it.

The movie had the same title.

Was the movie A, Black Gold, with Anthony Quinn, B, Black Fury, with Paul Muni, C, Black Hand, with Gene Kelly, or D, Black Tuesday, with Edward G. Robinson?

- [Lynn Hines] Now, I can tell you, Bernie, that those are all real movies.

And they're all real stars.

And they do match up.

But which one was the movie that Michael Musmanno wrote about?

Famous coal mining case in Pennsylvania.

- Black gold has a nice sincere ring to it, and it sounds like an old miner's folk song.

- [Lynn Hines] And Anthony Quinn is a great actor.

- And Anthony Quinn is a born coal miner.

- Sal, I mean Steve.

(laughter) - Yeah, I like Anthony Quinn too.

- Do you?

- Let's go with him.

- [Lynn Hines] Miss Cullen.

- Come on, let's be wrong together.

- [Lynn Hines] She's thinking about this one.

- Yeah, well, right, black.

- [Steve] It's gotta be "Black Gold."

- Black gold, you think of as oil now, but I suppose it could've been.

- [Lynn Hines] You're gonna be sucked in by these two guys, huh?

- No, I really, I arrived at this all, really.

- Did you?

- All on my own.

- It's amazing how three people can start from a different direction and all get to the wrong answer at the same time.

- [Narrator] The answer is B, "Black Fury," with Paul Muni.

The film was about the terrible conditions of the coal miner.

"Black Fury" was so controversial that it was banned in Pennsylvania for several years.

- "Black Fury" was about the coal and iron police, and coal mining strikes, and it was banned in Pennsylvania, was so controversial.

For several years, you couldn't see it.

I love this next question.

This is just a delightful question.

Just listen, you'll be delighted, I'm sure.

Never get this one.

- [Narrator] In 1683, Margaret Mattson became the first woman in Pennsylvania to be tried for a certain crime.

Was she the first woman tried for being A, a witch, B, a bigamist, C, a common scold, or D, a drunkard?

- Steve, we start with- - Common scold?

- There was a law at Pennsylvania, in many towns, against being a common scold.

- You've got a common scold.

(laughter) - It's a common cold.

It's like being a nag.

A woman could not be a nag in public, or she could be prosecuted as a common scold.

- [Bernie] Are you trying to sell us that answer?

- No, I'm not trying to sell you that answer.

That might be the wrong answer, I don't know.

I don't remember.

Steve, it's your choice, quickly.

- The bigamists come in August or October.

That's what we learned earlier, right?

Bigamists, the fog.

(laughter) - Oh, brother.

- Did you like that?

I don't believe the stuff about scold and all.

- Good that you went into psychology.

- He said quickly!

- And people couldn't drink back then, so I'm gonna go with witch.

- Which witch?

Oh A, yes.

Lynn?

- I've been called a harridan, which is like being a common scold.

- Harridan, sure.

- And I just love it.

I'd be delighted if she were, yeah.

- I really wanna go with common scold too, but I'm gonna, you know, I really want to, but I love Margaret Mattson being a bigamist, and I always imagine she was one.

(laughter) - The only woman in Pennsylvania ever tried for this.

- [Narrator] The answer is A, a witch.

Tried in Philadelphia in 1683, Margaret Mattson was the defendant in Pennsylvania's only witchcraft trial.

She was found not guilty.

- She was found not guilty.

(applause) However, they said she was a common scold.

(laughter) - That's probably right.

- The score has tightened considerably.

It is Asbell three, Cullen three, and Ragusea two.

That's real close.

- I'm trying.

- Let's hear it for yourself.

Give yourself some applause.

(applause) Clue number three.

When he won an Oscar in 1940, it went on display in his dad's hardware store.

Now I don't know how more obvious I can be than that.

By the way, while you're thinking about that, if you got a question for us, send it to us in care of Pennsylvania Game, Wagner Annex, University Park, 16802.

Okay, Lynn Cullen, your turn first.

Who is our mystery Pennsylvanian?

- I got him on the first one.

- [Lynn Hines] Who'd you think it was?

- Jimmy Stewart.

- Jimmy Stewart, oh.

- Or James Stewart.

- Or James Stewart.

Bernie?

- I drew a blank.

I'm still thinking of Margaret Mattson's Philadelphia lawyer who got her off.

- [Lynn Hines] I see.

And let's see if Steve and Lynn are correct.

- [Narrator] Jimmy Stewart of Indiana, Pennsylvania, took his place among Hollywood's greats when he won an Oscar in 1940 for "The Philadelphia Story."

But he's appeared in many endearing films, such as "Harvey."

Jimmy Stewart's shy, awkward manner is far different from the typical leading man, but few could equal his accomplishments in a variety of roles.

When Jimmy Stewart received the State's Distinguished Artist Award in 1980, he expressed his pride in being a Pennsylvanian.

- It's a great privilege for me to be back here.

The awards, of course you know, the Hollywoods have been on a sort of an award kick since as long as I can remember.

But I don't know, this award and everything that has to do with this award has a very great, special significance to me.

And I'm very proud to be here to receive this.

And also, it's a wonderful privilege and a pleasure for me to be back in Pennsylvania.

- That makes Miss Cullen the winner, I believe.

And let's hear it for our panel.

See you next time.

(applause) So long.

(mellow music) - [Narrator] The Pennsylvania Game has been made possible in part by Uni Marts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

(cheerful music) And from Landmark.

And Landmark is A, a savings and loan, B, a bank, C, a leading mortgage lender, or D, all of the above?

The correct answer is D, all of the above.

People to people: It's just a better way to bank.

(applause) (mellow music)
