(bright music) - [Announcer] Perry County lies just west of Dauphin County, where you'll find Harrisburg, our state capitol.

But in Perry County, there is something you will not find.

Do you know what you will not find in all of Perry County?

(upbeat electro music) You're invited to play "The Pennsylvania Game."

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

"The Pennsylvania Game" is made possible in part by Uni-Mart's Incorporated with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

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

(bright music) And by the Pennsylvania Public Television Network.

(upbeat electro music) Now let's get the game started.

Here's the host of "The Pennsylvania Game," Lynn Hinds.

(audience applauding) - Thank you.

Hey, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Panel.

Hello there.

Good to see you.

We have got some crackerjack questions and we got a crackerjack panel and a crackerjack audience in our studio, I might say.

We've got Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts from Milesburg, Pennsylvania, some folks from Somerset County, and some people here representing the Business and Professional Women's Club of State College.

And we hope you're ready to play as they are with our panel.

He's back.

He writes, he teaches, and he guesses on "The Pennsylvania Game," Bernie Asbell.

(audience applauding) Our guest panelist today played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and is now a Vice President at Penn State.

Let's welcome Bill Asbury.

(audience applauding) And she roots for the Steelers on her radio program in Pittsburgh, Lynn Cullen.

(audience applauding) Now were I to ask in what county our capital is, Harrisburg, you'd all say Dauphin County.

You know that.

And Dauphin County, with a busy metropolis like Harrisburg, has a lot of people and a lot going.

But right next to Dauphin County is Perry County.

- [Announcer] Perry County, named after the American naval hero Commodore Perry, is located adjacent to busy Dauphin County, home of the state capitol.

(cheerful music) Despite its proximity to a prominent urban center, Perry County has retained its country roots.

In fact, it is so rural, it has no A, movie theaters or restaurants, B, traffic lights or parking meters, C, high schools or colleges, or D, radio or television stations?

- Okay, rural Perry County.

By the way, we here at WPSX in cooperation with the publishers of "Pennsylvania Magazine" would like to send a year subscription to "Pennsylvania Magazine," to John Shotzberger of Duncannon for sending that question in.

Bernie, what do they not have?

This is one of those, Perry County is so rural.

How rural is it?

- Gee, I'd like to really come up with something clever, but there are lots of counties that don't have radio or television stations.

And I'd say that's the one.

- So you're going with D. - Yeah.

- The folks in Perry County, by the way, would like to keep it this way, I think.

They love their county.

Bill?

- Well, this is a tough one.

I've probably been through Perry County, but I would guess there's gotta be a movie theater there and probably at least one traffic light.

So I'm gonna agree that radio and television station's probably a good answer.

- [Lynn] Okay.

Miss Cullen, we have two D's.

- Well, I think you're gonna have three.

I hate- - Really?

- Yeah, I hate to be repetitive.

Whenever we do this, we're all wrong.

- [Lynn] I know, yeah.

- My heavens, they've gotta have a high school.

They gotta have kids there.

They gotta have one car or two.

They've gotta have a restaurant.

They don't need a movie theater.

And even though I work in radio and television, you don't have to have radio and TV.

- You all are so urbanized.

You don't remember what it's like to live in a rural county.

What do they not have?

- [Lynn Cullen] We're wrong.

- [Announcer] The answer is B, traffic lights or parking meters.

(audience laughs) Perry County is proud that with a population of only 35,000, it is small and peaceful enough that even Duncannon, its largest city, can happily do without either of these annoyances.

(cheerful music) A distinction that makes the county highly popular with motorists.

- Traffic lights.

- I gotta tell you, I could do without traffic lights and parking meters, I think too.

They are a nuisance.

- Why would a county want a radio station and not a parking meter?

- Well, I would rather listen to the radio than park and put a quarter in a parking meter, for heaven sakes.

Let's go back to Pittsburgh.

And this is, I guess, Bill, you were, you played for the Steelers in the '60s, and Miss Cullen, you came to Pittsburgh in 1970, '70s.

- No, 1980, yeah.

- 80?

- This goes back before you, but there was a radio program that really predates "The Amateur Hour," and it turned into Pittsburgh's first television program.

It's an interesting question.

- [Announcer] Wilkins Jewelers sponsored Pittsburgh's first regular television program, "The Wilkins Amateur Hour," in 1950.

The company had begun in 1905.

The program had begun on radio in the early 1930s.

In 1970, after owner Lou Silverman's death, his two sons, Alan and James, founded a new business.

Was that new business A, Domino's Pizza, B, National Record Mart, C, Denny's Restaurant, or D, David Weis?

- Go all the way back to the 1930s and "The Wilkins Amateur Hour."

And that theme, by the way, anybody in Pittsburgh who's lived there a long time will recognize that.

♪ Easy credit ♪ ♪ Easy credit ♪ ♪ Wilkins is the place where you can get it ♪ It was a marvelous theme and one of the most popular shows around.

And when WDTV built their TV studio in 1950, this was the first regular television show.

Well, the sons of the owner started a new business in 1970.

And Bill Asbury, I simply wanna know what business did they start?

You're first.

- Well, I'm tempted to, to assume that they're associated with the entertainment business.

And on the basis of that, I'm gonna, I know that you're not supposed to do this, but I'm gonna go with my first hunch and go with National Record Mart.

- National Record Mart, okay.

Miss Cullen?

- [Lynn Cullen] Oh, I think you are supposed to do that.

- [Lynn] Yeah, it's as good as anything.

- I don't want this guy to think I'm, you know, copying him all the time.

Domino's was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I believe.

I can't remember what you said the name was, but it wasn't David Weis.

So why if the sons were founding a thing would they call it David Weis?

- [Lynn] Lou Silverman was their father's name and his son's name, Alan and James.

- So how would their name be David Weis?

I mean, who's David Weis?

(Bill laughing) And I would agree, you were singing a song a moment ago.

Records.

It made me think of National Record Mart, B.

- [Lynn] Easy credit.

Yes, Bernie?

- Well, I think all the signs point to the National Record Mart, but my first hunch is Denny's.

- Ah-ha.

And do you have any theory or any evidence or any- - Just a hunch, my heart tells me.

You know?

- Yeah, all the way back when the two sons started a business.

What business did the two sons start?

The answer may surprise you.

- [Announcer] The answer is D, David Weis.

(audience applauding) The first store opened in Monroeville and today there are 28 David Weis stores in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.

The second largest privately owned catalog showroom firm, David Weis specializes in jewelry, small appliances, electronics, and home goods.

(cheerful music) - Sure.

It was a marvelous program.

- I knew that.

- Well, they bought, they bought a business called David Weis that was a small wholesale and turned it into David Weis, which is really expanding and doing very, very well and has very, very fine merchandise.

- [Lynn Cullen] I'm never shopping there again.

- I think, by the way, though, that National Record Mart did start in Pittsburgh, if I'm not mistaken.

So you had the right local.

- [Bernie] Actually, David Weis went on to, found Denny's restaurant.

- Is that correct?

- Oh, yes.

- Is that what happened?

- Oh, yeah.

- Bill Asbury.

- It's too logical.

- Bill Asbury was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, went to Kent State where he played football and into the Steelers.

You were with the Steelers in the '60s for several years, weren't you, Bill?

- A few years, yes.

- [Lynn] You don't have any Super Bowl rings on your fingers from the '60s, Steelers.

You were about, what, 10 years too soon?

- Yeah, I think the Steelers at that point were a very entertaining team.

- [Lynn] They were, they were, they were.

- We had great fans and we played in Pitt Stadium and it was, it was an interesting time.

Cardiac Hill.

- Yeah.

- You had to climb, 'cause there was no parking around, you had to climb all the way up from down below the local main thoroughfare there.

And we had some great games.

- I took my son to a game at Pitt Stadium to see the Steelers play and we parked up on the hill and went across this large field and I thought, "Hey, we didn't have to cope with the hill."

It rained during the day, during the game.

Going back we were into our knees, literally, in the mud.

So, and, but from the Steelers, you've come here to Penn State and you're now Vice President in charge of student services.

And you've been here since 1976.

- '76.

- [Lynn] So you have probably about as many years in Pennsylvania as you had any place else.

- Well, not quite.

- [Lynn] Not yet.

- I grew up in Ohio and I didn't leave Ohio until 1976, as a matter of fact, so.

- Well, I got out of Ohio back in 1977.

But (clears throat) we're glad to have you here.

- Yes.

Good.

- People, I think, and Ms. Cullen of course is from Green Bay.

I've learned to say Green Bay rather than Green Bay.

- That's right.

Green Bay.

- Lynn] But people, and you too, Bernie, who adopt Pennsylvania sometimes appreciate it as much or maybe even more than the folks who just sort of grew up and taken it for granted.

Pennsylvania is a great state.

- I think that's true.

It's like, you know, religious converts tend to be more religious than the people who were born into the religion.

It's true.

- [Lynn] We got good baseball and football teams at each end of the state.

- And I think Bill's days on the Steelers is a good preparation for this game because we never win here either.

(audience laughs) - Did you play in the days of, "Hey-diddle-diddle, Rogel in the middle?"

Was that before your time?

- No, that was before my time.

As was John Henry Johnson.

- Let's take a railroad train all the way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, see what we find.

- [Announcer] In 1858, the Pennsylvania Railroad made its first run all the way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.

On that first run, it introduced something to American railroading for the first time.

Was it A, a conductor?

B, a caboose, C, an air brake, or D, a smoking car?

- Okay, Ms. Cullen, your turn to start.

We only want know in 1858 when the Pennsy Railroad made its first run all the way from the city of brotherly love to Pittsburgh, which was a smoke city in those days, what did they introduce to railroading for the very first time?

- Well, I think it's E, air pollution.

Did you see that?

- [Lynn] Well, we took a little of that.

Yes, it did.

- Looked like more than one car smoking.

I don't have the slightest idea, as is usual.

So, let's go with a caboose.

- A caboose.

- Yeah.

- That's the probably the cutest answer.

Yes, Bernie?

Are you going for cute or are you going for something else?

- I assume you're talking about passenger service.

- [Lynn] I'm talking about a train that went from Philadelphia to...

So I don't know if they had passenger service.

- Well I find there are usually hidden clues in those pictures you gotta watch out for.

I'm gonna say smoking car 'cause there was so much smoke.

- I see.

You think that was not all from the engine.

Part of it was from cigars.

- No, that was trying to tell us something.

- Mr. Asbury, sir.

- Well, now what was that date again?

- [Lynn] 858.

- 1858.

- Yeah.

- Well, these two have chosen very interesting and certainly logical answers.

I'm gonna choose a different one simply to be different and choose A.

Conductor.

- They put a passenger and said, "Who are you, sir?"

And he said, "I am the conductor of this rig."

And they said, "What is a conductor?"

And he said, "I don't know.

It's my first time too."

What's the right answer here?

- [Announcer] The answer is D, a smoking car.

(audience applauding) George Westinghouse revolutionized railroading with his air brake in 1869.

But the smoking car came first.

(uplifting music) - [Bill] Look at all that smoke.

- Isn't that neat footage?

I love those old trains.

It was a smoking car.

I mean, back in those days you couldn't travel without smoking, I guess.

Well, I have to say that Bernie just took a commanding lead by getting the first question right.

It's one to nothing in favor of Bernie.

Mild applause.

(audience applauding) Let's see how they do with the Mystery Pennsylvanian.

We'll give you three clues during the course of the show and here's clue number one.

Born in Philadelphia in 1901, she reached stardom in stage musicals and operettas on Broadway.

The first clue generally orients you just to the right kind of, you know, area.

So you may not know it on the first clue.

But born in Philly 1901, she reached stardom in stage musicals and operettas on Broadway.

They're thinking.

They're looking puzzled.

They're looking stunned.

The clues will be more obvious as we go along.

Let's go to Donora, Pennsylvania.

We had De Nora on once before for some air pollution, but something else in Donora.

- [Announcer] Donora, a prosperous industrial city in Washington County, is proud to be the hometown of two of the great figures of sports.

Which two of the following were born in Donora?

A, Tommy LaSorda and Mickey Lolich, B, Jack Ham and George Blanda, C, Stan Musial and Ken Griffey, or D, Johnny Unitas and Dick Vitale?

- Okay, I believe we're back to you Bernie, on this one.

Are we not?

- Do we have to be?

- [Lynn] It'd be nice.

Two of them from Donora and there are some great names there.

- There's some great names there.

Well, let's try Jack Ham and George Blanda.

They're as good as anybody else.

- Okay, both of them are fabulous, fabulous football players.

- Football players.

- Bill Asbury, which two are from Donora is the question, of course.

- Well, I should know this answer.

I just saw Jack Ham last night, but I don't think- - [Bernie] He didn't tell you where he was born?

- I don't think Jack is from Donora.

So I'm going to say D and choose Johnny Unitas and Dick Vitale only because I think Johnny Unitas would make a good contribution from Donora.

- Miss Cullen, ma'am.

You've got the wisdom now of the two gentlemen, which helps a lot, doesn't it?

- Do I look like an idiot here?

(Lynn laughs) I know, yeah.

Johnny Unitas is from around there someplace.

So is Blanda.

Oh, I hate this game, I hate this game.

- Do you?

- I do.

- You play it so well.

- Oh!

- [Lynn] You're going with Unitas also.

- Which is the kiss of death for my partner.

- Yes, that's- - The Steelers turned him down 'cause they didn't think he'd ever be a football player.

Well which two are from Donora?

- [Announcer] The answer is C, Stan Musial and Ken Griffey.

(audience applauding) Stan the Man Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals was born in Donora in 1920.

He played for the Cardinals from 1941 to 1963, winning three Most Valuable Player awards and seven batting championships.

Ken Griffey was born in Donora in 1950.

Towards the end of a career that included stints with the Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves, and New York Yankees, Griffey enjoyed the distinction of being part of the only father-son team to play Major League baseball at the same time.

His son, Ken Griffey Jr, is an outfielder for the Seattle Mariners.

- Doing real well.

I'm not sure where Tommy Lasorda and Mickey Lolich are from.

Are they from Pennsylvania too?

We don't know, but we do know Jack Ham is from Johnstown, George Blanda from Youngwood, and Johnny Unitas is from Pittsburgh.

So, a lot of famous names around there.

I love this next question.

It goes back to pre-revolutionary times in Pittsburgh, but it's a dynamite question.

You might get it right.

- [Announcer] The English trading post in Fort Pitt was evidence of the goodwill with Native Americans before war between British and French forced the Indian peoples to choose sides.

The Indians brought furs and venison to trade for clothing and for powder, shot, and knives.

Exchange prices were reckoned in a term that we use for money today.

Was that term A, fin, B, buck, C, dollar, or D, bit?

- Okay.

Exchange terms at the English trading post at Fort Pitt back before the Revolutionary War, were a term that we use for money today.

Those pictures, by the way, were all from the Fort Pitt Museum.

Beautiful museum.

Go see it if you're in Pittsburgh.

But Bill Asbury, what was the term that we still use today?

- Well, it seems to me we still use all of those terms.

Two bits, a dollar, a buck, a fin.

Trading post, buck, deer.

I'm gonna go with B.

- [Lynn] You're going with buck, okay.

Ms. Cullen?

- He keeps taking the words right outta my mouth.

I kept sounding like a- - [Lynn] Put 'em back in.

- Well, you said they said the Indians- - [Bernie] Don't choose it.

- No, I know.

I've taken every one.

We got two goose eggs up there.

I'm an idiot.

I'm gonna do it again.

You said venison and furs is what the Indians brought.

- Well of course.

- Well- - [Lynn] What else would they bring?

- Well that's right.

Venison, bucks, right?

- Okay, all right.

- It's the only thing that makes any sense, which means it's wrong but I'm going with it.

- Okay with me.

Bernie?

- [Lynn Cullen] Got a streak going.

- Well, I'm gonna be the only brave man person here.

And- - A dollar.

- Yeah, sure.

- You're staying with the Indian genre there with the brave man.

- Sure, sure.

- Two say buck and one says dollar.

- It's the only one that doesn't make any sense.

- Nobody says bit and nobody says fin.

What's the answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is B, buck.

(audience applauding) A buck then was one fall male deer skin.

For one buck you could get two does, six raccoons or four foxes.

One blanket cost four bucks.

A tin kettle, three bucks.

A shirt, two bucks.

Four small knives or a pair of stockings cost just one buck.

(cheerful music) - A buck went a lot farther in those days than it does.

- [Bill] Hard to catch.

- Fin I'm not sure about.

Dollar is from the German thaler.

T-H-A-L-E-R. Thaler.

And bit is from the old English bite.

Anything, any small coin was called a bite or a bit.

Two bits is just two small coins.

- Is that because you would bite it in your teeth to see if it were real?

- It could be.

But, you know, you guys are doing well.

The score.

Oh my goodness.

It's tied.

Everybody has one right.

Equal applause.

(audience applauding) Sometimes the obvious is the obvious.

What can I tell you?

- That's right.

- Clue number two to our Mystery Pennsylvanian.

Paramount signed her in 1929 and cast her opposite Maurice Chevalier in a movie called "Love Parade."

She was to sing her way to movie stardom.

Clue number one, you'll recall, born in Philadelphia, 1901.

Musicals, operettas on Broadway, and then Paramount signed her in 1921, cast her opposite Maurice Chevalier, the great balladeer of the French, in a movie called "Love Parade."

She was to sing her way to movie stardom.

Our address, should you want to write to us to send us a question or just a comment, "The Pennsylvania Game" Wagner Annex University Park, 16802.

In 1990, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of a great Pennsylvania landmark.

It's something called the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

- [Announcer] Drivers today are used to seeing the double nickels that spell out the 55 mile an hour speed limit.

But when it opened October 1st, 1940, the speed limit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike was not 55.

What was the limit?

A, 35, B, 45, C, 70, or D, no limit?

- 1940 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the nation's first superhighway, what was the speed limit?

It was not 55 and that's all we're gonna tell you.

Lynn Cullen, what was it?

- I'm, just because I'd love to see it return, yeah, I'm gonna assume it's like, you know, the German Audubon doesn't have a limit.

- Really?

- They don't.

- [Lynn] So you're gonna say it's- - [Bernie] And they drive like that too, you know.

- [Lynn] You're gonna say D. Is that what you're gonna say?

- I am, I am.

- [Lynn] Bernie, do you agree there was no limit?

- No, I'm gonna say C. And you know- - 70.

- 70.

And I think it's safe to say now 'cause Bill is gonna come up with an intelligent answer, two years later it would've been 35.

- [Lynn] Is that right?

- Because after- - Rationing, and gasoline.

- Right after Pearl Harbor, we went on a 35 mile speed limit nationally.

- Yeah, I certainly slowed down after Pearl Harbor.

Bill?

- Well, it's hard to tell.

I don't know the answer to this.

I would not say 70 only because it used to be 70 in my memory.

In '40, I wasn't driving at that point.

I'm gonna say D. - [Lynn] No limit.

- No limit.

- All right.

How fast could you go on the Pennsylvania Turnpike without a smokey pulling you over back in 1940?

- [Announcer] The answer is D, no limit.

(audience applauding) The Pennsylvania Turnpike opened at 12:01 AM on October 1st, 1940.

No ceremony and no speed limit.

Free of sharp curves and steep grades, the nation's first superhighway was a marvel of construction.

Families often went for a Sunday spin on the Super, sometimes pulling over to picnic on the way.

In its first year, the Turnpike carried just over 2 million vehicles.

Today it handles about 100 million cars and trucks each year.

- I don't mean to editorialize, but if you go 55 on the Turnpike, you're in danger of getting run over.

Alexander Calder, famous sculptor, had a father whose name was Alexander Calder.

- [Announcer] Philadelphia born, Alexander Calder is famous for his mobiles.

His father, also named Alexander Calder, was a well-known sculptor as well.

The Senior Calder designed what is still the largest sculpture on any building in the world.

Did he design A, Billy Penn on Philadelphia's City Hall, B, The Weeping Liberty on the capitol in Harrisburg, C, the Statue of Justice on the Capitol in Washington, DC, or D, the Statue of Columbia on Union Station in St. Louis?

- Okay, we can't get all those on the screen at the same time.

So you can look off the card, Bernie.

The answer is not circled.

Alexander Calder Sr. designed the largest statue on any building in the world.

Which building did, or which statue did he design is all we want to know.

- Well, first we eliminate Billy Penn on Philly City Hall.

That's just too obvious, isn't it?

Let's go for... Hmm!

- Hmm, it's not on there.

- Yeah.

No, it's not on there.

I think he went to St. Louis.

- [Lynn] Okay, all right.

Bill Asbury, what do you think?

You can pass that card if you can't see all the choices.

- Billy, Billy Penn.

The only sense I have about this is that that probably is an obvious one.

But I recall a little controversy a year or two ago about, in Philadelphia, about not having any building higher than Billy Penn's hat.

So with that, I'm going to go with Billy Penn.

- [Lynn] Miss Cullen?

- [Lynn Cullen] I take it Billy Penn is William?

- William Penn, yes.

- But they're very familiar with him and- - Well yeah, he's been around a long time.

- Yes, yes.

- That seems a little disrespectful to me.

- [Lynn] He likes it.

- [Bill] We could have called him Willie.

(Lynn Cullen laughs) - He likes it.

- Oh, I don't have...

This is getting to be rather dull, me saying I don't have the slightest idea.

- [Lynn] It's all right.

It's okay.

- Well, I don't, but I'm finally going to break away from my partner here for no good reason whatsoever and go with C. We'll go to Washington.

- Okay.

What is the largest statue of on any building in the world?

Hmm?

- The answer is A, Billy Penn.

Philadelphia City Hall had its groundbreaking in 1871, its cornerstone lane in 1874, and wasn't finished until 1901.

But in 1893, its courtyard attraction was the 37 feet tall, 27 ton statue of William Penn.

Today the huge statue stands 548 feet above the street.

Billy Penn faces northeast toward the site in Kensington where Penn made his treaty with the Indians.

(cheerful music) - When I saw that picture in the courtyard, I couldn't believe it.

'Cause up high didn't look that big, but down low, wow, does it look big.

We're going Mifflin County for our next question.

Mifflin County.

- [Announcer] In 1786 a young Britisher named Archibald Hunter took up farming in central Pennsylvania and practiced a holiday custom from his native land that is still observed today.

Did Archibald Hunter A, eat goose on Goose Day, B, dress in costume on All Hollow's Eve, C, hang mistletoe at Christmas, or D, dye eggs at Easter?

- [Lynn] Real quick.

All right, what did he do?

1786.

He brought it from Britain.

What was the custom that he brought from Britain?

Which of those four?

- Well, Mifflinburg, I'm gonna say C. Hang mistletoe.

- Hang mistletoe at Christmas and stand under it and get kissed a lot.

Lynn Cullen?

- That's what I was gonna say because Archibald's nickname was Pucker Up.

- Pucker Up, I see.

Okay, Pucker Up Archie.

Here we go.

What do you say?

- I hate being last, but I think he invented Halloween.

- [Lynn] You think he invented Halloween?

- Yep, the costumes.

- Okay, we have a couple of mistletoes and a Halloween.

Nobody picked the other two.

What'd you cover at home?

- [Announcer] The answer is A, eat goose on Goose Day.

(audience applauding) Michaelmas, or Goose Day, is still celebrated in Lewistown in Mifflin County every September 29th.

According to an English proverb, if you eat goose on Michaelmas, you'll not want for money all the year round.

(cheerful music) - Eat goose on Michaelmas and you'll be all right.

Last clue.

We gotta hurry a little bit.

In the 1930s, she was half of the most successful singing partnership in musical film history.

In the 1930s, she was half of the most successful singing partnership.

Born in Philly, 1902, Paramount signed her 1921.

Bernie's writing there.

Ms. Cullen, you have something?

♪ I'll be calling you ♪ - [Lynn] On line two.

Janette McDonald.

- Janette McDonald.

- [Lynn] Bill's trying to think of it.

And on line three, Bernie, you have Janette McDonald, okay.

- How's that for fickle?

- It's tough to pull a name out of the air like that.

Let's see if it is indeed.

"When I'm Calling You," Janette McDonald.

Who is our Mystery Pennsylvanian?

- [Announcer] Born in Philadelphia, Janette McDonald is best remembered for the film she made with Nelson Eddy, "Naughty Marietta," "Rose-Marie," "New Moon."

At the height of their popularity, they were known as America's sweethearts.

Janette McDonald also appeared in the operatic role of Juliet opposite Ezio Pinza's Romeo.

She went on to make several films in the 1940s, but Janette McDonald is best remembered for her duets with Nelson Eddy, such as "Indian Love Call."

Janette McDonald, a famous Pennsylvanian.

(audience applauding) - Jeanette McDonald, indeed a famous Pennsylvanian.

With getting the Mystery Pennsylvanian right, Ms Cullen tied the score.

So Bill Asbury and Lynn Cullen ended up with three right.

Let's hear it for our two contestants.

(audience applauding) - Very good.

- Congratulations.

- [Lynn] Bernie was only one back.

So Bill, I hope you had a good time.

We enjoyed having you here.

- Great time.

I hope I have a chance to come back.

This is a good opportunity.

- You got too many right.

We'll never invite you back.

That's the secret.

- All guesses.
