(bright music) - [Announcer] Dandelions are not native to North America.

European settlers brought them along when they came to Pennsylvania to find a new home.

They also brought a popular vegetable which at one time was thought to be poisonous.

Do you know what vegetable it was?

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-Mart Incorporated with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

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

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

Here's the host of the Pennsylvania game, Lynn Hinds.

- Here he is, yes.

(audience applauds) Here he is, here's Lynnie.

Well, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you very much.

We are delighted you could join us and delighted to have in our studio audience again Junior Girl Scout Troop 1200 from Lemont/Houserville, and they're here to cheer on our panelist.

He's back and ready to play against two native Pennsylvanians tonight, Bernie Asbell.

Let's hear it for Bernie.

(audience applauds) And she's a native of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, Lisa Salters.

(audience applauds) And a native of, guess where?

Millheim, Pennsylvania in Centre County, Jayne Miller.

All right.

(audience applauds) I don't think I have any center Pennsylvania questions, Jayne.

Anyway, we've got some good questions for you, and the first one is about, did you know that dandelions were not native, that somebody actually brought those things over here, but they brought something else, too.

Let's listen.

- [Announcer] Europeans who settled Colonial Pennsylvania introduced a food to North America.

Once thought to be poisonous, by the 20th century, it had become the state's leading cash crop.

Was it the A, potato, B, tomato, C, mushroom, or D, grape?

- Okay, Europeans brought along those dreaded dandelions and they also brought a vegetable thought to be poisonous, and by the 20th century, it had become the state's leading cash crop.

They're all getting their cards ready.

Bernie, what card have you got ready for us?

- Well, our economy has grown like mushrooms, I would say.

- [Lynn] So you think it's mushrooms?

- Yeah.

- And that's what it is.

- Yeah.

- Okay, and they, I guess, were thought to be poisonous.

Lisa Salters.

- I'm gonna go with Bernie, mushrooms.

- [Lynn] You're going with the mushrooms, too?

- Because some mushrooms still are poisonous.

- That's true, and you've gotta know the difference.

Jayne?

- I think mushrooms is the answer, too.

I mean, Kennett Square is the mushroom capital of the world.

- [Lynn] Uh-huh, it is.

- I'll go with C, and maybe we're all wrong.

- [Lynn] You're all going with C?

- Okay?

- I'll be darned, they all went with mushrooms.

Are they right or wrong, audience?

What do you think?

- [Audience] Wrong.

- Wrong, they say.

Let's see.

- [Announcer] The answer is A, the potato.

The potato is now ranked second only to corn as America's contribution to the world food supply.

Discovered in South America, the potato was brought to North America by European settlers.

Thought to be poisonous to humans, potatoes were raised mostly for cattle feed until the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s encouraged production, with Washington County becoming the leading grower.

European settlers also brought rice, wheat, grapes, Kentucky bluegrass, and dandelions.

- Isn't that a marvelous field of dandelions?

I thought you'd say tomatoes because people thought tomatoes were poisonous till about 1875.

But Colonial Pennsylvania people only fed potatoes to, like, pigs and cattle because they thought humans couldn't eat 'em.

So there you go.

- [Lisa] It's a rotten question.

- It's a rotten question and a rotten potato.

Gouverneur Morris, not governor, Gouverneur Morris was a guy that signed the constitution, was a Pennsylvania Senator, star of the Constitutional Convention, said something.

- [Announcer] Gouverneur Morris once wrote about a city, "We lack here only houses, wine cellars, learned men, amiable women, and other trifles to make our city perfect."

Was he speaking of A, Washington, DC, B, York, C, New York, or D, Philadelphia?

- Well that's a good question.

Which of those was he speaking of?

Gouverneur Morris, who ought to be more famous, 'cause he had a lot to do with our US constitution, more than people think.

He was talking about a city when he said, "We only lack houses, wine cellars, learned men, amiable women, and other trifles like that to make the city perfect."

Which city, Lisa, was he talking about?

You get to go first on this one.

(sighs) - Let's see, the closest one to King of Prussia is Philadelphia, so let's go with Philly.

- [Lynn] Uh-huh, you're going with good old Philly.

Okay, what do you say, Jayne?

- I'm gonna say Washington 'cause I think it's still that way.

- You think it still lacks learned men and amiable women?

More learned men or more, nevermind.

Bernie, what do you say?

- We lack houses?

- [Lynn] Yeah, he said we lack houses and wine cellars and- - I'm just charmed by it being York.

- York, PA, 'cause the capital at one time was in York, Pennsylvania.

- That's right.

- I see.

What's the answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is A, Washington, DC.

Philadelphia had built a president's home, but Washington and Adams preferred to live in the home of Robert Morris.

And then on Saturday, November 1st, 1800, President Adams moved from Philadelphia to the new Capitol.

That night he walked up the staircase with a single candle to light his way.

The next morning, he wrote his famous benediction for the White House, "I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it.

May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."

- Yeah, that was John Adamss.

And of course, that's come to pass.

None but honorable and wise men have ever ruled there.

Gouverneur Morris, so the first house built for a president was in Philadelphia, and Adams actually moved from the house built in Philadelphia to the new White House.

But Gouverneur Morris said that Washington was really a bad place, and he also said there were only two places of amusement, a racetrack and a theater.

What more would you need?

He also said that the theater was filled with tobacco, this is a quote, "Tobacco smoke, whiskey breath and other stenches mixed with the effluvia of stables and the miasmas of canal."

I don't know what that means, but boy, doesn't that sound ugly?

(laughs) Let's talk to our guests a little bit.

Lisa Salters I'm kinda proud of 'cause Lisa was a student here at Penn State, student of mine, as a matter of fact, and is down in Baltimore now as a television reporter and doing well, I understand.

- I'm doing okay.

- [Lynn] Was it as bad as I told you it'd be out there in the real world?

- It's definitely a shock.

- Is it?

- A real shock.

- The reports are good and you love it, don't you?

- I love it.

It's, there's no experience like being out there and doing it.

- Yeah.

- And I'd have it no other way.

- And originally, as we said, from King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

- Correct.

- Glad to have you back.

- Thank you.

- Jayne Miller is from Millheim, works with Lisa and does a good job.

- I'm not a recent graduate.

- [Lynn] Her teachers are proud of her.

She must've had great teachers, Jayne.

- Well, we're all very proud of her.

- [Lynn] Where is Millheim exactly?

- Millheim is in the center of Pennsylvania.

- [Lynn] Uh-huh, okay, the geographic, right near- - Tiny town, one red light.

- [Bernie] A great hotel.

- And I'm, that's correct, that is correct.

And I'm proud to be a native of Millheim.

- How did you end up in Baltimore?

- Through several cities.

I'm a graduate of Penn State.

Worked in Harrisburg as a television reporter.

Worked for a Pittsburgh station, went to Baltimore, worked for CBS for a few years, back in Baltimore, and I love it.

- [Lynn] You've crammed a lot into only- - Carpet bagging, that's the name of the game.

- A few years out of Penn State.

- That's right.

- We're delighted to have you both back.

Do you both like to ride horses at all?

You like to horse around at all?

- [Jayne] I love it.

- Question's about a famous horse.

- Oh no.

- Almost famous horse.

- [Announcer] General Robert E. Lee's horse Traveller is one of history's most famous mounts, but Lee's opponent at Gettysburg, the Pennsylvanian who commanded the Union Army, General George Gordon Meade, had a bay horse equal to Lee's.

Did General Meade call his horse A, Baldy, B, Champion, C, Scout, or D, Old Snapping Turtle?

(audience laughs) - Well, everybody knows about Robert E. Lee's horse Traveller, but the Union General at Gettysburg was from Pennsylvania and he had a horsey, too.

And what was his horse's name?

Jayne Miller, you get to start on this one.

- I would say if he was proud of his horse, he'd call it Champion.

- [Lynn] Champion, okay.

Bernie?

- I'd say if he was really proud of his horse and he was an honest man, he'd call it Baldy.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

- [Lynn] Okay.

All right.

Lisa?

- I have no reason and I'm just gonna call him Scout.

- Scout.

Get 'em up, Scout.

Nobody picked Old Snapping Turtle.

That's kind of a nice name for a horse, I thought.

What did General Meade call his horse?

- [Announcer] The answer is A, Baldy.

General Meade was almost captured at Gettysburg when Baldy panicked and bolted toward the Confederate lines.

Baldy was retired after being shot in the ribs at Gettysburg, his fourth wound of the Civil War, but he lived to march in the funeral of General Meade in 1872.

Meade's nickname, by the way, was Old Snapping Turtle.

- Yeah, they called Meade himself Old Snapping Turtle.

He did have eyes that were little bit like a turtle eyes, I guess.

Champion, of course, was Gene Autry's horse, and Scout was Tonto's horse.

I thought you guys would know that and therefore get, well, the score, well, Bernie and Jayne are tied.

Let's hear it for Bernie on the one end and Jayne on the other.

(audience applauds) Lisa's not far behind, so this is not over yet.

Mystery Pennsylvanian.

There'll be three clues to the mystery Pennsylvanian, and clue number one is this.

If you know it, panel, write it right on the first line.

Born in Allegheny in 1894.

Allegheny is now the north side of Pittsburgh, I'll tell you that.

Born in Allegheny, 1894.

Moved to California at age 14.

She said, "My people were strict religionists who felt that dancing was a sin, but luckily we moved to California."

That's a direct quote from her.

Born in old Allegheny, north side of Pittsburgh, 1894.

Moved to California at age 14.

Said, "My people were strict religionists who felt that dancing was a sin, but luckily we moved to California."

So there's some clues in there as to who this famous mystery Pennsylvanian is.

It's a toughie, but you may get it.

Oh, we go back to 1928 in that same Pittsburgh, an abandoned baby left in a theater.

Here's the question.

- [Announcer] On Christmas Eve, 1928, an abandoned baby was found in the Sheridan Square Theatre in Pittsburgh's East Liberty section.

A club that had been formed just a year before in the William Penn Hotel adopted the baby and so found a serious purpose for their club.

Was the club called A, the Shriner's Club, B, the Variety Club, C, the Golden Age Club, or D, the American Legion Club?

- That famous theater there in East Liberty, I've attended that theater many times when I lived in Pittsburgh.

Sheridan Square Theatre has been torn down, unfortunately.

But in 1928 they found a baby there, and they founded a club just a year before, and so they adopted that baby and they got a serious purpose, and that club's going strong today.

Bernie Asbell, is that club called the Shriner's, the Variety Club, the Golden Age Club, or the American Legion Club?

- Serious purpose.

- Uh-huh, yeah.

- Well, being a Shriner is a very serious thing.

- Being a Shriner is a serious, unless you're Herb Shriner, of course, the famous comedian from Indiana.

That wasn't so serious.

Yes, Lisa.

- I'm gonna have to go with Bernie again, Shriner's Club.

He's got a point and I don't, so.

(all laugh) - [Lynn] Okay, Jayne?

- Well, last time we all chose the same answer, we were all wrong.

Maybe we'll be all right this time.

'Cause I can remember going to Altoona, Pennsylvania to the Shriner's Circus.

- Yeah.

- Right?

- [Lynn] Yeah.

- Shriner's put on a circus for kids.

I go with A.

- You all say it's the Shriner's Club, the triple As here, huh?

Well, at home I know somebody picked another letter.

What did you pick at home?

- The answer is B, the Variety Club.

So it was that men and women from a variety of show business careers began to help children.

Today there are a variety clubs in several nations who have raised more than $500 million for children's charities, all because of a baby girl they named Catherine Variety Sheridan.

- That's the neat thing.

They found this, they had this club, and it was formed by people who were in showbiz, pretty much, you know?

And today in variety clubs.

I thought maybe you'd know this because lots of TV people are in the Variety Club.

In 1928, they had this club.

Didn't know what they were doing.

They were just meeting for fun after hours, you know, and they left this, lady left this baby in the theater and they'd adopted her.

Catherine Variety Sheridan is what they named her.

And I'm proud to say that this baby girl grew up and they let a couple adopt her and they never told anybody who she was or where she was, but the Variety Clubs paid her whole way through college and raised her, and since then they've helped so many kids.

So it started right there in East Liberty of Pittsburgh.

And you'll find variety clubs all over the country.

Hollywood, Las Vegas, Baltimore.

- [Jayne] That's correct, there is one in Baltimore.

- Yes, yeah, there is indeed.

- Pirate fan?

Maybe at one time?

You never were a Pirate fan?

- I gotta tell you, my brother was such a Pirate fan.

I was a Yankee fan when I was a kid.

1960.

- Yeah?

- When the Pirates won the World Series in the last game.

Bill Mazeroski.

- [Lynn] Yeah, that was awful.

That must've been just terrible.

- I cried.

He was, couldn't be happier.

- Well, the Pirates started some things in baseball, and this is about one of the things that was started there.

- [Announcer] Charlie Muse was the travel secretary for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1952 when he developed an idea.

His idea made the Pirates the first major league team to do something.

Do what?

A, cover the infield during rain, B, use batting helmets, C, wear knit uniforms, or D, host a World Series at night.

- [Lynn] 1952 is the year.

Lisa Salters.

Charlie Muse, the traveling secretary said, "Hey, why don't we..." - Now where was I in 1952?

- [Lynn] In 1952, you probably weren't in Baltimore yet, right?

- Ah, man, see, these guys have an advantage.

- But she was- - Not in '52!

(all laugh) - Take a guess.

They don't know, either.

Take a guess, Lisa.

- I'd say, what did you say?

A.

- [Lynn] You're starting to listen to the Girl Scouts.

- [Lynn and Lisa] Cover the infield during rain.

- [Lynn] Okay, in baseball, they do cover the infield during rain.

Jayne Miller?

- I will say use batting helmets, and I don't know why.

- [Lynn] You're gonna take B, okay.

- Maybe he was traveling secretary and he saw the teams and when they visited other teams trying for beanballs.

- [Lynn] Okay.

Okay.

- I don't know.

- All right.

All righty.

- [Bernie] Could you stall a little more?

I'm still thinking.

(all laugh) - [Jayne] I'm trying to buy him time.

- They were covering the infield even when I was a kid.

- Really?

- Yeah, even when I was a kid.

- [Lynn] Back when Abner Doubleday was throwing out the first ball.

- Wearing knit uniforms is entirely uninteresting.

You would not have... Batting helmets were about then, but also television was coming in then, and I will guess that he, being a traveling secretary and a business-minded man, said, "Let's put on those World Series at night."

- I see.

Okay.

- That's good.

- What in 1952 did the Pirates start doing and they were the first team in major league baseball to do it.

Everybody copied it, of course.

- [Announcer] The answer is B, use batting helmets.

Helmets were thought to be little league until the Pirates adopted them.

Now all players used batting helmets.

The Pirates were also first to cover the infield when it rained, but that was back in 1906.

They were also first to shed the heavy uniforms in favor of the lightweight knit uniforms in 1970.

Then in 1971, the Pirates hosted the first night game in World Series history.

That was appropriate since the first World Series was played at Exposition Park outside of modern Three River Stadium back in 1903.

- [Bernie] Oh, you were right on the year.

- Yeah, that's right, and this is- - [Lisa] She was right, I was wrong.

- Of course, Roberto Clemente was one of my all-time sports heroes.

What a player he was.

But yeah, they did 'em all.

It's 1952 was the batting helmet, though.

And they started it.

They started covering the infield back, what'd he say, 1906?

Something like that.

- That's right.

- Way, way, way early.

- Long time ago.

- And they did start wearing knit uniforms.

Did you ever see the old baseball uniforms they used to play in, these old heavy wool flannel?

How'd they ever run in those?

And they did, in 1971, they were the first team to host a World Series at night.

So Pirates have been involved in, and of course they played the first, very first World Series in 1903.

So Pirates have been involved, Pennsylvania teams have been involved in a lot.

Here's mystery clue number two, folks.

If you got this one, write it on line two.

When she was 17, she saw Ruth St. Denis dance, went home, quit the basketball team, and took up dramatics.

We know we're not talking about Susie McConnell, don't we?

When she was 17, she saw Ruth St. Denis dance, went home, quit the basketball team, and took up dramatics.

Clue one was she was born in Allegheny, now the north side of Pittsburgh, in 1894.

Moved to California at age 14.

She said, "My people were strict religionists who felt that dancing was a sin, but luckily we moved to California."

So there's some pretty heavy clues there, I would say.

If you wanna write to us with a clue of your own or just to say hi or suggest some information for us, here's the address, The Pennsylvania Game, Wagner Annex, University Park, PA, or you can write out Pennsylvania.

I really like to see it written out rather than PA, don't you?

16802.

What do you know about architecture?

What do you know about architects?

What do you know about an architect who was going south?

Here's the question.

- [Announcer] In 1747, a Pennsylvania architect on his way to build a Quaker church in Virginia stopped to found a town.

A little over a century later, the name of his town would be in the headlines across the nation.

Was the architect's name A, Robert Gettys, B, Robert Harper, C, Robert Appomattox, or D, Robert Sharp?

- Yeah, 1747, Pennsylvania architect on his way to build a Quaker church in Virginia stopped to found a town.

Now, this guy's name was Bob, I'll tell you that, okay?

And we wanna know his last name, 'cause about a, oh, century later, the name of his town was in the headlines across the nation.

- Could you put 'em back up?

- Jayne Miller.

So is it Robert Gettys, Robert Harper, Robert Appomattox, or Robert Sharp?

- I'm gonna be different.

I'm gonna say B, Robert Harper.

- [Lynn] Oh, you're gonna say Robert Harper.

- Harper's Ferry.

- [Lynn] Okay.

Bernie.

- Yes, you said a century later.

- [Lynn] I did say that, about a century, I said.

- About a century.

Well, 125 years is more than a century.

So I have to go with Harpers Ferry, too.

- [Lynn] You have to go with Harper's Ferry, too, okay.

- Well, just because I have no idea and these guys have more points than I do.

- [Lynn] You're gonna stay with them and sink or swim with them.

- That's right.

- Okay.

All right, well, this could be interesting.

This could, no, it couldn't tie the score because you all picked the same thing.

Why I hate it when you all pick the same thing.

What was Robert's last name, Robert?

- [Announcer] The answer is B, Robert Harper.

The town was Harper's Ferry.

John Brown raided the arsenal at Harper's Ferry in 1859, intending to use the guns to free the slaves.

John Brown had lived near Meadville, Crawford County, for about 10 years.

He had 19 children by two wives.

Nine of his children died quite young.

Two died in the raid on Harper's Ferry.

John Brown used a house in Chambersburg as a rendezvous in gathering supplies for his famous raid.

Pennsylvania figured prominently in the Civil War, just as it did in the War for Independence.

- I didn't know till I researched this he lived out near Meadville on a farm and had a couple of wives and about 18 kids, and, I mean, it was really hard times, nine of his- - [Bernie] That's why he needed a ferry.

- Nine of his kids died.

- No, John Brown, I mean.

- Oh, John Brown.

- Nine of his kids died quite young and it was a pretty rough life for John Brown.

He also lived in Akron, Ohio, my hometown.

And on the day that John Brown was hanged for the Harper's Ferry's raid, everybody in Akron took a day off and just mourned, because he was pretty well liked over there.

Kind of an interesting time in history.

But yeah, Robert Harper was on his way to build a Quaker church and he was in Pennsylvania, stopped and formed a town.

I thought maybe you'd go for Robert Gettys.

Gettysburg, don't you see?

- We knew that you wouldn't- - But we knew that Gettysburg wasn't on the water.

- And Sharpsville, also.

Oh, you knew that.

- Harper's Ferry's in Maryland.

- [Lisa] Yeah, we knew that.

(all laugh) - West Virginia.

- That's right.

- [Lynn] Well, you did okay on that one.

What do you know about choo-choo trains and the railroad?

Lisa's coming on strong, by the way.

- [Lisa] Let's see what these people know, come on, folks.

- Here's a question.

- Let's go.

- [Announcer] One of the first railroads in the United States was built in Pennsylvania.

The Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad opened in 1834, but as part of another transportation system.

Was that system called the Pennsylvania A, canal, B, turnpike, C, wagon haulers, or D, stage coach lines?

- [Jayne] What year?

- Okay, 1834 was the year.

Be patient, I'll tell you the... Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad opened in 1834, but it was part of another transportation system.

Was it called the Pennsylvania Canal, Pennsylvania Turnpike, Pennsylvania Wagon Haulers, or Pennsylvania Stage Coach Line?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Bernie, we're back to you to go first.

- Well, there'd be no reason they couldn't continue a canal.

But I think that a stage coach business would naturally extend into railroad.

- [Lynn] All right, he says stage coach, Lisa.

- Believe it or not, I was gonna say stage coach on my own.

(audience laughs) I was.

- [Lynn] Lisa, we'll try to believe that.

Jayne?

- [Jayne] I'm gonna go with the canal.

- [Lynn] Okay, you're gonna go with the canal.

- [Lisa] Where's the water?

- [Lynn] Why are you going with the canal?

- Where's the water?

- Hmm?

- Huh?

- There's no water, why canal?

- I don't wanna repeat what you two- - She does not wanna explain herself.

Let's let the announcer explain.

- [Jayne] I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

- [Announcer] The answer is A, the Pennsylvania Canal.

Philadelphia's Mainline suburbs got the name from the Mainline Canal.

The boats left from Stock Exchange Corner in Philadelphia pulled by horses to Columbia on the Susquehanna River, then by canal to Holidaysburg, where the Allegheny Portage railroads lifted them over the mountains to Johnstown, where a canal provided the final link to Pittsburgh.

In addition to hauling freight, thousands of immigrants crossed Pennsylvania by canal boat to settle the Middle Western states.

- Yeah, they put you in this railroad car and a horse pulled it out to Columbia and then they got in the water and the canal went all the way across, including across the mountains.

In fact, there's a place down here near Altoona called foot 10, which is incline plane number 10 on the canal system.

So that's what the railroad was.

Oh, a famous pamphleteer.

I know, Lisa, you know a lot about pamphleteers.

This is back in colonial times in the Revolutionary War.

- [Announcer] Among the pamphleteers whose writings contributed to the American cause of independence was John Dickinson, who in 1767 wrote the famous 12 letters of a Pennsylvania farmer.

Was John Dickinson A, a banker from York, B, a farmer from Lancaster, C, a lawyer from Philadelphia, or D, a blacksmith from Carlisle.

- Everybody reads in history books about letters from a Pennsylvania farmer.

Well, they were written by John Dickinson, 'cause everybody was writing about, you know, independence and so forth.

But was John Dickinson a banker from York, a farmer from Lancaster, a lawyer from Philadelphia, or a blacksmith from Carlisle?

Lisa, you get to start on this one, so you can't- - Wait, who is it, letters from who?

- [Lynn] Letters from a Pennsylvania farmer.

They were, like, common sense and all those.

Very influential in the revolution.

- [Jayne] That was just the name of it.

- [Lynn] Yeah, that was the name of his, what he wrote.

But what was he?

Which of those?

- I'll go to my lady out here.

What is it?

- [Lynn] Are you getting help from the audience?

- No, no, I'm not.

- Whoever's helping you is not doing real well.

- I know.

- Maybe you have somebody else.

What do you say?

- I'm gonna say... - Yes?

- A lawyer.

- A lawyer from Philadelphia.

Okay, Jayne Miller, what do you say?

- I'm gonna say he's a blacksmith from Carlisle because Dickinson College is in Carlisle.

- [Lynn] It is indeed.

Bernie?

- So is Dickinson School of Law.

- Well, I know- - That's true.

- I'm gonna take my second stab at York, but only a lawyer would have the gall to call himself a farmer from- - [Lynn] You're copying off Lisa now?

- [Bernie] I'm not copying.

- You guys are, this is dynamite.

They got a thing going here.

They're copying off each other.

What's the answer?

- [Announcer] The answer is C, a lawyer from Philadelphia.

His letters from a Pennsylvania farmer, widely read throughout the colonies, were part of an impressive volume of persuasive writing that argued against England's right to levee taxes in America.

- Okay, that's right.

Now, mystery clue number three.

Jayne's doing well, she's ahead with four.

Bernie has three and Lisa's close behind with two.

Well, hold your applause.

We need to hurry along.

Called the mother of modern dance, she changed the image of dance across the world.

That's the last clue you're gonna get.

- It's probably somebody we know.

- [Lynn] Well, do you know who she is?

- No.

- [Lynn] And don't feel bad if you don't, Jayne.

How about you, Lisa, any ideas?

- No.

- [Lynn] Bernie's scribbling like crazy.

Martha Graham.

You first had Ginger Rogers.

- Well, that's good call.

- That's right.

- [Lynn] And then you decided Martha Graham.

You guys think Martha Graham's a good call?

- [Jayne] Yeah, but I don't think, I think it's, the age is gonna be- - [Announcer] Born in Allegheny in 1894, Martha Graham was destined to become one of the greatest artists America has produced.

When she was 17, she saw Ruth St. Denis dance, and that experience started her on a career that would make the name Martha Graham synonymous with modern dance.

The art form she developed provided the first lasting alternative to the 350-year-old idiom of classical ballet.

Her cardinal belief is that movement expresses emotion so deeply hidden that it cannot be expressed in words.

Her repertoire is the largest and most diverse ever produced by one choreographer, comparable to Shakespeare in literature and Picasso in painting.

Martha Graham, a famous Pennsylvanian.

- I was beginning to despair of your getting another mystery Pennsylvanian right.

Congratulations, Bernie.

That's great.

She's indeed a famous, famous lady.

- Oh, and indestructible, you know.

- That's right.

- She is indeed.

- Yeah.

- Good work.

Bernie.

- [Lynn] Lisa, thanks for being here.

- Thank you for having me.

- Always charming.
