00:00Today, Arthur Creature bids for prizes with these contestants on The Price is Right.
00:14This portion brought to you by Hot Tomato Sauce and by Clairol, creators of the exciting natural look in view.
00:21And now, here is your host on The Price is Right, Bill Callens.
00:30Thank you. Welcome. Welcome to The Price is Right.
00:44It is our pleasure to have all of you with us, and in a little while, right after the first half of the show,
00:49for those of you at home, we're going to show you our sweepstakes.
00:51So if you're at all interested, hang around for that if you would, please.
00:54And now, it gives me great pleasure to say hello to a man I can truly say has been a friend of mine for more years
01:00than I suppose either one of us care to admit, Mr. Arthur Creature.
01:03How are you, Bill?
01:03Arthur, welcome.
01:09Now, you've caught our show from time to time.
01:13Yes, I have, yes.
01:14Yes, Arthur, right?
01:15Whenever I look at you, I think of your pretty wife.
01:19She is, isn't she?
01:19Isn't she?
01:20She's prettier than I and taller than I.
01:22Yeah.
01:23And now that's enough of her.
01:25Let's get back to business.
01:27She's probably watching today anyway.
01:28I hope so.
01:29I asked Arthur before if he watched the show.
01:31Tell him what you said when I asked him.
01:32What did I say?
01:33I said, I used to watch you when you started, but lately I haven't stayed in every morning at 11.30.
01:39Well, I think that's the least you can do.
01:41What are you doing, by the way?
01:42Now, I'm what they call resting, which means I'm unemployed.
01:46All right, anybody out there in television land like a nice Arthur creature, he's available.
01:53As you know, Arthur will be bidding for prizes along with the rest of our panel.
01:56Let's meet him now.
01:57Here is our returning champion back from the week of December 24th, because we had a special panel last week.
02:03Mr. Paul Kane, a teacher from Sulphur Springs, Texas.
02:07This is his second day of appearance.
02:09He won it with a total of $1,259 worth of merchandise.
02:13Welcome back, Paul.
02:14We've got another special lady, Mrs. Rose Zach, who is our sweepstakes winner, and we brought her in from Detroit to be on the show.
02:25Welcome, Rose.
02:26Thank you, Bill.
02:29And here, lady, the only one chosen from the studio audience, today anyway, Mrs. Emily Banco, a housewife from Riverhead, New York.
02:38Welcome, Emily.
02:39All right.
02:41Arthur, there is Junie with the container.
02:45Each card has a name of someone.
02:47Pick out four, Arthur.
02:48Yeah, go right ahead.
02:49One at a time.
02:49One.
02:50One he got.
02:51These are the people in the audience for whom Arthur will be playing.
02:53Pick them all out together.
02:54Yes, go ahead, and I'll explain that any time Arthur wins a prize, it goes to one of you here in the studio audience today whose card was selected for that.
03:01That's the one. I'm going to have that one.
03:02All right, have that one now.
03:03I won't, I'll have that one.
03:05That one was stuck.
03:06All right.
03:07All right, if you'll read the name on that first card, Arthur.
03:09First one, William Harris.
03:11From where?
03:12Where's William Harris?
03:13Ah.
03:14There.
03:14Do you see William Harris?
03:16There's William Harris.
03:16There you are.
03:17How are you doing?
03:17William Harris, come on down, William.
03:19William, son.
03:24There she lives up there.
03:26All right.
03:27Now, panel.
03:28You want to know where she lives in Cincinnati?
03:30Cincinnati, lovely town.
03:32We have a little gift for everyone on the panel today, one of our Price is Right game boxes.
03:36There's Gail with it.
03:37And we'll be back to get on with our game after a short message for you.
03:40Give us just a minute, please.
03:43Playing how the game works, we put the merchandise up for bids.
03:45It goes to one that bids the highest without going over.
03:48Big winner, of course, will come back again tomorrow.
03:50Unless the big winner's Arthur, he'll be back again tomorrow in any event.
03:54Now, we have Miss Harris ready to come on right in our little, I don't know what we're going to call that.
03:58Let's call it a witness box.
03:59Yes, now you all get a look at Miss Harris.
04:02How do you feel?
04:03You are brought here on charges of murdering your husband.
04:08Anyway, you'll be able to watch the bidding pretty well from there, if you will.
04:13Now, our first item is a bit of a listening clue, so go ahead.
04:17Ah, it starts right away.
04:20Watch the draperies to your left, if you would.
04:22And, Johnny, tell us about our first item going up for bids.
04:25A tractor with snowblower.
04:38It's the Cub Cadet by International Harvester.
04:41A sturdy design with spring-mounted seats and powered by a seven-horsepower air-cooled engine
04:47with three-speed transmission and automatic steering.
04:50It has optional electrical starter, fenders, creeper drive, front-powered takeoff,
04:56and snowblower attachment to throw snow 20 feet.

05:35$350.
05:36$4.
05:38Is that right?
05:39Is that right?
05:40You're spending money like you did in the days we used to go out together.
05:43Yes.
05:43$400.
05:44Huh?
05:45Is it $350?
05:46Yes, the minimums are $25.
05:48Oh, and then $375.
05:49All right.

06:30$945.20, Ms. Banco.
06:35You have a bonus, Ms. Banco, after you've cleaned the path, why don't you lay out the carpet?
06:52We have coming in this special outdoor carpeting, believe it or not.
06:56It's Ozite all-purpose carpeting designed by Ozite Corporation, Chicago, Illinois.
07:01Measures 12 by 30 feet to be used indoors or outdoors over any surface for long-lasting, carefree comfort.
07:08And it'll make a handsome floor for this bonus look behind patio furniture.

07:23It includes a table with four padded armchairs and a pair of adjustable reclining chaise lounges,
07:29plus a charming settee with two matching lounge chairs and a cocktail table, ten pieces, all yours.
07:35Congratulations from The Price is Right.
07:37Oh, boy, I have just the backyards here.
07:42All right, Arthur.
07:44If you will be so kind, sir, as to read your next name.
07:46Well, I say it's Richard Pedome at Yonkers, New York, but at the back it may be Richard Pedani.
07:53I don't know which it is.
07:54Even one of those.
07:59Well, whichever one of you it is, come on down here.
08:03We'll be happy to see you.
08:04And we'll have another interesting prize, too, in just a moment.
08:06But for a change, your family is sure to like.
08:09You just look what's cooking now.
08:11We'll be back in a minute.
08:13Get Richard in the witness box there.
08:15Come on in, Dick.
08:16Hey, I can ask you a question as a witness.
08:18Is it Pedan or Pedani?
08:20Pedani.
08:21We've got it wrong both times.
08:23Pedani it is, Arthur.
08:24Just keep that in mind.
08:25If you're all ready, watch.
08:27Let me point.
08:27Because it's over in that area that we ask you to watch.
08:29Watch it carefully.
08:30And, Johnny, tell us about our next one going up for bids.
08:33A handsome cabinet.
08:45An oiled walnut design with a champagne storage rack, bar space for bottles and glasses,
08:52and two sliding formica trays.

09:19and Admiral Corporation, Chicago, Illinois.
09:22There you are now.
09:23As you see it there, the television set is black and white,
09:26and it is merely a television, not merely, but there's no high-fire radio in there.
09:29The cabinet, the storage space.
09:32Miss Zach, it's a one-bid item, and you have to begin, so take a little thinking time.
09:36One bid.
09:37Once you start it, then we'll move about in five-second limits or try to.
