The 50's were the Golden
Era of television's game and quiz
shows. In 1957, 5 of the top
10 programs on TV
featured audience participation. Five days a
week, the voice
of Jack Bailey, Master of Ceremonies, carried across national
television via NBC, ABC and the Mutual
Broadcasting System. Ten million viewers settled in to
see another Cinderella's wish come true. After hearing the personal
and often
deeply moving stories of the Candidates,
the live
audience in
the Hollywood
Moulin Rouge Theatre voted for
their favorite. Using an "Applause Meter" the winner
would be crowned "Queen For A Day". Between radio and TV,
the show
had a
run of nearly 20 years. These are the only
surviving seven episodes of this landmark program.
