A Mixed Bag on a Friday...
First a look at the events of the day
Then The Marriage starring Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, originally broadcast October 4, 1953, 71 years ago, PTA 5th Grade Volunteer Ben tries to ask questions of Pete's fifth-grade teacher. This is not as easy as it sounds.
We follow that with Battle of the Sexes, originally broadcast October 4, 1938, 86 years ago, What are Cold Hands. Julia Sanderson (head of the women's team) and Frank Crumit (head of the men's team) in this early quiz show.

Next Counterspy starring Don Maclaughlin and Mandel Kramer, originally broadcast October 4, 1949, 75 years ago, The Case Of The Sweepstakes Murder. Frightened witnesses gasp, "Murdered by a golden sword!"
Finally, Claudia, originally broadcast October 4, 1948, 76 years ago. Why is David coming home from the hospital?
