    “What’s My Line” was done in the same theater until 1960 (when the Goodson-Todman shows moved to Studio 52).

    Did the kids get a pack of Winstons too?

    Thanks for posting! I have always wanted to see behind the scenes of these CBS shows even way back when I was a kid!

    Long, long, long, loooooooong mic cord!

    How long was that mic cable?

    Amazing how they pulled this off with all that 1950’s equipment.

    It was renamed the Brooks Atkinson Theatre after CBS left and is now back to hosting stage plays. I’m always happily surprised when these old buildings are still in use, especially in today’s ridiculously overheated NYC real estate market. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Atkinson_Theatre

    I always thought Play Your Hunch was an NBC show?
