All righty, hurray, hurray, hurray to Circus Day on Queen for a Day, being brought to you
by Pepsodent, famous for whiteness, famous for flavor, and by Clarol, creators of the
exciting natural look and beauty, and starring our ringmaster of fun, Jack Bailey.
That's great.
Thank you, and welcome to what we think will be a very colorful and a very special edition
of Queen for a Day.
By the way, these are real honest-to-goodness circus clowns from the great Ringling Brothers
in Barnum and Bailey Circus, Larry and Bobby.
Come up here, Larry and Bobby.
Larry, oh, hello, Jack.
Hello.
Oh, goodness.
Larry and Bobby.
You must be lost.
Right.
Bobby, what are you doing in town here?
What are you all doing?
Well, we came to tell my boys and girls all about the circus, the Ringling Brothers Barnum
and Bailey Circus, the greatest, greatest show on earth.
We're going to do some tricks.
Yes, I got boys and girls out there, you know, from four to 40 or eight to 80.
They're all boys and girls, and they want to see some circus stuff, and we've got a
good show this day.
You got any passes with you?
I'd like to go myself.
Oh, you said a bad word.
Oh, there's tickets for that circus, you know, and they're available.
They're down at the Sports Arena.
You can get them.
Good.
I'd like to get some.
You're kidding with that face.
Listen, you got any free tickets for the queen?
Well, Jack, of course.
This is like getting free money out of the Bank of America.
Yes, of course.
I want you and the queen and all the candidates to be our guests at the circus.
Now, is that free?
Absolutely free.
No tax, no nothing.
Well, old skinheart, I'm glad you finally got to give something away, and you know,
you kids are going to make a lot of fun with us today, and you're great in the circus,
and we accept for all of the candidates and myself and Mrs. Bailey, and Mrs. Bailey has
75 nieces.
Oh, you're bringing her in now.
It's going to be 111 of us.
Thank you both very much, and we'll see you later on in the show.
Bless your hearts.
Now, what do you say we meet the first candidate here and have a little talk with her?
Well, here she comes, welcome to our circus show, Shirley.
Shirley Boyer, where are you from?
San Diego.
Yeah?
Now, you're the mother of how many children?
Four.
Four children.
Well, four boys.
Well, they're circus size.
How old are they?
Two, four, six, and eight.
Well, that was two, four, six, and eight almost.
How long have you been married, Shirley?
Almost nine years.
Now, your husband left you.
How long has he been gone?
Well, he's been gone since last November.
But he left in line of duty and not for any other reason.
He's with the United States Navy.
No, Marines.
Was he?
I thought he was with the Navy.
Well, I'm sorry.
Listen, where is he now?
He just got back from Vietnam.
Oh, boy.
To Okinawa.
I bet he's got some stories to tell about that junk over there.
Now, he still isn't coming home, though.
He went back to Okinawa.
Right.
And how long will he be there?
Till December.
Then he's coming home.
Right.
Now, that leads me into another question that I ask several times a day on this show.
What would you like if you were queen?
Shirley Boyer.
A phone call.
To Okinawa.
Right.
Now, you want to talk to him and find out how he's feeling and everything and how the
Marines are doing.
But you had another idea after the phone call.
Oh, you mean the honeymoon.
Did you forget it?
Why don't I keep my mouth shut?
I got by with just a phone call here.
Listen, you want to have a honeymoon.
He's been gone for about a year.
Right.
It'll be 13 months, really.
Yeah.
And if you're, you know, you're going to be in Okinawa if you don't quit back in that
place.
There you are.
Listen, we're going to make a phone call.
And has he seen all the kitties?
Were they all born before he left?
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
But he'd like to talk to them.
Oh, I'm sure he would.
And you've got how many boys?
Four and one girl dog.
One girl dog.
The dog doesn't get on the phone.
No yipping on the phone.
But we're going to fix it up so you call dad over in Okinawa.
And when he gets back, you and dad are going on a honeymoon if you're queen.
Is that fair enough?
Oh, that's good.
Where would you like to go, you and your hubby?
Why don't you go to Okinawa for a honeymoon?
Oh, I'm sure he'd like that.
I was trying to get a free room on board.
The Marines didn't work, huh?
I'm afraid not.
Where would you like to go, really?
Oh, anywhere, just to be with him.
Fine, fine.
We have a wonderful spot up the coast, Santa Barbara.
Put you on a bus, and we'll take you to the beach.
Oh, that's great.
I'll take you to the beach.
