What's on TV? Monday, October 10, 1955

I always enjoy these 1950s Philadelphia editions; it's not that I have any connection to the city (I've never been there), but I get a charge out of seeing the names of some of my old sports heroes, people like John "The Voice of God" Facenda and Jack Whitaker—the kind they don't make anymore. Something else you don't see anymore: network coverage of a speech given by the Secretary of State, but that's what you get at 1:00 p.m. when John Foster Dulles addresses the American Legion convention in Miami. And ther's a nice bit of cross-promotion when Dave Garroway interviews Tonight host Steve Allen on Today. What other favorites do you recognize this week?
