little time. It was obvious that he didn't go along with TVism very far. As the very last question on the show I was asked if I would be willing to appear as Charles sometime. I replied in the negative and among other things I said, "This way I appear before you as a woman and even though you know better you cannot help but think of me as a woman and treat me as such". The psychiatrist could not comment because it was the end of the show, but it was evident from his expression that he was not about to buy anything like that.

The Dr. immediately stooped to pick it up and while half way back to a standing position real- ized what he had done and rather sheepishly looked up at me and said, "You know, if you hadn't been a woman I wouldn't have done that for you.

The next morning was a repeat on the Jerry Williams show over WBBM--the same show I had done last April. It was quite successful and they told us afterward that their phone registering device showed that there had been over 1400 callers trying to get the line during the show, though we could only take a few of them.

After this show we, Gisele (as Gus) and I paid a visit to the offices of Dr. Walter Alvarez the famous medical columnist. He is a wonderful man and was much interested in our subject. He took his two secretaries and Gus and I to lunch at Jacques French Restaurant one of the really "in" places in Chicago where we spent much more time discussing TVism. He also consented to pose with me outside afterward (see picture section).

That evening Gus had arranged an appearance on the Marty Faye TV show in which they gave me two half hour segments and this too was very successful.
