Lucy had to approve the hip hypnotist appearing on her show, and obviously Pat Collins had to agree to appear on the show as well.
Both women are given leeway of one another. Lucy doesn't mock or ridicule or make her jokes at hypnotism, even tho it was her show.
Was this to be a podium for hypnotism, to show it in a different light for what people may think of it? Truthfully, it is interesting to observe.
Clearly the six persons in question weren't hypnotized. One woman continues to move after Pat Collins says they are frozen.
I suppose the most bewildering thing about Pat's performance was the 'gown' she is wearing. It is large with no emphasis on hips and looks like a tent around her.
The fashions, I suppose.
In the end, the hilight is seeing how a nightclub act, other than what we know of lounge lizard performing, is done, or was done.
Pat Collins sings the people onto the stage, then sings them off as well.
Also worth noting, a token black man is one of the hypnotized subjects. Lucy began making miniscule efforts to put black persons in crowd scenes in her show by this time, bless her heart.
A loss is we hear Pat Collins comment on one of the other subjects imitating a coffee pot. She says she doesn't know what he is trying to do, but alas, we don't see who she is talking about. All we see at this moment is Lucy and Gale Gordon.
Definite hilight; Gale Gordon, over sixty-years-old, doing a cartwheel.
Inspirational.
