Charade Quiz was an American game show hosted by Bill Slater which aired on the DuMont Television Network Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET from November 27, 1947,[note 1][1] to June 23, 1949.

Overview

Episodes featured "a regular slate of actors with a panel of four trying to guess what they were pantomiming."[1]

The program originated from the Adelphi Theatre in New York.[2]

Personnel

Bill Slater was the program's master of ceremonies. Victor Keppler was the producer, and Henry Alexander was the director.[3] A review in the trade publication Billboard observed: "Slater's handling of the question-master's role was assured and good humored. The small troupe of youngsters who acted out the problems did an adequate job."[3]

Charles Polacheck[4] and Victor Keppler produced the program. Henry Alexander was the director, and Frank Bunetta was the technical director.[3]

Beginning in July 1948, Whelan Drug Stores sponsored the program.[5]

Reception

A review in The New York Times in March 1948 called the program "a diverting half hour", although the quality varied from week to week with different actors and different people trying to guess what was being pantomimed.[6] Reviewer Jack Gould also felt that Slater demonstrated "a certain smugness which is not particularly appealing".[6]
