| Pert Kelton |
I was poorly informed then but I know now that character's name is Martha Harrison. She and Sam (her husband) are the next door neighbors to the Berle's at the end-of-show home scene. The character is most-probably played by Pert Kelton.
The Harrisons don't show up on every show - sadly, only on about one out of every three shows.
In my opinion, the Martha Harrision character is one of the funniest in old-time radio and she does this by only uttering the word, "yes." If you will listen to the clip (which is a clip of the whole skit), you will be able to hear her say "yes" in her different ways.
One of these days I plan on putting together an audio montage or her saying 'yes' - every time she did it. I would not doubt that those many times would all sound different (but that's for another day.)
Meanwhile, enjoy this clip, which is about poker. (There will be a short delay before the clip starts.)
