Happy birthday, Irving

      Very good! There were a few I couldn’t quite place, although their faces were certainly familiar. My best guesses:
      Indian at 0:28 — Dan Blocker
      Lady at 0:44 — Ann Margaret
      Two guys at 1:12 — David and Ricky Nelson
      Bartender at 1:28 — Ed McMahon
      Lady at 1:30 — Phyllis Diller
      Two guys at 1:46 — Dan Rowan and Dick Martin
