THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARCHIVE - All Things Mister Rogers | ||
Episode 1172 Air Date: April 13, 1971
Susan Linn stops by with her own puppets including Audrey Duck. Ms. Linn also talks about puppets being a wonderful tool for safely expressing feelings. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, X the Owl shows Audrey Duck and Susan Linn around the Neighborhood. Ana Platypus is startled when she sees their unfamiliar faces. Meanwhile, the shy Henrietta Pussycat keeps her distance from X and his guests. Lady Elaine Fairchilde is a little pushy and off-putting as she introduces herself to Susan and Audrey. Henrietta works up the courage to meet the guests just before Mr. McFeely delivers a message requesting their presence at the castle. Back at the house, Ms. Linn shares a few other puppets including the first puppet she ever had -- a dragon made from a sock. She describes ventriloquism and explains how it works. NotesLet's Be Together Today plays in the background just before Audrey and Susan visit Make-Believe. Although clearly not the same, the owl puppet which Mister Rogers suggests looks like X the Owl does slightly resemble an early image of X from the Children's Corner era. Appearing In This Episode
