Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood: 8x5

Episode 1395

Mister Rogers cleans out his coat closet and finds a variety of items including stocking caps, dress pants for his sons, and a paper hat. In the kitchen, he uses newspaper to show how to make a paper hat.

At Betty’s Little Theater, Mister Rogers observes as Lester Evans teaches a tap dancing class. Johnny Costa provides the music for the class. Audrey Roth and Mary Lou Autenreith perform a routine they have been practicing before Mister Rogers tries a few basic steps himself.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Aberlin dances her way to the tree where Henrietta Pussycat is cleaning her house. Henrietta plans to give her clothes she has outgrown to Ana Platypus for dress-up play. X the Owl refuses to try on one of Henrietta’s hats for fun because he expects that he will then become a girl. Lady Aberlin expains to him that wearing someone else’s clothes does not turn them into that person.
