... Mister Rogers opened the door, put down a book...

On April 22, 1975, while singing "It's A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood," Mister Rogers opened the door, put down a book, walked to his closet, took off his coat, grabbed a hanger, hung it up, took down a green sweater, walked to the bench in the front hall, sat down, untied his dress shoes, took them off, put on his sneakers, tied them in a double-knot, drew his revolver and shot the first six mother - -kers he saw.
