Serious But UnSubdued

/ HE ruckus in Parliament subsided when an
MP. with fortunate sense of humor sug-
gested that since Danny had attended the
patients opening, it was only fair to offer him
ticket for the comedians opening at the
Palladium. But it proves that even in Eng
land, where he is worshiped, he can be mis-
understood.
Danny is more sensitive about these things
than he used to be. He has discovered that
it is better to be loved than to be admired.
He is little more serious now. But not ex-
actly subdued.
He was sitting at table across from us at

the Paramount commissary while was dis
cussing him with his wife. He might have
overheard US, except that he was engrossed in
some sort of deep plotting with Don Hart
man, the amiable studio production chief
Danny has his own money in Knock On
Wood, which is his first effort in the produc-
ing end of the business as we'll as his newest
starring vehicle.
Danny and Hartman still had their heads
together when Y. Frank Freeman entered. He
is boss of the whole works at the studio. They
jumped to attention with military precision.
Frank" said Danny, Il want you to know
that if anything happens to me you have a
frst-class replacement in your own studio.
Demonstrate, DON"
Hartman cleared his throat, and from it
came sounds like 'do-gat-giddle, giddle-di-do,
riddle-de-fddle, deet"
Kidding the Boss
WHAT had the air of an earnest studio con-
ference was only another of Danny's antics on
the set. He had conspired to teach Don Hart

about the reluctant draftee. And Hartman
was pretty good at it, too. They must have
been rehearsing for hours if not days
just to razz the big boss.
Foolishness over, Danny left the commits
sary at fast clip for the set and followed.
On the set he spotted pair of drums, left
there by an absent drummer He sat down to
the drums and and the world lost him again.
He began to whisk softly with the things you
whisk with, switched to the sticks and beat
rhythmically. He is better than fair as a
drummer, as he is better than fair at anything
he tries
His pianist picked up the tune Pretty soon
a fellow grabbed bass viol and began to
twang away. Saxophone and clarinet chined
in. Dannys beat became more frenzied, his
concentration more intense The jam session
was on.

nor looked up from the drums once during the
session. 1t was clear that this sort of thing
could 60 on for hours. Production would have.

nous, ana wee versa - developed as result
of his rather offhand approach to rehearsals
He wouldn't learn the lines, though his
memory is fabulous, and he filled in with the
fiddle-de-gat nonsense and impromptu lines
that popped into his head. The result was 50
funny that l tried to write it down. The
toughest job was getting Danny to remember
what he had sung Eventually we worked out
the song together"
If Danny is flip during rehearsals, or can
break up set with his nonsense during a take,
he lets nothing interfere with his play On the
golf course, he never says word to anyone,
never takes his eye off the ball. His friend,
Peter Lind Hayes, makes it point to bid him
farewell touchingly when they tee off together
ON the theory that he has lost Danny alto
gether for the duration of the game
Danny is an easy man to lose. Once, when
he was playing the Palace Theater in New
York, a British cabinet member visited him
backstage, expressed curiosity about Brook
lyn, which is Danny's birthplace. 1t was a
mistake on the part of the Britisher.
Somewhere south of the COwanus Canal
Danny slipped away back into his own
childhood and youth.
The Cabinet Minister found himself tag
ging along while Danny visited the home
where he was born, the public school he at
tended, the dental Office where he used to
work, the streets where he played softball, the
candy store where he used to hang out, the
counter where he jerked soda.
The Cabinet Minister never did get to see
Coney Island.
He's Too Numerous
| CAN'T say what Danny Kaye is like in
private life, " says Sylvia Fine. There are too
many of him."
1t can be safely stated that Danny Kaye is
shrewd and naive, brash and modest intellec-
tual and frivolous, wizard at memory and as
absent-minded as any college professor. He
is alternately friendly and cold, serious and
trifing. If he is often misunderstood it is his
own fault, for he never settles down to any
one role long enough for anybody to deter
mine what he thinks or what he is like.
The Danes mistook good nature for i'm
pudence when he dared to be photographed
lying in Hans Christian Andersen's bed and
wearing Hans Christian Andersen's boots.
Danny was, after all, only complying with the
request of the photographer "a Dane.
Even the British have been guilty of punch
ing at Danny unfairly. AS when British
paper accused him of trying to crash an exclu-
sive golf club at St. Andrews. But Danny
thought the club was public place, as the
course is.
Parliament debate threatened when Danny
witnessed an operation in London hospital
His curiosity seemed vulgar to some M.P.'s.
1t was more real than that, however. Danny
is frustrated doctor III qualities fully as
member of the SAPS Society of Amateur
Physicians), and is widely read in medical
matters.

HickenIooper Sees
Serious Red Threat
In Central America
BY the Associated Press

Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, said today there
is very serious" Communist
threat in Central America-a
problem he said demands greater
attention by the United States.
Senator Hickenlooper, just
back from an inspection tour of
United States information
operations in a dozen Latin
American countries, said he
found agitation about Yankee
imperialism.
There is a basic respect for
us in these countries which we
can do a lot about developing"
he said in an interview. II am
firmly convinced that we should
devote much more attention to
bettering our relationships with
LaCln America.

I'VE have been giving only
minimum attention to these
countries in dispensing technical
advice. I think we have spent
a disproportionate share Of
funds for such services elsewhere
in the world and we should re-
adjust that situation"

marks followed by two days

Sees Serious Threat.
Senator Hickenlooper said he
regards Communist encroach-
ments in Guatemala as a very
serious threat" But he said he
believes that progress is being
made in convincing the sur
rounding area that the United
States does not wish to interfere
in their free choice of govern
ment.
Senator Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida, meanwhile, called for
a State Department appraisal of
Russian trade activities in Latin
America.
Senator Smathers said in
statement he believes Congress
