Then he may set out TO do
as he has been told, but 1t Is
likely that underneath he
only wants to prove nothing
will help in his case.
Jonathan is operating UNI
der many decisions. One of
the most important is that
he has no agressiveness. This
can't be the case. Every liv-
ing being has aggressiveness.
The problem is to employ 1t
effectively. We believe JON
athan is employing his to
hurt and Illustrate himself.
Jonathan should recognize
that he must be more honest
with himself. It is entirely
up to him TO find out how to
direct those abilities to serve
his best interests.
II he applies himself to
some constructive thought,
instead Of whipping himself
for his failure" he will
surely find more success.

Story Behind a Window

$500 a week. He stayed eight
weeks. One Of his listeners
was Leo DeLyon, who went
back to New York and told
Mr.. Krasne of General Art
lists Corp. that there was a
kid in Detroit who 4Aad great
talent. =
BRILL HAD NEVER met
anyone from GAO, but they
sent word that he was being
booked into the Roosevelt
Hotel in New Orleans. He
earned $3.50 a week and his
name was in lights, He felt
big. Brill went on before
1900 people and laid an egg
with corners on it. The
people stared at him.
The manager wrote out q
slip cancelling Brill's en-
gagement. His big moment
was his worst. He sat in his
room looking at a wall. There
was a knock on the door.
Johnny Puleo came in fol-
lowed by Tony Pastor. Puleo
is a midget who used to
work with Borrah Mime
vich.
What are you trying to
do, KIDD" they said. "Your
stuff is awful" Pastor sat
down and wrote out some
new arrangements for the
stranger. Puleo showed the kid
some show business tricks.
Pastor phoned the hotel man
ager and asked him not to
cancel Martyrs engagement.
He stayed. He was not great
after that. but he was a fair
attraction.
Last May, he was jerking
sodas in a part-time job at
$50 a week. Yesterday. he
sat in his little apartment,
plunking a guitar. He is out
of work.
Behind every window there

There are many in the

a window on the fourth floor

Behind it, a young man SITS,

discovered talent. Undis-
covered talent means that
you have it but nobody cares.
Each year, about 10000
boys and girls in America
emerge from school with some
theatrical talent. Two or
three, in time, are dis
covered" OF the remainder,
q dozen become fairly well
known and sing in little sup
per clubs around the Nation.
The rest end up in choirs and
salons. listening to people
say: Gee, you can sing. You
ought to be on television."
MARTY BRILL, ! think,
is going to make it. He has
a good voice. He can sing
modern material and he can
sing old English chanties and
he can tell funny stories in
a fine Japanese dialect and
In bop talk. A neat diStinc-
ton! He has looks and charm
and he has pride in his craft.
He was born in Chicago in
what is now the Swedish
Covenant Hospital. His
father was "a. His mother
was Is. Both are Jewish.
Marty was named for a dead
grandmother and a Notre
Dame football player. The
elder Brill played a saxophone
in a band with Fred Mac
Murray.
The boy was sent to Bryant
Grammar School, Marshall
High School, and the Uni
versity of Chicago and Uni
versity of Illinois for pre-
medical courses, He waited
until he had three years of
pre-med before deciding that
he did not want to become a
doctor. He wanted to be an
actor.
THE ARMED SERVICES
came first. He joined the
Navy. served on the destroyer
tenders Prairie and Frontier,
went to Korea and Indo-
China and Japan and be-
came a disc jockey on sta
ton KCMB in Subic Bay. In
1855, he was sent to Wash
ington and he restudied his
childhood loves: guitar and
piano.
There was an all-Navy tall
ent show and Brill entered.
There were 10 winners. He
was one. All appeared on the
Ed Sullivan tclevision show
and Brill grinned smugly to
himself and murmured:
This is it. The big time"
Nothing happened. Audi
ences all over the country

was at the Caucus Club in

ture I'm too honest and that
isn't so good in business.
Marian has some pretty
good ideas. But when ! try
TO act on them things go
haywire. Sometimes I think
it's all q matter Of luck and
my luck is to be a failure,
Marian talks Of going to

income and give the chill

kind Of talk makes me sick
and gets my morale down
still lower.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Marian's efforts to help
her husband appear to be
missing the mark.
Lecturing an individual
about his shortcomings and
advising specific courses to
action acts as a kind of re-
verse form Of coddling. The
victim Of the needing enjoys
the pleasure Of being pun
ished for his wrongdoing.

Writes of Japanese
Experiences While
Visiting Sailor

Petty Officer Robert Lambert,
U. S. Navy, a son of Mrs. Madelyn
Savedge Kemp, of Deer Park, who
is stationed in Japan. recently
wrote to his mother concerning
his experiences on a weeks leave
with one of his Japanese students.
Lambert, who has been in the
Navy about two years. has been
conducting a course in English for
japanese students interested in
learning that language and was in
vited by one of them to spend a
week at his home.
Teiji Ogata, the Japanese sailor
who invited him, had been to the
States about a year ago and told
Lambert that everyone had treated
him so well he wanted to return

/ the favor.
He was taken to the island OF
Tashirc-Shima, home of Teiji's
parents and relatives. One of his
train meals was spaghetti.
The parents lived in traditional
japanese house, two hundred years
old, built by their ancestors. Lam
bert learned the Japanese custom
that when you enter a house you
light a piece of pine and lay it on
an altar, a Shinto portable temple
where you clap your hands twice
and then greet the ancestors who
have lived in that house. When you
meet someone for the first time
you are expected to kneel on the
floor, bow until your hands and
forehead touch the floor and num-
BILE an appropriate greeting
When you look up they are still
bowling to you.
Other excerpts from his letter;
I'VE went to a school house
which resembles the old American
schoolhouses. Students were
grouped in one of good many
rooms. The teacher lived there and
was very nice. When | took a pic

baseball with the boys, | was ac-
copied"
That night we stayed in Teiji's
parents home, taking the evening
bath outside in a little building
away from the main house, Just
as the lavatory was in another
separate building. While in the
bath the water got cold because
the fire had died down and Teiji
asked if | would mind the shame

though he had another one right
next door for guests. About 25 or
so came TO visit to eat, drink and
talk to an American From young
children who stared when l gave
them American candy, Japanese
candy isn't too sweet to the old
men and women of the island, who
were surprised that | wasn't run

somewhere or get something done.
That was what they had thought
of Americans-just like | thought
that the japanese people were al
ways on the move before l came
to Japan.
I'VE talked to three young Japan
csc girls and one fellow about the
present problem among the youth
of Japan to commit suicide when
they we're faced with problems and
found there was no way out. Often
it happens over love affair where
the parents do not approve or
