walked into Red Buttons
dressing room after watching
the midnight show at the
swank Hotel Tropicana in Las
Vegas, the fabulous Nevada
desert spot and playground
of the West, 1 found the night
club comedian and recent
Academy award winner not
at all tired in spite of the
early morning hour and two
strenuous performances as
headliner in the new Monte
ProSer revue.
Greeting me with a Hasidic
dance and chanting his TV
theme song, Strange Things

fic Yiddish nigun, Red ex-
planned with a WiStful smile,
"I learned it from my grand
father in shul."
Red Buttons was born

80 years ago, son of Michael
and Sophie Chwatt who came
to this country from Poland.
my father was wiped out
during the depression when
someone jumped out of a win
downright into his push
cart" Red tells me with his
own brand of humor which is
spiced by many jibes.
Aaron began his acting ca
reer as a street-corner singer
and impersonator of Eddie
Cantor and Al Jolson, Famed
cantor Joseph Rosenblatt
helped him to develop his
voice and diction, he reveals
proudly. Later, the young
man migrated to the Crotona
Theater in the Bronx, singing
during the overture medley
from the orchestra pit.
IN 1885, WHILE working
as musical bellhop at a road
house called "Ryan's" and
wearing a flashy carrot top
and brass-buttoned uniform,
he acquired the sobriquet
"Red Buttons" a name that
has stuck with him through
out the years. From double
in-brass as singer and bellhop,
Buttons went to the Catskills
to become one of the Borscht
Circuit troubadours, but the
job didn't last long. He was
hired as a boy soprano, but
the transition from boyhood
caught up with him and when
the alto changed to baritone
he was fired.
Returning to Gotham at
the ripe age of 19, he found
only one professional door
open-the stage entrance at
Minsky's Gaiety Theater in
Times Square. After one year
of stooging, the Minsky broth
ers elevated Red to the top
banana spot. He proudly tells
me now that he was the last
comedian on stage when bur

meantime, Jose Ferrer had
taken an interest in the young
comedian. Buttons was Sched-

OF CARS AND CHARACTER

1t is hard to avoid meanings
in the recent survey at an Idaho
high school, setting off the con-
troversy over scholarship versus
student ownership of cars. 1t
showed no straight "a" students
having the use of car. Is per
cent of the "B" students having
cars, Al per cent of the &c" stu
dents, II per cent of the Cd"
students, and 83 per cent of those
with "F."
1t would be oversimplification
to say that we encourage scholar
ship by shifting the means of
locomotion from tires to shoe
leather. Many Phi Beta Kappa
drives a Cadillac. Nevertheless, a
searching significance is here.
For it has long been urged,
especially by socialists, unionists,
and "the Social Gospel" that we
must first take care of material
needs. Provide for the kingdom
of the flesh, and the kingdom
of the mind and spirit will flow
er from it.
If this were true, it would
seem that car ownership would
promote scholarship that
thought would depend upon
things, character upon cash, the
culture of the soul upon the but
tons we can push.
But the evidence is strongly
otherwise. Material well-being is
good, but only as it stems from
morality and meaning.
