CALLING
A few words on "Phonetiquefte' by the Commuters

ME TELEPHONE has been great source
l. of comfort and Illustration ever since
Don Ameche invented it, The telephone
company also says it is IAN instrument for
public relations" but I'm afraid they're
looking on the bright SIDE AS matter of
fact, the two places where I've found my
friends at their worst are in front of a
mirror and on the telephone.
Just consider some of the strange brands
OF telephonetiquette you can run into any
DAY out where live in Rockville Center
land don't believe it's one bit better in
whatever pleasant place you try to Sleep.
There are the people who let the telephone
ring and ring (haven't you sat in their
living rooms?) and take their time answer
Ing. And what about my time on the other
end as | neTously chew my. cigar? And
you probably know the impatient type who
lets the phone ring twice when he's calling
you and then hangs up? Generally you
PICK up the receiver just as the last faint
sound has registered, and more times than
not you may have sprinted the last twenty
I'VE feet to get over to the apparatus, but to
no avail. Mark him down as 'You never
know who"
can go on. There's the caller who uses
a loud booming voice, that forces you to
keep the earpiece about six inches from the
mead And the one who whispers SO softly
Oiia' you feel as if his call was a military
secret. And let me register a special beef
ior anyone I'm calling who acts high
presumed and picks up the instrument for
puollc relations and says "Yes?" in bored
voice. No compliments, either, to those,
mostly young, who forget that can hear
WINE they hold the phone and yell, dad,
) !nat crazy Alan King for you"
my own personal manager has lovely
way with him. When he calls, he goes right
mo The middle of the conversation, and
WITH he's finished he hangs up. No good

bye. Click-and that's the end of you. But
give me him any day over the talk-talk-
talk-talk-talk school,
Then there's the neighbor, God bless
him, who wants to complain that your dog
kept him awake by barking last night, and
he times the call to get you just as you're
baSking in hot shower, or sitting down to
dinner. My close friend Tony Martin has
a genius for this kind of timing, and he is
the telephoningest man ever met. Regard
less of where he is-Madrid, Paris, Louis
ville-he thinks nothing of picking up the
phone at any hour of the day or night and
calling. He phones his wife three times
day Funny thing about Tony, he never
calls person to person. It's always station
to station. So when Martin is on the phone
you're never quite sure where the call is
being made. He's great guy for phoning
after midnight. After my long association
with him, I'm convinced, when the phone
rings at 500 in the morning, it's Tony.
I've been on the receiving end of good
deal in my day, but no one ever gave me
as hard time on the telephone as my own
mother. When was visiting Israel last year,
| decided to give her special thrill and
call her, so put in the call and after six
or seven-hour delay finally got through.
The conversation went something like this:
Alan: 'Hello-Mom?"
Mother: Eyes, Alan. How are you?"
Alan: I'm fine. Having grand time.
Mother: where are you calling from?"
Alan: Tel Aviv, Israeli"
Mother: (In an exasperated voice. "Oh,
Alan-that's expensive!"
AND SHE HUNG UP!
Another thing the telephone company
says is that the telephone is an instrument
for making friends, and considering the
AT and T dividends, it seems boorish to
argue. But it's not that easy!
Goodbye.
