he almost starved when he
landed in this country 10
years ago.
Il landed here with about
$4,000, which I spent in a
week. In Europe, the money
is all in big numbers. I was
handing out tips like Anassis.
I stayed at the St. Moritz in
New York and in one week
had to move into a YMCA.
Il didn't know one word of
English and I couldn't get
anything to eat. No one ever
told me that most of the
restaurants in the United
States are run by Greeks. I
used to draw pictures of a
chicken and take them into
a restaurant.
Il was trying to tell them
I wanted some chicken to eat.

Gleason and Victor Jory stood
near the subway kiosk at
Forty-second street. A strange
man, in charge of a group of
40-odd people, kept shouting:
Come on, hurry up" Gleason
and Jory found themselves
pushed into the subway and
went along for the ride-to
Van Cortland Park. There
the leader walked them to a
tree, and whispered: There
it is" a black-headed gros-

"Bird-W a t C herS, Jackie"
Jory muttered, weaving. The
leader continued: And up
there-ah ha!-a blue grey
gnatcatcher" Are you
