Danny Kave's Rise To Film Stardom By LEON GUTTER MAN (Copyright 1951, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc. , HOLLYWOOD — Danny Kaye never took a dancing lesson, can't read a note of music and never has told jokes, yet he has become famous as a singing, dancing comedian. He playS two roles in "On the Riviera," his latest picture, and has more girls falling in love with him than the Clark Gables and the Tyrone Powers have in a dozen films. He started out working as an insurance adjustor and was fired when he caused the com- pany to lose $40,000 on a mis- take he made. He once taught President Roosevelt, who was one of his greatest admirers, to bark like a dog. As an actor, he set out to sing like Bing Crosby, who was his lrc at the time. but he did not sound enough like Bing to get anyone interested in his voice. He rattled off the names of 50- foreign composers in less than a minute in a song he did for "Lady in The Dark," and the song convulsed Broadway audi- ences cc much that he zoomed to stardom overnight. He became the idol of Eng- land v., hen he visited London last year. Thousands stood in line all night long to get in to see his zany antics. And in Toronto several weeks ago 340,- 000 turned out at a fair to see him. He had only $=10 . to his name at his wedding to Sylvia Fine 10 years ago. He is run- ning out of imitations and will have to imitate a fellow named Danny Kaye in his new film at 20th Century Fox. * * * David Raskin, brilliant yopng composer-conductor whose or- iginal music for films as "For- ever Amber" and the recently successful " T h e Magnificent Yankee" has won plaudits from critics and music lovers alike, has been signed to *rite and conduct the score for Producer- Director William ("The Heiress") Wyler's new picture "Carrie," which stars Laurence Olivier and Jennifer Jones.

It will feature an 80-foot tower of Tablets, and a 100-root long wail to extend from the base of the tower will portray in bas relief the struggle of humanity to fulfill the com- mandments urged on by an imposing figure of Moses. The monument is to cost $500,000 and the funds will be raised by public subscription.—Maurice R. Shochett in Baltimore Jewish Times. An eerie midnight hour tolls, •And from their tomb emerges A ghostly horde of brooding souls, Grim echoing of purges. The. plaintive group stands si- lent ly, There is no anguished cry, In Solemn unanimity They mutely question: "Why?" As they return to endless sleep God humbly bows His head, And sad, the countless mourn- ers weep— No answer for these dead. New Year Greetings is a story with 11 animals sten- cils. Based on the forthcoming movie, another of the books in this series is Walt Disney's "Alice in Wonderland Finds the Gar- den of Wild Flowers."
