THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 10, 1965-33 Sherman Imparts 'Gift of Laughter' in Autobiography On Aug. 6, 1962, Allan Sherman, an unemployed television produc- er, picked up his weekly relief check at the Hollywood office of the state unemployment agency. Later in the day, he recorded an album of folk-song parodies at a studio. Eight weeks later, it was released as "My Son, the Folk Singer." Overnight it became a na- tional sensation. Sherman awoke to find himself rich, famous, the possessor of six agents and a business manager and a concert booker who was booking him into Henry Carnegie Hall. He also suffered a nervous breakdown, a heart attack and a severe case of neurotic anxiety. His autobiography, "A Gift of Laughter," will be published by Atheneum this fall. It is a so-called show business autobiography; yet it is like no earlier specimen of this genre, for it is relentlessly un- sparing of everything — including Allan Sherman. Sherman takes nothing seriously, least of all him- self. He casts a sardonic and sar- castic eye over all experience. Exotic Cocktails CITY 1 Blk.

TE 1-0775 Free Parking "A Gift of Laughter" is also a merry case history in the Ameri- can success syndrome. It begins with a strange and bittersweet childhood in a broken home. Adol- escence is followed by college and love, the army, marriage, writing songs, being a failure and starv- ing in New York, psychoanalysis and making money in television, and a flight to the suburbs. The title is from the famous opening line of Scaramouche: "He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad."

Special Sunday Menu, 12 Noon to 5 P.M. 682-0600 Danny Raskin's LISTENING HARRY KOLTONOW proudly displays a chandelier at his North- west Electric Supply that interior decorators will go ga-ga over .. In fact, of the more than a thou- sand fixtures on display, it is the only one not for sale! . . . The gorgeous piece hung in a syna- gogue bombed out in Prague dur- ing World War II . . . The fixture, estimated by Harry to have been made in the 1700s, was smashed and brought over from Europe by an antique dealer . . . Harry had it restored and has refused a $1,000 offer for it . . . It hangs by itself in majestic elegance as befitting such a true work of art . . . An oddity of the fixture is the Stars of David that surround it . . . All have eight points which, it is noted in architectural history, crops up every so often instead of the usual six . . . There has never been an accounting for this. * * * AMERICANS ARE GETTING stronger . . . Twenty years ago it took two people to carry $10 worth of groceries .. . Today our four-year-old son, Scott, can do it. * * * MICHAEL WOOLF from Pas- saic, N.J., civil defense commis- sioner for Passaic County, is visit- ing and staying with brother Sammy and wife Ann . . . First thing he did was to. check out the basement to see if the shelter was properly stocked! . . . While pick- ing up Michael from Metropolitan Airport, Ann had grandsons, Randy, 6, and Scott, 21/2, sons of Dr. Roy and Jackie Woolf . . . Waiting for the plane to arrive, Ann sent them looking in coin slots of telephone booths all over the airport . . . She put pennies in a few, and Randy came out screaming when he found a dime she had placed in one . . . But grandma's way of keeping them occupied has turned into what is a continuous game . . . Now every time they see anything even re- sembling a phone or coin slot, they rush over to find out if any money has returned! * * * DON APEL at Bauman-Roggin Insurance, likes this one . . . about a man going into an insurance of- fice to report his car stolen and that he would like to get his money . . . The insurance execu- tive was polite but firm, "Sorry, we do not give you the money, we replace the car with a new one.". . . The man answered in- dignantly, "If that's the way you do business, you can cancel the policy on my wife." * * * IT WAS ELLEN MAZELS' first baby-sitting job . . . Everything went fine except for one slight oversight, as she explained later to her mother, Ruth . . . Said Ellen, "The lady showed me where the TV was, where to find the pop and the potato chips and even the candy .. . But it wasn't until I heard someone crying that I realized she'd forgotten to tell me where to find the baby." * * * SEEING SIGNS . . . by Ben Fireman in a taxicab .. . "Please do not discuss politics with me. My specialty is astrophysics." * * * DISC JOCKEY Jack Spector in New York was broadcasting one Yam Kippur ... A shocked gentle- man called him during the pro- gram and said, "How can you, a nice Jewish boy, be working on Yom Kippur?" . . . "I'm not work- ing," Jack replied. "I'm on tape." "Oh, excuse me," said the caller. "I didn't know."
