Danny Kaye talked to a festive overflow crowd in Sanders Theatre yesterday about hissing, children, shoes, the United Nations, and what he was going to talk about.
The program nearly did not come off, as Kaye, mistaking the intent of hisses which arose from the introducer's casual mention of Yale Law School, ran off the stage in horror. He curtsied to the loud cheers that greeted his return.
Interviews Children
Kaye also interviewed six-year-olds in the audience. When one ran crying from his questions, he observed "I conquer children."
Turning to the subject of shoes, he advocated a "Murry Space Shoe." He took off his own for exhibition and explained his attachment to their strange appearance by saying he was an "eccentric soul."
Finally despairing of further antics, he asked for questions from the audience. In response to one of these he described the work he was doing entertaining children abroad and raising funds for the United Nation's children program. He explained his effectiveness with foreign children by saying that, "Any time an adult makes an idiot of himself, he has a basis of communication."
