From the S&S archives: Teeners greet Danny; comic wows EC GIs

RHINE-MAIN AIR BASE, March 17 — Danny Kaye, the "Kid From Brooklyn" who made London forget for a month that austerity was around, arrived here this morning slightly green in complexion after a rough trip from Paris, but recovered sufficiently by evening to wow two packed houses of 1,000 GIs each at this base's Gateway Theater.

A quartet of teen-agers, American dependent pupils at Frankfurt High School, were on hand at the airport to greet Danny with outthrust autograph pads in the proper American form.

They said they were representing their sorority, "JUSG," which Miss Dorothy Longley deciphered as '`Just Us Sweater Girls."

From Rhine-Main. Danny was whisked to Special Services Hq. at Bad Nauheim, where he and his entourage lunched with Brig. Gen. R. V. Rickard and Col. E. J. Walsh, Special Services CO and deputy CO; hurried through a rehearsal with an orchestral combination selected from the 686th AF Band; and rushed back to Rhine-Main for two capacity shows.

Danny panicked both audiences with his double-talk and blitz ditties, and during the closing performance shared the spotlight with Miss Moneda Auclair, age 2½, who attracted his attention by her obvious appreciation of his efforts.
