All Danny needs is a twist of the heart to shift from a kid with a shoe-box bank to a pixie with a double-talk jabber. ■Two kids grew in Brooklyn— on the selfsame street_and never met. Sylvia's father was a dentist. Danny minded his office for a dollar and a quarter a week, but never ran into his daughter. They attended the same high school Sylvia went in for music and dramatics. Danny was wrapped up in baseball and lived for the day he could start pre-medical work. He didn't so much as join a debating club. Years later he walked into a New York loft building to rehearse for a show. The lyric-writer, a dark-haired girl, sat at the piano. They were introduced. "Sylvia Fine— Danny Kaye— " "And if I hadn't met her," he says, "I wouldn't be where I am today." Where he is today, is in a class by himself. Try to bracket or compare him with anyone else, and you're lost. The most original talent since Chaplin, somebody called him. Over four years ago, he became the rage of New York. Thanks to Samuel Goldwyn, he now belongs to the millions.
