Full Faith And Credit Go To Garry's Aides week. When I look back, I think of my frantic early days with Durante and I shudder at what goes on—fir¬ ings, new writers, new formats, ul¬ cers.” In the last three years, Garry has had to fire two people. It takes 85 to run the show. “Talent is only the first thing a performer must have,” he as¬ serts. “Executive ability might even be the most important—the ability to get good people around you and then let them alone to do their jobs.” Looking on TV the way other men regard their office jobs, Garry works a five-day week, 9 to 5, except on Wednesdays, when he moderates the I’ve Got A Secret panel later at night. Evenings, he drives to Westchester with all the other workaday husbands, and doesn’t go out of his way to so¬ cialize with entertainers. He’s been known to go out on quiet parties Wednesday nights with show people, but to cafes not ordinarily frequented by them. “Too many of us know only what the boys at Lindy’s are saying. You know, of course, that outside of New York, no one cares what’s being said Meadows and Moore: Garry and panelist Jayne on the 'I've Got A Secret' show. here.” Because of this approach, Gar¬ ry’s closest friends are not in his busi¬ ness; they are in advertising agencies, textile mills. One is a metallurgist, another a doctor, another a former FBI agent. Although Garry never finished high school, he’s hardly uneducated. He reads a great deal, is willing to talk on any subject and does so—well. He has an appreciation of the profes¬ sions. His father was a lawyer, his brother is a doctor. He is certain that “No actor, by virtue of being an actor, could ever be great the way a doctor is great.” As an individual, Garry has attained a status most people in show business envy. He credits everyone connected with his show, at every possible chance. He says, “Too many men who are good take the bows alone. To me, writers are like the peasants of feudal times. They raise the crops but never get invited to partake of the feast.” Such personal feelings about writers may be rooted in his early days in radio, when he was a writer in his native Baltimore. He claims that there’s little difference between Moore ◄ Morgan and Moore: Garry says he's no comic but the dog seems to disagree.
