I had wondered about it since the day of my arrival. “ The home of P r in c e Alex ander Moisevich Deborin,” he explained. I looked at him curiously, sensing that this was a proud moment for Ray. He had saved the brick house until last, like a child relishing the last morsel. “ Of co u rse,” Ray explained further “ he has a city hom e too. But the fact is he spends the greater part of his tim e out here. He cra v es solitude.” “ Are you sure? I mean, wouldn’t it be fittin g to let the man know you’re glad to have him as a c iti zen?” “ We’ve tended to that.” Ray said I importantly. “ Three days after his DAN SEYMOUR arrival a committee made up of «very minute of their air tim e.” As leading citizens waited on the emcee of the Tuesday night “ We, prince and extended him a formal the People” and the Saturday night welcome.” He regarded me sagely. “ Sing It Again,” he has established “ We’re smart enough not to an a reputation for expert handling of tagonize the man by pestering him a variety of ad-lib-demanding situa to death.” tions.
