Lightning Nits
Twice For This
Young Singer
By VERNON SCOTT
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. II <U.B—
Guy Brion, a one man internation-
al set who boasts Hawaiian. Fren-
ch, Japanese and English ancestry,
is a confirmed believer in the ad-
age about lightning striking twice
in the same place.
Guy, a handsome 22-year-old
singer, owes his new-found faith to
a nightclub and its proprietor. Two
and a half years ago Guy averag-
ed «2^*K> a week. Since last Au-
gust he hasn't earned enough to
'make the down payment on an air-
mail stamp.
But this week he opened his act
for the second time at the plush
Mocambo on the Sunset Strip.
When he opened there three years
ago it started a spectacular jump
to the top of the night club cir-
cuit.
Things went fine for- about six
months when Uncle Sam beckon-
ed and Guy found himself making
#75 a month as a Marine Corps
private. He used to pay that much
for laundry bills.
"That was all right with me,"
the singer laughed. "I knew I'd be
able to finish my hitch and. start
where I left off. Was I surprised!
"My partner, Charlie Durand,
was studying opera when 1 got out
and I had to start thinking about
makings living as a sirnrle act.
"Funny thing about being in
show business." he said. "When
other guys get out of the service
they have their old jobs to go back
tto, but with entertainers its dif-
| ferent. A newcomer has to start
j at the bottom again."
The dark haired baritone knock-
ed on doors, looked up old friends
and shot a few angles to get baek
to the top, "tike one of those cor-
ny movie musicals when a song
c here in the f nited States T"
"About 12 million. I'd say," Bob
tnd dance man is down on his
iuck."
He kept knocking tilt he appro-
ached: the Moeambo's Charlie Mor-
rison who agreed to launch the
-inger's career for the- second
time.
"It's up to me now," Gay sighed.
He gulped and left his dressing
■ >om for the stage. The audience
couldn't see that every time < uy
put hrs hands behind his back bis
fingers were tightly crossed.
-r. Good fast hall. No curve, no
slow ball."
Of Stamps and Screw Bulb ^
"About these stamp collectors,
E butted in.
"Didn't seem to have much or a
screw ball, either.''
"How many stamp collectors are
Fellers went on. "Seemed Kke
every time t changed pace, they
batted me all over the tot."
"Make any money Tor the
ernment out of these stamp.1
tors?"
"Sure, that's a good question,"
the man said. "We print new te-
sues for e*r ts- a thousand and
we get $.'!n a thousand from col-
lectors. Best of it is that few ot
the stamps ever find their way Oil-
to letters. Saves the letter earriem
a lot of bunions and lis a lot (if
expense.
"I remember one day, there was
a little left-hander Up to bat. A
sucker for a fast ball, I thought.
The bas *s were jammed, and, sur
they never did find that baB."
"What makes a stamp valu-
able ?"
"Well, they can be rare—Bketjbe
time we printed an airplane Ujjj&fe
down on a stamp. Only about a
thousand ever got out. I'd like -to
own a half dozen of those.

"How about commemorative
stamps?" ' - . '-"T
"We print only ItH-mrttion- of
these, and an awful tot of them go
to collectors," Fetters said. "But
you'd have to keep one a long
time to make money unless we gat
something upside down or side wise
on 'em. But then you always cap

quite awhile to get the side nut
in that game, but after nine
came in, I finally did."
