“Battery Complaint Refused Against Kaye”

The Victoria Advocate – Dec. 15, 1954

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 4—UP—The city attorney’s office Tuesday refused to issue a battery complaint against comedian Danny Kaye who said he grabbed a physician in self-defense after the doctor started a fight at International airport last month.

Assistant City Attorney Donald Redwine turned down the demand of Dr. Roland Marks, 51, for a complaint against Kaye and his manager, Edward Dukoff.

Marks claimed Kaye struck him “10 or 15 times” when he refused to move his car from a parking place at the airport Nov. 7.
