My Dad was close friends with John Daniels at one time. They were in fact like brothers. I have heard several times that they had fall outs with one another like clock work. I saw that John Daniel passed away a year or so ago, it sounded like he went through some of the same issues my Dad had at the end of his life. I spoke to John after my Dad passed and he purchased a few items from the collection back in the mid 1990s.
While they may have run hot and cold, I know my Dad tried to keep a warm spot in his heart for his old friend. One way I know that is he saved a review of It's Magic from 1967. The second half of the show was entirely John Daniels revue. Here is how it appeared in the Times:
It seems to me that he saved it for twenty five years because he was proud of his old friend.
