Dr. Alfred Adler, the Viennese psychologist who broke from Freud and started a school of his own, was talking about the recognizable earmarks of kindness in people. Once when there were no lodgings to be found in a German town because of conventions, Dr. Adler discovered himself in charge of a young woman who was looking for a room late at night. A strange man—and formidable looking—approached in the lobby of the hotel. He said he knew a single room that could be engaged and offered to escort the lady there. The psychologist thanked the man but declined the proposal but the girl—herself a student of psychology—asked the stranger his profession. "I am a lion tamer" he said. The girl was receptive immediately and went along with him confiding to Dr. Adler that animal trainers are the gentlest people in the world. And the master psychologist agreed. Clyde Beatty, for instance, sobs out loud at injured heroines at the movies.
