Physically, he is a cancer victim who cannot be certain the disease has been arrested. The 32-year-old Lee opened Friday night at the Kalia Gardens in WaiMki, his first engagement since undergoing treatment for cancer. Needing a haircut and stripped to the waist, Lee sat at a table at the night club the other day and dared the world to change him from the happy go-lucky beachboy he wants to be. ica IToakyo WATANABE I 3 tr se tf ing," Mike said.

"Wre never thought we'd make it this big," said Carl. "We've always been close real buddies. I guess that helped a lot." "When we got together," Mike said, "surfing was big in California. Nobody ever wrote songs about it until we did. And it paid off." How did they get the name, "Beach "A record promoter named us," Carl said.

"It was due to the fact that we sang about surfing," Mike explained. Brian writes most of the Beach Boys' hit tunes with some joint compositions with Mike. WTiere do they get the inspiration?

CINDY NAKASONE JUNE MASAE YOSHIDA NEW KABUKI snow Dining Dancing PHONE 702-205 or 749-236 OASIS SUPPER CLUB By EAHL WILSON NEW YORK It was three years ago yesterday that Marilyn Monroe was found dead and will you agree no other actress has come along to replace her in our affections and our sympathies? Were she alive today, Marilyn could be turning her gaspy, breathless little laugh on those who looked skeptical when she became a business woman. "The deal she made with Milton H. Greene, the photographer, set up Marilyn Monroe Productions, and produce 'The Prince and the Showgirl' with Sir Laurence Olivier, turns out to have been one of the the most astute business transactions she ever negotiated," says one of her Lee is building up a growing following among Islanders who believe he has the potential of becoming the next Hawaiian entertainer to make the big time.

But he wants no part of white shirts, ties, coats and other symbols of conformity. He was asked what his reaction would be if a Mainland talent scout discovered him, advised him to trim his hair and dress up with the possibility of becoming another Apaka. "I'd tell him to go ride a surfboard," Lee said. "I'd tell him to find himself another island to go somewhere ar.d play Captain Cook and leave me alone." Lee is being promoted by Don another entertainer of the unkempt school. "Don and I represent a rebellious force," Lee said.

"Don's a It doesn't matter how you look as long as you can do something. "I'm Hawaiian, and this is Hawaii. We're supposed to be relaxed." Lee is of Hawaii Chinese-Scots descent. He was born in Shanghai, where his parents William K. Billy) and Ethel Lee were Hawaiian entertainers.

He was brought to Hawaii when he was 5 and grew up as a skinny, insecure kid. He attended Kamehameha School for Boys, but says of that career: "I was busted. I was fooling around too much. I was what they call incorrigible. I was a little guy and I tried to act big." After being thrown out of Kam, Lee became a beach-boy.

"There were only a couple of professional beach-boys in those days," he said. "I was with a bunch of kids who just ran around. We lived and slept and ate on the beach." Lee drifted into show business, becoming a knife dancer and choreographer. As a dancer he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and in New York's Latin Quarter and in the Hawaiian Room of the Lexington Hotel. There he met his wife, singer Xani Lee.

Returning to Hawaii, Mrs. Lee got a job singing with Ho. Lee wanted to sing, but even his wife and his best friends insisted he had no talent. "Every time I'd start to sing they'd say, 'Kui, stop he recalled. "So I taught myself to sing.

I sang in the shower, like most people. But I sang more and tried harder. "Then I had to almost hit Don Ho over the head with a brick to convince him I was good enough to work with him." Lee began singing with Ho at Honey's, a small Kaneo-he tavern. Then he turned to composing, turning out "I'll Remember You," "Suck 'Em Up," "Ain't No Big Thing," "Lahainaluna" and "All Over Again." Most of Lee's songs he uses his full Hawaiian name Kui-okalani Lee on his compositions have been recorded by Ho. Lee has not yet cut a record, but is negotiating for an audition.

Lee worked sometimes with Ho, sometimes with Sterling Mossman, sometimes went out on his own. He was at Kanaka Pete's in Lahaina, Maui, when doctors verified his long-held suspicion he had cancer. "I had known, but I hadn't gone to a doctor," mined friends who knows the full story and the figures. Sure, they snickered about it at the time but MM managed to buy out Greene for under $100,000 and now there will be $50,000 or so coming into her estate from the picture and there should be more in years ahead. Greene conceived the project.

He was blasted but the figures show now he masterminded at least a minor, and perhaps a major, success. The Marilyn Monroe memorabilia will mostly wind up one day with Lee and Paula Strasberg and the Actors Studio except perhaps such personal things as are with old friends like Peter di Leon-ardi, the well known hairdresser. "Here," he told me recently, "is the white and silk beaded cocktail dress she had made in Hong Kong when she went there with Joe Di Maggio. "She wore it to entertain the troops. "Here," he added, sadly, "is some of her hair." He took it from a plastic container.

"I cut it for her one day in 1955 when she was just getting up and running to the analyst." On sky-blue Waldorf-Astoria stationery, Marilyn wrote a note to Peter's mother after the hair-shortening, along with white peonies, saying, "Just because you have such a wonderful son."

"You know, you feel in your bones that something is seriously wrong, but being a Hawaiian well, you just don't go to the doctor." The cancer is in Lee's neck and sinus passages.

He underwent X-ray therapy at the Queen's Hospital and hopes he has the disease licked. "But it's too soon to be sure," he said. What about his future in show business? Lee shrugs off his growing popularity. "What I'd really like to do is to be able to compose enough things so I could make enough each year that Nani and I could knock off and just go sailing," he said. Ray's Corner NEWPORT, R.I.

(UPI) Singer Frank Sinatra and 19-year-old blonde starlet Mia Farrow sailed from this resort city aboard a chartered yacht yesterday amid rumors that they intend to marry. Joining the pair were Rosalind Russell, Merle Oberon, Claudette Colbert, and their husbands. The 49-year-old Sinatra reportedly was headed for the island of Martha's Vineyard off Cape Cod on the first leg of a month-long cruise off New England. Sinatra was a headliner at the recent Newport jazz festival and returned Monday aboard the 168-foot yacht. He played golf yesterday while Miss Russell and Miss Farrow went shopping.

Last night they made Are they surfing enthusiasts themselves? "We all surf or water ski when there's time," Dennis said. "Trouble is, we haven't had much time since we started making records." "Our last vacation was last summer, when we were in Hawaii," Carl said. "We'll be here for a week so it'll be a brief vacation for us." From where did they get the falsetto vocal effect that is characteristic of the Beach Boys' sound? "Brian gets the credit," according to Carl. "He's always had a high-pitched voice. And the Four Freshmen have influenced Brian's tunes and some of our numbers." Drummer Dennis, who sports the longest hair, generally is considered the "sexy" Beach Boy, evoking squeals, from female fans.

"I don't understand it," he said. "I think I'm the ugliest. It takes five to really make a group swing, you know." All of the Beach Boys but Al are single. daughter, Grace, was the heroine. The lighthouse was on Longmore Island, off the eastern coast of Great Britain.

At about the time of sunrise on a September day, Darling and his daughter saw the remains of a vessel that had been broken to pieces in a rocky area. Getting into a rowboat, father and daughter made a daring journey to the rescue. As a result of their work the lives of eight men and a woman were saved. News of the heroic deed spread far and wide. In the months which followed scores of admirers wrote to Grace Darling to ask for a lock of her hair as a souvenir.

At a different place along the British coast, near Cornwall, is the famous Eddystone lighthouse. Standing at one end of the English Channel, it gives warning to ocean liners and other vessels. It rises from rocks that are covered during high tide. The present Eddystone lighthouse is the fourth that has stood over these rocks. The first was put up 250 years ago after a series of wrecks took place in the area.

Sinatra and Miss Farrow, who stars in the television series "Peyton Place," have been dating almost steadily for more than six months.

Mia admits frankly that she is in love with the balding singer. She and Sinatra frequently make the rounds of restaurants, parties and social events. At one time when the marriage rumors were circulating, Mia's mother Maureen O'Sullivan said, "He should be marrying me." Mia, whose fathe rwas the late director John Farrow, has not been dating anyone else recently. The marriage rumors have persisted for about four months. In Westport, Miss O'Sullivan said that all she knew about the cruise was that there were a great many people in the party aboard the boat and that Mia was one of them.

She said she knew nothing of a possible marriage. Sinatra, whose last wife was Ava Gardner, is legally free to marry. He has said he intends to marry again but that he does not want his next wife to work. He broke his one-time engagement with dancer Juliette Prowse when she insisted on continuing with her career. On the other hand, Mia has said she would be glad to give up her career for a husband.

Taking care of the lights, he has helped to keep vessels from striking rocks during the night or in times of daytime fog. There has been heroic work by lighthouse keepers.
