Errol points out with perfect logic,
every time a paper prints a report OF
impending divorce with Wife Lii Da-
mita, the latter is very upset.
Fortunately, Lili's very sensible
woman" Enrol says, or she would even
be more upset. AS matter Of fact,
when Errol recently visited Lake Ia
hoe, which necessitated a one-night
stop at the Reno graveyard of mar
riages-Lili warned him every one
will say you are getting a divorce"
Which Is Just what every one did
say. But Enrol swears that had he re-
allied this before he would most cer-
tainly have visited Lake Tahoe via
another route.
Before dropping the subject of the
Flynn marital status. 1t Is only fair
to place on record that it is true sort
of truce has been declared between
the couple. The erstwhile extremely
possessive Lili has agreed that Enrol
can be free-to the extent Of short or
prolonged jaunts with bachelor friends.

In it you will find a better Mickey
Rooney than you have seen in many

thing) involved in the extremely seri-
Gus and at the same time hilarious
travail Of his awakening interest (cine-
matically speaking, of course) in the

that involves Mickey with Judy Gar

~ OUNDLESS enthusiasm was
- the keynote of the final
Water Gate sunset concert
- this season presented last
night by the National Symphony Or
chestra with DR.. Hans Kinder di-
recting. Absent for several weeks,
replaced during that time by several
guest conductors, the founder of the
National Symphony organization was
greeted by cheers and prolonged
applause coming from record
breaking audience which, this time,
by far exceeded the seating capacity
Of the grounds.
With all additional chairs filled,
with people crowding steps reserved
for passage and with those standing
on bridges, some $4,000 music lovers
braved the threatening clouds which
foretold downpour. AS the last
chord OF Spanish music filled the air,
heavy rain drops frightened many
away. There were several recalls for
Garcia Goya, who gave an outstand-
ing exhibition of her art of the
Spanish dance. Rain prevented en-
cores, although at least 1000 peo-
pie stayed to hear three of the four
scheduled numbers In the second
part of the program, played by the
orchestra. and an address by c. C.
Cappel, manager Of the organization.
who thanked the patrons for their CO.
operation and support. Mr.. Cappel
emphasized the circumstances which
necessitated four postponements in
the series of IL evenings and spoke
of the deficit brought on by inclement
weather. He expressed also the hope
that the summer concerts may con-
tinue in the future and become a
permanent part of the cultural life
Of Washington.
The program opened with the
Overture" to Russian and Lud-
milla," by Glinka, followed by Cesar
Franck's Symphony in D Minor"
which won democratic majority
of votes" as DR.. Kinder put it, over
schubert's diminished Symphony"
Considering the extreme popular
ity OF this masterpiece, one may won-
der how it was possible that so years
ago the attitude of the public to-
ward it was hostile. DR.. Kinder
gave q beautiful reading, weaving the
many subordinate details into
thoughtful, comprehensive whole.
Contrary to usual practice. the audi
ence broke into applause between the
movements.
1t Is not often that one has an OPP
portunity to see as bewitching a per-
sonality as that of Nine. Goya, who
by the sheer strength of her talent
and the impulse from within was
able to infuse the traditional steps
OF national dances with a new mean
ing. Beautiful to look upon, tall and
slender, stunning In a variety OF
costumes appropriate to every dance,
Garcia Goya arrested the attention
OF the multitude, which breathlessly
followed her every move.
Aside from the dance, Nine. Goya Is
q virtuosa Of the castanets, which in
her agile hands take on the dignity Of
Q musical instrument capable OF
portraying every subtle shade Of an
emotion. Such crescendi, diminuen-
di, staccati, accents and such varie-
ty of ripping sounds alone would have
been sufficient to cast g. lasting SPELL

will be followed by the new Enrol
