been a dearth of new ideas to give
tinge of novelty to the dance floors
of the Nation.
Things have actually reached such
sorry pass in dancedom that long
discarded fads, such as the rumba,
have been revived in recent months
to keep the blase from lasping into
permanent pediatric passivity.
Ever since the advent of sound,
Hollywood rehearsal halls, in which
production routines are arranged for
pictures, have been the source OF
practically all the dance fads.
At present, all the studios are
willing to take a crack at anything
new and intriguing that seems to
possess a fair chance Of getting the
Nations feet moving in epidemic
style. Dance directors have been
called up to the front office and
ordered to turn their heads on their
feet.
Slightly Spectacular.
Paramount is already betting that
two of its new pictures will offer
routines certain to draw big hand
In the dance halls. One Is the
dig It." created by Fred Astaire
for his Second Chorus" and danced
by Fred and Paulette Goddard. The
other is the Dime Dance" created
by LIE Roy Prinz. studio dance direc-
tor. for Dancing on a Dime" The
latter. as you may guess, is designed
especially for the Lilliputian dance
floors.
The dig It." as we watched 1t,
seems a gay and slightly spectacu-
lar dance. which at times comes to
a jitterbug bubble. It's appeal
would be altogether in its sprightli-
ness.
The Dime Dance" is more grace
full and has a touch of the waltz
about it. However, the entire rou-
tine is executed within the radius
of few feet. The girl moves about
the boy The boy actually never
moves more than 6 inches from his
starting position. Chumminess is
the motive.
England Sent 1t Back.
Prinz claims almost every dance
fad within the past 10 years has
originated in Hollywood studios. He
points out that 1.-The carioca." "the

Walter was born in st. John, son
of a Canadian chain store owner.
He began singing in school and in
his early 20s went to Boston, hop
ing to put his voice to good &C
count. There he met the late E. E.
Give, managing a stock company.
He assured Give he could act, and
was given a chance to prove it in
George Bernard Shaw's You Never
Can Tell" And he proved that you
never can tell by coming through
with flying colors.
In Boston, he also became known
as an amateur entertainer who ac-
companied his own songs-a sort
of life-of the-party chap. At one
affair where Walter sat down to
play the piano, Fred Astaire was
guest. Fred tipped off news of his
find" to Dillingham; and Hammer
stein. They sent for Walter and
offered him the lead in a musical
opposite Mary Hay. Then followed
one tour after another-in drama,

otherwise perfecting his scenario
