The Cast.

worth also handles song or so with
out finching on her part or the
audiences and she is fully up to the
little acting required of her in the
role OF a saucy girl who enjoys being
pursued. Moreover, she looks alto
gether like a girl worth pursuing
which is highly important even if
you are good dancer.
Sidney Lanfield in directing
You'll Never Get Rich" might have
been OF more help to Astaire if he
could have found a way of tighten
ing up the story, a trick that has
eluded a lot of other directors. too.
AS a substitute he relies on quick
shifts to divert the mind from the
looseness Of it all and invariably
has an Astaire dance to fall back
upon when the going becomes heavy.
Columbia, which is new in the
musical field, was not too new to
provide the film with a suitably
slick facade, rich looking but never
so large that the performers get
lost in the architecture. 1t is one
OF the advantages of being not SO
rich as some other studios that
might be named if one wanted to
be cad.
1t is generally sturdy cast that
has been hired to assist Astaire.
most of them playing strictly stock
roles. The most impressive of the
lot is Benchley, of course; next Cliff
Navarro. whose double talk is one of
the best features of Army life as
lived in You'll Never Get Rich"
If everybody, especially the story,
didn't get so tired in the second
half the praise for the film could
be couple of cuts higher.
The Billingtons. a fresh, talented
dance team; Phyllis Colt. who sings
pleasantly enough, and the comedy
team OF Willie, West and McGinty

their concerts under the Whittall
Foundatlon have been many. In
order to familiarize themselves thor
oughly with the priceless Stradavari
instruments they are under contract
to use for these library programs.
the musicians make this CITY their
headquarters so that they may re-
hearse on the instruments, which
are not allowed to leave the library.
They have won the esteem of the
music public here and have a large
following, and for that reason it was
decided two concerts of the same
music would be necessary to accom-
modate the audience.
The group usually provides some
thing new for their programs either
In the sense of being unknown to
the general chamber music public
or something seldom PLAYED. Last
evening it was the Roger Quartet in
E Flat Major, Op. 10e." Rogers
works were for many years looked at
askance, but time and progress have
revealed much and simplified much
In them to the modern ear. The
strong mixture of poetic imagination
and plain musical mathematics that
constitute Rogers art is clearly Wis
1ble in this quartet. Gracious and
lovely harmonies are side by side
with measures of involved mechan-
les void of any real inspirational
value.
However, there is sincerity, great
talent and a strong urge In his
music that is impressive. In spite of
heaviness and redundancy in this
work the line of inspiration runs
clearly and towers abova the rest.
Inc players gave it carefully an
alyzed and emotionally comprehend
ing reading that was the best per-
formance of the evening.
The quartet of musicians began to
draw on their special interpretive
gifts in the Schubert Quartet
Movement in c Minor" and the
Mendelssohn "Andante and Scherzo.
Op. 3D." which preceded the Roger,
two shorter works of great charm
and beauty. In these their tempera-
mental flair, their superfine musi-
clanship and their resources in
shadlngs were brought into full play
The program opened with Mo-
zart's Quartet in B Flat Major
K. V. 589.' This is not the most
interesting of the composers works
IN this form, the bright spirit of
1nventiveness seeming to languish.
The rather monotonous tone and
the lack of variety were not
smoothed away by the manner in
which the quartet played it. They,
too, lacked the spirit and JOY of re-
creation that was present in the
remainder of the program. Just the
same it is difficult to equal the
superb ensemble and the oneness of
thought that these musicians share
so markedly.

divorce suit will be brought by the
former Lii Damita, probably in the
Los Angeles courts.
During the seven years of their
stormy partnership the Flynns have
been separating, reconciling and
separating again. This last cleavage
is absolutely final, according to
Errol.
Mind you. I shall always love
Lii" he insisted. She's the best
friend I ever had in my life And
she can call on me any time for
anything But I guess I was just
not meant to be a married man.
1t was a good experience for me.
But never again!'
At the moment Mr.. Flynn's name
is being linked with this and that
New York beauty-in fact. he ad-
mits an imminent date with a girl
"A beautiful girl I used to see a lot
of two years ago and Lii didn't
like her" But he insists that as
long as he draws conscious breath
there will not be second Mrs.
Flynn.
Having heard this sort of state
ment before, your reporter is little
skeptical and offered to bet the
young man that he will be married
again within two years. After all,
she reminded him. you make S6,5OO
week and you're not bad looking
and women rather go for your type.
IT know all the angles" he replied.
"and I'm going to watch out. Ill
bet you 5000 to $40 that don't
marry again before October, 1913
at least He insisted on signing
and giving me a document to this
effect So I guess he means it.
Enrol is fraction dazed with his
new freedom and is uncertain how
best to employ it. It's wonderful" ,"
whether I may do this or should I
do that. I know one thing. I don't
want to go back to Hollywood. With
conditions as they are today every
thing out there seems SO unreal. I
want to do something more exciting.
Il have a great admiration for
Stirling Hayden he continues. Il
never met the guy, but they tried to
pin a feud on us. Well, there's a
man who had the courage to give up
Hollywood career and the money
and fame that go with it. I'm told
Evening star., 1941-10-18

that he few back to Hollywood, at
his own expense, walked into his
producers Office and said, I came
back to tell you I'm through for
good I wish" says Enrol wistfully,
that Id had the CUTS to do that
several years ago
Flynn tells me that he would like
to go to England. and see for my
self what goes on. Id like TO do
some real fighting for a change.
But I've got so used TO phoney bat
ties and phoney bullets I wouldn't
know what had hit me until it was
too late to make any difference,
which would be swell"
I'm not sure how much of the
above paragraph belongs to the
BLACK cow. E., milk with a dash
of whiSkey, or vice verSa-that Err
rol was downing, but I have never
seen him in more serious vein. And
I think he really means it about
wanting TO go back TO England to
refute the critics who write pa
tronizingly about Enrol being a great
flghter-on the screen.
AS preliminary to participation
in war, Flynn and his friend and
movie double. Buster Wiles. are 60
ing to be hoboes for a bit After
hunting weekend in Baltimore
the two men will empty their
pockets of cash, with the exception
Of $40 or SIS, Enrol will grow a
beard and wear old clothes for a dis
guiSe, and together they will tramp
through the hills of Tennessee,
sleeping where they can and getting
food as they can. I'd like to be at
the back door when Hobo Flynn
turns up and begs "a bite O. food,
lady, I'm starving"
Before leaving for Ell Morocco and
his date of the evening, Flynn gives
out enthusiasm for his recently
completed picture, They Died with
Their Boots On" which is about
Gen. Clusters last stand. It's the
only good picture I've had since
Captain Blood" he tells me. The
when and what of Flynn's next
movie are uncertain.

To get everything authentic, Miss
Day tagged along after autograph
hunters in New York, watched them

dance, as it very well should, and
there Is dancing in between, but the
Astaire comedy and singing styles
are brought out frequently for some
nice exercise. Comedy, indeed, gets
an excellent break throughout
You'll Never Get Rich" a consid-
cradle share of it provided by Robert
Benchley as an inept roue whose
misdeeds are constantly tripping
him. The accent on the two has a
tendency to obscure Porter's music,
which may not be the best the
composer ever wrote, but, neverthe-
less. is not lacking in the capricious
note.
For background You'll Never Get

Of his campmates. That is a neat
variety of frames for demonstrating
that the man is unexcelled when it
comes to tapping any audience into
giddy state of excitement and
wonder. Astaire makes the most of
it with dances of new coinage that
are the equal of anything he has
done heretofore on the screen.
Miss Hayworth turns out to be
the partner for which Astaire has
been looking since Miss Rogers de-
cided to devote herself to a less
agile form of art. A skilled dancer
In her own right, although Holly
wood never thought to use her so,
