Hello Bunk,
Back at the old globe trotting habit
again, son! Just on a little larger
scale this time. Doing a little heavy
game hunting here in Australia, that
could be kangaroos or the kind we
used TO do at night back home.
Looks like a pretty nice country
except that north is where south
should be and when you're just fin
ishing off Saturday mite Pm in the
middle of Sunday. Fast man!
And 1 can see right now that it
will probably cost Uncle Sam about
$4,000 to teach me to drive on the
wrong side of the road.
I'd rather ride with Carter Davis
in his SO standard Chew, when he
was at his worst, than to ride with
some of the boys here in traffic. Just
takes time 1 guess. But you'll have
to watch me when I get home.
I guess you know also that the
money here runs by pounds, shillings,
and pence. I'm getting on to that.
I'll write again soon, Son! Let
me know what the score is back home
Lay off my private stock and take
care of yourself.
Best of luck,
Jim

Director Gregory Ratoff thinks OF
the Cradle leg art as a paying at
traction to the public, this Is what
he did:
He had the script boys write in
eight added sequences IN strictly
Dynamite, which show her in vari-
Gus stages Of undress-because he
thought the two novelty dance num-
bers contained in the original script
didn't show of the actress curves
to the best advantage.
Danced Herself . Blister.
But that wasn't all they wrote
in, either.
Miss Cradle danced in one number
in front of the cameras for two
hours before Ratoff was satisfied 1t
was exactly perfect. But, in doing
so, she wore a blister on one of her
feet. So the director had the
script boys write in that angle, and
you'll see Miss Cradle in the picture
dancing until she gets a blister on
her foot.
When that particular sequence
was over, the tall, corpulent direc-
tor, with cigaret protruding at q
rakish angle from foot-long hold
er, walked over and smiled at hel
with deep satisfaction.

sian accent, you were wonderful
This scene suits me now, even if ii

not satisfied with it, we'll stay here

Waldorf Astoria.
Remembers A Horse.
Tony, who has been paid as much
as $2,250 a week for dancing, has
great respect for his contemporaries,
especially for dancers like Fred
Astaire and Ray Bolger. The satiri-
cal dances Of Paul and Grace Hart
man amuse him. He finds them q
little flattering, too, because he
holds that his art must be pretty
sound II 1t can be burlesqued.
He can recall grimly and humor-
ously his juvenile days when he
worked for So q week after school
hours and So week in vacations
making deliveries for butcher.
He likes to remember gleefully, too,
when an So bet he made on a horse
called Jim L. paid OF at 20-to-1
at the Fort Erie race track.
He used that $3.50 to get away
to New York, to the great distress
Of his father who had no faith in
a dancing career.
But he is likely, as he recalls
these fading memories, to look
across at the accompanist at the
ivory ~colored grand piano in the
studio and suddenly lose himself in

Tony De Marco weighs lat, has
legs and shoulders like steel and
doesn't worry about his condition.
He smokes occasionally, takes a
drink now and then and sleeps
rather badly, probably because he

strength comes mainly from eat

Last July, when he and Sally
made their first public appearance

NEW YORK

: NEW YORK
People OF sentimental inclinations
who are privileged to watch Tony de
Marco and his current partner,
Sally, rehearse q new dance In
Tony's studio apartment atop the
Ziegfeld Theater like to cherish the
notion that the late great Florenz
himself specially hovers over them.
AS one whose intelligence un-
willingly comprehends ghosts, Tony
harbors no such silly fancies. He is
concerned principally with the idea
OF being a great dancer and has
neither time nor desire to dwell on
anything so impalpable as shadow
from the past.
Not even his own past distracts
him, save briefly and practically,
from the present. Like all wise
show people, he Is acutely aware
that nothing is so tiresome in the
world of entertainment as yester-
days success.
Conversely, he is deeply aware Of
the future and of his enduring in
debtedness to the Tony de Marco Of
IT who left the parental truck farm
at Fredonia, N. Y, near. Buffalo, 27
years ago to become one OF the
worlds greatest dancers.
Naturally, the Tony of II could
hardly foresee himself as the owner
of Is suits of dress clothes, 10 dozen
shirts, 300 white ties and nearly 100
pairs of dancing shoes.
Z Nor could that Tony, slim, brown
eyed. gentle of speech and manner,
realize the weight of the self-im-
posed burden he was shouldering
when he shelved Ceres for Terpsi-
chore and stole away to the big town
and big time.
Never Casual About Work.
The older Tony does realize it, and
even when he is working in his
garden at Oceanside, Long Island,
he is likely to be thinking of new
dances.
The latest example of his inven-
tiveness is The Dainty Miss" a
dance which he and Sally have been
rehearsmg for presentation when
their engagement in Eddie Cantor's
:Banjo Eyes" ends. Tony has no
idea when this will be, since the
show is a Broadway success. But he
never has been one to be casual or
improvident when 1t comes to his
work, and the prospect Of another
million steps appeals to him rather
than appalls him.
Flowers were in his mind the
other day when he dashed into the
studio high above Sixth avenue for
a rehearsal with Sally, and he kept
barking back to Oceanside, where
he had spent a days release from
work, to the forsythia and ram
bier roses and to the merry time
Teddy, his Doberman Pinscher, had
while Tony worked in the garden.
Tony's eyes were bright and live
", his face tanned and his trim.

restless that he could have passed
for 80 even in the April sunshine
that slanted through the windows
to the long, blue mirror before
which the De Marcos work. The
mirror reflected him and Sally in
a kind of gloom likely to cast down
the spirits Of anybody less resili-
ent than Tony De Marco.
