He dances up the sloping trunk Of
a banyan tree. leaps onto the con-
crete wall of an old .castle, then
Jumps from parapet to parapet, 7
feet apart, until he reaches the top
OF balcony 40 feet above ground.
Then, without missing a musical
beat, he swings from a dangling
velvet rope IS feet through the air
to the roof of an adjoining castle.
There, still dancing, he maneuvers
down the roof to balcony, where
he meets Katherine Grayson. his
leading lady in Anchors Aweigh." /"
In his rehearsals, Kelly missed
only once. That was when he mis-
judged the distance on the swing
and crashed into the side of the
castle, knocking him breathless.
That's the hardest wall I ever
butted against in my whole dancing
career" said Gene.
