this sort of thing. Not, however
the foresighted or squirrei-like
ones.
They stow away, well. such
things as Vera-Ellen.
She is Fred Astaire's latest, an6
liveliest. dancing partner and the
attractive image of her is on the
screen at the Capitol Theater ir
Belle Of New York" She was in
town in person not long ago and
this charter member of the Vera
Ellen fan club had breakfast with
her.
It was a pleasant breakfast but,

tightening one. Not many break
fasts are enlightening. a thing

Vera Ellen will tell you, for
example. what dancers do between
dances.
For one thing" she said in an
swer to this stock question. II
NOW lawns. Well, not exactly
lawns. but the one around my
small house. I live in the unfash-
ionable north end of Hollywood in
q small house with my mother 1t
is the sort of neighborhood where
one is entitled to NOV ones own
lawn without attracting attention.
Il do not always NOV my own
lawn. understand. but when the
mood seizes me, do. I learned it
when was schoolgirl In Cincin-
natl. A glrl never really forgets
how to NOW lawn. Besides it is
good exercise"
It is this sort of candor and SIM
plicity that made everyone like
Vera-Ellen when she was just a
child dancer on Broadway not
many years ago. One of the stories
that will go into the folklore of
the theater about her concerns the
time she was told Sam Goldwyn
wanted to sign her for $1,000 a
week. who is Sam Goldwyn?"
Vera-Ellen wanted to know.

The same sort OF honesty and
lack of pretense shows Tp in hei
discussion of that dance she and
Astaire do on ice skates In belle
Iof New York" It is q basic kinc
of waltz item. Its aim Is to be
simply pretty. not dazzling like a
big Ice show number.
I'D really like to learn q lot
more about skating" Vera Ellen
says. but why take q chance on
broken boneS?'
Having been dancing partner of
both Astaire and Gene Kelly,
Vera Ellen is a natural and pi-
quantity pretty-target for that
question: With which would you
rather dance? The implication Of
this question is. Which is the bet
ter dancer, Astaire or Kelly? 1t is
a question that all moviegoers
would like to have answered by an
authority.
They are both perfect. They
also are imaginative, creative and
each is a perfectionist," says
Vera Ellen. II honestly could not
choose between them"
AS a girl clearly on the way up
in Metros glittering talent cache,
what is Vera Ellen doing about
the future. Well, she is buster
studying than when she was an
A-student in high school back in
Cincinnati. Everybody wept with
joy at big reunion she had with
the school a few weeks ago. Her
subjects are different today, of
course.
I'm always working on my
dancing" she says. And I am
studying voice harder than ever
in my life. / don't expect to go
on forever as a dancer. AS ca
reer. 1t is briefer than most. What
I would like to do is not at all un-
usual. but wish / might grow into
an actress. Dramatic and comic,
I guess especially the latter"
There's question that is
politely skipped in the cases Of
most young actresses-and a large
of older ones-but it
is not necessary to evade 1t IN a
chat with Vera Ellen.
Does she read a lot?
Every chance I get. but I
don't get enough chances. There
is so much work to be done even
when one is not working on a
picture. I suppose this is the case
with everyone who enjoys read
ing. except for book critics"
