Hollywood Sichts And Sounds | By Robbin Coons ! HOLLYWOOD, Cagl.,, Oct, 4—The first really cheerful set I've seen in this town since war broke out in Europe was that of “Broadway Melody of 1940"—which shows what music can do to lift the spir Nobody was talking about war; the chorus girls (who always have just finished their routines and disappeared immediately before T walk on a set) were missing, but Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell, both trim and neat in white, were going through their “Begin with Beguine” routine. The set—huge, with a dark blue, highly polished floor, one section of which was mirrored—was cheering in itself. High dark blue walls, studded with electric stars, surrounded two sides; a third side, made of mirrors, reflected the motions of Powell and Astaire; before the orchestra, and along the unmirrorred side, graceful formally designed “palm trees” of silver reared shining heads. And to the wild music of the playback, Astaire and Powell went into their dance. “Begin the Beguine.” Do you know what it means? Ever since I first heard it, which is a while ago, I've been asking people. Musicians, jitterbugs who were in the jyve with it, swingaroos. Nobody knew. Here, I thought, was my chance to pin it down. Bob Ritchie, who a year ago was traipsing through Europe flnding new talent, was looking on, but he didn't know. Norman THatis the reception [ fl!

Try it} FRESH @” ” CHOCOLATES VAN DUYN, cuqcown SHOPS Taurog, who was directing, said he thought it had something to do with bayaus, but he wasn't sure. Bobby Connolly, the dance director, opined the Beguine was a native love dance in Martinique. A secretary was dispatched to telephone the music department. The music department, which knows many things didn".: know this one. ; “We better ask Cole Porter,” said Taurog. “He wrote it.” And then it came up, from the publicity girl who had just found out from Cole PBorter, himself who wrote it, “Begin the Beguine” means, in fact, absolutely nothing. Theres’ a little island called Beguine somewhere off the south of France, and Porter used it (pronounced.be-geen) simply for euphony. They're spending $130,000 on the “Begin the Beguine” num- ber, and— “Aren't we a bunch of intelligent people,” announced Taurog, “to be doing all this—without even thinking of what it means!” The new “Broadway Melody” has, beside Astaire and Powell Hollywood's other importantly successful dancer: George Murphy. Except for Vera Zorina, whose specialty is ballet, there isn't another major star in town who works at the dance as a serious business. There’s Shirley Temple, of course, but. dancing. is’inci- dental to Shirley’s success. There's Ginger Rogers, but she’s not majoring in footwork any more. And there’s Joan Crawford, but Joan gave up hoofing long ago. And the town, despite its scarcity of dancing stars, is full of dancers. Specialty dancers, chorus dancers, adagio dancers, every kind of dancers—and only four who'vé reached screen stardom through their feet!
