...went back to ballet school. She spent three years studying in Amsterdam and then moved on to London to continue her studies under Ballet Director Marie Rambert. "She was a wonderful learner," said Madame Rambert last week. "If she had wanted to persevere, she might have become an outstanding ballerina." But impatience and a feeling that she had lost too much time was already clawing at Audrey. Money was short for the Van Heemstras, and what little there was could not be sent out of Holland.

...Broadway musical that starred Astaire and his sister Adele in 1931. In other respects the new musical has nothing to do with the old. Its casual plot describes the attempt of an oldtime Hollywood hoofer to get a foot back on Broadway as the partner of a temperamental ballerina. The show they are rehearsing is a sort of boogie Faust, and there is the devil to pay in the form of an overemotional producer (Jack Buchanan). Also on hand for some mild laughs: Pianist Oscar Levant, whom Hollywood seems to regard as inevitable a backstage fixture as the fire bucket...
