...biggest build-ups in recent Hollywood history, Rita Hayworth makes her costarring debut in R. K. O.'s "You'll Never Get Rich," now showing at Loew's State and Orpheum. She is called upon to fill the shoes--or rather, dancing slippers--of Ginger Rogers, and to twirl the light fantastic with filmdom's ablest dancer, Fred Astaire. It's to her credit that she does a snappy job, although she is continually outshone in their dancing scenes by her flashier partner. This is a fate which was shared by La Rogers as well, and it is probably...
...pitched a no-hitter, and the acclaimed American "Schoolboy" had wrung up his unbeaten string of seventeen straight. Rowe is this year trying to come back, but Paul is done. Dizzy has joined Paul, to all intents and purposes. Hubbell, true, shows signs of a comeback, but Grove can twirl only once a week, and where is Eldon Auker? And what has happened to the two consecutive no-hit gamer, one J. Vander Meer of Cincinnati...
...relief from British broadcasting, especially on Sundays, pre-war Britishers had simply to twirl their radio dials to Radio Normandie, Luxembourg, Juan-les-Pins or any of the other gay, Continental "outlaw" stations.

He agrees that she has no chance for the part but talks her into flying to Hollywood for the trip, with her Aunt Phoebe (Edna May Oliver). After a twirl on the ice with her pupils, Trudi consents. Although Trudi does no skating in her screen test, she makes the grade. Jimmy believes that, as the new star, she can be used to bolster the publicity value of Roger Maxwell (Rudy Vallée), a crooner on the studio...
Sickles will undoubtedly twirl for Cornell against Dartmouth tomorrow, and he will be an odds-on favorite to pitch the Redmen to a victory over the Green. Up at Hanover, however, it might be another story, because for some reason or other, Sickles seems to find the going a little bit tougher when he isn't working in his own back-yard in Ithaca. The best guess is that Dartmouth will oblige by taking the finale to drop Sickles and Co. down into a tie with the Crimson...
