6 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, March 15, 1940 Broadway- Collegian Jo WhiHcy The other day, It anyone cares, we dropped by a cocktail party towed by Warner Brothers for Miriam Hopkins and Errol Flynn, who are here, as the saying goes, "to see the plays and to do some shopping." Mr. Flynn, of course, was the focal point of the concourse, due not only to the fact that the Flynn features are always something to step up feminine blood pressure but also thanks to Mr. Fs recent panning by some of the local writ ing lads. It was Mr. Flynn who Bent Orson Welles a ham for Christmas (get the cute joke?) which prompted the Herald Tri bune's famed critic, Richard Watts, to remark that of all people in the world Mr. Flynn should be the last to name names that even began to sound like ham. Miss Hopkins looked a trifle bored. She's very lit-tree you know, of course, and so we sidled up to her in an unguarded moment and asked her if she knew an edi tor who wanted to buy a wonder ful short story. She smiled sweetly and said, "Really. Do you write?" In Manhattan spots, at least those frequented by the collegians, jitterbugglng is dated stuff. It seems on the way out to stay. To be popular today with the maidens from Vassar, Wellesley, Smith and Barnard, you've prac tically got to have that South American way about you. In short, you're duty bound to master the kicks of La Conga and the glides and dips of the rhumba and the tango. Most "name" spots hereabouts, including the Stork Club and El Morocco, have added Cuban bands, serenaders and assorted entertain ers, which snare the collegiate week-enders. Riding the crest of the craze, Roseland, a Broadway dance hall for the masses, has launched a weekly Cuban Fiesta where the uninitiated cam come aad learn all the wiggles for the piddling cum of forty cants. It's become the Mecca of the dance pilgrims of both sexes who like to dance- but don't know or care to take, a partner. Society (Continued from page 4.) we're getting used to seeing around Is that of Tbeta June Holm and Fhi Gam Bob Goldsmith. WE WONDER if Alpha Chi Mary Bullock was very amused when someone told her reporter friend from Seattle about how faithfully she went to the University Players practice to see Smith Davis.
