Hayworth and Sultry Dancing Sack on Screen in "Trinidad'

A GREAT MOMENT THIS as MGM film s^ar Lena Horne with hubby Lennie Hayden, orchestra leader (far right); gather to greet singing star Dinah Washington in nite club setting recently in Hollywood with charming chanteuse Sarah Vaughan also present. This is just about the greatest assembly of vocal talent— expensive too. What a show it would b? with this trio of femininity co-starred backed by Hayden's band!! Won't som2 enterprising promoter try it, how can |je fail to gross an all-time high in attendance and establish the BIGGEST box office tallv ever? (P. S. Add the great "Mr. B." and socko!!)

An attractive blonde. ! Miss Bettis herself was signed for an important featured acting role in the sultry romantic drama Ri'.a does the dancing. According to Miss Bettis, the ; last sexy dancing for the cinema was done away back in 1933, whet Greta Garbo nearly burned up the screen with her slinky slitherings in “Mata Hari.” Valerie, who ! has won fame in such Broadway hits as “Inside U. S. A.,” “Great | to Be Alive” and “Bless You All.” l 'efore the Hollywood summons i has some very definLe things to i say:

they would be if given some dances with zing. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating bumps.’ grinds’ and other bur-lesque-show stuff — although it would be sensational. But there’s a middle ground between that and Betty Grable doing a time-

step.

“You’ll see what 1 m<*|n in Affair in Trinidad.’ and you’ll

like it!”

Before Valerie left New York, she was shown films of all of Rita’s previous movie dances, so that she might acquaint herself with Miss Hayworth’s style and

When she arrived in Hollywood. ' T i<;s Rettis had two routines completely Worked out in her mind: one, a wild, abandoned native Trinidadian number done in bare feet; the second, a sophisticated American dance done to a sultry =ong, “I’ve Been Kissed Before.” Miss Bettis thinks the Hayworth routines in “Affair in Trinidad’'
