HOLLYWOOD. July 31 (U.P) — Next time you see a Fred Astaire picture, remember to give Astaire credit for some of the direction as well as the dancing and acting For Astaire is one of the few stars in Hollywood who can tell the ditector whats what, get away with it, and have his advice heeded. In the majority of pictures. of sourse, the directork word is final When scenes are being shot he is the only one to say whether certain footage dies in the camera or goes to the laboratory that night for processing Astaire, now working at Columbia “You'll Never Get Rich.” with Rita Hayworth, is consulted because he is the best informed dance man on the set He and Director Sidney Lanfield
