• Famed dancer Fred Astaire is going to opc'n and direct dancing schools with branches all over the world. Astaire, who is 47, said goodbye to lilms in Irving Berlins "Brue Skies," made by Paramount. "I am delighted to be retiring from the screcn," said Astaire. "I went to Hollywood in the first place with no idea that I would be a success." His first film was "Daring Lady," with Joan Crawford, in 1932. He. said that people seldom realiso how much rcal labour goes to a dancing career.
