Never Say Goodbye(Warner Bros.) (1946)

Still No. 653-135 Even 8-YearOlds, lf They’re Women, Have The Last Say Hight-year-old Patti Brady, a star of the Broadway stage whose current screen role is as the daughter of Errol Flynn and Eleanor Parker in Warner Bros.’ “Never Say Goodbye,” now at the Strand, continued to amaze everyone at the studio during the picture’s filming. Her poise, sophistication, intelligence, and acting ability were the talk of the studio. When, for example, dissatisfied with a scene, director James Kern ordered, ‘‘Let’s make another,” Patti corrected: “T’m sure that you mean ‘Let’s take another, Mr. Kern.” “You’re entirely right, Miss Brady,” Kern said solemnly. “T’ll try to be more careful in the future.” Patti proved that even at her tender age women always have the last word. “It might,” she agreed, “be a good idea, Mr. Kern.” Lovely Star of ‘Never Say Goodbye’ Almost Delays Film With ‘Blistering’ Round Of Golf Eleanor Parker reported with badly blistered hands to the set during the filming of Warner Bros.’ "Never Say Goodbye," the comedy in which she is currently co-starring with Errol Flynn at the Strand. The blisters were the result of thirty-six holes of golf with Joe Kirkwood, Jr., a crack golfer like his famous father. Production was not held up, however, as outdoor scenes involving her wearing gloves were substituted for interior shots in which her hands would have been caught by the camera. Studio officials ordered her to stay off the links thereafter for the duration of shooting except as a spectator. Redoubtable Errol Flynn De-Heroized In New Film Warner Bros. has finally decided to humanize Errol Flynn, cinematically speaking. And the humanizing is via the process of “de-hero-izing” the swashbuckling Irish star. Until now, Flynn has never lost a fight in a motion picture, notwithstanding his claim to the contrary. “Why, I took the short end of a scrap in ‘They Died With Their Boots On,’” avers Errol. “Four thousand Indians killed me at ERROL FLYNN and Eleanor Parker (above) are co-starred as husband and ex-wife in Warner Bros.’ hilarious, hairpulling comedy, "Never Say Goodbye.” The film, currently showing at the Strand Theatre, also features Lucile Watson, S. Z. Sakall, Patti Brady, eight-year-old stage veteran, Forrest Tucker and the Little Big Horn. They tell me I died heroically as General Custer. Good thing, come to Hollywood Makes Still No. 653-39 Donald Woods. MAT No. 2F Powers Beauty A ‘Model’ Actress Once a model, always a model. Peggy Knudsen, for one, is beginning to wonder about this axiom. In her last picture, “A Stolen Life,’ the Bette Davis starring film, she played a model. In her current film, Warner Bros.’ “Never Say Goodbye,” the Errol Flynn-Eleanor Parker starring picture now at the Strand, Peggy is again a model, the inspiration for Errol’s versions of the Varga and Petty Girls. As Peggy was originally a Powers beauty, and found good money in it, too, she doesn’t mind. But sometimes she does wonder how long she’ll be typed. Career Alone Not Enough, Actress Returns To School think of it. After all, I was Custer in the picture.” But this was against odds of 4,000 to one. Ten or less adversaries at one and the same time have been powerless against an aroused Errol. And inevitably, the reaction of the jealous boy friend who has had to put up with the romantic sighs of his sweetheart in the theatre at Flynn’s prowess has been, “Aw, nuts!” But as of now, the boy friend can have his innings. Flynn is the hero and co-star, with Eleanor Parker, of ““Never Say Goodbye,” Warner Bros.’ delightful new comedy currently playing at the Strand Theatre. He is a hero who loses every one of his four fights, three to an ex-Marine and one to a stout New York taxi driver. He never comes close to winning any one of them. The hackman lands one on his jaw right outside Eleanor’s home on a cold winter night. True, Errol provokes him into it to arouse Eleanor’s sympathy. But regardless of the reason, audiences will be regaled with the spectacle of Errol flat on his back in a Manhattan street. Then the ex-serviceman, sixfoot-six Forrest Tucker, uses Still No. 653-54 ERROL FLYNN undertakes an entirely new type of characterization (considerably less than dashing) in Warner Bros.’ romantic comedy, "Never Say Goodbye," opening at the Strand Theatre Friday. Eleanor Parker stars opposite him. MAT No. ID commando tactics to throw Flynn around as easily as an iceman wrestling with a five-pound cake of frozen water. Believe it or not, Errol likes the experience. “Who wants to win all the time?” he asks. “I’m no hog. Live and let live is my motto. Even success can pall after a while. The guy who said you can’t enjoy victory until you’ve tasted defeat had something there. Don’t you think so?” Peggy Knudsen, tall, blonde Warner Bros. featured player, who is the good reason for the rift in the marital lute in the Errol Flynn-Eleanor Parker starring film, “Never Say Goodbye,’ Warner comedy now at the Strand, has found a way to end the problem of long, lonely winter nights. Peggy has enrolled for courses at the University of California, Los Angeles, at Westwood, in French, Spanish and Child Psychology. Four nights a week is her study-plan, which is quite convenient, as she lives in Westwood. She hopes to get credit on these courses and complete her A.B. at the University of Minnesota. The Child Psychology course is practical. Peggy has a three year old daughter who is a challenging specimen. S. Z. SAKALL receives a mild reprimand from Errol Flynn (above) for the slight tactical blunder the rotund comedian makes in Warner Bros.’ rollicking romantic comedy, "Never Say Goodbye," current attraction at the Strand. Eleanor Parker is co-starred in the film as Flynn's ex-wife. MAT No. 2D Star Welcomes Clothes In ‘Never Say Goodbye’ Eleanor Parker, who has had little opportunity to wear glamorous clothes on screen during her four years with Warner Bros., has # a wardrobe of ten particularly beautiful outfits prepared by Leah Rhodes which the actress wears for her starring role opposite Errol Flynn in "Never Say Goodbye," currently at the Strand.
