JVame_ City That Irresistible Mr. Astaire {Continued from page 33) of phonograph records — the music from "Top Hat," "Follow the Fleet," and the new "Swing Time." This summer, before the last picture was finished, he was commuting between New York and Hollywood, arranging the scores for the recordings and trying to take some of the routine work in connection with the coming Packard program off Fred's shoulders. It was just after the recordings and the picture had both been completed that I talked to him at his office in New York. Fred had just sailed for a brief European vacation, and Johnny was supposed to be vacationing too. "It's enough vacation just not to have to think about a piano or a piece of music that has to be arranged," he grinned when I apologized for keeping him in his office on a broiling hot day. Moreover, as I very soon realized, it's fun for him to talk about Fred. I CAN show you best what sort of person Fred is by telling you about the job we just finished," he began. "We've made two sets of records before, but we never had the hectic time we did last week. On the RKO lot they were rushing to finish 'Swing Time' by the end of the week, so Fred could get away, and we had to fit in the time at the recording studio when we could. We got half the records finished, but the other half had to be done all at once, in one night, so the master recording could be ready in time for Fred to okay it before he left. "Fred couldn't get away from the lot until eight, and he was dead tired, but he dug right in and started to rehearse. We got the easiest records out of the way, and came to the last and toughest, the 'Waltz in Swing Time.' There was one tricky section Fred couldn't get right. He tried and tried, getting madder at himself all the time. I kept telling him, 'Fred, I can fix that in five minutes, just by changing the arrangement!' but he wouldn't let me. He was just mad enough at himself to be stubborn about it. "Well, finally he thought he had it right, and we got the waltz down on wax and dragged ourselves home. The master records were ready Saturday, the last day of shooting on the set, and after I'd okayed them I took them around for Fred to hear. Ordinarily he wouldn't have wanted to play the records there in the studio, where everybody could hear them, but there wasn't much time, so that's what we did— stopped shooting and put on the records, with the whole studio crew standing by to listen. "The first ones were swell— perfectbetter even than we'd hoped for. Everybody broke into spontaneous applause after the 'Bojangles of Harlem' number, and Fred was awfully pleased. Then we came to the swing waltz. Nobody clapped when it was finished. Fred picked up the record and looked at my initials on it. " 'Did you okay this?' he asked me, as if he thought there must be some mistake. "I began to feel a little bit ashamed of myself. I knew the record wasn't good for Astaire, but I'd okayed it because — well, after all, we'd turned out four swell Astaire records, and even if this wasn't quite as good as the rest, it would have been a good piece of work if anybody else had done it. Fred didn't have time to have another try at it. And I'll admit I was willing to compromise with my conscience in order to give the phonograph company another record to sell. "Not Fred, though.
