BACKSTAGE SNAPSHOT Fred Astaire rehearses his Packard show from early morning until late at night . . . sometimes rehearsals run to 3 or 4 a. m. He drapes a turkish towel over the mike, and mops his brow from time to time . . . Other members of the cast take time out for lunch; not he . . . Johnny Green's as indefatigable a worker as the dancing star and doesn't mind skipping the noon interim . . : Astaire uses two dancing boards, jumps from one to the other like a startled gazelle . . . When he takes a breathing spell, he dashes over to where the socially registered Mrs. Astaire sits... She takes copious notes while Fred works ... He talks things over with her, then holds a confab with Maestro Green . . . Charlie Butterworth breezes in about 3:30, then everything goes hilarious . . . The orchestra, particularly the wind section, becomes breathless from laughter . . . Butterworth is jittery, one of those performers who is vastly more nervous at a dress rehearsal than at a performance . . . His hands tremble as he holds his script . . . After rehearsal Astaire and his wife slip out a rear door . . . The autograph hounds are left holding the bag in front . . .
