10 SCREENLAND H SCREENLAND onor D age To Ele anor Powell, who Tap-Da nces to Triumph in Broadway Melody of 1936" Here's the New Girl with the w i n n i n q Orin and the Wond erful Toes. Her Taps are Tops ! T AP, tap! Tappety-tap-tap-tap! See those toes! Watch those taps — can't count 'em, just enjoy Eleanor Powell is dancing; and not since em. Fred Astaire's film debut has a movie audience been so electrified. This lithe, lovely girl is the modern spirit of rhythm, as much of an artist in her own way as Pavlowa was. She's gay and gracious; her dancing has a sense of humor; and when she chooses she can whirl in the ballet with the best of them. It remained for Hollywood to make the world Powell-conscious, even though in her case as in Astaire's, Broadway knew and applauded her dancing in many revues. But now she has really arrived. If SCREENLAND may indulge in a prediction — and ours have a way of coming true — Eleanor Powell will have most of the girls in America rushing to take tap lessons, which leads us further to remark that this Powell girl is a good influence with her bright and breezy manner, her quite unaffected charm, and her whole-souled devotion to the dance.
