TIN PAN ALXEY PUBLISHING COMPANY Box 2S41 — Hollywood, California SIMPLY ENCLOSE Skies' with Bing, as has been reported. And if so, why. Right?" I said, "Right." "Yes, he is going to retire," his sister said. "Permanently, he says. For a year, / say. Give him a year and, in my opinion, he'll come back and do something. Not to dance, I think. Not ever again to dance. To produce, perhaps. He'd like that. And with his meticulous attention to detail and passion for perfection, he'd be good at producing. Or just to act, perhaps, without the dancing. Fred has long cherished the idea that acting is his real career and rather resents being classified as 'merely,' to quote him, a dancer.' Apart from working with Bing, whom he adores ('Bing's my boy,' he always says) , I think 'Holiday Inn' was Fred's favorite picture because his role was an acting one with the dancing subordinate to the character and the story. Mother and I also think Fred is a very fine actor — or could be, if those winged, incredible feet of his were still. "He is retiring because, as has been printed, his doctor says he must ease up. Not that there's anything ailing Fred. Matter of fact (and in spite of his plaint about his thinning hair!), Fred's very healthy. I should say. But he is thin, too thin, and ever since he was a child doctors have warned us, 'Fred must always be out-of-doors a great deal and get plenty of sleep.' Since he spends weeks and months before he even goes into production creating routines, working them out, experimenting with them endlessly and with a kind of terrible, more-than-human patience, he spends much too much time indoors on a soundstage, and when he gets home is sometimes too tired to sleep. "His reason for retiring is not primarily, however, 'doctor's orders.' The truth is his brain has got exhausted jrom thinking up routines. That's why. He can't top himself any more, or so he feels. How he has , topped himself for so many years and so brilliantly even I, who danced with him for so long, can't imagine. Lazy by nature, the idea of inventing routines, of competing with people," said Dellie, with a prodigious sigh, "I couldn't be bothered! I like to earn money, am going to do a radio program and get paid for it and will get a kick out of it, I hope. But radio programs are, so to speak, short stretches, not life sentences. "And the way Fred worries about his work, that's the killing. We write to each other all the time and while my letters are all about my gay life at Lissmore Castle, going to bed at nine with a good book, or, during the war, about my work with the Red Cross, Fred's are about the new and epic things his children have done, and then he always tells me, at length, about his new film. 'This routine I'm working out now,' he'll say, T don't think it will be good. I don't know.' And that's Fred for you. "He's also retiring for a more personal reason, which is that he wants to be at home with his wife, with the children, at his ranch, which is, by the way, near enough to Bing's to be neighborly.
