[nto Their Dance THE great success of "The Gay Divorcee" has set the pulses of the producers going in dance rhythm. Ricardo Cortez in "Wonder Bar" aroused some enthusiasm, and George Raft's "Bolero" carried the idea along, but it was not until the hit of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that everyone suddenly discovered, all at once, that they were crazy about dancing. "Roberta" is the next for this talented team, and Raft's "Rhumba" is also attracting a great deal of attention. It is in this piece that the new mystery hit-girl, Margo, dances. We believe that the explanation is (we always have to explain everything) that music particularly suits sound pictures, delighting our ears, but unless there is dancing there is nothing to watch. However, if Ginger is on the screen the eyes have it, too. Ruby Keeler and Al Jolson are together In "Go Into Your Dance," but they are essentially soloists. Still it will be good. Carole Lombard and George Raft in their dance in "Rhumba," which carries on their great success in "Bolero." Paulette Goddard rehearses dancing, to be ready for Charles Chaplin if he decides to dance in his "Production Number Five," which he is now finishing.
