Penthouse Pair
From one legend to another. The hand belongs to Noel Coward and he is rehearsing with Marlene Dietrich in a duet - 'By Land, Sea, and Air' - which they are to sing together at a charity show in London for the Actors' Orphanage. Marlene recorded the song in the States with Rosemary Clooney, but Coward makes a fine Clooney substitute, and he's written some new words which Marlene must learn. Rehearsal room is in the fabulous penthouse at the Dorchester Hotel in Park Lane, London, where Granny-Long-Legs is staying.
The rehearsal is in full swing now, both are enjoying themselves.

Roof top Roller Skaters .
One fine and misty morning Ron and Rita , two roller-skating experts appearing on the London stage , decide to take themselves and their tiny , moveable wooden rink high up onto a roof-top . It was much more exciting and exhilarating to practise there than in a dark and stuffy theatre. The view up the Thames to the dome of St Paul's and Blackfriars Bridge was very nice indeed . But Ron and Rita , spinning round and round didn't see as much of it as the photographer.

WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS" TO CONTINUE
"Where the Rainbow Ends" which has run for thirty Christmas seasons in London, a record for a Christmas production will be seen at the New Theatre as the usual theatre in Holborn is not available.
There had been fears that the show would have to close but Miss Italia Conti found this new home for it.
There is a tradition that the Lord Mayor and the Sherrifs should attend the premiere, which they have done every year at the Holborn theatre, but whether or not they will be able to do so this year is uncertain.
Photo Shows: Janet Hackford, aged fourteen who plays " Will o' the Wisp " in the play, during rehearsals.
