his
en-
creator of the 'popular "Continenta." and 'Carioca" dan- ces will present his new master- piece, "Broadway Rhythm." for the first time in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer'a BROADWAY MELODY OF 1936.
Gould declaras that his new creation is more sensational than the "Continental" and the "Carlo-' ca" but is twice as easy to learn --and can be used in public dan- clag places.
"Musical pictures are making people dance-conscious," claims Gould. "Therefore, they want to see screen dances that are sim- ple enough to be learned easily. Yet they want the dances to aj pear intricate and dimicult.
"It took twice as long to create a dance of this type, because of the illusion that must be stressed. In Broadway Rhythm.' the principal is, of bringing a specta- cular dance down to earth without losing its glamour. The number is simplicity itself, but it is intriguingly ntricate to the eye.
