One of America's foremost show- Mr. R. Armour, vice-pres!- dent of RKO Radio Pictures, of New York. arrived in Singapore from Hollywood recently.

Interviewed Mr. Armour flatly contradicted the rumour that the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers team would be split up by his company, "At the present moment, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are making 'Castles in the Air, the music for which has been written by Irving Berlin," he said.

"My company does not want to stereotype the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combination, and for this reason we have decided to star them separately in a number of plctures. and only put them together once in a while,

"For instance. Fred Astaire is just completing Mr. P. G. Wode- house's 'A Damsel In Distress,' in which he will appear with a new. ravishing leading lady. named Joan Fontaine. Ray Noble, the famous English orchestra leader. assisted by Burns end Allen, together with a number of out- standing players, all do their part to make 'A Damsel In Distress' a truly outstanding attraction.

"Ginger Rogers will appear with Charles Boyer in Perfect Har- many; with James Stewart in vivacious Lady' and with Douglas Fairbanks. Jr.. in *Having Á Wonderful Time-all of which are Arst-class films." ፡፡
