"I shall conform a bit more I love Pat."

(IT'S A GIRL WITH GLASSES} Before the old biddies and the bishops can pass another vote of censure on Errol Elynn I will stand up in defence of the

man.

Mr Flynn is getting married again— for the third time. His bride has come The from America with her parents, ceremony will be in Monte Carlo,

The biddies are saying. "How terrible !" The bishops refuse to marry Flynn in any church in France. But Flynn says he is certainly getting married and if anyone doesn't believe it he will put it in writing.

Although there will be

two cere- monies, one formal, and one civl), Flynn adds: “I want this to be Pat's first - and only marriage. That sort of thing is very important for a girl.”

This is a typical quote from the man who has carefully built up a story-book reputation over 15 years.

Of course, the girl who is to become. Mrs Errol Flynn the Third knows all about it. She is 21-year-old Patrice Wymore, tall, slim, with red-gold hair and glasses, who was a night-club dancer and Hollywood actress. "Oh, yes, they told me all about Mr Flynn," says Miss Wymore, whose father is an oilman from Kansas.
