Fred Astaire, America's 11 i most popular dancing favorite has created a new dance. The new routine is danced by Astaire and his new screen danc ing partner. Paulette Goddard, in the new Paramount picture. "Sec ond Chorus." which opens tomor row (Friday*, at Schlne's Strand, Cumberland, featuring Artie Shaw and ills band. Burgess Meredith and Charles Butterworth. ' Astaire fashioned the dance | which is called the "Dig It." after > a song written by Johnny Mercer. "I Ain't Hep to That Step But j I'll Dig It.” one of the hit tune, | of the new screen entertainment. I While in reality it is a gay. simple dance. Its steps give the im ' pression of being spectacular. But Astaire so devised the dance that It can be done even on smaller dance floors, with only a bit of modification for the more coil servatlve dance enthusiasts. For the incorrigible Jitterbug, the dance, which has already be gun to invade the nation's danc halls, should be a sensation. In the picture. Astaire and Miss God dard go through the routine with easy grace, but the confirmed rug cutter will probably add the vio lence of movement characteristic of their gyrations. For the past two years jitter j bugs throughout the country have sent Astaire letters complaining j about a dearth of new dance fau> to keep their feet occupied. Dance | floors everywhere, they pointed j out, have witnessed a revival of j many types of dancing discard 1 ed long ago. such as the rhumba. ■ but which have come back strong j because of the dance dearth.
