Dear fellow Flynn fans,
Errol’s by now auctioned off romantic letters back from 1934 to a young English maid caused quite a stirr when they resurfaced lately, didn’t they?
First Elspeth, then Elizabeth and now Marjorie – make three. See:
England proved to be a prolific playground for this young lad fresh from Australia and new to the Northampton Repertory.
Should his vivid, vivid ways with the ladies find theirs to the moviescreen, I think this biopic should be called “300”.
Taking all his Oscar Wilderness into account, what about this summer festival where Flynn appeared in the role of a servant as announced in the official programm (forth to last name).
The 4 week Malvern festival was established in 1929 by patron Barry Jackson as a modern day drama counterpoint to the Shakespearean festival in Stratford upon Avon.
In 11 seasons until its suspension because of WWII, no less than 19 plays of George Bernhard Shaw were on display.
Even though appearing in 5 plays during the 1934 season, Errol was not on stage for Shaw`s “You never can tell”.
Another familiar name can be found on the cast for “Saint Bernard”- English actor Jack Allen flanks the left of our Hollywood hero.
Years later he would reappear as merry man to our marrying man in “The Adventures of Robin Hood”. Enjoy!
