I just got word that the audio adaptation of FLYNN, my one-person stage play about Errol Flynn, is now available for download on Amazon, audible.com… and, within a day or so, iTunes. Sam Burns brings the screen’s most famous Robin Hood to life in this production, which has been enhanced with music and sound effects. Enjoy!

Hello,
I just discovered your blog.
I thought you’d like to know that an audio edition of my one-person stage play, FLYNN, is currently nearing the end of production and, if all goes well, should be available for download before the end of November via Audible, Amazon and iTunes. Sam Burns plays the role of Errol Flynn.
In the meantime, paperback and Kindle editions of the play are available via the link below.

I am submitting a couple of pictures of Flynn I have had in my collection for many years.
They both appear to be from the same event since they are noted with the WB numbering I system (GEN PUB8546). But, there seems to be some confusion about my listing for time and place. So I am asking for help in confirming just where and when they were taken.
I have this shot of Errol with Faye Emerson, in front of the My Gallery at 850l0 Wishire, during May 25th to 27th, 1945 at the Eleanor Powell pre-auction, open-exhibition. A similar photo also appeared in the August, ’45 issue of Movie Stars Parade magazine. By the way that is Michael Curtiz back to camera looking at another artwork.

This shot is of Flynn and Curtiz inside the building, chatting. There are also a few more of these two together, all WB numbered. My confusion is that I also have some old hand notes that this is an exhibition at the Decker and Flynn Gallery sometime in May or June, ’45, but I have no back-up. Since I can not locate any old photos of the front of either of the two galleries, I am not sure which description is correct … or if they are both wrong. So … I appreciate any feedback that will straighten out my dilemma.

The Mail Bag brings another Question!
I am trying to find out information about the compass/binnacle that was originally installed on the Zaca.
My friend has one that he believes came from it. I have researched the compass and it was purchased from ES Ritchie & Sons in 1930.
I do not know if you would have more information about the binnacle from the Zaca like the serial number or what happened to it?
Thanks!
Crystal

In the Mail Bag today:
Dear Flynn Blog,
I just finished watching the aforementioned TV movie on DECADES. Very enjoyable. I’m trying to find out who Billy Welch, the stunt man who died after he fell off a horse in the TV movie, was based on. Couldn’t find any info for him online so I’m guessing that wasn’t the stunt Man’s real name.
Delmo Walters, Jr.
Thanks, Delmo!
