ERROL FLYNN TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN SERIOUS ILLNESS
Still seriously ill, Errol Flynn, motion picture actor, rallied sufficiently today to permit his being transferred from his Beverly Hills home to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
The change was made under the direction of his physician, Dr. T. M. Hearn. Dr. Hearn said the actor needed care and attention more readily available at the hospital.
