Evening Herald express
All movies are shot piecemeal, but the final scene of Another Dawn probably holds the record. Kay Francis and Errol Flynn did the first half of it before her departure for Europe. This week, they did the tag. In the meantime, Miss Francis had taken a 3 month’s vacation, and had traveled 20,000 miles.
This Warner film has the distinction of having been photographed with two endings. In one, Errol dies and Ian Hunter is left to console Miss Francis. In the other, the two men exchange fates. Warners are waiting for preview reactions to decide which ending to use.

Evening Herald Express
The publication of Errol Flynn’s new book, Beam Ends, has brought a flood of letters from fans who want to make a direct purchase from the star. He has had $350 worth of orders in the last ten days. To supply them, he has to buy copies from the Los Angeles bookstores.
The postage is sometimes more than his royalty, so he actually loses money on these orders.

Screen and Radio Weekly
The illustrious Mr. Bogart draws the illustrated Mr. Flynn – with mean George Brent wielding a whip, and who appears may be Arno out front. (Cropped out of the drawing are Bogie with a slingshot and Wayne Morris in a sailor outfit.)

Evening Herald Examiner
A fight between Errol Flynn and Alan Hale in The Prince and the Pauper is covered in the script by one line: “He runs him through with his sword.” Counting long shots, close ups and medium shots, the duel took three days to film. At the conclusion, Hale, who has been ill, fainted and Flynn could scarcely lift his arm.

The commotion on the Gold Diggers in Paris set at Warner’s yesterday was caused by the chorines teaching Errol Flynn The Big Apple.*
