Russian Prima Ballerina Anna Pavlova, who Errol saw during her legendary J. C. Williamson tour of Australia in the 1920s.
Was she also the first woman Errol “fell desperately in love with”?

A Shore Thing

Jan
This month is the 90th Anniversary of Sydney Church of England Grammar School’s most famous student – Flynn, E.L.T. “Shore” was Errol’s last school.
Errol, ever near the water:
The notably high-achieving but “severe” headmaster who ejected Flynn – LC Robson. Robson deleted all evidence of Errol’s attendance at Shore (Student Entrance No. 3955) from school records, but Flynn, of course, prevailed – still regarded the school’s most renowned alumni (“Old Boy” in the school’s parlance.)
A sketch of Shore circa 1925, how young Master Flynn would have seen it:
Errol’s two dorms at Shore: Robson House and School House, the latter of which he only stayed a few hours.
One of Errol’s fellow boarders at Robson House, Prime Minister Gorton, at the White House with Tricky Dick Nixon. The PM remembered Errol as “a first class boxer”.

The Federal Grinch Who Stole Sirocco — (Almost)

ERROL FLYNN’S YACHT TOO BIG;
U.S. MAY TAKE IT
Hollywood, Cal., Dec. 26.– [Special] –
Errol Flynn, screen star, may lose his
trim sailing yacht, Sirocco, because he
is a native of Australia and an alien.
The Sirocco, which Flynn purchased in
Boston last March for $23,000, is well
over sixty feet in length and is listed
at thirty-one cross tons, which is well
over the size which, under a federal statute,
an alien is permitted to own in this country.
“Although Errol has his intention to
become an American citizen, it doesn’t
alter his position,” said his attorney,
O. R. Cummins. “He made an honest
mistake and is willing to abide by
whatever action the government takes.”
A guard for the United States marshal
has taken possession of the Sirocco
at its anchorage in the west basin at San Pedro harbor.
The government will start legal proceedings this week.
