There is more work to be done off the ice. With a hand from her parents, Dorothy has selected her music (schmaltzy but stirring themes from old Errol Flynn movies) for the free-skating program. She has spent a week in Toronto arranging the free program with Choreographer Brian Foley. Meanwhile, new costumes have been made. Finally, there are the skates. She will need at least two pairs: one with blades that have short toe picks and a shallow bottom groove between the edges, the better for gliding through the figures; another with oversize toe picks and a deep groove...
...made 50 movies and his salary reached $3,500 a week, but Reagan never achieved first rank as an actor or star. "I became the Errol Flynn of the B's," he says.

The chorus is jazzily bacchanalian, and Patricia Zipprodt's eye-riveting costumes swirl right out of a decadent Brechtian Berlin. Chicago is a cinch...
...Shirkola Forest on the south shore of the Caspian Sea in Iran, the oak trees are as thick as the ones in old Errol Flynn Robin Hood movies, according to Richard G. Leahy, and he adds proudly, "There are still leopards there...
