HOLLYWOOD UPI - Krrol
Flynn was a 20th century Cas
anova who made love to count
less women but never found it.
Sure, he wast,, loved for hh
charm, his wealtri. his dashing
virility. But the JclI-fuKurad, self
admitted Lotharih nought a
deeper emotionalVresponse from
the women in his' life. And only
occasionally did this facet of the
inner longing express Itself.
Two years ago' when his mar
riage to third wlM Patrice Wy
more was wavering, he ' unex
pectedly told me, "Love is a
strange thing. It you hold It too
tightly, cherish it too dearly, It
will die. Yet, if you. regard it too
lightly, it will escape you al
together." -
He sincerely believed he loved
all three of his wives.

His complaint about his first
two marriages to Lili Damita
and Nora Kddington was that

he said, "I've found a woman 1
love, and who loves me. So my
story has a happy ending. Pat
never tries to rclorm me."
Hut no one woman was able
to fill the actoc's instiablc appe
tite for excitement and at the
same time provide the security
that Flynn sought in a marriage.
Before, during and between his
three marriages Flynn had his
girl friends. They were a diver
sion, a means of living up to his
reputation as a great lover. But
he seldom spoke of his conquests,
and only smiled when friends
and acquaintances alluded to his
romantic flings.
In this respect he was a better
man than many of those who
criticized him. Scores of stars
were and still are leading scal
awag lives, but deviously and
with phony piety.
"I live my life the way I like
it," he often said. "I make no
apologies and 1 judge no one
else. If anyone is hurt by my be
havior it is only me. And I'm not
complaining."
Flynn "Fell In Love"
In 1M9. Flynn "fell in love"
with Irene Ghica, whom he iden
tified as a Romanian princess,
claiming they would be married.
Hut the romance faded when the
dashing star took off on location
for a new movie. i
What was Flynn's special
charm for women?
"1 have no idea, old bean," he
was fond of saying. "1 never
question success."
Those who knew him best at
tributed his attraction to charm.
He was gay, youthful, daring,
gallant and brashly bold. When
he looked at a woman, no mat
ter what her age, there was a
twinkle in his eye, a taunting,
flattering challenge. i
And he was handsome. Until the
last 10 years ot his life Flynn
had a clean-cut profile, a flat bel
ly and muscular shoulders. An air
of excitement radiated from his
sence. Other men felt the mag
netism, too.
When Errol was around no one
could be sure when a fight would
start or if he would break into
an hilarious chapter from his past
live.
He had a cultured voice with
just a trace of English accent.
Proof of Flynn s great charm
was the high regard in which he
was held by his wives after he
had jilted them for other women.
His last spouse, Patrice Wymore
spoke for all when she said, "I
wish I could hate him, but 1
can't. He's the most loveable
man in the world."
Masked His Real Feelings
Open as he was ulwut the su
pcrficialtics of his life, Flynn
rarely confided in anyone. When
he was hurt most he put up a
gay. bon vivant front to mask
his real feelings.
In tho face of emotional tur
moil the flashy screen idol turned
in his best acting performances.
"I've had my share of human
disaster," he said recently. 'I
hoe I managed to face it with
a brave front. That's important.
You shouldn't distress your
friends or have them feel ' sorry
for you. The worse the disaster,
the braver the front."
It was behind this front that
Flynn faced his friends and fans.
However, as he" grew older the
tragedy in his eyes could not be
erased by his flashing smile.
"I'll never marry again," he
said a week before his death
"There is no such thing as a hap
py marriage. Believe me, 1
know."

IMPRESS
ON
is IMPORTANT'
WHAT MAKES A NEWSPAPER GREAT?
There is one simple answer so simple that the
average reader rarely thinks about it. It is IMPRESSION.
Perhaps "average reader" was the wrong words to use
because every Observer Reader is the most important
person in the world to Observer staff members. And for
that reason the impression he gets from reading the
paper EVERY day is something to be cultivated con
stantly. Small papers have more mechanical and man power
limitations than their metropolitan stepsisters but
these limitations are more than off-set by their facility
to expedience in dissimulating the news while it is still
news.
i
You get an entirely NEW newspaper every day
not yesterday's paper with new comics and a new front
page and some other naive head-dress designed to woo
away unwary readers.
In person-to person conversation most staffers arc
anything but humble but the inability to talk to more
than a limited number of people gives the impression
that they are extremely modest maybe slightly on the
dense side. ,
A news story is just that, news which YOU created
but without the personal impression or interpretation
of the writer that privilege is exercised only on the
editorial page. Factual reporting, however, is the only
way to get and keep readers. It is the only way of leaving
the impression which instills confidence. Without con
fidence any news medium is a dead fish. ' t
CONFIDENCE, that is the most valuable, asset to
any business. In order to get it a newspaper must main
tain an independence of character as well as professional
morals that are, like Portia, "Above reproach." To keep
it certain professional standards must be maintained
vigilantly. It becomes necessary sometimes to refuse fa
vors to friends and groups who are in position to exert a
tremendous economic influence on the paper. Yet, as
soon as these groups or individuals do something that is
news worthy it will be printed without bias or rancor.
What you're getting for a nickel is something you
might not be able to purchase for any price. The news
columns are not for sale regardless of the offer. But it
is impressive to note that every month Observer readers
get enough material to make a regular sized book con
taining 1356 pages. In these pages would be about 264
local pictures with descriptive cut lines, as well as a
comic book of 52 pages.
Your paper is created every day by a staff of 24
steady employes. It is delivered by some 30 carriers to
over 4,000 homes where it is read by nearly 15,000 peo
ple. The impressions left daily in the minds of this
multitude of people is something that must be safe
guarded as a sacred trust impervious to pressure from
any angle.
So long as the printed word is used in text books
and your family Rible . . . that is how long your news
paper will remain the dominating factor in the direction
of your everyday thoughts and formation of your daily
habits.
y- .
i, An expressive analogy could be drawn in comparing its conservatism in serving the community with a happily compatible wife and some
of the more flamboyant media as the "Blond huzzy."
Yes, Impression Is Imporlanl.
