Frankfurt, Germany, Feb. 4, 1954: Errol Flynn smiles and relaxes with a drink and a smoke at the casino. The actor was there to emcee the March of Dimes benefit held in the main ballroom of the Casino. The informal show also featured Flynn’s wife, actress Patrice Wymore and New York born Puerto Rican actress Olga San Juan. All three donated their services for the cause. More than 900 jammed into the main ballroom of the Casino to watch the antics of the star-studded cast and listen to the music supplied by the Air Force’s Sky Tones band.
