rmed with an eighth-grade education,
an inexhaustible imagination, and an
innate talent for dancing, Hermes Pan
(1909-
1990)
was a boy from Tennessee who be¬
came the most prolific, popular, and memo¬
rable choreographer of the glory days of the
Hollywood musical. While he may be most
well-known for the Fred Astaire-Ginger
Rogers musicals which he choreographed at
RKO film studios, he also created dances at
Twentieth Century-Fox, M-G-M, Paramount,
and later for television, winning both the Os¬
car and the Emmy for best choreography.
In Hermes Pan: The Man Who Danced
with Fred Astaire, Pan emerges as a man in
full, an artist inseparable from his works. He
was a choreographer deeply interested in his
dancers' personalities, and his dances be¬
came his way of embracing and understand¬
ing the outside world. Though his time in a
Trappist
monastery proved to him that he
was more suited to choreography than to life
as a monk, Pan remained a deeply devout
Roman Catholic throughout his creative life, a
person firmly convinced of the powers of
prayer. While he was rarely to be seen with¬
out several beautiful women at his side, it was
no secret that Pan was homosexual and even
had a life partner. As Pan worked at the nexus
of the cinema industry's creative circles dur¬
ing the golden age of the film musical, this
book traces not only Pan's personal life but
also the history of the Hollywood musical
itself. It is a study of Pan, who emerges here
as a benevolent perfectionist, and equally
of the stars, composers, and directors with
whom he worked, from Astaire and Rogers
to Betty
Grabie,
Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth
Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Bob
Fosse, George Gershwin, Samuel Goldwyn,
and countless other luminaries of American
popular entertainment.
Author John
Franceschina
bases his telling of
Pan's life on extensive first-hand research into
Pan's unpublished correspondence and his
own interviews. Pan enjoyed one of the most
illustrious careers of any Hollywood dance
director, and because his work also spanned
across Broadway and television, this book
will appeal to readers interested in musical
theater history, dance history, and film.
The author of numerous books on theater
history, John
Franceschina
is also a former
Professor of Theatre at Pennsylvania State
University. Off-Broadway he has served as
dance arranger and musical director and as
accompanist for Angela Lansbury,
Elke Som¬
mer,
Nell Carter, Jan Peerce, Robert Merrill,
Lotte Lenya,
Paige O'Hara, Chita Rivera, and
