And the manner in which she gets her
chance, when temperamental star
tries a walkout in an attempt at flnan-
cial blackmail five minutes before cur
tain time on opening night, seems banal
because it is almost the only way girl
gets her chance at the theater in pic
lures But in life almost the only way
an unknown gets an opportunity is
when some star is Ill, or temperament
ally indisposed or just plain cussed.
And, while I am on the subject of
this picture wish to say that Douglas
Fairbanks, jr, a young actor who has
often disappointed me with his ten
dency to exaggerate and to copy the
worst Of the John Barrymore antics
without capturing any Of the best ones,
gives far and away the best perform
ance of his career. So emotionaIy
fine that, in moments, he threatens
to overshadow Hepburn in his tremen-
dous sincerity and the strength of the
tide which sweeps through him
have touched the high spots Of en-
thusiasm at this find" Of great comedy
because have known the nadir of dis
appointment over comedy in general of
late. Outside Of Alfred Lunts exqui-
site stage performance in Reunion in
Vienna" can think, offhand, of only
one comedy bit which in its restraint,
its exquisite handling and its lack of
exaggerations, 1 found satisfaction.
That is part in a picture called
Mama Loves Papa" played to a nice
ty by Mary Boland. 1t was q part
which invited exaggerations Of all
kinds-but exaggeration is the last
thing Of which this actress was guilty.
She underplayed it to perfection, aware
Of the pitfalls the lines and situations
presented.
AS for the rest of comedy-you can
have 1t, with my compliments. You
can have the ghastly attempt of John
Barrymore in Reunion in Vienna
the prancings and mincings and ex-
aggerations of all kinds, the ancient
technique and painful ohviousness. Ydl
can have May Robson's caricature q
the Frau Lucher created by Helen
Wesley. You can have some of Ma
rie Dressler's comedy, too, for all CT
me; great deal more of it than I'd
care to admit, because I admire, love
and reverence that woman. But I want
my comedy subtle, the art rare and
lean, the tempo sublime.
The best comedy done in Hollywood
comes from Charles Ruggles, Charlie
Butterworth, Ned Sparks and definitely
typed artists Of that kind. The hign
art Of comedy has needed new expo
| nents and the Hepburn fills the bill . ;.
and fills it to perfection.

Therefore may I be among the first
to hail Katharine Hepburn, who you
have seen as a dramatic actress and
as an exponent OF dramatic comedy, as
the most brilliant comedienne of the
day.
Until Zoe Akins' play, Morning
Glory" Is released you will have to
take my word for it. But, once re-
leased, I am certain that there will
be a flood of acclaim for this slender
red-haired girl, so briefly Of the stage,
whose initial appearance on the screen
was a sensation. When Katharine Hep
burn appeared in the jerky arratic role
of the daughter In "A Bill of Divorce
ment," 1t didn't take a world Of percep-
tion to see that here was a great per-
sonality for the screen. Here was a
runner-up for Garbo, lndeed-after a
the profession itself had failed to prove
themselves that.
But Katharine Hepburn, in Morning
Glory" has proved herself more than
just those things She has proved her
self that rarest of all things. an actress
Of great quality. She has proved her
self that almost nonresident thing. a
comedienne of great attainment Her
comedy is timed to an exquisite nicely
Her rhythm is something to remember
Her poise is as ecstatic and certain as
that of bird about to take flight from
a too-slender bough. She has light be-
hind those long level eyes such light
as you seldom see in life. And, when
the occasion calls, she has an emotional
tide which floods out across the geome-
trio beauty Of that face in satisfying
fullnesS.
Morning Glory" is nothing new un-
less you can honestly say that any SUBJ
ject touched by the magic wand of Zoe
Akins' humor blooms afresh in some
inexplicable way 1t is the story of a
girl from Franklin, little town where
the great names of the theater are "just
names" and where girls life, as she
expresses it. 'ts provincial, bourgeois
and extremely dull
Franklin, you gather, is the sort Of
town where they don't recognize the
necessity for a great freedom In the
life of a great artist Great privacy
freedom to dream, to think, to live
and even to sin," doesn't come with
in their calculations. So to New York
comes Eva Lovelace-"a name I took
but can change right away if you don't
like it" as she breathlessly tells every
one-to conquer the world of the
theater
How she does it-how tragically,
comically. heartbreakingly-all becomes
the story. You may say there is moth
ing really new about it-quite true
there is nothing really new in life.
