Instead, we have the story OF
20 girls in the FootlightS Club,
q theatrical boarding house, peo-
pied with ingenue types and bud
ding actresses who hope some
day to be a future Cornell or
Bernhardt.
Ginger Rogers is a night club
hoofer, flip, warm-hearted
chorus girl, waiting for a real
role in a Broadway play.
While she is waiting Ginger
attracts the admiring eye OF
Adolphe Menjou, a struggling
manager, with a poor tired
little boy" line of talk. Miss
Rogers goes to his apartment,
sips champagne, almost sue
cumbS to his campaign, is saved
at the crucial moment by Katha-
rine Hepburn.
La Hepburn plays a spoiled
heiress who is stage struck. She
has a difficult time becoming a
pal to Ginger Rogers, but her
fathers money, secretly ex-
pended on a play to be produced
by Menjou, gives her opportunity
to prove she's q real actress.
When Hepburn gets the role
that Andrea Leeds had been ex-
pecting for months, it>leads that
emotionally highstrung begin
ner to dramatically ascend a
stairway and fling herself out Of
a window. If this scene doesn't
touch your heart, you're a hope
less case for real sob moments.
OF course, La Hepburn puts
it over, offering the very same
scene from 1.-THE Lake." in
which she faltered as a real
stage star for Producer Jed Har-
ris. This is Katharine's polite
nose-thumbing at Broadway crit
les who felt she was not ready
for real role on the Main
Stem.
FINE PERFORMANCES
All told with sparkling dia.

of up-to-the-minute wise cracks.
with little human touches that
make the picture very real.
Ginger Rogers easily wins her
letter as an actress who can
travel without Fred Astaire. Her
scene of high exhiliration is a
gem. katharine Hepburn leaps
to the front again with q per-
Torrance that rivals her Acad"
envy Morning Glory" for sub
stantial merit.
There are glittering side per-
formanceS by Lucille Ball as q

Patrick, who takes the easier

and the tremendously moving
contribution of Andrea Leeds,

Adolphe Menjou does his
usual efficient job, this time as
the manager with a view worth
seeing from his penthouse win

On the whole Hollywood can
be proud Of it's "Stage Door,"
It leaves the Broadway version
far behind.

FEION DEFIES
PRISON RULES,
KEEPS BEARD

San Quentin, Cal, U.R)-Among
the many thousand prisoners at
San Quentin only one has sue
ceeded in being made an eXcep-
ton to the prisons rules that no
inmate hall be allowed to wear a
mustache or a beard.
He is Louis Genopolis, No. 58,O63
but commonly known as Green
AppleS," because of the sound his
name makes when it is rumbled.
When Green Apples" first came
to San Quentin he wore a beard
and also gave indication, of not
being just quite right mentally.
He was PROUD o. his beard and
kept it trimmed neatly.
The time eventually came, how
ever. when he was ordered to the
prison barber shop to have it cut.
The daily independent., 1937-07-07

Immediately, Genopolis developed
the violence of a maniac, waving
his arms and shouting lmpreca-
tions that ~ounded through the
cellblock.
The final climax OF these I'M
precautions came when he pointed
his finger at the barber and
shouted:
Anyone who tries to cut of the
beard of Louis Gsneopolis Will be
stricken dead by Cod"
The cur&e was hardly finished
when the barber fell dead at his
feet.
Although the autopsy revealed
that the barber had died OF a sud-
den heart attack induced by the
excitement brought On by the fur
ious resistance Of Green Ap-
pies" no attempt has been made
since then TO have the beard
haved.
