Will VIC llJulCu nS a iCouit
Miss Bennett, whose blondness has
been too thoroughly established by her
appearances in pictures to need fur
ther description, landed in Washing
ton yesterday afternoon at 430. She
established something - a record by
requiring 20 minutes to get away from
the door of the plane which deposited
her at Washington Airport, but the
achievement may be more properly
credited to the photographers than
to the actress herself. Miss Bennett,
who is very gracious about such things,
simply did what she was told No
dairy maid could have looked so
lovely, nor been so amiable, as the
third daughter of the Bennett family,
about to get started on her week in
Washington. She posed as she was
told.
1t was not until two hours later,
however, that Miss Bennett had her
chance to talk about her feeling to-
ward playing the lead in Stage Door"
At the airport, she simply had her
picture taken Later, at the May
flower, where she was guest of honor
at a party given by Edmund Plohn,
manager of the National, she talked
between formal and informal poses
for the cameramen.
That she is more than delighted
to play Margaret Sullavan's old role
in stage Door" is one of the most
obvious things one hears about in
show business Miss Bennett is the
first to admit that fact. For almost
nine years, although it does not sound
possible (nor look it, she has been
in pictures. Not since "Jarnegan" has
she had the experience of appearing
before an audience. She is getting a
great deal out of it and it is her
modest hope that audiences are get
ting fractionally, at least, as much.
60 FAR as the mood of the play
~ toward Hollywood is concerned,
and the quality of its mercy is not
strained in that direction, Miss Ben
nett does not think it makes a great
deal of difference 1t is her belief that
Hollywood will go along quite as if
the play never had happened; and
that she will go along quite more
intelligently because it did happen
and she earned the right to play the
leading role in it.
That attitude may not be typical
of pretty ladies. on the blondish side
or any other, who have spent so many
years in Hollywood, but it belongs
quite definitely to the youngest of the
three daughters of Richard Bennett.
The manner of her saying it left no
Evening star., 1937-11-08

doubt as to where she really stood
with reference to her temperance on
the stage which she left a long time
ago. Far from what is supposed to be
typical, also, was her attitude of shy
ness at being late for the party AS a
mother she had to stay at home until
her youngest child was tucked safely
in bed for the night. She was sorry
to have kept every one waiting and
hoped she would be forgiven. She was
forgiven!
A PPARENTLY, too, she was for
given by the multitude which did
not get her autograph at Washington
Airport Whether because of the
pleasant weather or some intuitive
sense of her coming, hundreds wit
messed Miss Benefits arrival at the
flying field. Ut must have been the
former since no one knew until the
last minute the time of her arrival)
AS so many Hollywood natives, or
tourist, the crowd wanted her auto
graph. But she could give it to no
one without giving it to every one.
So she took an arm each of q couple
of American Always representatives
and marched directly to her taXicab.
If she signed single autograph book
it was when no one was looking.

pleasant circumstance. was one of the
