WOMAN REBELS
SHOWS HEPBURN
IN Love ORDEAL

Woman Driven from
Home by Father

The extremes of resistance to
which a fathers tyranny drives his
daughter motivates significant
romantic drama for Katharine Hep
burn and Herbert Marshall as CO.
stars in "A Woman Rebels" now
at the Capitol Theatre.
The melting force of this photo
drama lies in the rigid moral and
social pressure exerted by a father
who kept his daughters in ignor-
ance of the ordinary pitfalls of life.
This type of parent relentlessly
ruled his offsprings' romantic life.
Driven to reckless revolt. Miss
Hepburn. who plays the more in
girl of the household,
finds herself in one heartbreaking
situation after another, but is in
spired to battle against hidebound
nevertheless.
Meanwhile, 50 involved does Miss
Hepburns life become that her ro-
nance with Herbert Marshall is all
but wrecked.
This is the first time Miss Hep
burn and Mr.. Marshall have played
opposite each other. They are sup
ported by an outstanding and YER
satile cast, including Elizabeth
Allan, Donald Crisp, Dat-G Man
ners and Doris Dudley, young New
York actress who makes her screen
debut.
The screen story was taken from
a novel, Portrait of a Rebel" by
the noted British authoress, Meta
Syrett, and is a Pandro S. Berman
production for RKO Radio.
