sons role was built up from just
one line to an important comedy part
in R-K-O Radios "Vivacious Lady"
in which Ginger Rogers and James

Miss johnson, who is appearing in
her third film, found herself with
only two words to say in her role
OF a silly young college freshman.
The line was "Oh, professor" in
answer to a query by Stewart, What
are your arms for?"
Miss Johnson's infection and in
sinuating grin SO caught the atten-
tion OF George Stevens, the director,
that he had Ernest Pagano write in
a scene between Miss johnson and

wage of marriage between two repre-

drama introduces females whose occu-
pations include maid, manicurist,
nurse, shopgirl, schoolgirl, dowager,
debutante, cook, courteSan, pedicurist,
princess and virtually everything else
you can think of. The play follows
the ladies into the most intimate
aspects of their lives, even into the
bathroom. where one of them is shown
as sudsy siren in what long has been
the most sensational scene in the
play. though hardly justifiably. From
the bathroom, the play bounces to the
bedroom, to the powder room of a
night club, to Reno. to the pantry, the
obstetrical ward. the gymnasium, the
hairdresSer's and the home There
are few places, if any, where one does

Straining bit too much to let Miss
Boothe's play come off without the
handicap of self consciousness on the
part of the performers. No drama so
archly contrived as The Women"
could be completely handcuffed by
even stilted playing. This one Ger
tainly is not. 1t is very acid affair
and its acidity is something quite
amusing to see, even if not quite so
much as it might be if some of
the players forgot themselves and
went along more Fundamentally with
Miss Boothe. The playwright. after
all. had very bright, If not exactly
cosmic, idea for play.
The Women as drama, under
takes to dissect (Which probably is
not exactly the right term) the more
fascinating of the two sexes. Dissec-
ton of the kind under discussion is
no tender process and Miss Boothe
has steered nicely clear of any tender
streak which might traditionally be
associated with the So-called gentler
sex. She grabs an imposing handful
of 40 females and, as Mrs. Roosevelt
has complained. she exhibits only two
of them as good women. Those two
are recognizably good because of their
essential dullness. The other 38 are
so many scheming, fighting, unscrupu-
lous, vicious cats. They grab at men,
money and security as if jungle law
were the only one in force in this
advanced day. They lie. steal each
others husbands, besmirch reputa-
tions and indulge every other practice
that could be called wanton, but in
stead of coming out as a hideous ex-
habit, it is very funny and sometimes
almost embarrassingly frank.
Even though it is not played with
the spirit and ease one might expect,
it is easy to understand why The
Women" has been amusing New York
theatergoers for more than year. In
disclosing her well-conceived convic-
ton that the fair sex is only out
Wardly fair-if even that, which some
of its members are not-Miss Boothe
has let her characters call a spade a
spade to make her dialogue a thing
of brightness and honesty. The girls
do speak freely about everything from
motherhood to the decline and fall of
manhood.
FROM the number of her characters,
40, it is obvious that the author
