HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
RY PAUL HARRTsON

Hollywood = There have been many favorable estimates of the tal- ents of Katherine Hepburn, espe- cially since her stage triumph in Philadelphia Story" But I believe this department is the first to be able to report authoritatively that she is an actress to the tips of her toes.
 For one sequence in Metros filming of the play, Miss Hepburn not only emoted from those ex- termitieS, but also appeared to be squiffed to her patrician eyebrows. She and Jimmy Stewart had had big night (with conversation and champagne) by a swimming pool, and she now was. allowing herself to be carried in his un- steady arms to the house. Her hair was damply disheveled and except for bare arms and legs she was wrapped in an old brown robe. Thus greeting the dawn, they also met the man whom she was sup- posed to marry that day. In de- f1ance of such an awkward situation, Miss Hepburn proceeded to embrace MT. Stewart. With her shoes on, this would have been only an ardent gesture. With her feet bare, 1t was something to watch. While her arms clutched the man carrying her, rather long and astonishingly pre- hensile toes interwined and elapsed. If feet can behave ecstatically, hers did. All this was carefully recorded by eight shots of the camera under the direction of appreciative George Cukor.
 Hollywood has had a hard time

to the Strand tomorrow afternoon for an engagement of four days
 Taking 8 new turn, ;nasmuch as no 'Thin Man" mystery or tactics are involved, the story deals with the plight of a man who suddenly recovers from an eight-year attack of amnesia only to discover that he has acquire. a new personality, a wife, bank account, spotless reputation in the town of HaberS- vile and the managers berth in a large pottery works.
 Powell has never turned in a more amusing performance. His action, early in the film before he shakes his amnesia, bring him before the public in a new type of character ization. He is stuffy, egotistical, a complete teetotaler and downright bore.
 As lis wife, Myrna Loy will add new fans to her already large con- gregation. She isn't the to be ex- pected perfect wife" in this one. Quite to ttt. contrary. Instead of chasing after her husband, he is forced to chase after her. Not only is she getting divorce, but her next husband is already chosen.
 The strong supporting cast in- cludes Frank McHugh, Edmund Lowe and Nella Walker.
 Co-featuring this entertaining program will be Money and the Woman" with Jeffrey Lynn and Brenda Marshall in the co-starring leads.

With Peter Lorre in its title role, Stranger on the Third Floor" pre- sents an unusual piece of film fare to theater- -goers. The picture, which opens a three-day engagement to- morrow at Loew's Poi theater, deals with the dangers of circunstantial evidence, and it sets forth its argu- ments in a brilliantly impressive manner.
 A young taxi-driver is convicted of murder, largely through the un- willing testimony of newspaper man who gives his evidence as a public duty. The reporter lives in 8 cheap lodging house, where he has had several altercations with a neighboring roomer and with his landlady. That evening he encoun- ters an odd stranger in the place, and later has 8 vivid experience in which he sees himself tried and convicted on the charge of murder ing the roomer, although he knows he is completely innocent.
 Pulling himself together, he in vestigates, discovers that the roomer

 Pretty soon, John Ford's name was mentioned, and my interview went overheard for an argument. Miss Hepburn thinks he's 8 marvellous guy.
 And anyway, believe the circum- stances were more interesting than the things she said. Her one-piece costume was rag-bag item instead of a glamour gown. She shuffed on and of the set in a pair of old bed- room slippers. She sat on a rolled up carpet on the floor and talked, smoked, slipped tea, fixed her make up, examined and praised some stills, made a joke about Sylvia Scarlett, 1" her worst picture flop.

reconciling itself to the completely ingratiating manners of The New Katie Hepburn. All I can say is that if her current cordiality is an act, it is a performance worth an Academy award. Because her be- havior goes beyond mere tolerance of visitors on the set and amenity to interviews, she's the life of the company and the darling of the press agents. Still-picture camera men finds her an easy subject, and she rejects fewer photographs than almost any other star. She works overtime without complaint, and even asks Cukor's assurance that she isn't making faces or hogging any scenes.
 Many an actress, called difficult" or worse by her home studio, has zoomed into personal popularity un- der friendlier circumstances. Mar lene Dietrich, now whooping it up at Universal after unhappy years with Paramount. is the best example. Katharine Hepburn, antagonized by RKO literally from the minute she got off the train, still thinks of that studio with a deep and abiding loathing.
 We had quite a lot of converse ton, disjointed by her frequent trips to an offstage mirror to disarrange her hair, and by Cukor's imperative howls for her presence on the set. Once she talked about Philip Barry, author of this play. Next trip, she praised Cary Grant, really the head man of the cast. This is her fourth picture with him, and it seems he has a marvelously mobile face.

Gun sensed from the tensity of her
figure that she was holding her
self in. and that something had
happened.
When she saw them she made a
hasty gesture to them to get back
onto the lawn and then, being now
out of sight of the guard, she hur-
ried up to them.
"Something very awkward has
happened. I don't exactly k n o W

in a low voice.

Then listen: This may not

chance. Here's what we've got tc

Tommy rubbing his palms to-
gether delightedly.
ut may debut it's a damned
tall order, my boy"
Dare say-but I've dealt with
tall orders before. in my time
Gun laughed softly.
$50 have I, 1 suppose. But this
n seems a little different, or per
haps that's just my imagination
'They can't do more than Kill
us, at the worst" Tommy grinned.
Gun said nothing, but inwardly
he thought: That's just it-they
CAN, and if we fail they will"
They discussed the matter eX-
haustively until dinner time, and
made a dozen plans, only to re-
ject them again, or to hold them
in reserve.
During the meal Tommy was in
high spirits, and Gun had the
greatest difficulty in stopping him
from making some reference to
the escape, which would almost
certainly be heard through the
microphone. He thanked the gods,
too, that Trent and Otto would put
his ch%eerfulness down 10 the fact
that he was making progress with
Coral. And this, Gun told himself,
would be all to the good. But in
thinking thus, he made no allow
ance for Otto's jealousy.
After dinner they went out into
the garden.
The truth of the matter is"
Gun said, that it's quite impossi-
BILE to make any cut-and-dried
plan. It's all a matter of chance.
Anything may happen-and at any
minute"
And just about that space of
time after he had spoken, the truth
of his words was proved in a very
dramatic and unpleasant way.
There were sounds from the
gate, and Gun exclaimed sharply:
"Hullo! What's in the wind now?
That's Coral's voice."
They turned back to the bunga-
low to meet her. She walked to-
ward the door with her usual
graceful, rather Slanguid walk, but
