Comment
An aspiring actress (Katharine Hepburn) arrives in New York to start her career and meets a theatre producer (Adolphe Menjou), an elderly actor (C Aubrey Smith) and a playwright (Douglas Fairbanks Jr) who all fall under her spell in different ways. The film is all about the performance of Katharine Hepburn who dominates the film and although she won an oscar for her performance it does come over strange and forced. In many ways not her best performance but it did help start her career. The film looses its way in the last third and comes to an abrupt end. There is good support from C Aubrey Smith as the older English actor and Mary Duncan as the egotistical actress.
