Success

When it comes to suspense, there is nothing like a Broadway first night.

So say such leaders of the thea- tre as Lowell Sherman and Ka- tharine Hepburn, director and star

respectively of "Morning Glory" which will "be shown at the King's Theatre on Sunday.

The work of months, sometimes years, hangs in the balance. The curtains sweeps up, the play is on. Out beyond the footlights sit judge and jury, the critics and the audience..

By the time the second set is

ended, the verdict usually is in. Hopes are realized or blasted. A

new hit is on its way to a long run. or another top hits the skids for a quick closing.

There will probably be bigger and better pictures made than "MORNING GLORY," but it is to be doubted if any actor or actress will ever surpass Miss Hepburn's characterization in this picture. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. incidental- ly, gives far and away the best performance of his career.

Lowell Sherman, who directed, showed that he is easily one of Holly- wood's cleverest directors.
