IN PERSON

Soaring from submerged featured roles to solo, stardom within the short span of eighteen months, Ginger Rogers is headlined and underscored in the biling, for "In Person," in which George Brent is cast as her romantic lead.

After a series of lesser roles, Miss Rogers achieved co-stardom with some of the screen's leading male stars, outstanding among whom are Fred Astaire, with whom she has appeared in "Roberta," "The Gay Divorcee" and "Top Hat": Francis Lederer, her screen mate in "Romance in Manhattan"; and Witam Powell, her suave boy friend in "Star' of Midnight.".

"In Person" gives Miss Rogers a new flim lover, George Brent, who. shares in its comedy, drama and. above all. romance. Together. they enact the chief participants in a speedy and robust story by Samuel Hopkins Adams, author of the prize-winning "It Happened One Night."
