It seems amazing not to have to rush to a set right after the noon hour. Kate lazily yields to the drowsiness which creeps up on her. That chaise lounge in her cretonned bedroom lures her. She picks up a new book — the house is chockfull of new books — and totes it upstairs with her. In half an hour she is yawning over it. When she wakes she hears noises down on the side porch. It's the collegians again. So she drops the book, runs a comb through her hair, and dashes down to get in on the argument. It's some worldshaking matter. She edges into a swing, grabs a glass of lemonade, and swears that when she went to Bryn Mawr no Harvard man ever dared to defy her with any such sheer nonsense ! This star who can confound Hollywood with idiosyncrasies, who won't be interviewed out there at all, is now part of an intensely real household, reveling in the kind of vacation few movie stars ever take. Kate has gone a long way up. She's acquired great acclaim. She certainly could be summering in grand style. But home sounds better to her. When faced with a dilemma, Kate has invariably come home. WHAT to do about Hollywood and marriage seems far away on these long summer evenings, with the crickets chirping in the lawn and no one demanding that she Do Something Dramatic Immediately. Kate is certainly earnestness itself when her adored older brother relates his progress. She doesn't have bossy words for her sisters either, but gives her opinion when they request it. The family's conversation gets around to what she's going to do, eventually. But there is no sense of urgency here in Hartford, no feeling that Kate must rush into some bizarre schedule for fear of losing out in Hollywood. The Hepburns, anyway, have always seen to it that they don't have to rush crazily into ill-advised paths. Kate can afford to select because she's saved enough money to be independent. In Hollywood it's the theory that Kate's never taken advice from anyone. Hollywood accuses her of egotism, because she persists in working on barred sets. However, those who actually work with her have found her as likeable as her family and close friends do. Gary Grant, who is in a position to speak authoritatively and who has nothing to gain by apple polishing, says, "Kate is more congenial than any actress I've ever worked with. She's my favorite !" But Hollywood as a whole will never be able to reason out a star who'll talk seriously with mere studio employees and thereby lose a chance to broadcast sensationally via interviewers. Kate's views are numerous, logical, provocative. But she contends that Garbo had the truest inspiration about publicity and that what the public wants to imagine about an actress is unlimited. If any actress should talk freely to the press, it is evident that she'd not be as intriguing. So, why talk? Because Kate is so analytical, and honest, she should reach the right conclusion about herself this summer. She knows that she wants to go on acting in important pictures. But she says one or two a year will be sufficient. Last year she earned $200,000 in Hollywood, so why not pick carefully now? She knows, too, that she wants to continue her stage climlj, for she has much further to go in the theatre itself. She quit Broadway when she'd only begun, and her one return was severely panned. Last year she toured on the road, most successfully. She didn't take the play into New York because she had a suspicion she I CLOPAY LINTONE WINDOW SHADES 87
