issue of The College Nezvs. "Her voice had perhaps too much of the childish treble but her little movements, her poses and the contrast of her gaiety with the restrained atmosphere of the convent could not have been improved. Here was acting not only good, but which seemed to offer really dazzling possibilities of something far better."
That came with her choice for a leading role at May Day, just before Commencement. To the amazement of many, she was appointed by Doctor Samuel Arthur King, the college's most distinguished lecturer and Director of Diction, to play the part of Pandora in "The Woman of the Moon."
Prior to this, Kay had never had any reputation for beauty at college.
BEAUTIFUL?" repeats a member of The Bryn Mawr faculty now, recalling student Hepburn. "Why, no, certainly not beautiful, or even pretty. Glamorous? I would hardly say so. She was compelling. That is the word, I think." • Doctor King too felt no doubt at all as to the appropriateness of his "strange choice."
"Not strange at all," this high authority insisted. "I find Miss Hepburn has personality, which is essential, and otherwise great powers for nnfoldment." To encourage these, he even took a hand in her rehearsals himself.
Other breath-taking changes were befalling Kay in this her first wonder year. From being noisy, cyclonic, utterly unconcerned as to dress, she grew clothes-conscious, and for the first time in her life lay awake at night dreaming of — a man.
About the middle of her senior year, in the home of Bryn Mawr friends, she met Ludlow Ogden Smith — and the lightning hit hard. Romance descended upon her.
"I want to be beautiful," Kay announced suddenly to her astonished mates.
She was already engaged to "Luddy," when she sat in her cap and gown that June day six years ago at her graduation. "Luddy" it was who drove her home when it came time to say good-bye to the fair campus, "Luddy" to whom she was married on December 12th of that same year, in her parents' home, with her grandfather officiating at the ceremony.
And now that marriage, too, is over. Like her college days, it has become memory.
What does the future hold for Kay Hepburn? Whatever it is, you may be sure it won't be dull !
A role in "Crime Without Passion," produced by Hecht (left) and MacArthur in the east, called for an unknown. Pretty Alice Jefferson, a model, was the lucky gal.
