THE FRONT PAGE ( 1931 ) 237 Garbo, still wisely sticking to roles in which her— by now— slight accent was no handicap, made Inspiration, adapted from Daudet's Saplw. Clarence Brown directed, and Lewis Stone and Robert Montgomery played the other leads. Garbo appears here, with Stone, wearing one of the exotic gowns Adrian designed for her. ABOVE RIGHT Motion pictures won a distinguished actor in 1930, when Warner Brothers persuaded Otis Skinner to play his original stage role in a screen adaptation of Kismet. BELOW Hecht and MacArthur's rowdy epic of the newspaper world, The Front Page, was a natural for the screen. Howard Hughes produced it and Lewis Milestone did the directing. Pat O'Brien, shown here, made his first appearance in pictures, playing the role of Hildy Johnson, the star reporter.
