SCREENL AND Miriam Hopkins, TAKE YOUR BOW! You win Screenland's Honor Page this month with your performance in "The Smiling Lieutenant" BECAUSE she brings something entirely novel to the screen, Miriam Hopkins gets our Honor Page. Jt isn*t beauty that she brings — or supreme talent — or glamor. It's — suppose we call it just a sense of humor. So few of our ingenues have one — that the advent of Miss Hopkins with a twinkle in her eye, a quirk to her lips and her tongue in her cheek was particularly welcome at this point ! She plays a prim princess with a Chevalier crush, and pretty soon it's apparent that underneath the tiara there's a lot of primitive girl. The camera has been none too kind to Miriam, but you'll find her quaint, clever, and refreshing all the same. One of the snappy scenes in Lubitsch' s smart screen comedy, "The Smiling Lieutenant," starring Maurice Chevalier, with Miriam Hopkins playing a love-lorn princess who suddenly begins to behave quite like other girls.
