CRITIQUES

"Miss Katharine Hepburn comes into her own as Antiope the royal Amazon Theseus falls in love with. Ever since she supported Miss Jane Cowl in Art and Mrs. Bottle, I've been waiting for Miss Hepburn to fall heir to a role worthy of her talent and her beauty. Antiope is that role and Miss Hepburn makes the most of it, bringing out its tenderness, its humor, its bite. It's been many a night since so glowing a performance has brightened the Broadway scene."

- Richard Garland, New York World-Telegram

COMMENTARY TRACK
