Friday night I went to see “The Philadelphia Story” with Katharine Hepburn. It is a most entertaining play, but I cannot help feeling that even a sophisticated, disagreeable child could be as odious as Dinah. Perhaps Mr. Barry, the author, had to point her up in this manner, and perhaps there is no need for sticking to reality so long as you get your point across—but to me she seemed a very unreal phenomenon. We had a delightful evening and I think Miss Hepburn and all the cast do so well that this play deserves its great success.

Some smart Hollywood producer should make this play into a movie. With the right cast it could do well.

My beloved late Father met Jimmy Stewart, who was in
“The Philadelphia Story”, while they were both serving in England during WWII. They were in a mess hall with a few hundred other GI’s. My Dad sat across from Jimmy. He sat down and said,”Hello.” Then preceded to eat his meal. Dad said he chewed every bite 20 times.He said that must be why Jimmy was so skinny! Mr. Stewart was one of my favorite Actors and a great American!
