“IN PERSON”

Cinger Royers’ Solo Triumph in Sophisticated Comedy Shakespeare did not cover all the j methods a clever gentleman may use j in the taming of a shrew in his celebrated comedy. “In Person” provides ] an amusing angle, with George Brent j the resourceful tamer, and Ginger Rogers, who is starred in this RKO Radio picture, portraying an arrogant screen actress. “In Person” comes from the same pen which wrote the sensationally successful screen-play, “It Happened One Night.” The pen belongs to Samuel Hopkins Adams, popular author. Among his novel# are “Wanted, a Husband,” “Common Cause,” “Secret of Lonesome Cove,” “Great American Fraud,” “Flying Death,” and “Revelry.” In “In Person,” Adams again turns to sophisticated comedy-drama, giving Ginger Rogers an opportunity to display her heretofore little revealed talents in that direction. The story concerns the comic and romantic entanglements which develop when an egotistical actress fails in love with a handsome young man, who refuses to accept her celebrated charms as an offset to her exhausting arrogance. This is Miss Rogers’ first solo starring vehicle and establishes her as a brilliant actress of sophisticated comedy.
