On Katharine Hepburn

The part was nearly unactable, yet Miss Hepburn took it, and found triumph in it. She glittered like a bracelet thrown up at the sun; she was metallic, yet reminded us that metals shine yet still melt.

Her voice is a rallying cry for truancy, a downright clarion. "she is" someone once declared "that yell - that shriek that is simultaneous with the ringing of a school bell." - the bell that provokes the rush to the playground. Miss Hepburn is not versatile - she is simply unique.  Like most stars of real magnitude, she can do two or three of the hardest things in the world supremely well; and the play scores a bulls-eye on the target of her talents.   Her role is written in one note, but it is Miss Hepburn's note, and she makes it sound like a Cadenza - Kenneth Tynan on the Millionairess.
