She was sent. She was given the lead in “The Man Who Found Himself.” She played it in a| fashion that has the whole town (of Hollywood) talking. She has beauty | and personality and brains, they all | are saying. And so we are saying that you will know who to be looking out for in the way of leading prospects for 1937. Remember Joan Fontaine. If she makes good, of course. Otherwise, just forget the whole thing. B AR TH‘E English obsession with murder psychology which gave Broadway two of its fancier melodramas last Fall is going to give Ann Harding back to local screen followers on Friday. The men of Loew, to whose Capitol Theater the pictures comes, screened it yester- day just to demonstrate that Miss Harding is in pretty fine fettle in spite of a long absence from Kleig lights. Our screening room corner-sitter reports that Miss Harding is no longer the same old martyr in “Love From a Stranger.” In fact, she sort of pla\sl the old victim with reverse English. | The stranger from whom Miss Hard- ing gets love is a strange chap, in- deed. She is his fourth wife, the other three having been murdered. We are not going to spoil good suspense which | Director Rowland V. Lee got into the | picture by telling you how Miss Hard- | ing comes out. Except to say that you | probably will shed no tears for Basil Rathbone, who plays the murderous | husband mighty well. * * h AY 6 has been set as the date for the opening of the Warner Bros. neighborhood the house will serve, one with 40,000 residents.
