The critics, forgetting their normal caution, have noted her "enormous range," her "incomparable sensibility," her "genius." Her fellow actors agree. Helen Hayes has solemnly passed on to her the handkerchief that Sarah Bernhardt gave to Julia Marlowe -sure symbol of her succession as first lady of the American theater. Ethel Barrymore, after Julie's success in Member of the Wedding and I Am a Camera, concluded: "That girl...
