There is more than mechanized glamour, cultivated beauty, and enchanting manner to Miss Katherine Hepburn. Yes, definitely more and even if her performance on the boards in "The Lake" was not an overwhelming triumph she is certainly as fascinating and as skilled an actress as the screen can present.

Although Waldemar Wysocki lands great slamming blows, after the manner of Brad Simmons, he doesn't follow them up, and was outclassed in the 165-pound division by Andrew Stuart. Dwight Ellis, 145 pounds, overcame his short reach to fight to a draw with Raymond Carter...
