...handsome athlete took charge on the diamond, calling the defensive shots, cutting down base runners like so many cornstalks, and imposing his canny grasp of pitching tactics on temperamental hurlers.

Squinting menacingly at rival pitchers over his high Choctaw cheekbones, the young Oklahoman made his biggest noise at the plate that first year, belting 15 homers...

Dorothy Arzner started making pictures in the 1930s (Craig's Wife, The Bride Wore Red), as did Ida Lupino in the 1950s (The Hitch-Hiker, The Bigamist), but they hardly began a trend.
