AVIATRIX FINDS LOVE THRILLS
PHOTOPLAY CHRISTOPHER
STRONG
An adventurous aviatrix who has
been seeking satiation in automo
bile racing and altitude flying en
counters the new thrill of youthful
romance and love in a middle-aged
British statesman and arouses tw'O
dormant great desires, in RKO-Ra
dio Pictures’ "Christopher Strong”,
featuring Katherine Kepburn, Colin
Clive, Billie Burke, Helen Chand
ler and Ralph Forbes.
Lady Cynthia Darrington dared to
wrest from life the thrills she want
ed at a 200-mile-an-hour pace, pur
suing the great god Speed in air
planes, automobiles and motorboats.
Sir Christopher Strong was piously
devoted to a conservative wife and
parliamentary documents for twenty
years. Meeting at four o'clock in the
morning at a party, Cynthia and
Christopher rise in her plane into
the early morning’s clandestine at
mosphere and into a great love,
tasting pleasures which they had
missed.
Christopher radically departs irom
convention, influenced by Cynthia.
He leaves his wife, consents to his
daughter’s “modern” marriage,
scorns social restrictions and for
gets Parliament. Cynthia lives again
in the new insight into life and love
which she has discovered—until she
learns she is to have a child. Cli
maxing a happy year with Christo
pher, Cynthia dramatically sacrific
es herself so that Christopher can
remain an honorable statesman,
father and husband.
Katherine Hepburn makes her se
cond notable screen appearance as
the alluring aviatrix. Colin Clive
lends his British polish to a natural
role, and Billie Burke enacts the
conservative wife. Helen Chandler
is a likeable daughter, and Ralph
Forbes portrays her married lover.
Dorothy Arzner directed “Christo
pher Strong” from Zoe Akins’ adap
tation of Gilbert Frankau’s novel.
The name of the person reported
as Elsie Gatty in Saturday's issue
was discovered to be L. C. Gaddy,
who arrived by an NAT plane from
Unalakleet on that day.
