Katherine Hepburn comes from a wealthy society background but wants to make her way in the theatre without the backing of her family name. She moves into a theatrical boarding house and shares a room with Ginger Rogers and experiences all the emotional high's and low's of being an aspiring actress. The plot is not great, but the film does move with a good pace to keep the interest and there is plenty of witty dialogue. There are good performances from Katehrine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers (in one of her dramatic and comic roles rather than a dancing role) and Andrea Leeds.
