Stage Door crackles with zingers ad-libbed by a cast that includes Ginger Rogers, Katharine Hepburn, Eve Arden, and Lucille Ball.

While it sometimes lapses into pure corn, it nevertheless manages to capture the manic-depressive dormitory atmosphere of young actresses trying to make it in New York.

It is funny in spots, emotionally effective occasionally, and generally brisk and entertaining.

Incidentally, the stage play was thrown away for the photoplay; they kept the name and locale. Great improvement. Ginger Rogers steals the show.
