Feather in her hat, a.avi

A FEATHER IN HER HAT (Columbia, 1935), directed by Alfred Santell, is an odd little film about a self-sacrificing woman, a theme most commonly found in 1930s dramas made popular by soap opera queens, including the likes of Ruth Chatterton or Kay Francis as prime examples. Pauline Lord (1890-1950), a veteran stage actress with MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH (Paramount, 1934) her screen debut, plays another one of her quietly compelling characterizations that might have set the standard for future film roles had she not made this her second and final screen performance.
Stars: Pauline Lord, Basil Rathbone, Louis Hayward
