Adolphe Menjou and Katharine Hepburn in Morning Glory (1933)
German collector card in the Moderne Schönheitsgalerie Series by Ross Verlag, second series, no. 221 (of 300). Photo: Radio Pict. Corp. Adolphe Menjou and Katharine Hepburn in Morning Glory (Lowell Sherman, 1933). The card was a supplement to 'Edelzigarette' (precious cigarette) Kurmark.
Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinée idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. In 1931, he was nominated for an Oscar for The Front Page (1931).
Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) was an indomitable American stage and film actress, known as a spirited performer with a touch of eccentricity. She introduced into her roles a strength of character previously considered to be undesirable in Hollywood leading ladies. As an actress, she was noted for her brisk upper-class New England accent and tomboyish beauty.
