Warners are about to make "The Old Maid" in which Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins will ce-star and have with them as leading actor Humphrey Bogart. This promises to be one of the most interesting associations imaginable. Humphrey Bogart is undoubtedly an actor. of unusual ability, who has shown more than once that he is able to play other parts than that of the eternal gangster.
Miriam Hopkins is one of the leading screen actresses who can really act. She can express tragedy as well as comedy and everything she does is informed with a fine intelligence. Bette Davis, who has received some of the most important of film award for her individual acting, is an interesting personality with an astringent and slightly sinister, atmosphere.
This trio—Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins with Humphrey Bogart—should afford the most promising opportunities for right direction and represent a degree of star casting not too unwieldy or diffuse for dramatic handling. Star casts when they include too many illustrious names are inclined to distract the attention of director as well as spectator.
