Miss Joan Bennett, on a fnan’s holiday, managed to take in two movies vesterday. In adaition, she did her bit in the starring role of “Stage Door" before a capacily audience at English's in the evening. In a brief interval between seeing ‘Nothing Sacred” and quick dinner before her ance, this reporter and a photographer caught up with her in her suite at the Hotel Lincoln. Things off to a when it developed that and interviewer liked cred,” but enjoyed Truth” even more nett wanted a reaction on the relative technicolor merits of Sacred” and her latest picture, “Vogues of 1938.” Apparently agreed on that, too

Eventually around to the Door.” For the star is a stage enthusiast as well as a movie fan. . She must love theater, for she said: “We can make as weeks of picture work as we can in 40 on the road. But it does anyone good to get away from the routine existence you live in Hollywood.” In answer to the underlying reason for her present tour, Miss Bennett said, “No, I'm not doing this play to improve my technique. I want to go into New York with a play next season, and | this semed the best way to get back into the “feel’ of the theater.”
