IRENE DUNNE
A VERSATILE ACTRESS. Few actresses on the screen have proved their versatility more than Irene Dunne. She was originally tested for the screen as a possible singing star, but was not given a chance to "vocalise” until several years later. After a film debut in a minor picture, she was established in "Cimarron,” in which she appeared with Richard Dix. It was when appearing with this star in "Stingaree” that she introduced several operatic arias to movie audiences, and later she also sang in "Sweet Adeline” and “Roberta,” and "Show Boat." "Theodora Goes Wild,” "The Awful Truth,” and “Joy of Living” established Miss Dunne as a comedienne, and in "Love Affair,” in which she and Charles Boyer are together for the first time, she has a role which introduces her ability to sing, and demonstrates her powers as a comedienne and dramatic actress.
