Other InformationPlot SummaryEva Lovelace, would-be actress trying to crash the New York stage, is a wildly optimistic chatterbox full of theatrical mannerisms. Her looks, more than her talent, attract the interest of a paternal actor, a philandering producer, and an earnest pla...

Trivia and QuotesQuotes Louis Easton: [to Eva] Please, Eva, you must put me out of your heart. I don`t belong there, and you don`t belong in mine. I`m not the man for you. I never was. You don`t belong to any man now. You belong to Broadway, theater, lights. Robert Harley Hedges: [to Eva] Keep your health, your money, and your head, Eva, if you want to go on. Louis Easton: What is your name?
Eva Lovelace: Eva Lovelace. Like it? I can change it if you don`t. Rita Vernon: You know, the only way to live through a party like this is to get good and tight. Eva Lovelace: Nellie, they`ve all been trying to frighten me. They`ve been trying to frighten me into being sensible, but they can`t do it. Not now. Not yet. They`ve got to let me be as foolish as I want to be. I-I want to ride through the crowd. I want to- I want to go buy me a mink coat. And I`ll buy you a beautiful present. And Mr. Hedges! I`ll buy Mr. Hedges a little house. And it`ll have rooms full of white orchids. And they`ve got to tell me that I`m much more wonderful than anyone else because, Nellie - Nellie, I`m not afraid. I`m not afraid of being just a morning glory. I`m not afraid. I`m not afraid. I`m not afraid. Why should I be afraid? I`m not afraid. Eva Lovelace: Every year, in every theater, some young person makes a hit. Sometimes it`s a big hit, cometimes a little one. It`s a distinct success, but how many of them keep their heads? How many of them work? Youth comes to the fore. Youth has its hour of glory. But too often it`s only a morning glory - a flower that fades before the sun is very high. Eva Lovelace: I hope you`re going to tell me your name. I want you for my first friend in New York. Mine`s Eva Lovelace. It`s partly made up and partly real. It was Ada Love. Love`s my family name. I added the `lace.` Do you like it, or would you prefer something shorter? A shorter name would be more convenient on a sign. Still, `Eva Lovelace in Camille,` for instance, or `Eva Lovelace in Romeo and Juliet` sounds very distinguished, doesn`t it? Eva Lovelace: I`m not afraid! I`m not afraid of being a morning glory!
Oh, Nellie, I`m not afraid!
Robert Harley Hedges: Youth has its hour of glory... but too often it`s only a morning glory, the flower that fades before the sun is very high. Charlie Van Duesen: You`re the best young actress in America.
Rita Vernon: I know that. Gwendolyn Hall: My! You`re gaining weight.
Rita Vernon: Yes. I`ll soon be your size, my dear!Trivia The four portraits that Eva sees in the theatre are of Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore, Sarah Bernhardt and John Drew. Sarah Bernhardt is well-known in her own right even now. The portrait of John Drew is likely to be of John Drew Jr (1853-1927) rather than John Drew Sr (1827-1862) (an American actor of the early 1800s). John Drew Jr was a renowned American actor of the late 1800s, the leading matinée idol of his time. Maude Adams (1872-1953) was one of the most popular American actresses of the 1890s and early 1900s, achieving great fame in J. M. Barrie`s plays. Drew Jr and Adams worked together for 5 years from 1892, achieving great success and making Adams a star. Ethel Barrymore (1879-1959), with brothers Lionel and John, was one of the Barrymore siblings who achieved greatness on the American Stage and in films. The Barrymore siblings were the niece and nephews of John Drew Jr. Katharine Hepburn is the only movie star to win four Academy Awards (2009) for her leading roles in Morning Glory (1933), Guess Who`s Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981). Hepburn and Fairbanks performed the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet" in costume, but it was not used in the picture. Adolphe Menjou re-created his role as Louis Easton for the "Lux Radio Theatre" hour-long version of this film, broadcast on October 12, 1942 by CBS. Co-starring were Judy Garland as Eva Lovelace and John Payne as Joseph Sheridan. Filmed in 17 days. | ||
