Today she accepts the most vicious character roles without a single shudder at the awfulness she will be expected to play, and portrays that role with such vehemence and sincerity that one is led to believe she actually likes it. "The Woman in Room 13" is a Henry King production adapted form the well-known stage Ralph Bellamy, Neil Hamilton and Gilbert Roland share the leading male honors.
