In the middle of her fourth decade in the theatre, Gertrude Lawrence still speaks of "just beginning to make a go of it." The remark does much to explain her determined, year-by-year climb to preeminence in one branch of the entertainment business after another. It is really quite foolish to speak of her as "a substitute" for the Life Force. Of that Force, she has at least eight or ten women's share.
