8 THE U-HIGH MIDWAY_.TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1972 --Mini-Views-- 'Tracy and Hep burn': Great By Je~sica Kohn Most movie· stars faded away with the make-believe splendor of Hollywood. There are a few, however, ·like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn whose films have endured through the years and will probably continue to for a long while. In "Tracy and Hepburn" (Viking, 1970, $7.95), Author Garson Kanin presents a delightful intimate memoir of this immortal screen pair. Through anecdote and observation, which provides light and enjoyable reading, he details the characteristics which distinguished them not only as brilliant actors but as great human beings as well. The most basic quality each possessed was eccentricity' but not a put-on eccentricity so common among their contemporaries. They both had tremendous style and discretion and, therefore, gained unanimous respect not only in the film industry, but among artists, writers. politicians and businessmen all over the world. As Orson Welles, the actor and director, accurately comments on Photos y ar urvey the back of the jacket cover, DURING THEIR lunch period, from left, "Tracy and Hepburn" is surely one of the two or three best books about actors Rice, Senior Diane Graham and Junior Jody ever Written._ I found myself wolfing the whole delicious thing in one long, greedy gulp Junior Diane Erickson, Freshman Wendy Wash Richardson rehearse a song for the student This 1sa fasc1nat1ng book about two fascinating people. ington, Senior Adele Friedman, Junior Barbara faculty choir.
