RKO 1935: we look at a couple of starring vehicles for two of the Queens of the Lot. First up is Anne Shirley in the deliberately slight and quietly charming\xa0Chasing Yesterday, paired with another father figure, O. P. Heggie (also her kindred spirit in the previous year's\xa0Anne of Green Gables, from which she took her screen name and which was also directed by George Nicholls Jr.). Then, the not-at-all-quiet\xa0Break of Hearts, directed by Philip Moeller (or Jane Loring?), in which Katharine Hepburn's dewy-idealed aspiring composer and Charles Boyer's jaded superstar conductor engage in psychosexual warfare. Dave goes to bat for this unloved Hepburn vehicle and its unique view of female artistry. Should Berman get the credit again?\xa0
