Yes -- in this film she portrayed a hillbilly faith-healer(?!?!).
The film was a critical and commercial dud.
Yes it is from the movie Stage Door. The line is said as a part of dialogue that Katherine Hepburns characters is saying in a play that she is acting in. At first she says the line very stiff, a sign that her character cannot act very well. Then after Katherine Hepburn's character's friend is killed, she says the lines perfectly on opening night and is held as a great actress. Stage Door also starred Ginger Rodgers and a young Lucilee O'Ball in a bit part.
The Hepburn act gave the government the power to set and limit shipping costs.
