Academy Awards are gold-plated statuets nicknamed Oscars. Oscar for the 1936 best performance by an actor went last week to Paul Muni, who attended the banquet wearing the beard he used in his forthcoming The Woman I Love. The award was for his work in the title role of The Story of Louis Pasteur. Screenwriters Sheridan Gibney and Pierre Collings, who wrote and adapted The Story of Louis Pasteur, got two Oscars, for the best original screen story and the best screen adaptation of the year. Oscar for the best direction of the year went to Frank Capra...
...taken prisoner and where his mother (Fay Bainter) and a girl (Elizabeth Allan), whom he has gallantly been escorting along the way, are present when Ogareff has his eyes roasted. The roasting produces no bad effects because Ogareff's mistress (Margot Grahame), who has fallen in love with the courier while shadowing him, bribes the executioner to do it inefficiently. Nonetheless, by the time he reaches Irkutsk, Michael is in terrible shape. His clothes are torn to ribbons and it is all he can do to jump on a horse and rescue the town from the Tartars, practically singlehanded...

In a hand-to-hand combat between Michael Ingolby and Michael Strogoff, the correct odds would be even money. In addition to burning the Armada with the aid of seven men in rowboats...
...solo with the Philharmonic-Symphony and was quickly snapped up by the opera. Her debut as Manon was a triumph of personality as well as art. The little Brazilian used her little voice so that every phrase told. She tossed her pretty head, fell in and out of love, made Massenet's shallow, adorable wanton come to life. In La Traviata she was a higher-minded harlot, pathetically resigning her love so as not to ruin him. She sang the difficult display-piece Sempre Libera with uncommon charm...
Julia got her real start in an English provincial repertory company. She had lovely legs, but she was not beautiful: she had what the director called an india-rubber face, capable of expressing any emotion at will. In short, Julia was a natural. She was working hard in the repertory company, learning fast, when she fell in love with Michael, a member of the same company. Michael was dazzlingly handsome but not much of a ladies' man, and not a very good actor except in certain limited parts. He was pleased with Julia's adoration, accepted as much...
