Recent Move May End
The Movie Star System

must be augmented by more than just
an efficient Leading man-then one may
say that an end has at last been made
to the top-heavy star system which
was the cause of the movie induStry's
first prosperity and also Of its subse-
quent decline.
The solitary star, whose name
monopolized all the space on the cleo
trio signs. is happily a thing of the
past. The movie people have been
forced to learn that the mob wants to
see good pictures rather than glamorous
individuals. Charlie Chaplin can still
draw crowds, without aid of any CO.
stars, because he long ago realized that
the continuance of his fame depended
entirely upon the maintenance Of the
quality of his comedies.
The Hollywood organization which
staggers under the name, Academy Of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, has
announced the nominations for its 1881
awards. A vote will be taken Novem-
Der 10, and then. the academy will pre-
sent an incredibly ugly statue to each
Of the lucky winners.
The actresses under consideration are
Marlene Dietrich for her work in
Morocco; Marie DRESSER for Min
and Bill; Irene Dunno for "Cimarron";
Ann Harding for Holiday" and Norma
Shearer for "a Free Soul"
The favored actors are Lionel Bar
rymore for "A Free SOUL; Jackie
Cooper for "Skippy"; Richard Dix for
"Cimarron"; Frederic March for THE
Royal Family" and Adolph Menjou for
THE Front Page"
The best jobs Of direction cited are
"a Free Soul Clarence Brown, THE
Front Page" Gewis Milestone). "Cimar-
rom wesley Ruggles), Morocco"
Josef Won Sternberg), and "Skippy"
Norman Taurog).
I'm not a member Of the Academy,
and therefore have no vote, but that
consideration wouldn't stop me from
casting ballot or two if I could only
make up my mind. It's difficult to
make selection between Irene Dunno
Joan Crawford, Ina Claire and Miriam
Hopkins among the actresses. Jackie
Cooper certainly deserves the actors

It was In Portland, Greg. on or about
September l, 1927, that Miss O'Day and
the sextet crossed paths. with resulting
negotiations for a merger. Her duties
then consisted, in the main, of being
tossed around like medicine ball, a

gratitude to the American little and ex-

his job.
Browne went back to England in
1927 after is years of little theater
work in America, beginning with the
foundation Of the Chicago Little Thea
ter, with apparently nothing to show
for his efforts.
1t is now an old story how success

in which to make a sentimental journey
along the little theater route which he

the theater and of life, he has said, was
learned in America. and he would like
