MUNI PORTRAITS N Q V E | IST IN
 E MILE zOLA"
Outstanding French Novel; ist Theme, One of War
 ner Bros. Best Films

One of the greatest claims to fame possessed by the Republic of France is that it was the birthplace and the homeland of Emile Zola, the immortal novelist. His name is to France what Shakespeares is to England.
 And now, for the first time. zola reaches the films. With Paul MuEi in the name part, The Life of Emile Zola," an immense produc- ton by Warner Bros. came to the screen of the Coliseum Theatre yes terday
 There is a strong temptation, of course, to compare this epic drama with the one that gained for Muni, last year, the Motion Picture Aca- demy's award for the best perform ance by an actor in 1936-"The Story of Louis Pasteur"
 There's the same star, the same director (William Dieterle), and the same lavish type of picture-making. Possibly this may mean another gold statuette for Paul from the Academy. At all events, "The Life of Emile zola" is a truly great pie ture, and many observers believe it to be even greater than "Pasteur."
 It runs through the entire career of Zola. First he is seen as strIg- gling young writer, sometimes obliged to pawn even his shirt for bread. Then he meets the girl of the streets, Mana" (played by Erin O'Brien- -Moore) whose life he de- picts in a novel that earns him enormous sums and lifts him to in ternational fame.
 But most of the story has to do with Zolas courageous defense ot Captain Alfred Dreyfus, the army officer who was framed on false charge of selling secrets to Ger many, and who was sent to the hor- TOTS of Devils Island.
