Once again the actors and ac-
tresses of Hollywood have spoken
by ballot-to honor each other and
the distinguished achievements of
their industry during 1910
With the announcement today of
winning pictures and winning per-
sonaities in the third annual stars
turn critics" poll conducted by the
North American Newspaper Alliance
and The Star, the Academy of Mo-
ton Picture Arts and Sciences had
evidence in plenty for looking for
ward next February to the keenest,
most exciting of all statuette races.
Participating in the newspaper
poll this December were several
hundred screen artists-stars, fea-
tured and bit players-who ex-
pressed their individual choices in
several different divisions Of picture
making.
Among them were 40 best pic
tures," best performance by an
actor" "best performance by an ac-
tress" and best achievement in di-
recting"
The players were also requested
to answer this question: Which
two new players. in your estimation,
have shown most promise in l940?"
With the exception of ''best &C.
tress," results in all departments
were closer than any one had dared
forecast. Mostly, they were neck
and-nock races, with fields of eight
and ten in some instances coming
down the stretch for photo finishes.

Here are the results in the prin-
cipal divisions:
