With two months to go. 1914 has
unearthed an unprecedented num-
Der of fine comedy performances
and yet 1t is extremely doubtful II
any one Of them will be seriously
considered when Oscar" time rolls
around.
And this is another thing about
Hollywood that seems to knock all
popular axioms and adages into a
cooked hat. One of them now reads /:
Laugh and the world laughs with
you. Weep, and you win an Acad-
emy Award"
Comedies still seem to win top
favor with audiences throughout the
country, probably always will, but
their performers are left out in
the cold at Academy Award time. 1t
is the hand-wringers and the
breast-beaters who walk off with
the top honors.
When he took over the Chinese
Theater stage last March to act as
master of ceremonies, Jack Benny
kidded about the fact that come
dians never won Oscars But Jack
Benny was really kidding on the
level"
Take the case of Jean Arthur,
rated one of the most adept actress
eS in the colony. 1t happens that
Jean specializes in comedy, very
seldom gets dramatic. She has
been prominent player in a long
string of successes at Columbia,
among them ''Mr. Deeds Goes to
Town." The Devil and Miss Jones'"
You Can't Take 1t With YOU"
The More the Merriar" and now
1.-The Impatient Years" Those
titles alone are enough to con-
vince any one that Jean has made
comedy history. But, so far, they
haven't said it with Oscars.
However, there was one excep-
ton to the rule. 1t occurred just
10 years ago when 1T Happened
One Night" ran off with all Academy
honors, including statuettes for its
two stars, Claudette Colbert and
Clark Gable. Since then it's been
the drah-ma and nothing else that's
guided voters.
Bop Hope supplies an excellent ex-
ample of Hollywood neglect. He's
been showered with awards of every
description by various organizations
throughout the country. Bob is the
acknowledged king of comedy but
when the Academy board goes into
action he seems to rate only as court
jester
Eddie Bracken IN 1874 mas come
through with two side-Splitting per-
formanCCS, via The Miracle of Nor
gan's Greek" and Hail the Conquer
ing Hero" but no one gives him the
slightest chance of even winning a i
nomination for best actor
RoSalind Russell has contributed
many outstanding comedy perform
anceS. irene Dunno is another who
has swiJcnad from drama to comedy
with telling effect. Neither has come
within toucning distan of an
Oscar i
Gary Cooper has given some of
his very best screen portrayals to
comedies, notably Mr.. Deeds Goes
to Town" Many believe his role
In Casanova Brown should entitle
him to consideration in the next
voting, but the fact that it's@comedy
and somewhat on the slapstick side
will play heavily against his chances.
Significantly, Cooper's one Oscar
was won through a stark, realistic
performance as Sergeant York"
In view Of all this, quite clique
has arisen in Hollywood demanding
a fair break for the comedy portray
ers. They waEt more comedies Eom-
mated in the list of 10 best pictures

Crosby's Grooming Hypnotizes

He was in coil and had his
