Bogart Also Upset.
The second most lugubrious
guess turns up in the Academy's
choice Of Humphrey Bogart as
the best male performer Of the
year. The words to be eaten on
this, taken from The Sunday
Star, February "a, are: Marion
Brando Is not exactly q popular
fellow in Hollywood or anywhere
else. -. Nevertheless he is the
most predictable choice as actor
Of the year. Strongest Of the
other candidates are Fredric
March and Arthur Kennedy"
Where is Bogart In this fore
cast? Exactly where Kefauver
was the day before the New
Hampshire primary.
The surprise In Bogart's vic.
tory is Of the same flavor a.
that in the case Of "An Amer
ican in Paris" His was q COM
edy performance in African
Queen" and the tradition against
an award-worthy comedy Inn
personation is every bit as old
and firm as that against musi-
Gals. A prophet who completely
overlooked Bogart might weasel
out Of his embarrassment by
pointing out that Academy
voters are notoriously sentiment
tai about acting veterans. The
case Of Joan Crawford in "Mil-
dred Pierce" is the classic Illus
tration of this and still Is
discussed in community centers
and buffers pantries from Ban
gor to San Diego.
This way out Of '1'affaire

able.

Unlike presidential primary
voters. however, members Of the
Academy did leave a few solac-
ing crumbs to the film fore
casters. They did elect Vivien
Leigh as the years best actress

threw to the hungry prophets
was the choice Of George Ste

It has been pleasant up to
now, watching the political ex-
pertS tumhling from their
limbs, eating crow. and losing
faith In the probability Of the
American voter.
It is pleasant no longer. The
Nations f1lm critics are left
with nothing to do but to ask
the political experts to move
over.
They, too, have been betrayed
In the same laughable way by
their professional body polite,
the Motion Picture Academy
voters. When these last week
declared their independence by
voting "An American In Paris"
the best movie Of 1851. the
critics and columnistS were left
without . shred Of prophetic
honor.
It was not that the reviewers
and columnistS did not throw
their own hats In the air over
the big Metro Goldwyn-Mayer
musical. They just did not
throw them that high. Some
wanted to do so, but there
is Q mental block against
musicals as "best" pictures.
They may be far and away
the best entertainment, and the
most brilliant productions as
were "Oklahomal" and South
Pacific" In their flrst years on
Broadway. Until the Academy
made its awards last Thursday
night. however, the best any
musical-Stage or screen-could
expect was to be tagged as the
best musical Of its season.
Tradition Is Upset.
Today, that tradition lies
splattered over 3 million miles
Of American landscape. The
voters have voted 1t into OBJ
livion with q fine, reckless dis
regard for any professional
critical canon which insists best
plays or movies shall have q
dramatic message or meaning.
The critics can have "a Place
In the Sun" and "a Street Car
Named Desire" as they did in
dozens Of polls. Academy voters,
exercising the right of free men
and women. will take "An Amer
ican in Paris"
This Is q heretical thing, but
only the StufieSt critic will con-
tend that it also is not a sound.
even an inspired, hereSy.
It is. after all, no more nor
less than a variation of the old
democratic custom of turning
the rascals out. Artistic raScals,
be they ever so high minded, are
just as likely to become bores
as political ones. And so proba-
bly, can columnists and critics
who for years have displayed
the naughty conviction that
they could foretell to a best sup
