The current revival of Os-
born's 1888 hit isn't the first
time Moore has played the
role of Cramps, an old man
who refuses to die and con-
tinues to defy Death who
hovers above him In a tree.
The only reason Cramps re-
fuses to come to terms with
Death is that he will not leave
his young grandson to the
mercy of a spinster aunt who
doesn't understand the young

Fourteen years ago Moore
played Cramps in San Fran
cisco while the late Dudley
Digges was playing the same
role in the Broadway company.
When Moore left the Pacific
Coast company and returned
to musical comedy, ne always
harbored in the back Of his
mind the hope to play Cramps
on Broadway one day.
After playing in vaudeville

his first opportunity on Broad

Hoywoods Motion Picture Academy Is Richer by 100000
From NBC and the Annual 'Oscor Dinner Is Served

Whatever else 1853 becomes
famous for-and a man has
every right to quaver at the
possibilities-it will be long re-
membered in the entertain
ment world as the year of the
colossal irony.
This is the year when tele-.
vision, of all things, has es-
tablished itself as the savior
of a long-standing movie in
stitution, of all things. Tele-
vision has removed the threat
of austerity and the specter
of the unbalanced budget from
the immediate future of the
Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences.

academy 100000 for the priv

which has been a yearly radio
feature since 1880.
The irony evolves from the
fact that the academy, as you
undoubtedly have heard, has
faced serious trouble this year.
Several studios have with
drawn their customary f1nan-
cial support Of the awards din
ner. This leaves three major
movie makers-MGM, Para
mount and Goth Century-Fox
to foot the bills.
Some Were Concerned
The three, as has been
pointed out, can afford 1t, but
depending on them to do so
would make the award be-
stowals something other than
an industry-wide affair. This
has aroused not only the fear
that this years banquet might

Each film is the work Of a

and exacts special attention.
In spite of its defects, Lime

more interesting of the two
films. It is the summing up
of Chaplin's career. one of the
most dramatic lives of a too
dramatic century. AS the work
of an authentic genius, expec-
tationS for "Limelight" ran
high; so high that the dis
appointment in the picture is
the greater.
The character Of the film
invited this intensity of antici-
patton. In making it, Chaplin
chose to tell the story of a
great clown who brought the
relief of laughter to an era
with almost nothing left to
laugh about. In his own eyes,
the hero of "Limelight" might
be q composite of all merry
men of his time. To the spec

men of taste and reason have
the choice of only one atti-
tude, good will. Whatever his
private life, or his political
views. which have been the
subject of endless accusation
and attack, he has been the
supreme artist on the screen.
He has been the greatest single
name in entertainment for
decades all the way back to the
beginning of the motion pic
ture as popular art.
AS such, his swan song
called "Limelight" was some
thing to anticipate. That it is
vitiated by it's author-star's
apparent self-consciousness is
something to regret.
Whatever the explanation,
there is a too visible difference
between the Chaplin of then
and now, the uncomfortable
creator of the little tramp"
and the man who acts the de-
feated hero of "Limelight."
This is not a physical differ
ence, a matter of age or ex-
haustion of energy and in
spiration. 1t is more a change
of viewpoint, of perspective
from which to view the world.
Existence Shrinks
In the golden days Of his
great pictures, Chaplin saw
existence as a tragi-comedy on
a universal scale. His little
tramp was everyman fighting
back at the viciSsitudeS that
beset all small human life, and
even some of its more SEEM
