now are not spent necessarily
at the expense of some other

World War II, modern living

and Brando's nomination as
Antony represents a scaling up
OF the characters size that
might well startle Shakespeare.
The point might be made, of
course, that If the Bard could
call a play about Brutus by the
title Julius Caesar" Holly
wood is entitled to q little
license Of its own.
This prophets guess is that
the Academy voters will be
concerned with no academic
bubbles at election time. They
will vote for Holden, far and
away the most solid and
rapidly rising of the younger
males in the movies. If his
"Stalag" performance alone Is
not enough to win for him-as
the rules require-his others
in THE Moon Is Blue" and
Fort Bravo" offer supporting
evidence Of his excellence.
AS the virtually perfect
compromise candidate, Holden
wins this departments guess.
however he may fare in the
actual balloting.
Winning Girl? Kerr?
Nominees for the best star
ing actress performance are
every bit as fresh as the males.
and a bit more fair. They are
Audrey Hepburn. Roman
Holiday: Deborah Kerr.
Eternity: Maggie MacNa-
mara. 1.-THE Moon Is Blue; Ava
Gardner. "Mogambo" and
Leslie Caron. "Lili."
This departments cautious
money rides on Miss Kerr. al
though again 1t is disputed
that hers is the star female
performance in the film. She
is favored over Miss Hepburn
for the reason that Hollywood,
and not it alone, is prone to
view a dramatic performance
as more difficult than a radi-
ant impersonation of a mere
fairy-tale princess.
1t is in this group. however.
that Academy voters might
give Hollywood the shock Of
its life. The dangerous"
candidate in more ways than
one is small. pert Miss Nc
Namara who voiced all those
startling words like virgin"
in THE Moon Is Blue" Con-
sentative Hollywood was
stunned when she was nomi-
mated for a performance that
was denied the industry's seal.
1t might drop dead were she
to win. The chance of both is
slight.

It's Tougher Job This Year for the Acodemys Voters
And the Critics Who Try to Predict Formers Choices

Some 1900 members Of the

spend the next few weeks i'm
mersed in one of Hollywood's
most solemn yearly rites. Clad
in silks and minks, instead OF
the old-faShioned sackcloth

dict: Who did what best?
Or, more simply, who de-
serves this years Academy
Awards?
The multitude Of decisions
involved at prize time is never
easy. This year. it could prove
to be more difficult than ever.
For one thing, the old solid
ground (well. relatively solid
on which Hollywood stood has
disappeared. It's confidence,
born of the industry's long un-
challenged place as the most
popular of the popular arts.
has been grievously shaken.
There has been a revolution
and while the movies have sur
vived. their smugness has been
shot away along with the old
sure. easy profits.
Nominations Boffling
The effect of the change is
CONSPICUOUS in the nominations
for the Oscars Of 1858. The old
idols, for which it was al
ways safe If not intelligent to
vote. have fallen. Look for
them among the best-actor and

these poor Academy electors.
In pretty much the same
plight is the film critic whose
favorite pastime down the
years has been predicting the
winners-with a high average
of accuracy. The safe thing
to do under the circumstances
would be just to wait. But
1t would not be to the critics
honor. These cannot refuse to
play simply because the game
has become tougher.
Best Film Easiest
Moreover. the paramount
category-that Of the years

invitingly easy. Five films, as
the rules require. have been
nominated: Prom Here to
Eternity" Julius Caesar"
Roman Holiday" THE Robe"

It is this cinema assayer's
conjecture that only two of
these are actually in the run

Tered, You're very attractive"
Jack, who was so years old
two weeks ago, doesn't know
the secret of his charm for the
fair sex, but he has me en-
cf1anted and I think I know
why. He's been happily mar
ried to Mary Livingstone for
81 years, but there's still that
old CLINT in his eye, and he's
just as easygoing in real life
as on radio and the TV
screens. You relax. you shine,
SO you think he's wonderful.

looking young is to be working

Burns looks, and Bing Crosby

show. Everybody looks like a

I asked Jack how he got
stuck with being 80. "It
started years and years ago,
when I was SO. I decided to
stay SO for several years.
Some years. later I became 81.
Then 38. I've been 80 for five
or six years and I don't think
I'll get any older. There's
something about 40 that's a
little discouraging."
Jack has starred on radio
for % years, but he's about
ready to quit the kilocycles.
II started in May, 1892" he
recalled. But I don't know
about next season. I'm not
crazy about radio now and I'd
like to quit. If I do, I'll step
up my televiSion shows to two

On the Air

There is a brand-new motion
picture showing on theater
screens which has television to
thank for its high second place
in Variety's weekly box-offlce
count. In fact, if it were not
for television the film probably
would not have been made at
all.
1t is. of course. THE Long,
Long Trailer" starring Lucille
Ball and Desi ArnaZ. A few
short years ago you could have
had 8-to-5 odds against n had
you wanted to bet that Miss
Ball in q few short years
would be considered a prize
property by MGM.
Then Miss Ball and televi-
sion met at a cocktail party
somewhere and the sizZlingest
romance of the midcentury
was on. Miss Ball and tele-
vision turned out to be made
for each other. For several
years now, THE Long, Long
Trailer" has had a long, long
trailer running on television-
a show called II Love Lucy"
That things have turned out
this way may have. come as a
surprise to some of the vet
eran movie-makers, but they
now can look upon TV as
friend rather than foe. The
crowds flocking to the Column
bia here and to other theaters
elsewhere to see the large,
economy-siZe. Technicolor Lu-
ellie Ball are ample proof of
that.
