Popularity Helps
OF course popularity has
a lot to do with winning. It's
human nature to vote for
someone you like, and not to
vote for someone you don't
like. When the Oscar Awards
started 80 years ago-the
name had not yet been in
vented-Charlie Chaplin was
nominated for THE Circus"
1t seems he was not popular
with the voters. Emil jan
nings was the winner for the
best actor. He was in Berlin
the day the award was an
nounced, but Emil had the
oscar with him. He knew in
advance.
Today the names of the
winners are kept more secret
than the H-bomb formula
until those Price Waterhouse
enevolpes are opened. This
way it's more exciting-and
more anguish-for winners
and losers.

Mike Todd, and admiration
was just as fervent for the
way Liz decreed THE show

ported back to finish the film
she was making when Mike
died in a plane crash. But
public opinion turned violent
ly against the brunette beauty
when Eddie Fisher gave up
his marriage with Debbie
Reynolds after falling in love
with Liz. So, another good
actress, Susan Hayward, won
the coveted gold statuette last
year for her portrayal of
Murderess Barbara Graham
in Il Want to Live"
Susan's award might have
been a consolation prize for
the Oscar she had been ex-
pected to win the previous
year for her great acting in
III Cry Tomorrow" This
happens frequently-you get
the Oscar one year for the
one you should have won the
year before. Bette Davis per-
formed magnificently in "Of
Human Bondage" which
made her star overnight.
She was touted as a certain
Oscar winner. but she didn't
win one until the following
year.
Joan Fontaine was never
better than in "Rebecca," a
great movie. But she won the
Oscar for the frightened wife
she portrayed in Suspicion"
though neither the role nor
Joan's playing of it was as
good.
Everyone was so convinced
that Rosalind Russell would
win the award for her per-
formance in Mourning Be-

which. next to best pic
ture, is the evenings most

More Than an Oscar
An Oscar. itself, could
hardly have meant as much
to Writer Fry.
Actually the academy's
thirty-second awards show
was rather lacking in dra-
matte moments. If the Oscars
did not always go as ex-
pected, there seemed to be
acceptance of the fact that
a nomination-one of five
is in iteself a respectable
honor. And a sufficient one.
This correspondent, for
instance, had two fond hopes
which turned into vain ones,
but only one of which proved
even slightly painful.
The first of these was that
Audrey Hepburn would win
the best actress award for her
eXquisitely inward perform
ance in The Nuns Story"
title role. OF the five NOM
mated roles, this one seemed
by far the most elusive and
difficult. Miss Hepburn met
its every delicately shaded
test
Yet, it did not seem un-
just that Simone Signoret
won the Oscar in this cate
CORY.
1t was easier to work up
vehemence about the acad-
emy's other Disappointing
to this corner-vote. This one,
incidentally, involved the
same two pictures, The
Nuns Story" and Room at
the Top" The firmeSt of
pre-show convictions here
was that the years best
screenplay was that for the
former picture written by
Robert Anderson.
The Toughest Job
The transcription of Kath-
ryn Hulme's original to the
screen seemed an almost ave-
Somely more difficult job than
that which earned the Oscar
for England's Neil Peterson.
1t asked Mr.. Anderson to
venture into the most treach-
erous of literary territory,
the complex personality of
an intelligent girl involved
in the clustered life of a
religious order.
He brought it off with a
brilliance that seemed alto
gether OScarworthy.
That it did not win on what
turned out to be the acad-
emy's "Ben-Hur" show did
not seem a too grievouS in
justice. however.
After all. the big writing
injustice which threatened

was halfway out of her seat
clutching her necklace, which
she broke when the name
Loretta Young" was an
nounced. ROE recovered in
one second fiat, and immed-
lately congratulated Loretta.
They have always been good
friends.
The lesson we learned
from this" Rosalind's press
agents told me recently,
was that you cannot win an
award for a mediocre pic
ture." This is only partly
true. Ingrid Bergman won for
"Anasastia" which wasn't too
good a film, but I felt it
marked the reacceptance Of
Ingrid after American con-
demnation of her because of
Paffaire RosSellini.
Oscar IrOnieS
Oscar sometimes has a
laugh up his golden-plated
sleeve. Neither Claudette Col
bert nor Clark Gable wanted
to do 1T Happened One
Night" at Columbia. They
both won Oscars-and new
careers for their perfor-
manceS in that movie. Sam

The seXy blond from Mem

The Memphis PresS-Scimi-

against the "cruel press
agentry of Hollywood" that
would induce hopeful young
actresses to pose nude as an

A minister devoted his en-

her, to the biggest crowd the

Career ZOOmed
There was even contrO-

HOLLYWOOD. - Kirk
Douglas rose from his chair,
acknowledged the applause,
and made an acceptance
speech for winning the Acad-
emy Award for his perform
ance in Champion" as the
Best Actor Of the Year. He
was followed by Stanley
Kramer who said Thank
you" for the Award for the
Best Picture 90 Champion"
Then Arthur Kennedy made
a graceful speech of thanks,
in the Best Supporting Actor
category. Followed by seven
other similar speeches.
The scene was the upstairs
room at Chasen's Restaurant
in Beverly Hills. The year,
1949. The occasion, producer
Kramer's party following the
giving Of the Oscars. But
these 10 Speechmakers did
NOT win. They were merely
mouthing the speeches they
would have delivered if their
names had been in the Price
WaterhouSe envelopes. And
the fact that they did not
win was as big a surprise to
them as to the movietown
correspondents. They were all
red-hot favorites in the early
running.
Good Sports
There was one Champion"
winner-the film editor. He
arrived at the party with his
Oscar and passed it around
the table to be held lovingly
by the losers who were good
sports. In fact, for a month
afterward, whenever the star
OF Champion" answered the
phone. he would state, This
is Kirk Douglas, Academy
Award Loser"
Five are nominated in each
group, as you know, and there
can be only one winner. But
the reasons for losing are
varied and sometimes strange.
For instance, last year Sid
ney POTTER and Tony Curtis
were early favorites for their
performances in The Defiant
Ones" They lost, perhaps
because of the split vote.
Someone said they should
have been a double entry, as
at the race track. If one pays
OF, so does the other. There
was a similar situation this
year with Elizabeth Tayolr
and Katharine Hepburn, both
nominated for Suddenly Last
Summer"

There were several sur
prises for this viewer of last
Monday nights Academy
Awards show and the biggest
of them was Charlton Hes
tons Oscar for the best act
ing of 1859.
1t was not a disappoint-
ment, understand; merely a
surprise. This is what comes
of having the silly notion of
being able to read the Holly
wood mind, most especially
on the subject of acting
prizes for performers in spec
taculars. That none of these
had ever won an award-on
the theory that the star gets
buried in the size of the pro-
duction-did not mean that
none ever would.
So, Chuck HeSton won and
proved his worthiness in the
courage of his acceptance

Linked to

CHICAGO, Feb. 13 (AP).-
A burglars tale of police con-
nivance with the underworld
has led to the arrest and sus-
pension of the chief of detec-
tives in suburban Evanston.
Richard Morrison, %, yes

Wroblewski to an alleged
bribery conspiracy, claiming he
had recorded one such trans
action on tape.
Frank Fertile, first assistant
States attorney, and Paul D
Newey, chief investigator, said
a copy of the recording is in
their possession.
The charge against 1t
Wroblewski, 40, is conspiracy
to commit subornation of per
jury.
Authorities said Morrison
gave this account:
1t. Wtoblewski accepted So.

up last summer on a burglary
charge. The detective CHIEF
agreed to use his influence or
fellow officers to soften testi-
mony against Morrison.
But Morrison was convicted
anyway. When he demanded
the return Of the money, 1t
WroblewSki at first gave him
$4,000. The remaining $500
was turned over to Morrison
sister later.
All of this was denied by 1t
Wroblewski, who was released
on $4,000 bond.
