BOLLYWOOD. — (FP) —Annual
Prizes of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts & Sciences, each year
more farcical than the year before,
have come and gone once again.
This year the really bie names of
the industry fhat attended the com-
pany Union's blowout could be
counted on two hands. And while
Several of the choices found public
favor, choice of The Great Ziesfeld
as best production of the year, and
Academy President Frank Capra as
leadine director, as well as a num-
ber of the minor prizes, bore out
More than ever the completely
Politicstidden calibre of awards. . .
Awards banquet was peopled with
=S Many outside notables as pos-
Sible, in order to minimize the snub
Hollyweod’s acters, writers and
directors save it. But the bright
remarks of Victor MeLaslen and
such showed up the farce for what
it was. McLaslen proved he never
should have sotten the prize last
year. that his great performance in
‘The Informer had been due to the
direction of John Ford. not in the
slightest to himself. _.. Los Angeles
iocal of the Newspaper Guild has
decided that Hollywood correspond-
ents are eligible for membership.
This gives the means of bringing

PAPlayers In Anti-War Play,
‘Bury The. Dead’ April 2 - 3

“Of all the signs of a post-war j
recrudescence of youth and of the
spirit and the morale of youth, none
is as outstanding as the brilliant
comprehension of the simple funda-
mental philosophy of the joy of
‘Just living’ as depicted in Irwin
Shaw's ‘Bury the Dead,’*’ says the
McGill Daily, commenting on the
Montreal production of the play.

“Here at last is youth .. . crying
its right to live a normal life... .
the realization that life itself is the
primary function ... . and that any
condition which deprives man of
this right is the only cause worth
fighting against vehemently
portrayed in the toneless monotones

- of a society gone wild,” the
university publication comments
further.

At the Little theatre, Friday and
Saturday, April 2, 3, the Prosress-

ive Arts Piayers of Vancouver who

stirred this city with their produc-
tion of “Waiting For Lefty” last
year, hope to repeat their triumph
with “Bury The Dead.” And re-
peat this triumph they will if six
months of rehearsal under the com-
petent direction of youthful Harry
Lewis and Katherine Bsler, brilliant
satire, spectacular staging, have
anything to do with it.

Tickets at 75 and 50 cents (re-
served) are now on sale at the
M. A. Kelly Piano House or can be
obtained direct from PAP head-
quarters, 775 East Hastings street.
There are also unreserved seats at
29 cents.

Monday, April 5, a special benefit
performance for the League Against
War and Pascism will be given for
which tickets are obtainable at
League offices, 615 West Hastings
street.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., March

Jems, was made George Pay,
CGF standard bearer for Lincoln
county in the last provincial and

future,” he stated.

NEW YORE CITY, March 18.—
(PP)—Bieht thousand dollars was
collected to start provisionine a food
ship to Spain at a banquet given
by The Nation, liberal weekly, in
honor of Andre Malraux, famous
French author commanding a
Squadron of international fliers in
the service of the Spanish govern-

Malraux deeply moved an audi-
ence by his account of bravery and
suffering in Spain. One story he
told was of the distribution of toys
Sent to the children of Madrid from
other countries. Only toys left un-
touched by the children were those
of airplanes. Even boys, said Mal-

raux, kept away from them with a.

sort of mystic horror.

“This little sroup of abandoned
toys forever Separates us from the
IWwascists,” he added.

AN OLD FRIEND—THE STEEL
STROKE.

In 1905, after the Britain and
America match, Robert Stewart,
Allan Hynd and Alfred Jordan pro-
ceeded to New York from Boston.
Mr. Melvin Brown took them to the
Eden Museum when on Twenty-
third street to see ‘‘Ajeeb,’”” the
automaton. Jordan was the first
to play. The ‘figure’? took the
black pieces, put on a book line of
the fife and a draw resulted. Hynd
then took up the cudjels and put on
the eross. Another draw was the
result. It was now Stewart’s turn
and he insisted on having the black
pieces. The game proceeded as
follows:

(a) 26-23 prevents 11-16 and avoids
the stroke.

(b) At this point the “fieure’’ took
a long time. The attendant told
Stewart he must move more quickly.
Stewart replied that it was the
“Figure’s’”” turn to move. ‘The at-
tendant then wound up the bie
main spring and eventually (c) the
“igure” completed the steel stroke.
