BEST PERFORMANCES
TRADE PAPER’S CHOICE Five directors, three players and three scenarists at the Paramount studios have been selected by “Film Mercury,” Hollywood trade publication, among those giving the best performances in their fields during the first six months of the year.
The list of outstanding direction merits include Josef von Sternberg on “An American Tragedy,” Norman Taurog on “Skippy,” Dorothy Arzner on “Honour Among Lovers” and George Cukor and Cyril Gardner on “The Royal Family of Broadway.” Among those honoured for outstanding scenarios are Sam Mintz for “Skippy,” Eve Unsell for “Up Pops the Devil” and Bartlett Cormack for “The Front Page,” for which work he was loaned to Caddo Productions. Fredric March’s work in “The Royal Family of Broadway,” Jackie Cooper in “Skippy,” and Claudette Colbert’s in “Honour Among Lovers,” gave them places on the performance honour list.
Al Jolson slipped Into Hollywood without anyone noticing, and will stage his musical play, “Wonder Bar.”
Multicolour is being used on the Vanderbilt South Seas scientific expedition and in Major Court Treatt’s “Mother Africa.”
