Fredric March won the Academy trophy for the best performance of the year by a male actor for his dual portrayal of "Dr. Jekyli and Mr. Hyde”. Fredric March will oe seen in three important Paramount pictures during the next twelve months, “The Sign of the Cross”, "Lives of a Bengal Lancer” and "All the Queen s Men”.
Helen Hayes was voted as having given the best performance of the year by a feminine player in "The Sin of Madelon Claudet”. Miss Hayes will be seen shortly in Paramount’s "A Farewell to Arms”.
Frank Borzage was awarded the prize for the best directorial achievement of the year in "Bad Girl”. Frank Borzage’s latest production is Paramount’s "A Farewell to Arms”.
Paramount was awarded the trophy for the best sound recording for the second successive -year. Paramount supremacy in sound is unquestioned, and is of obvious importance, for after all, the industry is making sound pictures.
Paramount won the award for photography for the third consecutive year, through Leo Carmes’ work on "Shanghai Express”. Paramount superiority in vivid, dramatic photography will continue, because Paramount has the finest cameramen, laboratory facilities and technical equipment.

WATCH GEORGE RAFT
NEW SCREEN THRILL CAST IN MANY 1933 PRODUCTIONS.
SOME indication of the confidence that our production executives have in George Raft is demonstrated in the fact that so far he has been cast in no less than six pictures for release in the first three quarters of the 1933 schedule. His first big role is in "Night After Night”, and those who have seen the picture claim his performance as a positive hit. Later we will see him in "The Under Gover Man”, "If I Had a Million", "Pick-Up”, “Fly On” and "Bodyguard”.
At the present time, despite the fact that he has played minor roles in only a couple of pictures. George Raft is receiving more fan mail than any other four male stars at the Paramount studios.
IT’S IN THE AIR
“ P ARAMOUNT FOR 1933 ”.
