244 THE TALKING PICTURE The Lunts were not tne only distinguished newcomers from the theater in 1931. Irving Thalberg, one of the M-G-M bosses, finally induced Helen Hayes to give the screen a chance. Her first picture, The Sin of Made! on Claudet, whose screen play was written by her husband, Charles MacArthur, established her as one of the screen's finest actresses and won her the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award for the best performance of the year. In this scene we have Jean Hersholt, Jackie Darrow, Marie Prevost, and Miss Hayes. BELOW Helen Hayes' second film, Arrowsmith, established her even more firmly as a star on screen as well as on stage. Samuel Goldwyn produced this excellent picturization of Sinclair Lewis' novel, and John Ford did a superb job of directing. United Artists released the film in 1931.
