256 THE TALKING PICTURE About as handsome a trio as you'd care to meet were Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, and Miriam Hopkins, as they appeared in the sophisticated comedy, Trouble in Paradise. Ernst Lubitsch directed it for Paramount in 1932. BELOW Founded in 1927, with its membership comprising producers, directors, actors, writers, technicians, and executives, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presents series of annual awards for distinguished achievement in the motion-picture field. The bronze statuettes, or "Oscars," as they are irreverently called, that symbolize the awards are highly prized not only in themselves, but also because an Oscar is a very handy thing to have around when discussing salaries and contracts. This picture, taken at the Academy dinner of 1932, shows the three major award winners of the year. At the left is Frank Borzage, who won the prize for the best direction for Bad Girl. Helen Hayes won the award for the best performance by an actress for The Sin of MadeIon Claudet, while Fredric March received the corresponding award for actors for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. At the time this picture was taken, Miss Hayes was working in A Farewell to Arms, under Borzage's direction.
