268 THE TALKING PICTURE Walt Disney won another Academy award in 1933 with Three Little Pigs, still one of the most popular cartoon shorts ever made. It is a source of regret that the third little pig cannot be shown here. He is busy elsewhere, building a wolf-proof house. Speaking of love interest, Marlene Dietrich played in an adaptation of Sudermann's The Song of Songs, under Rouben Mamoulian's direction. Others in the cast were Brian Aherne, playing his first picture lead, and Alison Skipworth, shown here. A life-size statue of the star, in the nude, was featured in the picture, and reproductions of it were displayed in a great many theaters showing the film. Still, the picture was not successful.
