IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) 271 iws-j Richard Barthelmess forsook his customary romantic roles to play in a Western melodrama about Indians and the wrongs done them by unscrupulous government agents, Massacre. He is shown here in the trial scene, with Dudley Digges as the prosecutor. The girl is Ann Dvorak. BELOW In 1934 came the immortal It Happened One Niglit, directed by Frank Capra for Columbia. Its two ro mantic stars, Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, turned in comic performances that won them Academy awards for the best performances by actress and actor. The picture itself won the award as the outstanding production of the year; Capra won the award for his direction; and Robert Riskin won the award for the year's best screen play. Here are Miss Colbert and Gable in the famous auto-camp scene.
