THE STORY OFLOUIS PASTEUR (1935) 287 In 1927 Garbo had played Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, with John Gilbert as her leading man— a silent picture, of course, and entitled Love. Eight years later she remade Anna Karenina, this time with Fredric March as Vronsky. Clarence Brown directed this version for M-G-M. BELOW What is a "character actor"? He is an actor who :an step completely out of his own personality to Decome, for the moment, a completely different per son. He may be good or bad. He may be a ham, or he may be a great actor. Paul Muni is a character actor, and a first-rate one. In 1935 he made what was, at the time, a daring experiment— The Story of Louis Pasteur, the life of the great scientist with no concessions to the supposedly indispensable "love interest." The picture won him an Academy award and embarked him on a series of biographical pictures. This scene, with Dickie Moore, will give you an idea of his realistic make-up.
