306 THE TALKING PICTURE Walt Disney won the Academy cartoon award in 1937 with The Old Mill, in which he first made use of his "multiplane" camera, a device by which his drawings take on a startlingly three-dimensional character. The cartoon had no plot in the ordinary sense of the word, but the charm of its details and the beauty of the film as a whole made it irresistible. In The Life of Emile Zola, Paul Muni again played a biographical role in a story that stuck largely to facts and was devoid of the usual "love interest." Again, as in the Pasteur picture, the experiment was successful. Muni's make-up as Zola was amazingly like the novelist's portraits, and his performance was brilliant, rising to memorable heights in the trial scene. Here are Muni and Gloria Holden.
