As the great scientist, Louis Pasteur, Paul Muni gives by far his most impressive performance. Above, a character study; right, a close-up. Josephine Hutchinson in her quietly convincing characterization of Mme. Pasteur is pictured with Mr. Muni at upper right in a scene from the big new film.

Honoring Paul Muni for his masterly portrayal of "Louis Pasteur"
HE Life of Louis Pasteur" is at once the most daring and dignified of all the current screen dramas. We have had many movie biographies of great men, but usually they have glorified men of action, of adventure or romance. Now comes this superb characterization of a great scientist, a worker in the cause of curing humanity of its ills; and we find that here is powerful drama far exceeding in suspense and human appeal all past cinema biographies. The wide interest inspired by "The Life of Louis Pasteur" is perhaps
chiefly due to the star, Paul Muni, who portrays his great role with deep sympathy and intellectual understanding. We have bowed to Muni before as a fine actor and a conscientious artist; but for the first time the burning sincerity of his performance enables us to forget his technique and stage training; here, Muni becomes heart and soul the character he sets out to create; he is the heroically noble Pasteur. You will not believe until you yourself have seen it, how exciting this picture, dramatizing the life of a great scientist, can be.
