has developed into a warm and pulsating actress.
A pair of medals to Nelson Eddy and Michael Bartlett because they are probably the year's biggest finds and because the screen can well do with more such voices.
Kay Francis gets the bed of tiger lilies because she is the most luscious brunette on the screen, because she has maintained a steady box-office draught without an outstanding part or picture, and because she takes whatever the studio gives her without complaining.
A medal to Richard Arlen because he is the oldest friend I have in Hollywood, because he, like Gable, hasn't changed a particle since I first knew him, because he could be a fine light comedian, because he always gives an honest, sincere performance and because he has one of the finest wives any man was ever blessed with.
Janet Gaynor gets the bed of anemones because they are as reserved as she and because she has finally come to the realization that the kind of parts that made her famous are best suited to her and because she has abandoned the idea of playing sophisticated roles — on the screen.

Spencer Tracy and Paul Muni have earned a medal apiece because, to my mind, they are still the two outstanding actors in the country, both on the stage and screen.
To Myrna Loy goes the whole bed of orchids because she is my prime favorite on the screen and because she has more glamor than any star since Constance Bennett first crossed our enraptured vision.
A medal to Robert Montgomery because I don't think there is anyone in pictures who can play light, insouciant parts as well as he.
Joan Crawford gets the patch of gardenias because that is her favorite flower, because she is unceasing in her efforts to improve herself, and because despite her (Continued on page 92)
Ginger Rogers won't pose even for posies.
Eddie Horton — this Bird gets a Medal.
Edward Arnold richly deserves his honors.
Rochelle Hudson is on the list. Hooray!
Turn on the cheers, here's Kay Francis.
Frank Albertson. He belongs at our party.
Come what may, Ida Lupino just smiles.
Eric Linden, all set to receive a Medal.
Joan Bennett. Say it with flowers to her.
Tom Brown seems very happy about it all.
One guess! What does Ruth Chatterton get?
