Fans* Forum FIRST PRIZE LETTER $10.00 I have seen two pictures this week, each of them placing a strong emphasis upon religious values. I intend recommending both pictures not only to the people of my church, but particularly to folk who do not attend church. However, I would like to note the distinction between the two types of pictures. "One Foot in Heaven," in which Fredric March does such a splendid piece of work, was well portrayed. It followed the book very closely, and was an excellent presentation of the ups and downs of a minister's life — as well as that of his long-suffering wife! Unfortunately, it is not the type of picture that will appeal to the average theater-goer and, while I sincerely hope I am wrong, I am afraid will not have the chance it should to get its story across. But the other picture — well, if "Sergeant York" doesn't gross a million dollars and win the coveted "Oscar" for its producer and director — I shall not only be surprised, but disappointed. It has everything : technical perfection, splendid acting, human interest, pathos, humor — and REALITY. Never has a character and a story so "come alive" on the screen before. But the real joy of the picture— if such a constantly remarkable portrayal can be said to have a single high-point — was, in my estimation, Sergeant York's remark to his Captain as they reenacted the scene of the capture : "I killed only that I might save lives." How symbolic this is of all who have sacrificed themselves and others in the interest of human betterment and advancement. This is a day of tremendous challenge and strain, a day when faith is needed; "Sergeant York" will go a long way in pointing the way to that faith for millions. REV. WILLIAM J. LOAR, Spokane, Wash. SECOND PRIZE LETTER $5.00 There is no actress who can equal Bette Davis. Twice winner of the Academy Award, she justifies the faith that the American public bestows on her to give her best to whatever role she portrays. She uses no tricks in creating her characters. Here is a true talent for acting, a talent that can touch every heart in the vast audiences of people who see the pictures in which she stars. This is the true test for any actor or actress. There is a naturalness about her acting that commands deep admiration. She is that character and not Bette Davis enacting a role. YOU AWARD THE "OSCARS" WE AWARD THE DOLLARS Now that the time for handing out Academy Awards is drawing near, S Greenland readers have been writing letters to this Forum and naming their candidates. When the real winners are made known, it will be fun to see how their choices compare with those announced by the Academy. You, too, may play at this game. You may not be able to attend Academy Award dinners or vote on the matter of who really gets an "Oscar," but what's to stop you from naming your choice for "best performance" or "best picture?" Nothing — absolutely nothing ! And doing it in the Forum is even more fun because you're not limited to singing praises — you can give out deserving raspberries, too. And, you know, Screenland also makes Awards. Not "Oscars," to be sure, but Dollars — good American Dollars— $10.00, $5.00 and five awards ,of $1.00 each for the best letters published. Please address your letters to Screenland's Fans' Forum, 45 West 45th Street, New York, N. Y. It is evident that thought and study hav> gone into all of her work. Her techniqu is well-nigh flawless. Her characters lacaffectation. But all show vigor. They ar real. Who can forget the Julie of "Jezebel ? Or the Judith Trahem of "Dark Victory? Or the Leslie Crosby of "The Letter?" O any of the innumerable characters th£ have looked down on us from the scree with the emotional personality and forcefu dynamic charm of Bette Davis? Her acting is indeed material for futur Academy Awards, and it's a two to on chance that her role in "The Little Foxef will net her another gold statuette. But it probably one hundred to one that this lette even wins an honorable mention, much les a prize !
