By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1935, King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, ... As the annual , acting award draws near, Charles Laughton raises his voice loudly In behalf at the comedians. Why, he demands, aren't they given mo:» serious consideration? ■ "Making people laugh," he says, "is far more difficult than friglitBi ening them or making them cry. “let If an actor per a I sts I long enough In I playing horrible caricatures, he'll % fl eventually find' ■ 1,1 in self with xw tllnidom's high- ] cat award, the / Motion Picture —— Academy's statue : Cha ties Laughton of merit.’’ Mr. Laughton, who got the award last year for "The Private Life of Henry VIII”, yearns to screw his face into something more beneficent than a scowl designed to frighten children. He’ll get his chance at comedy In "Ruggles of Red Gap” and he Is very happy about ft. As he points out, too, nearly all the academy awards in the past have been for heavily dramatic portrayals. Sharing honors with Laughton last year was Katharine Hepburn for her work as the tempestuous actress in "Morning Glory". The year before. Frederic March’s "Dr. Jekyl” and Helen Hayes’ "Madeline Claudette" were winners. Marie Dressier got the statue for "Min and Bill" and Lionel Barrymore scored for the men with "A Free Soul". Before that. Norma Shearer was hailed for “Divorcee" and George Arliss for “Disraeli”. Mary Pickford was chosen the preceding year for "Coquette" and Warner Baxter for "In Old Arizona". The first of the i annua! awards went to Janet Gaynor ■ for "Seventh Heaven" and to Emil Jannings for “Tlie Way of All Flesh” ' and "The Last Command”. I Nearly all character performances I and, says Mr. Laughton, it isn’t fair. ■ ■ ■ The newly-weds, Evelyn Venable and Hal Mohr, will not have the I Fox studio as their professional address. After long association with the company, during which he pboto- ; graphed many of Janet Gaynor’s best films, Mohr Is pulling out to free-lance. Some say he has a directing bug in his bonnet — It’s an old story in Hollywood but i still dramatic. The twist of fate that I puts J. P. McGowan into a bit part in Eddie Sutherland’s picture, "MteI sissippi”. Years ago, McGowan, ' then an ace serial director, gave j Sutherland his first movie chance I doubling for Helen Holmes in ’’The Girl and the Gang”. In those days,

McGowan iind Helts Holmes were hu-land end wife Now she Is romarried to a non-protesstonal and, her film career abandoned. Is living in Canada. It sounds too fantastic but Junior Laemmle has received * good offer from anot h« r ao oinp an y and has, at least, given It consideration. The young boss of Universal says be Is going to Europe but still hangs on In New York, where he I a running u p record telephone bills talking to Carl Laemmle. Jr. th « coast - u ' 3 a pretty general rumor that Junior Is none too pleased with the developments at Universal since he left on his holiday. Worn out as he Is, he may let them lie until his return from Europe, but many of his pals are predicting an early return to the studio. And the offer from the other major company is too nice to laugh off. What film actress will announce romantic plans with an independent producer just as soon as her divorce, due any minute. Is granted? KNICK-KNACKS— The competition for the smiles of the cigaret girl at the Trocadero is TOO funny. After finishing work, she showed up at the King's club the other dawn with Arthur Strauss. And who should walk In but Scenarist Garrett Fort, her steady, with another girl from the Troc. . . . The Charlie Chaplin locks are dyed brown again for his picture. He and Paulette Goddard had the patrons of a local late spot so excited the other evening when they did a rumba with no one else on the dance floor. . . . Personal nomination tor the meanest man in Hollywood: The chap who took Katharine De Mille to Levy’s Tavern for dinner the other evening and ordered a big steak covered with mushrooms, potatoes and Ice-box cake—while she starved on a bowl of tomatoes and two halts at grapefruit. . . . Gene Austin is back at the El Ray club with Candy and Coco and his new songs are tickling the stay-up-laters. . . . Mrs. J. Borden Harriman Is duo here to visit her daughter. Ethel, who is a scenarist at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. . . . Afid it’s pretty swell for the Bob Montgomerys and the Chester Morrises. They’ll spend Christmas on Bob’s Connecticut farm and, from there, the Morrises go on to Europe.

Posed As Gunman Indianapolis, Dec. 17 —<UJ?>—Tile ' Times said today that J. Edward Barce, deputy attorney general of Indiana, posed as a gunman to obtain information which led to the capture in Chicago yesterday of Joseph Burns, escaped Indiana convict. Barce has bi en living with

members of the gang which per-1 petrated the $427,000 Brooklyn j armored car holdup and laid the | plans for Burns’ arrest, the Times said. Barce went to Chicago almost ■ two months ago where he "enlisted” as a gangster. Curt, sketchy reports were received from him by Governor Paul V. McNutt n! frequent intervals, the Times said. Barce listed Burns, Dick Day, paroled Indiana convict, and Tom Touhy of the notorious Touhy gang as ringleaders of the Brooklyn holdup.

His stenographer was present and took a full transcript of testimony. —o DEFENSE ENDS (CONTINUED -COM PAOr INE) lass major witness, Merle N. Walker, defense attorney, asked many hypothetical questions in an effort to uphold his theory of temporary insanity. Dr. Higgins is considered an, authority on mental and nervous diseases. "if a woman had been forced to i undergo sexual abnormalties witli her husband had been threatened’ witli death on several occasions, I would it tend to make her tempor-| arily insane," Walker asked. "Yes, it probably would." the I

physician replied. In other questions, Walker contended that Mrs. Saunders waa not tn her right mind for a period of five months preceding the slaying and directly following her husband's death. o— LOST Automobile wheel and tire near Legion M< inoriul park.
