Eleanor Powell, 1935's Outstanding Film 'Find' Shirley Temple, MacLaglen, Beery, Luise Rainer and Others Draw High Praise. Although the past year has brough out less names as far as movies are concerned, titan others previous, those who were introduced have gone over with a louder “bang" than “baby" stars of former seasons. For exceptional performances during the past movie season, we wish to

praise: Eleanor Powell—The outstanding singing, dancing, acting star of the season. Her performance in “Broadway Melody of 1936” has not been topped. Luise Hanier Personable miss, who. in one picture with William Powell, “Escapade” jumped to star-

dom. You'll see her again in “The Great Ziegfeld " Merle Ooeron One of filmdom’3 most capable actresses, got her first real chance in "The Dark Angel,” made most of it. Margaret Sullavan For her work in "The Good Fairy’’ with Herbert Marshall.

Eleanor Powell

Charles Laughton— ln a dramatic acting class by himself with the three best performances of 1935 in "Mutiny on the Bounty,” “Les Miserables” and “Ruggles of Red Gap.” | Edward Arnold As "Diamond Jim" and the inspector in “Crime 1 and Punishment,” he became one of the screen’s best character players. ! Shirley Temple—Because she has remained unspoiled, gave her peak performance in her last picture "The Littlest Rebel.” Buddy and Xilma Ebsen Even j more personable than the AstaireRogers team, they capped the dancing couples on the movie lists today, with their acting and dancing in “Broadway Melody.” Fred Allen—Another radio comedian who went to town in his first picture, “Thanks a Million,” pulled it out of the fire. Will Rogers—ln his last year on earth, gave us a series of beautiful comedies to remember him. William Powell As the “Thin Man” lie started the ball rolling, held up Luise Ranier and Rosalind Russell for their first movie leads. Victor McLaglen—For his work in “The Informer.” One of the year’s best roles. , Robert Young—Because he appeared in “off-play” roles in “Red iJalute” and “The Bridge Comes Home” and out-starred the stars. Jjoan Davis—Who sang “You Tell ’tm I Stutter,” in “Millions in the 4ir,” didn’t even have her name on fne cast list, but presented most jhumorous skit in the picture. Arthur Treacher and Eric Blorc— Two best screen butlers. Mr. Blore branching out as a trained seal owner in "I Dream Too Much,” is funnier still. Sir Seymour Hicks—For his one and only, “Scrooge.” Melvyn Douglas—For his iole in "Mary Burns, Fugitive,” which not only carried along Sylvia Sidney, but kept the picture from dropping into ■ file fwaste basket.

Geo. Cohan Finest Artist Here in 1935 Wins Plaudits for Best Stage Performance of Local Season. The legitimate theater “road,” at least as far as Indianapolis is concerned, took a decided turn for the good during 1935. Indianapolis hasn’t had so crowded a season for a decade as the one this fall and winter. The credit for the year's best stage performance as seen here must go to George M. Cohan for his very convincing role in “Ah, Wilderness.” Eva LeGallienne is close behind with her emotional “L’Aiglon.” The best semi-classical and popular music came with the stage production of “Roberta”; the most pointed drama of social conditions, “Tobacco Road”; the best satire, “What a Relief,” the Princeton Triangle Club show; with “The Taming

of the Shrew.” starring Alfred Lunt and Lynne Fontanne, as the most amusing comedy along classical lines. Most raucous laughter was provoked by “Three Men on a Horse”; heaviest drama, “The Old Maid,” Pulitzer prize play; most interesting costume-historical play, Helen Hayes’ “Mary of Scotland.” A special treat was the recent appearance here of Katharine Cornell in "Romeo and Juliet” with Maurice Evans, in which Ralph Richardson surprisingly grabbed the show. The Ballet Russe was seen in six ballets of unusual color and grace; grand opera was revived by Mrs. Nancy Martens, presented in three San Carlo Company productions, "Aida,” “Lohengrin” and “Madame Butterfly.” Also appeared traditional such as "Blossom Time,” “Student Prince,” Earl Carroll's "Vanities” and a revival of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Mrs. Martens’ single artist concerts were topped by Nino Martini. On the amateur and local stand-
