HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 11.-
(R'-Hollywood paid its respects
today to two of its old timers who
have triumphed over the younger
generation of actors and actresses.'
To Marie Dressler and Lionel
Barrymore have gone the awards
of the academy of motion picture
arts and sciences for. the year's
best performance of actor and act-
ress in the films.
The academy, composed of 700
leaders of the film ,industry, held
its annual banquet Tuesday night
at which the coveted honors were
awarded. Vice President Charles
Curtis was the guest speaker and
among the 2,000 who attended were
many of America's leading news-
paper publishers 'who are here to
attend the annual convention of
the American Newspaper Publish-
ers' association.
It was for her performance inI
"Min and Bill" that Miss Dressler'
was given the award, while Barry-
more' was honored -for his part in
"A Free Soul."
In addition the academy gave
eight other honors. The picture,
"Cimarron," a story of the Okla-
homa land rush days by Edna Fer-
ber, claimed three of them-it was
adjudged the best produced, best
adapted and best directed from an
artistic standpoint of any picture
during the year.
"Skippy," directed by Norman
Taurog, was acclaimed the best-
directed picture. "Dawn Patrol,"
written by John Monk Saunders,
was voted the best original motion
picture story. Best photography
went to "Tabu;," a So-9th Sea is-
land picture directed by the late
F. W. Murnau and filmed by Floyd
Crosby. Paramount Studio's iwork
in sound reproductioti was voted
the best.
Dr. Etienne Gilson Will Speak'
on Philosophical Idea of
God in Series.
Universally considered the, out-
standing authority on the philiso-
phical thought of the middle ages,
Dr. Etienne Gilson, professor of
mediaeval philosophy at the uni-
versity of Paris, is to discuss the
influence of Chrisianity on the
philisophical idea of God in a ser-
ies of three lectures here next week,
it was announced yesterday.
' Selecting as his topics "The
Christian God," "The Christian
World," and "The Christian Provi-
dence," Dr. Gilson will speak at
4:15 o'clock November 18, 19. and 20
in Lydia Mendelssohn theatre.
The prominent philosopher has
held the chair of mediaeval philos-
ophy at the Sorbonne, Paris, since
the world war, a position held dur-
ing the thirteenth century by St.
Thomas Aquinas. In addition he
was special lecturer at Harvard
University from 1926 to 1929, which,
beside his many years in the Unit-
ed States and in Canada, make him
eminently competent to lecture in
English.
In 1929 he resigned his position
at Harvard to accept the post of
director of the philosophy depart-
ment at Toronto University, devot-
ing three months in each year to
this work.
Dr. Gilson has recently been ap-
pointed Gifford lecturer at the Un-
versity . of Aberdeen, Scotland,
which position was created by the
late Lord Gifford to bring to Aber-
deen each year noted scholars in
philosophy and religion.
Next week's lectures are to cover
some of the main points which Dr.
Gilson proposes to develop in his
Gifford. lectures.
