N'OTTrRET? 2S. 1037 ft MILE ZOLA'S LIFE THEME OF DRAMATIC HIT OPENING TODAY Paul Muni, whoaa very ehartctar lea t Ion eeeroa to surpass In brilliance his previous one, will be shown at the New Craterian theatre staring today In "The Ule of Emits Zola." It will play three days only. Eraile Zola's genius was more than Illumination for the life of hts times. His bitterly realistic novels not only slashed through the hypoc risies of current literature and founded a new school of fiction, but also worked profound changes In the French republic as well. Zola attacked abuses In the army, among the rich, and the debasement of the peasantry. Most noteworthy of his accomplishments however, was his bitter fight against the executives, high and low. who through trumped up charges, railroaded Captain Alfred Dreyfus to Devil's Island. Zola hod nothing In his early life to Indicate his later fame. After years of poverty, he rose to sudden riches with his famous story, Nana." Success followed success ,and Zola became a millionaire. Once a lean starveling, he was trans formed Into & complacent gourmet, satisfied with hts lot. Then Captain Dreyfus was accused of betraying military secrets and condemned to the penal colony. Zola awoke from his lethargy and sprang to the dis honored officer's defense. In bis world-famous newspaper J'Accuse probably one of the most terrible denunciations ever published In any language Zola attacked the army and government for allowing the Dreyfus -conviction to stand. He was brought to trial on a charge of criminal libel. Denied mention ox any pertinent facts In the case. Zola's position was hopeless and speedy conviction followed. But all that was like smoke to an old fire-horse. The spirit rose higher and stronger. Zola 'fled to England to continue his campaign. And finally the barriers crumbled as Zola pressed his case. Victory re sulted Dreyfus' exoneration and restoration to rank. Zola's trium phant return to Prance. It is from this story that the picture was made. Muni's portrayal of Zola has already been credited with outshining his award-winning Louis Pasteur role. It will be cur ious to see what the academy will do about the award this year knowing that Muni's Pasteur won him last year's prize and then hav ing an even greater characterisation this year In Zola. A strong supporting cast was chosen for the picture, with Joseph Schlldkraut'a part of Dreyfus rank ing next to Muni's Zola In the eyes of the nation's critics. 4 CORVALUS. Ore., Nov. 37.
