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.

Hilarious Comedy Coming to Craterian Wednesday
It's the awful truth. This Is how
a caricaturist sees the cast of the
wildly hilarious comedy, "The Awful
Truth." which comes to the New
Craterian theatre Wednesday for a
four-day showing. In the center,
Irene Dunne and Cary Grant: on the
left, Alexander D'Arcy, and behind
Grant Is Cecil Cunningham. The
pup on the floor Is 'AsUV of "Thin
Man" fame. Who the fellow Is on
the right with the back of nls head
showing Is a mystery. Maybe that's
why he's there. But It all fits In
with the rittous spirit that prevails
throughout the plcUire, one of the
funniest films to ever be screened.
