| Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Newest Picture to Be Triumph for Norma Shearer-Declar- es 'Snow White' Voted as Best Fidler Film of 1938 By JIMMIE FIDLER HOLLYWOOD — Settia’ Around : Just one subject of conversation on this lot these days —the fine performance Norma Shearer has turned in in “Idiot’s Delight” One after another lot workers who have seen the rough cut assured me that it is her "best picture”— that it will skyrocket her to the top again as star Pardon me great if I do a bit of gloating Not long ago in attempting to analyze the reasons underlying Norma Shearer’s apparent decline in popularity I blamed the lavishness of the productions which have been given her these past five or six I argued that the million years doliar backgrounds the dazzling costumes and the vast mobs of players were qvershadowing Norma Shearer that a valuable personality was being sacrifibed to “sizer I said that she was being placed on the spot because having been identified with lavishness' each of her pictures had to surpass all of its predecessors in swank in order to the public’s expectations and jneet I protested that even the studio publicity stressed the area of her sets rather than her own ability and charm "I got sat on— hard! And now once again cast in a ' picture which she can dominate Norma is proving herself the same compelling personality that the fans loved “Idiot’s Delight” is going to ‘ be her triumph- not the triumph of an art director And I for one am hoping that Metro — and Norma —will realize as they see her fans flock back to the boxoffice that great stars canlt afford to play second fiddle to ft
