Show - - i. ; Am. Fork News Academy Aces Film "Mary Of Scotland" Ffobnlily the sumptuous drama "Maxy of Scotland" is the only photoplay ever produced about which it can be boasted that the writer, the director, and both stars are Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences award winners. Dudley Nichols, writer and John Ford, director won the top awards granted by the Academy in 1935 for their work on RKO's sensa- tional film, "The Informer.1' Katherine Hepburn won the coveted honor for her performance in "Morning Glory," and Fredric March, her co-star in ."Mary of Scotland," won the highest acting honors for his histronic excellence 'in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." It was quite by chance that these I four persons of Academy award ' fame were brought together by RKO Radio in "Mary of Scotland," because be-cause the personnel for these four important posts were selected before the Academy bestowed its 1935 honors hon-ors on Nichols and Ford. Due to a lack of harmony between be-tween the Academy and the Screen. Writers' guild, of which he, is a member, Nichols refused to accept the Academy honor, but, of course, that doesn't detract from the high esteem for his work. The supporting cast in the pic-turization pic-turization of Maxwell Anderson's play is one of the strongest and best balanced ever assembled for a motion picture and includes such premier performers as Florence El-dridge, El-dridge, Douglas Walton, John Car-radine, Car-radine, Ian Keith, Frieda Inescort, Alan Mowbray, Donald Crisp, Moroni Mo-roni Olsen, Robert Barrat, William Stack, Ralph Forbes, Gavin Muir, and others.
