Academy to Shine Light on "Paramount Glow" 2-2-2-2-2-2 Accompanying the drawings, the exhibition will include final set stills, shooting scripts and scenarios as well as quotes from Dreier and video clips from films that he collaborated on with such directors as Dorothy Arzner, Ernst Lubitsch, William Wellman, Mauritz Stiller, Josef von Sternberg and Rouben Mamoulian. The installation also highlights the work of the artists and designers Dreier oversaw, including that of future art directors Roland Anderson, Franz Bachelin, Ernst Fegte, Wiard Ihnen and Boris Leven. "Hans Dreier was not only an art director of international note but a great teacher who guided his team of designers to meet the needs of human condition in film," said former Academy governor and four-time Oscar®nominee Robert Boyle, an art director who began his career in 1933 as a designer in Dreier's art department. Dreier ran the Paramount art department during an era when every studio had an in-house staff of artists and researchers to guarantee the visual authenticity of its productions. "Those of us who had the great fortune of working under his tutelage are forever grateful for his influence on our lives," added Boyle. Dreier received 22 Academy Award nominations between 1929 and 1950 as well as consideration for "The Patriot" in 1928 (when there were no official nominations). He won Oscars®for art direction for "Frenchman's Creek" (1945), "Sunset Blvd." (1950) and "Samson and Delilah" (1950). Born in Germany, Dreier worked as an architect for the German government as well as with the famed UFA studio in Berlin and EFA, Paramount's European affiliate. Arriving in the United States in the 1923, Dreier was part of the first wave of German film artists who immigrated to Hollywood in the 1920s. He spent his career at Paramount Pictures (1923-1950) where he was the supervising art director from 1932 to 1950. Dreier's later set designs included "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943), "The Great Gatsby" (1949) and "A Place in the Sun" (1951). -more-.

THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935
1 to tell the world!* IN 1936 THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935 An annual produced by the combined editorial and statistical facilities of Motion Picture Herald and Motion Picture Daily devoted to the records and ratings of talent in motion pictures of the year. QUIGLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY THE PUBLIC'S MANDATE by MARTIN QUIGLEY 1 The Box Office Check-Up is intended to disclose guidance upon that single question which in the daily operations of the industry over- shadows all others; namely, the relative box office values of types and kinds of pictures and the personnel of production responsible for them. It is the form-sheet of the industry, depending upon past performances for future guidance. Judging what producers, types of pictures and personalities will do in the future must largely depend upon the record. The Box Office Check-Up is the record. Examination of the record this year and every year must inevitably dis- close much information of both arresting interest and also of genuine im- portance to the progress of the motion picture. It proves some conten- tions and disproves others. It is a source of enlightenment, the clarifying rays of which must be depended upon to light the road ahead. ^ Striking is the essential character of those pictures which month in and month out stand at the head of the list of Box Office Cham- pions. Since August, 1934, the following are among the subjects in this classification: "Treasure Island," "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Flirta- tion Walk," "David Copperfield," "Roberta," "Love Me Forever," "Curley
