JUDY GARLAND WILL GET

AN ACADEMY AWARD FOR "A STAR IS BORN"

May I predict that Judy Garland will get an Academy Award for the beat acting for a woman star for 1954? I was at the private showing of "A Star Is Born" before the most lavish premiere in the history of Hollywood. The theatre was only a quarter full. I sat alone in the circle looking down on the vast screen on which in colour-cinemascope, the remake of the classic of 1987 was projected.

"A Star Is Born" is a skizular triumph for the actress-singer who was washed-up' in, Hollywood four years ago, when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios can. celled her contract and Judy's future was far from rosy.
