‘Marty,’ Movie Planned as Tax Loss,
Wins Academy Award; Oscars Also
To Anna Magnani, Ernest Borgnine
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD, UP)—'“Marty,” the
movie originally made as a tax
loss to offset big grosses of two
Burt Lancaster westerns, emerged j
Thursday as the Oscar-winning
picture.
It also won the top male acting
Academy Award Wednesday night
for Ernest Borgnine, an actor who
only earned $2,300 jn his profes
sion three years ago. He is worth
at least $150,000 a picture with
Oscar behind him.
Anna Magnani, the fiery Italian, 1
now in Rome, won the top femi- j
nine Oscar for her performance!
in “The Rose Tattoo.”
Anna Roused from Sleep
Roused from her sleep to be j
given the news, she shouted: “It’s
great ... I feel just as if I’d built
the Colosseum—it’s all an earth
quake inside.”
The supporting actor award
went to Jack Lemmon, the comic
Ensign Pulver of “Mister Rob
erts.” Ovan Fleet, the madam
mother of James Dean in “East of
Eden,” was named the best sup
porting actress.
'Marty' Best Screen Play
Besides earning best picture and
best actor awards, “Marty” also
won an Oscar for the best screen
play for Playwright Paddy Cha
yefsky. He wrote the tender story
of a lonely butcher first as a tele
vision play.
“Marty” was produced by the
team of Harold Hecht and screen
star . Burt Lancaster.
Advertising Credited
Lancaster gave much of the
credit for “Marty’s” success to
newspaper advertising. He said
the film cost only $343,000 to
make but a half million dollars
was spent on an advertising cam
paign. much of it in newspapers
seen by Academy voters.
Hollywood thought the two
partners were slightly daft when
they announced last year they in
tended to make a movie about a
homely butcher and a wallflower
school teacher—with no big star
names in the cast. At the time
Lancaster said, “We’re making it
because it’s something we want
to make.”
Planned as Tax Loss
He added even if the picture
didn’t earn a cent it would be
profitable as a tax loss against big
grosses of “Vera Cruz” and “Apa
che,” putting the producers in a
lower tax bracket.
But “Marty” turned out to be a
sleeper that won the Cannes Film
Festival and New York Film Crit
ics Awards before getting Wed
nesday night’s Oscar.
As for financial returns on the
expected tax loss, Lancaster dis
closed: “So far the picture has
grossed two million dollars and
I hasn’t been put in general release
| yet.”
$10,000 Party
Hecht-Lancaster tossed a $10,
000 party at the Beverly Hills
Hotel after the awards.
Lancaster said the party had
been planned—not because he and
his partner were confident but to
celebrate “Marty”—“win, lose or
draw.”
“Of course,” he added, “it could
easily have been a $10,000 wake
had we lost.”
The star-studded ceremonies at
Hollywood’s Pantages Theater
were brilliantly emceed by come
dian Jerry Lewis. Two stars—
Maurice Chevalier and Grace
Kelly—stole some of the spotlight
from the winners.
The straw-hatted, 68-year-old
Frenchman proved he still has
plenty of charm. It was Miss
Kelly’s last Hollywood appear
ance before she leaves for Monaco
and marriage to Prince Rainier.

NEW YORK BANK
MISLAYS NOTE
WORTH $1,000,000
NEW YORK, (tf)—Insurance
companies have paid a million
dollars to the Chase Manhattan
ibank to make up for its misplaced
million-dollar U.S. Treasury note.
A Chase Manhattan official said
Wednesday the bank had entered
a claim for the loss and that 18
insurance companies, acting as
surety, came up with the money.
The bank spokesman said “the
insurance companies eventually
can get back their money from the
government.’’
The Treasury note was first
missed March 6. The spokesman
said a search through many mil
lions of sheets of paper will con
tinue until the note—which theor
etically is negotiable—is found.
Presbyterian Missions
Get Newr Cessna Plane
And 65-Foot Motor Ship
SEATTLE, W—'The Rev. Wil
I liam Wartes of Seattle, flying mis
sionary in the far north for the
Presbyterian Church, will soon
have a new plane to carry on his
tar-flung work.
The Rev. Dr. J. Earl Jackman,
New York, director of national
missions work in Alaska, an
nounced Wednesday that arrange
ments have been completed for
the purchase of a new Cessna
170-B. It will replace the plane
destroyed recently when another
plane crashed into it while it was
being warmed up at Barrow.
The cost of the new aircraft,
about $12,000, is expected to be
covered by insurance.
Dr. Jackman, who left for a
month’s visit to the Alaska mis
sionary field, also announced
plans are being drawn for a new
missionary motor ship.
It will be a diesel-powered 65
foot craft and will cost about $75,
000, he said.
It will replace a ship which has
been in service many years on the
missionary run from Metlakatla
to Skagway.
