Uncle Carl

In London, the British Faculty of Arts, esthetic organization which gives money to young artists and recently conducted a campaign against "disfigurement of the English countryside," decided that All Quiet on the Western Front (already the choice of the U. S. Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences) was the best picture of 1930, awarded a gold medal to Producer Carl ("Uncle Carl") Laemmle, president of Universal.
