Ex-Pudding Man Wins Oscar

Hollywood Oscar winners this year included Alan Jay Lerner '40, a former Hasty Pudding member and playwright. He won his award for writing the story and screen play of the top picture of the year, "An American in Paris."

As an undergraduate, Lerner wrote two Pudding productions, "So Proudly We Hall" in 1938, and "Fair Enough" in 1939. "Seeing Red," this year's show, was dedicated to him.
