		Among the guests was the victim of the tragedy, a bright young girl named Jane Darwell, 19 years of age, and the man in the case, Edwin Sowerby, a miner, 27 years of age.
		When Miss Darwell collapsed, Sowerby was seen attempting to cut his own throat with a razor, but the men present closed with him, and took the razor, one very much like the Army pattern, from his grasp, before he had inflicted what was more than superficial injuries to himself.
		He heard Miss Darwell exclaim “Oh!” and as he turned his face towards her, his face was so bespattered with blood that for a moment or so he could not understand what had happened.

		As Jane Darwell, the actress began a 50-year screen career in 1914 in ROSE OF THE RANCHO, played in many silent films, and successfully overcame the "sound barrier" in 1930.
		Jane's skill was such that she could essay unsympathetic roles in THE OX-BOW INDICENT or CAGED as easily as the heartrending part of Ma Joad in John Ford's THE GRAPES OF WRATH, which won her that Oscar.
		As with Hattie McDaniel, Jane Darwell's image was the eternal mother (or grandmother) and like Hattie, she died childless.

		However, her time came in 1940 when John Ford filmed John Steinbeck’s best-seller "The Grapes of Wrath" and cast Darwell as Ma Joad, the strong, loving center of a migrant Oklahoma family coming west to California at the time of the 1930s Dust Bowl.
		Darwell won her only Oscar in the Best Supporting Actress category, stealing the picture from star Henry Fonda.

		Fonda's gradual transformation from mild-mannered farm boy to committed political activist culminates in a memorable curtain speech that's only one of the highlights of a masterful job of acting; indeed, his Tom Joad is among the most vividly drawn characters in Hollywood history.
		Supporting player Jane Darwell won an Oscar for her turn as the strong-willed matriarch of the Joad clan, and Charlie Grapewin, Russell Simpson, John Carradine, John Qualen, and Eddie Quillan also turn in top-drawer performances.

		Shirley Temple, the darling child star of the 1930s takes center stage as the daughter of a housemaid, whose husband, a fighter pilot, was killed in the war.
		The animosity between the crotchety old man and his nephew is reciprocated in kind, and extends to the couple's daughter Joy (Jane Withers), a miserable spoiled brat, but Shirley has found a soft spot in the old man's heart, much to the chagrin of his vulturous relatives.
		Shirley's flagship song highlights this sugary tale, but the actress is upstaged by the tantrums of costar Jane Withers, who would go on to rival popularity.

		There is everybody's brief joy upon first seeing Bakersfield's rich plantations - everybody's except Ma Joad's (Jane Darwell's), that is, who alone knows that Grandma (Zeffie Tilbury) died in her arms before they even started to cross the Californian desert the previous night.
		There is the privately-run labor camps' utter desolation, complete with violent guards, exploitative wages, lack of food and unsanitary conditions; contrasted with the relative security and more humane conditions of the camps run by the State.
		Ma Joad's (Jane Darwell) speech at the end of the film takes away the desperation seen throughout the film.

	New York State Writers Institute - Grapes of Wrath Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Throughout the film, it is the independents like John Carradine’s itinerant preacher Casey and the half-mad fugitive Muley (John Qualen) who seem lost, desperate for companionship, while Jane Darwell and Russell Simpson as Ma and Pa Joad exhale a sense of calm and confidence.
		As Ma affirms at the end of the film, in a scene added by Zanuck to underline the moral and blunt the harsh dying fall of the novel, no force can destroy the will of people who are determined to live.
		Jane Darwell is perhaps too plump, matriarchal, too Irish for her role, and Ford’s first choice, Beulah Bondi, has a greater physical claim to the part with her gaunt, stringy resilience, but so effective is Ford’s use of the actress that one can no longer imagine anyone else playing it.
