The work was adapted from an
original story by Richard Schayer
with dialogue by AL Boasberg and
was directed by Edward Sedgwick,
responsible for such comedy hits as
"Slide Kelly Slide" West Point"
and Spite Marriage
Information is that the picture
reveals the inside workings Of sound
studios together with technical de-
tails connected with the making of
talking pictures never before re-
vealed to the public.
The film is particularly adapted
to do this inasmuch as the plot de-
picts the adventure of a Kansas
beauty prize winner who storms the
Hollywood portals in an endeavor to
become a star, and almost the en-
tire locale of the picture is laid
within the Culver City plant of the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, the
scenes shifting from the general
casting Office to the various sound
stages where easily recognized play
ers and directors are seen and heard
at work.
The picture is said to contain a
number of elaborate revue scenes
staged by Sammy Lee, former Zieg-
field dance director, as well as a
comic opera sequence in which Bus
ter Keaton and TriXie Friganza
play opposite each other as king
and queen, and sing a hilarious duet
in which the only lyrics are the
four words, "Oh King, Oh Queen"
the rest of the song being interpret
ed by gestures and facial express
sions.
Other songs heard are a solo by

into which Primo de Rivera, his
arch enemy, forced him.
Many Oppose Alfonso
While the bulk Of the demon

nevertheless there are many
prominent royalists who support
Guerra's plea for continuation Of
the monarchy but opposition to
the rule of the present king.
It was reported Alfonso might
abdicate in favor of his son, Don
Juan. This would have the effect
Of appeasing the large political
element which opposes the pres
ent king, and at the same time
keep the royalist ranks intact and
ensure preservation Of the Bour-
bon dynasty.
1t is felt, however, that a crisis
is unlikely before the end Of the

thereof could prove it was legally
acquired. 1t is q radical depar-
ture from the common law.
Attorney General MitcheiI's OBJ
jections to the proposed law were
succinctly stated.
Referring to the scare pro-
vision, he said.
The effect (of this1 would be
to subject the dwellings, Of persons
residing in the District Of Colum-
bia to more drastic searches than
Congress has yet authorized in the
United States, Alaska, and some
Of the insuIar possessions. I do
not believe this discrimination
would be justified.
I'm my judgment, effort to i'm
prove the enforcement Of national
prohibition may better be ex-
pended, at least for the present, Id
other directions than in an at
tempt to make more drastic the
provisions for searching private
dwellinga-an attempt which
would arouse controversy, with
doubtful results"
Concerning the placing Of the
burden of liquor proof on the
owner, he said:
"A serious constitutional ques-
ton arises as to the validity Of
q provision which attempts to
put the Government in an advan-
tageous position as q result Of a
seizure in violation Of constitu-
tional guarantees, but aside from
that, and as matter Of prin-
ciple, the Government, by viola
ting the constitutional rights of
the citizen, should net be placed
in q better position than it would
otherwise be in.
In the long run, nothing will
be gained for the cause of law
enforcement by such means"
In two significant paragraphs,
Attorney General Mitchell thus
reveals, partially at least, the
philosophy of his enforcement
ideas that resort to still further
drastic law will only provide con-
troversy and further hostility,
and that Government agents must
not themselves violate the law in
attempting to enforce 1t.
Mitchell's letter probably spells
the death Of the Howell bill, and
quite possibly other legislation
which the lmoderates in Congress
consider fanatical.

Pratt Will Not Take
Action on Tipping"
Charges by Carter

Major Henry G.. Pratt, super
intendent of police, today an
Swered the charges of Public
Printer George H. Carter, to the
effect that he was tipping off"
gamblers and bootleggerS through
his policy Of picketing suspected
establishments, when he sent a
record of arrests of two men
about whom Carter complained
to United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover.
The communication was sent
without comment. In one case
the police records show that one
man had been arrested ten diff
ferent times since 1918 on charges
Of violating the liquor and gaming
laws.
Got Sixty Days
+ In this case the offender was
sentenced to so days in jail, and
was fined 500 on another charge
-Four of the cases show forfeitureS
of collateral, one was nolle
pressed, a fine Of $50 or SO days
was imposed in another, and
the mans personal bond taken
in the remainder.
In the case of the second man
q record Of 10 arrests is shown.
In seven Of the cases no papers
were issued at Police Court, col
lateral was forfeited in three, a
sentence of 80 days was imposed,
personal bonds were taken In
two cases, two cases were dis
missed, one case was nolle pressed,
and one is still pending in Crimi-
nal Court.
Pratt indicated he will continue
his policy of picketing suspicious
Adjustments, declaring that this
is one Of the most powerful
weapons the police department
has at its command.
May Be Called
He said the department has
been doing this for number of
years, and scouts the idea that
such action serves as tip-off.
He refused to discuss any Of
the charges which Carter has
filed against him. 1t is expected
that Pratt will be called before
the Board Of Commissioners and
asked for an explanation. This,
however, has not happened at
noon today.
In q letter to Pratt, Carter
openly charged that official with
either being inefficient or insin-
cere in his administration of the
Police Department. In the same
letter he also excoriated Capt.
Martin Reilly and Detective Box
well Of the Sixth precinct.

The storm first broke when
Cater accused the depart.
ment Of atipping off"
gamblers and boOtleggers by
stationing pickets before
places where such activities
were supposed to be going on.
He further charged that

gave viOIatOrs of the law
ample warning Of impending
raids and permitted the
operators to take TO cover.

Major Pratt, early in February
Carter is said to have included
