The Rev. Mir. Dodd officiates at lots of reel marriages, but doesn't perform many actual marriages for screen people. The reason, he ex- plains little wryly, is that divorc- ed people can't be married in his church, and there are nightly few in Hollywood who haven't been die vorced. In the early days, though, he did officiate ct the Jack Pick ford and the William s. Hart mar riages.
 On the screen he isn't so parti- cular. Plays clergymen of all de- nominations. Once, cast as an Episcopalian, he was supposed to

marry Q couple, one of whom had been divorced earlier in the picture. He corrected that by changing the role to that of Q clergyman of url- named faith, and he cites the in. cident as an example of the iln- portance of technical accuracy in matter of movie religion.
 Few screen players are among his parishioners, but he gets in Q good deal of practical and spiritual guid- ance while working at the stus dios. Actors and actresses take him aside and tell him their troubles. Wife Is Ex.ShowglEl.
 A few months ago the Rev. Mir. Rubel-5h feet tall and weighing 250 pounds in stole, cassock, and surplice-was assigned to Grace parish in dlendora, near Hollywood. His wife is the former Dorothy Deuel, Q Broadway show-girl. George Arliss introduced them at an Actors Guild tea at the Little Church Around the Corner. They have Q couple of children now, and she types his sermons.
 The minister who has figured most prominently in talkietown Is the Rev. Neal Dodd, another Epis- copalian,. pastor of St. Mary of the Angels Church. Plump, pleasant, and middle-aged, he came here in 1918 from Iowa.
 Since then he has played almost countless preacher roles, and has acted as technical adviser on Q good many religious scenes.

Mary Kornman is also feat- ured in the picture, and Q large and talented supporting cast is Tn evidence.

 Guffy Coal Act
(By The Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, May 18-Di- viding six to three, the Supreme Court struck down the Guffey Coal Act on the same grounds which invalidated the MIRA, as unconstitutional and an invasion of States powers.
 The majority, through Justice Sutherland, held that the govern !ncnt is without power to regu- late the hours and wages in the mining industry as in the manu- featuring industry. Dissenters were Justices Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo.
 The court has not ruled on the constitutionality of the price fix ing provision of the law, which was designed to regulate the Bi- coal industry, but said these are so related to the labor provisions that it may fall later.
 The majority opinion held that the excise tax of fifteen percent of the soft coal production with provisions for refunding ninety percent, was an adherence of the terms of the law, and was clear ly not tax, but a penalty Sen otor Guffey of Pennsylvania, was among the crowded audience.
