Deep down in its handsomely
decorated soul MY Man Godfrey" may
conceal some manner Of very profound
philosophy about the true merits OF
the waits, strays and castaways Of
modern America, the slightly clab-
bered quality of many who are sup
posed to be the cream of its society.

she likes him, helps him keep the job

strong points in this picture, however,

IL the principal feminine role
for the Theater Guild in the
L 4 new comedy, And Stars
Remain" which comes to the Ma
tional next week, few to New York
from Hollywood to begin rehearsals
in this play. She had made her
screen debut in H. Rider Haggard's
"She" in 1895. She has sung prin-
cipal grand opera roles in Europe,
has appeared all over the continent
in concert, but her most important
efforts have been on the legitimate
stage. This was her first and Is still
her greatest ambition.
She appeared in a school play
when she was only years old and
even at that age decided she wanted
to become an actress. Her parents
noticed this inclination and would
not take her to see plays, but they did
take her to operas when she attained
more maturity. They wanted her to
become q singer and even after she
had attained great success on the
stage they adhered to that determi-
nation.
When Miss Gahagan was only a
school girl of Is the United States
entered the World War and the
young student took an enthusiastic
part, soon becoming known as the
Girl Orator of Fifth Avenue. so sue
cessful were her stirring speeches to
speed the sale of bonds.
Her first professional role came to
her in 1922 in play called MAN
haitian" She was engaged by John
Cromwell, but she thought 1t was to
be Just another amateur production.
Imagine her amazement when she
found that she was to get $75 week.
With her first weeks salary she
bought her mother q pin of sap
phires and diamonds.
Two days after she opened in this
play she had another surprise when

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, October L.
It isn't true that all the world loves a
lover.
Movie lovers, for example, frequently
have q hard time Of it when their
celluloid romancing comes to the scis-
sored hand of the censor in many
foreign countries. New restrictions on
cinema kissing issued in Japan empha-
sized the fact.
Authorities announced that killing

be banned hereafter from Japanese
theater screens.
Not only kissing but any form OF
tempestuous alteration is distasteful
to the Japanese, American censorship
experts said. They explained that
public displays of affection are con-
sidered bad taste, and hence the regu-
lation film "clinch" offends japanese

In China, however. kissing Is per-
mitted to remain in released picture,
even though the Chinese themselves
don't indulge in osculation. But even
there, studio foreign experts said, the
lover isn't popular-he's ridiculous.

power or by converting it into cleo

The Supreme Court decision
stopped there. 1t did not go into
the question of the Governments
right to set up a model community
in the Tennessee Valley and 60 into
the business of distributing electric
energy at retail or doing other
things for the betterment Of the
lives of the residents which have
been announced as parts of the

The Governments case as pre-
sented to the Court omitted all
reference to the latter items. They
likely will be brought before the
Court in another action. What
the decision will be remains for the
future to disclose. So far as the
IVA decision went it was clearly
in accord with Constitutional pre-
cedents.
1t seems clear from the language
of the Courts decision that the
Federal Government cannot go into
the power business as a primary OBJ
%jective and So compete with pri-
vately owned utilities. 1t can
only sell power whose production
is Incidental to the carrying out of
another purpose, so far as the Court
ruling goes.
1t is difficult to see how tn.
utilities can be seriously harmed,
especially as they are probably in
the best position of anyone to buy
and distribute the power generated
at Federal dams, without going to
the capital expense of building the
dams themselves.

TODAY AND
TOMORROW
FRANK PARKER STockBRIDGE

Every once in a while I feel like
waving the American flag and CIV
ing three cheers for Uncle Sam,
What set me off this time is the
last two or three decisions of thu
Supreme Court, especially the ont
in which the Court reasserted the
right of the press to free expression
without restraint by any govern
mental authority.
OF course, the press is responsible
if it prints libels or scurrilous mat
ter of any kind; but the Court
pointed out again that no power
exists, either in Congress or the
states, to say in advance to any
newspaper "You may not print
that"
1t seems to me hat the very
roots of all our liberties are bound
up in this liberty of the press. The
first thing a dictator does is tic
suppress or regulate the newspa-
pers. We will never lose our lib
critics as Americans so long as any
body can set up a printing pres:
and tell the people the truth about
what is going on.
RAD rights
l agree with my friend Davie
Lawrence that radio broadcastint
should be as free as the newspape,
is. As things stand now, there i
a Federal commission in Washing
ton which has power to say wha'
may and may not be broadcast.
don't know that that power ha
ever been abused, but it ought no
to exist.
Radio, like the press, ought to b
permitted to say anything it want
to say-and should be punished, lik
the press, if it uses indecent or pro
fame language or utters a libel re
fleeing falsely against the charac
ter of any person.

from a friend I had last heard of in
Chicago, telling me about his new
job in Texas.
There isn't any other country in
the world where people have SO
much freedom to move around as
they please. There are no barriers
to travel or employment from one
end of the country to the other.
Nobody has to have a passport OF
a police permit to go 5000 miles,
if he wants to; nobody care where
he comes from if he knows his job.
Those conditions exist nowhere
else in the world. In Europe a man
may live for years in one house and
work at one job; but when he
moves into the house next door OF
changes his employment, he has to
report to the police, or be fined if
he doesn't.

THE IVA DECISION

Everybody seems to be satisfied
with the ruling Of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
Tennessee Valley Authority case.
1t reaffirmed that the Federal
Government has full control over
navigable streams and that this
control involves the right to build
dams and otherwise improve the
channels of such streams to make
navigation safer or easier. And
that, as the Court put it, the Gov
eminent then becomes the owner of
the power generated by the waters
flowing over the dams. Being the

TALK

Discussion of Republican Presi-
dental candidates is on every
tongue in Washington. Governor
Landon's apparent popular lead
steadily increases. Whether he i.
bated by his friends and his oppon-
too far out in front is being de-
ents. 1t is pointed out that four
years ago, in February, Franklin D
Roosevelt was away out in front of
all the contenders for the Demo-
cratic nomination., and he was the
party's nominee. 1t is doubtful,
however whether Governor Landon
has at his command the well-or-
gained machinery for gathering
delegates which Mr.. Roosevelt had
at that time.
Four out of five of the profess
sional political observers here are
now saying that the Republican
nominee will be ''either Landon or
a dark horse" Talk about a
dark horse usually brings up the
suggestion of Justice Roberts of
the Supreme Court. Senator Van
denberg seems to be emerging from
the ark horse class into that of a
contender.
