Doubts Film

for Theater
MeIvyn Douglas Points Out
Few Desert Hollywood
for Broadway.

HOLLYWOOD March r. CNEA)
Comes now Mr. Melvyn Douglas
of Georgia, Broadway and Hollywood
to impugn the artistic integrity of
numerous but unnamed performers
of the screen. Mr.. Douglas:
You hear lot of movie people
going around talking about the
desh old thea-tuh, and how they
miss 1t, and how they would like
TO go back and do something fine
IN it.
But somehow they just don't get
around to going back. They keep
on wallowing in their fine old nos
talgia. New York managers beg
them TO come East for plays, but
when all is said and done the ideal
lists are still in Hollywood and still
talking about the deah old thea tub.
Wait Until They Slip
when a player starts slipping
in Hollywood and needs the pres
tige of Broadway appearance
then he will return, if he can, and
do play"
Mr.. Douglas own conscience in
these matters probably is spick and
span, because he has two-pictures-
a-year, Acknowledgment contract
with Columbia, and the arrange
sment provides enough money and
leaves enough time for doing things
on Broadway. What he did last
season on Broadway was to appear
In one play and direct three.
He didn't make a nickel, after
everything was totaled up. Two
plays were undistinguished; the
third, which he staged, had the
critics bowling hallelujahs. That
was Sean O'Casey's Within the
Gates" 1t didn't do very well at
the box office, and not even a ban
ming by Boston could save it.
1t Was Brave, Eloquent
1t was brave and eloquent al
legory, though, and full enough of
heavy moods and vague symbolisnas
10 qualify as an artistic triumph.
There's good deal of doubt in
Douglas mind as to whether actors.
as a lot, are half the artists people
believe them to be.
"A painter, writer, or composer
really suffers when his work isn't
Just right he observed. But an
actors sense of values is likely TO
be mostly commercial. How many
actors would turn down a prominent
role in trashy picture or play that
is clearly marked for financial sue
cess? Very few"
AS one who has helped cast some
plays in New York and vainly plead
ed for the return of talent gone
Hollywood, Douglas is quite con-
cerned about the future of the ,e-
Ultimate stage. AS rapidly as new
talent is developed, it deserts to the
Gold Coast. Broadway is just
training school for talkietown.
Executives Take Heed
Only hope he finds for the thea
ter is that picture executives them
selves are realizing its Importance,
putting money into its productions
and encouraging their performers
to go East occasionally and refresh
themselves in applause and the
glow of footlights.
Douglas is tall, blond, "a and
not too handsome In IS years he
has been in some important plays.
and his recent pictures (see She
Married Her Boss'D have won him

Helen Gahagan, almost equally
prominent as an actress.

sake, which is seldom mentioned
seriously in Hollywood there are

JOINT MOVE SEEN
FOR AMENDMENT
Green Seeks Farm Views in
Effort to Change Con-
Stitution.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Joint farmer-labor movement for
q constitutional amendment to permit
such measures as A. A. A. and N. r.
A. was seen as a possibility today by
William Green. president Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
Green told reporters he intends to
sound out heads Of the principal farm
organizations soon as to their views
He placed consideration Of an amend
ment at the top Of the agenda for the
Federation Executive Councils meet
ing in Miami, Fla, starting Janu-
ary Is.
Convention Asks Draft.
The federation's Atlantic City con-
vention last Fall instructed the coun-
Gil to draft and have introduced such
an amendment as it thought proper
The principal question before the
council, Green said, is whether the
amendment should specifically au-
thorize Congress to enact social JUS
tice' legislation or attempt to curtail
the Supreme Courts powers to declare
legislation unconstitutional.
The council. Green said, would take
care not to propose any amendment
that could be used to limit labor's
rights.
Whether the council would approve
immediate introduction of an amend.
ment caused considerable speculation
The convention resolution specified
that an amendment should be drafted
and introduced, but did not say when
Bloc Opposes Amendment.
1t is known that one substantiol
bloc. headed by William Hutcheson
president Of the carpenters, opposes an
amendment. Frank Duffy, Hutche-
sons chief lieutenant, succeeded at
the Atlantic City convention in having
the amendment resolution tabled. only
to have it reconsidered at the in
siStence of David Dubrinsky, president
of the Ladies Garment Workers; Sid
ney Hillman, president of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, and John
L. Lewis, president Of the United Mine
Workers.
These three leaders also are among
the principal exponents of industrial
unionism. Whether the fight of the
Industrial unioniSts against those who
favor organization by craft would have
any bearing on the situation was un-
certain.
