Revolution
Changed
Litvak
Actor Turned to
Directing by
Soviets.

A NAToLE L1TvAK likes Hollywood
to work in, but not to live in.
The Russian director, having passed
seven or eight months in the monot-
onously golden West, found himself
thirsting for the life of great cities
especially of great cities that have
what he calls real climate" with four
seasons. Therefore, with his bride,
Miriam Hopkins, he came by airplane
to New York at the earliest possible
moment. passed a few days wandering
about the streets breathing the cold
air of early winter, then took the
Normandie to Europe. There he will
visit Paris and London, both large
cities and both pleasantly chilly at
this time of year.
Litvak has just completed the di-
rection of the Warner Brothers screen
version of "Tovarich," with Claudette
Colbert and Charles Boyer in the roles
played on the local stage by Marta
Abba and John Halliday. Arriving
in New York. he found another Of his
directorial works, "Mayerling," in its
tenth week or so at the Filmarte
Theater.
After ALL" he explained before his
visit to Filmarte, I'VE made Mayer
ling two years ago. That is q long
time in motion pictures nowadays.
Will it worry me when I see it? I
wonder!"
But after seeing it he seemed wor-
ried no more. though he would not
say in so many words that he had
found it entire satisfactory. For
this 35-year-old director is a modest
man, even shy. which may have some
thing to do with his failure to find
an earthly paradise in Hollywood.
He speaks English fluently, but
with a strong accent So far as he
can tell at present, his career hence
forth will be American, but behind
him lies an exceptionally cosmopoli-
tan career as actor and director.
Born in Kiev in 1902. he enrolled in
the Imperial Dramatic Academy at
Petrograd (now Leningrad) and, as
Thespian apprentice, lived through
the revolution. But he doesn't like
to talk about that. His position re-
sembles that of Able Sleeves, who,
when asked what he had done dur
ing the French reign Of terror, re-
piled: II survived"
A NYWAY, the Soviets made him
- a film director, his first venture
being a Nordkino production entitled
Gas translated by Litvak) Hearts
and Dollars" After that he emi-
grated to Berlin and the Ufa studios,
and so, like the star Of empire, took
his way westward to Paris and Pathe
and to London and Gaumont- British.
It was in the Gaumont period that
he directed BE Mine Tonight" which
made Jan Kiepura a name" Back
in Paris he concentrated on a series
Of films that included Calais Dover" "
Sleeping Car" "Escadrille" and
"Mayerling." Then came his first
American assignment, THE Woman
Love-" with Paul Mum and Miss
HOPKINS.
As to "Tovarich," that play was
a favorite OF his long before Warner
Bros. signed him to direct the film

OF the glamour girls OF today are be
coming more handsome, with each
new union.
Not only does the feminine star shop
for good looks, she shes away from
the once-prevalent policy of selecting
q husband from within acting ranks
1t is true, perhaps, that half a dozen
professional marriages are working out
successfully (although no sane gambler
would venture more than a plugged
dollar on that premse). but those
cornblnat tions in which the husband
and wife don't cross paths in studio
and home are conceded to have a far
greater chance for longevity-to say
nothing of fewer bruised features and
feelings.
Joan Crawford and Franchot Tone
work in the same studio. sometimes
IN the same picture, and while they've
piled up couple of anniversaries and
have successfully squelched numerous
reports of separation, Joan has drifted
backward in popularity since mar
rage. And Franchot hasn't nearly
attained the box Office popularity or
studio rating his ability so richly de-
serves. Gene Raymond hasn't made
a picture since his spectacular traffic
blocking wedding to jeanette Mac
Donald last spring. There are rumors
afoot that he'll retire and become an
actors agent. The more recent mar
rlage OF Buddy Rogers to Mary Pick
ford cannot be listed in the all-acting
sweepstakes because Mary is of the
boards as a star and doubts are eX-
pressed by friends that she ever again
will appear before the camera.
An 1NQUISITION into the private
lives of top-line stars or featured
actresses who have married off the

evidence that all the handsome men
IN the world aren't in the movies.

than have Congress tell you what you would say, if you had a chance to speak. Some of us don't like gos- sip or hearsay. anyhow. We want to hear you tell us your story. The word of Congress about you doesn't satisfy us.
 Amendment, Natural Process
 Now the strange thing about all this is that you aren't asked to speak. Why not? I'm inclined to believe it's because you'll say No; that you guess government is pow erful enough already, and that what powers you have kept to date you think you'd better keep a while longer.
 But it is odd, isn't it, that you aren't asked? The Constitution is clear enough on that matter. It provides, in a separate article all its own, how 1t can be amended, what should be done when a gov- ernment, greedy for more power, wants you to surrender the rights you didn't choose to give up when you agreed to the Constitution.
 The Constitution says with ref erence to the method generally used, perhaps a score of times, that to amend the Constitution both branches of Congress must make the exact proposal by a two-thirds vote and then have three -fourths of the states ratify what Congress did. Y
 You might have said originally that you wouldn't give up any more of your rights under any circum- stances; that you agreed to surren- der part of your personal rights only because it seemed necessary In order to establish the federal gov ernment, and that you'd never yield any further rights. But you did in fact say that you would give up more rights if two-thirds of Con-

 The supreme court forbade the destruction of your. rights. Only yow could do that, and you hadn't been given a chance to agree.
 Regarding perhaps dozen moro laws, Congress was again told to re- pair its ways and not to be so free with your rights. Your protection on each occasion was the supreme court, sometimes by bare majority. Urges voters to Speak
