eyLet Down
Their Hair

HOLLYWOOD, May 20 G.N.S).
This spring will go down in Hol-
lywood history as the time when
two glamour stars really let down
their hair.
First, Marlene Dietrich startled
the film world when she brought
out a musical saw and played it
before a whole set Of people.
Yesterday came the second
shock when Greta Carlo, most re-
firing of all cinema stars, played
baseball with Clarence Brown,
her director in Madame Walew'
ska"
Fellow workers were hardly
able to believe their eyes when
they saw Brown toss baseball to
the dignified Swedish star. But
the next minute they had to open
them a notch wider when Greta
wound up, Dizzy Dean fashion,
and returned the pitch.
This went on for several min
uteS and the actress proved she
has real speed. For, after he was
through catching her pitches,
Brown discovered a blister in his
palm. Had to cover 1t with q
bandage.

Tear Gas Dose
For Stars

HOLLYWOOD, May 20 Q.NS).
A trio of Hollywood's wellknown
stars are thoroughly convinced to-
day that tear-gas is an effective
weapon against bandits.
They became convinced in the
most unpleasant way poss1ble-oy
getting a dose Of 1t themselves.
It all happened on Warner
Brothers set, where Olivia de
Havilland, Bette Davis and Leslie
Howard were doing scenes for the
picture, "It's Love I'm After"
Onto the stage came a studio
pay-master accompanied by a
guard. For protection against
stick-up men, the guard carried a
tear-gas pistol. Director Archie
Mayo, who loves to clown. asked to
look at the weapon. He pointed
it, and accidentally released the
pin that discharges the gas.
Singing fumes poured out onto
the set. Stars, director and crew
started to run. They made for the
door Of the stage and dashed out,
tears streaming from their eyes.
It was almost an hour Later be-
fore property men had blown the
gas away with wind-machineS.
Said embarrassed Direct r
Mayo:
II didn't know It was loaded"

HOLLYWOOD, May 90. - Sir
Harry Lauder, in the famous kiltieS

turned himself into a movie sight

to become a picture actor himself,
and for two hours behaved like q

it is extremely doubtful If any
editor ever raved and ranted
quite in the fashion Of the films
character, but it does induce
plot excitement, under the head
of dramatic license.
The simple story has Gene
Raymond and Ann Sothern, ace
reporters on rival sheets, and
about to be married. But Miss
Sothern's editor thinks so much
Of her ability that he will stop
at nothing to prevent her mar
riage and loss to the paper.
He stages a fake murder at
the altar, Raymond walks out
on her when she goes after the
story, and she pursues him and
a murder case to another town.
There enters drama and mys-
terry.
Trailing q clue, Miss Sothern
is shot, a suspect killed. Ray
mond gets the yarn and writes
it for her, but her boss sends it
to Raymond's paper, losing a
SCOOP to get Raymond in bad.
But the truth comes out and
Raymond sees that the editor
passes out, while romance wins.

my first talking picture. When
the picture was ended, no other
story was in sight for me.
Brock Pemberton wanted me to
go to New York to do a play,
and the studio, thinking the
play would not last more than
a few weeks, gave me a leave of
absence for the duration Of the
play.
The play ran for almost three
years, and it was Personal Ap-
pearance." When the run finally
ended was still under contract
to M-G-M, and here I am, back
home.
Right now, I am resting after
completing my first contract,

William Powell has just come
back from a rest UP at Lake Ar

LuiSe Rainer, 1.-THE Emperor'S
CandleSticks." It's a great spy
story, I hear. Funny thing about
Powell. Every day the tailorS
went up to the mountain resort
a hundred miles from Los An
geles to fit Bills new wardrobe
for the picture.
I saw Greta Garbo on the
lot the other day walking into
Adrian's office. She's making
her next picture, Madame
Walewska," in which Napoleon
makes love to her.
Speaking of Garbo, I wan
dered out onto the back lot a
few days ago and saw a huge
building made completely out
of black cloth. I peeked in
and saw a huge palace and q
Polish village covered with
snow. I was puzzled about the
millions Of yards Of black cloth
covering it until a watchman
told me that night must fall
in the daytime for Garbo.
Garbo never works at night,
so for her night scenes they
cover the big outdoor sets to
make it look like night.
The only other recent news
I have heard was about Wally
Beery. He was doing a scene
in "The Old Soak" and the
scene was perfect except for
smoke curling up from Beery'S

to empty his lighted pipe before
sticking it in his pocket-and it
burned q hole in his pants.
How's that for a hot one!

CHICAGO WAITS
WHEELER BLAST

CHICAGO, Sept. II QN.S0.
With the speech Of Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler of Montana re-
garded as the highlight, Chicago
today planned a full Constitution
Day celebration.
Senator Wheeler, bitter oppo-
nent of President Roosevelt's court
bill was to address a huge rally
at the Chicago stadium tonight.
1t was generally believed his talk
would prove an even greater sensa-
ton than the attack on the Presi-
dent and his new appointee to the
Supreme Court, Justice Hugo l..
Black, which Gen. Hugh s. john
son made yesterday.
General Johnson, former ad-
ministrator of the defunct NRA,
spoke before the convention of the
National Hard Wood Lumber AS
ISOLATION. A few hours later Dean
Roscoe Pound, of the Harvard Law
School, addressed the Chicago Bar
Association with an appeal to up
hold the Constitution and a warn
ing against Capitalization of power
in the Federal Government.
Taking his theme from the cele-
bration to be held today, General
johnson cracked out at his former
boss" with the assertion:
IT fear the principal object"
he said, "of the New Deal is
to give us a new form of gov
eminent. not within the Consti-
tuition, but in spite Of it.
under the seduction of bally-
hoo, bribery and charm we are

At the White House today, the
Presidents closest advisers are
saying privately that there Is
not one chance in hundred"
that Black will resign from the
bench-even if the President
asked him to.
Secondly, they are agreed that
the uproar over the charges that
the first New Deal appointee to
the court is not-as they first
hoped-"a tempest in a teapot"
Today'S developments, the first
furious attacks in the weekly
Catholic, Jewish and colored racial
publications, the receipt of tele-
grams from the grass-rootS, all
created the doleful thought that
the Khan issue has been thrust
deep into the immediate political
future of the New Deal.
UP TO BLACK
But White House circles were
equally clear that the New Deal
justice must make the next move
himself.
THE President can no more
expect Mr.. Justice Black to heed
a plea for his resignation than
he could expect Chief Justice
Hughes. or Justices Butler or
McReynolds to step down from
the bench" said one White
House advisor. It would be
highly improper for HIM even
to summon any justice of the
court to the White House for
an accounting.
"Of course, the President
nominated Black and he didn't
nominate the others. But that
doesn't make any difference.
Black is sworn in, hes just as
much a member as Hughes.
Anyone who knows Hugo Black
knows perfectly well that he
thinks he's entitled to sit on
the bench. that he believes he'll
be a good justice and--further-
more-that he intends to sit
there until he reaches retire
ment age. And no power in the
United States, White House or
