is author of If I Were You" He is
more than author, really, for 1t is
Mr.. Levy's practice also to direct his
own plays, and especially to direct
Miss Cummings, who, In private life,
is Mrs Levy.
II Were YOU will exhibit Miss
Cummings in role more in keeping
with the things you have seen her
IN on the screen. 1t is as modern as
she is. which is quite modern If you
are up on your acquaintance with the
petite Seattle miss who took Holly
wood by storm just couple of years
ago.
MARY DEEs, the more golden than
platinum blond who doubled for
Jean Harlow In the unfinished scenes
OF Saratoga" after the sudden death
OF Miss Harlow, does not like to talk
about the incident which propelled
her into the limelight and a movie
contract after five years of hard work
IN Hollywood. 1t was break, good in
way. but sad in way, for Miss Har-
low and Miss Dees were good friends.
Miss Dees admits as much and would
like to leave it that way
She will talk about anything else,
however. Not only will but did at a
party given in her honor yesterday at
the Washington by Warner Brothers
at whose Earle Theater she will ap-
pear today
One OF the things Miss Dees likes
TO talk about is Hollywood. 1t is not
heartbreak headquarters to her. It
took her long time to win fortunes

1t, she is grateful, and she has no re-
grets for the years when she could
not get a break in pictures because
she looked like Jean Harlow.
Miss Dees has a number of CON-
spicuous charms, not the least of
which by any means is her ready ad-
mission that she still has a great deal
to learn about acting. Her present
road tour, ranging from one-night to
one-Week stands, is not the most con-
venient journey she ever has made.
but she thinks it will be among the
most profitable.
Working with Monte Blue, who goes
back in pictures so far that he is on
washington Film Society programs,
she is learning great deal She
wants to learn all there is, especially
how to go before an audience with
out having her knees knock together.
1t is hard to believe that an audience
could shake the poise Of Miss Dees,
but she says that is what audiences do.

Proposed Court Reform

Court docket. Suspicion became
strong that what the President real
ly wanted was a new Court. Analy-
sis of the bill left only such con-
clusion. Little by little, but in q
short time, the detectives as origi-
nally stated were shown up as mere
camoufiage and. by the Presidents
own admission, ii became known
that what was wanted was an Ad-
ninistration Court, not a Supreme
Court. The chaff-has been blown
away. We now deal frankly with the
proposition that the President con-
siders the present membership of
the Supreme Court a multiplying fac
tor in the proposed advance of Am
erica. The plan he proposed would
give him more than executive power
and take from the members Of the
new Bench the free exercise of their

ut is my deep conviction that the
President, sincere and earnest as he
may be, has not sensed the feeling of
our people on this subject. No mat
ter how they may delight In pros
perity and progress; no matter whe-
ther they may have been care-free or
anxious. during different admins
trations, as their government exper-
imented in their interest, 1t is my
belief they have worked and waited
patiently and confidently, sustained
In the thought that their govern
ment would always be safe while
there was an independent judiciary.
If everything else went haywire,
they still had the Supreme Court
1.-The gist of the opposition to this
bill is that II threatens the inde-
pendence of the judiciary. If the
President should impose his will in
this matter-and God grant that his
real friends will save him from max
ing that .mistake-he would inject
the suspicion Of controlled judici-
airy into THE minds OF the American
people, and that would counteract
all the good that he may have ac-
complished. And II would be a sad
indictment on the able men whom
he should probably appoint to the
Bench.
"And I have a conviction that,
when it comes to a question as grave
as the one we have before US, the
people, and they alone, should de-
eide It. II there be need for laws
for the welfare of the people other
than those that may now be enacted
within our constitution. that instru-
ment provides for amendment on

Senator Townsend's address, in
part, follows:
My first reaction against this
proposal to reorganize the Supreme
Court was instant and instructive
as II the foundation upon which /
had built my citizenship had been
rocked and l must fight to steady It.
told myself that such reaction
need not necessarily mean that l
was right and the proposal wrong;
after all, a foundation may be
broadened and a structure thereby
strengthened.
"Above all. wished to approach
this subject as an American, not
as a party man.
'In our rush, we complain that
the method of amendment is slow
and difficult. We may well thank our
fathers that It be SO, that we may
be safeguarded in our rashness. We
know, in our thoughtful moments
that, for our best interest, the will
of the people should be heard on
questions as grave as this and that
It registers quickly enough when the
necessity arises and the opportunity
is given.
Inconvenience and even delay In
the enactment of legislation is not
a heavy price to pay for our system.
Constitutional democracy moves for
ward with certainty rather than
with speed.
Halls Independent Court
"This Is a court we have, not of
supermen; but independent, un-
trammeled; shut out from our world

swiftly moving America, with only
one prescribed course-to interpret
the enactments of Congress with
respect to their constitutionality.
The very fact that vacancies on
the bench have been filled without
any propagandized effort, but grad
ually, as Administration followed
upon Administration, has given as
surance and confidence that there
would never be an unfair domination
by the party in power-that there
would always be in our country a
balance In government.
"It was not a new thing to pro-
