FOUR SOLUTIONS FOR
COURT PROBLEM ARE
OFFERED BY AKIN

BERKELEY. Cal, (UP)-Fom
courses of action to 'mOdernizc"
the U. S. supreme court are pos
siblc, according to DR.. Charles
Akin. professor of political sci
ence at the University of Califor-
MIA.
The first and most drastic of
these, Akin said, would be to
amend the consultation to take
away from the court the power
to declare laws unconstitutional.
A second possibility would be
to modify the courts power, re-
curing that the court no longer
act by mere majority vote, but
providing that if two OF more jus
tees are convinced that law is
constitutional, it may not be null
lifted by the adverse decision of
their colleagues.
The state of Ohio. Akin said,
has successfully functioned- under
such constitutional provision for
many wears.
A third proposal, and one which
he believes has received the most
attention. calls for amending the
constitution to overcome the real
or imagined difficulties the court
has discovered that make it inn
possible to regulate agriculture,
industry and labor.
The champions of such action
point to the tremendous changes
that have taken place in the ma
tional life since the adoption of
the constitution. changes that de-
mand a revised view of the func-
tions of the federal government.
They contend that the election of
last November carries a mandate
to congress and the president to
so act, despite the technical diff
ficultieS in drawing up a satisfac-
tory amendment.
The fourth proposal would
amend the constitution to permit
congress to repass a law the court
had declared unconstitutional and
which would then free the law

Fernand Gravel, Continental
screen star whose first American
film play is "The King and the
Chorus Girl" plans to return to
Hollywood in the early fall.
Gravel left for Paris a week after
his initial Hollywood picture was
finished and will star in a French
film before being coStarred with
Ethel Norman in an untitled
American musical which Mervyn
Leroy will produce.
Back in France, Gravel is sing
ing the praises of Hollywood and
telling his interviewers that he is
eager to return to America for
more picture work, but that he will
not establish a permanent home
in America.
"Mr. Leroy signed me to a per-
sonal contract. and it provides that
he shall personally direct all my
pictures" says Gravel, because I
am Continental type and I have
no business and no thought of
competing with Hollywood actors
as an American type of actor.
Mr.. Leroy and I have agreed that
after each American film I will
return to Europe to prevent my
becoming too Americanized in
speech and mannerisms. When
American actors come to Europe
for American type pictures they
don't discard their birthright or
mannerisms. I must always try
to retain that something that I
am not. I like Hollywood and its
idealism, it's sincere attempt to
make the best pictures in the
world, and it's willingness to accept
a stranger and make him feel at
home; but will never make my
permanent residence in Holly
wood"
Cast as an exiled king who falls
in love with an American dancer
in THE King and the Chorus
Girl" Gravel will assume the role
of q Continental singing star in
his second Hollywood film, thus
giving American audiences a
chance to hear the baritone voice
which has aided him in becoming

idols.

HOLLYWOOD, March 20.-Par-
adoxes abound in Hollywood but
the most unusual is the fact that
it's not the fans but the movie
stars who are the most persistent
autograph hunters.
It is part of every stars routine
in public to sign autographs on
all types of paper, even though it
upsets the prosaic business of mar
keting or delays the entrance into
the neighborhood movie to see one
of the latest pictures.
But that isn't all. Studio gates
are cluttered up for hours on end
while the diligent fans await the
inevitable appearance of their
favorites. Yet, the fans lack the
patience and the persistence of
the stars themselves.
Film celebrities, almost without
exception, avidly collect the sigma
lures and pictures of their favorite
and famous friends. And, often
their mania goes to unusual
lengths, such as Gary Cooper's
autographed" sidewalk.

Never before has been been such
a death of condolences in films.
Gone from the screen is Winnie
Lightner and other stars of her
type, leaving the field wide open.
Talent scouts for the various
film studios are searching every
possible source for raw material to
mould into headline condolences,
but nobody wants to be funny.
Youngsters just beginning their
dramatic careers in little theaters,
schools of acting and elsewhere ap-
pear to have only one thought in
mind-to become another Duse,
Bernhardt or Jeanne Eagels.
On the masculine side of the
ledger the situation is not so acute.
It has its Hugh Herberts, Frank
McHughs, Charles Butterworths,
Charles Chaplins, Harold LloydS,
Bob Burnses, Marx Brothers, Hitz
Brothers, Buster Keatons, and
Laurels and Hardys. And there
is no dearth of new material.
On the feminine side, though, it
is different. There only a hand
full reign supreme: Marion Davies,
Carole Lombard, Mary Boland,
Patsy Kelly, Alice Brady, Louise
Fazenda, zasu Pitts.
Within recent months only a
trio of newcomers possessing def.
mite promise have appeared in
ranks of thinning condolences.
They are Martha Raye, Helen Bro
derrick and Marie Wilson, the
whimsical little girl who has blazed
will-o' -the-wisp trail across the
cinematic heavens. Miss Wilson,
now recovering from injuries Suf-
fered in an automobile accident, is
determined eventually to become
a dramatic actress. Before she
was hurt, she made a spare-time
appearance in the title role of a
Little Theater production of Ca
mile" in an effort to convince her
Warner Brother bosses that She
could do dramatic as well as COM
edy roles.
Among the 80 or more prospects
Warmers have signed the past few
months only one-Jane Wyman,
of st. Joseph, Mo.-definitely has
committed herself to a career Of
comedy.
Her talent for making people
laugh was discovered quite by ac-
cident in a small role; even
stranger was her announced de-
termination to "stay funny"
Miss Wyman, however, is the
exception to the "rule" which tends
to show that nobody. leastwise
among the actresses, wants to be
funny-even though comedy is the
shortest and most certain route to
Stardom.
