By ALEXANDER KAHX United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD l7JRi Artistic hairdressers are numerous in Hollywood, but the oddest job in the hairdressing field is held by Pierre Pouchet, a Frenchman who is hairdresser for horses. Fouchet says he is the only horse hairdresser in Hollywood, if not the United States, and becomes highly indignant if he is called a groom.

"There are many horsemen in pictures who as cowboys learned to use a currycomb," he said, "but they never made a scientific study of horse like I did in France." In the past few years Fouchet has groomed horses to represent Assyrian steeds, turf champions, medieval cavalry horses and wild Arabian horss. He has a large library on horses and pictures of virtually all types from almost prehistoric horses to modern show animals and turf HOLLYWOOD (U.E Filrn stars receive enough gifts from their followers to fill a department store, the gifts coming on their birthdays, wedding anniversaries, at Christ-J New York.

At ipresent he is taking care of the racehorses in "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry," a track story about juvenile friendship and hordes, featuring Ronald Sinclair and Mickey Itooney.

Fouchet previoutly handled the hairdressing for the horses in "A Day at the Races'" "Saratoga," "Rroadway Bill" and in "The Crusaders." The Frenchman is present at all times when homes are used before the camera to see that their tails and manes are not mussed. Between scenes he checks each animal and straightens stray lockiS for the next shot. "A horse is just as proud of his appearance as any other animal," Two years ago those in power in this State sought tore-write the Constitution of Pennsylvania for their own purposes, through a Constitutional Convention. The people of this Stale repulsed that scheme by a majority of more than a quarter of a million votes. Now, through proposed Amendments which will appear upon your ballot on November 2nd, the same group seeks to achieve the same ends.

Having Practically Doubled the Taxes in This State Within Less Than Three Years, They Now Demand the Right to Collect Millions More and Remove Wise Constitutional Restraints From the Tax System of Pennsylvania THESE AMENDMENTS ARE DANGEROUS AND VDCIOUS They Have Been so Worded as to Conceal Their Real Meaning. They Would Open the Constitution of This State to Uncontrolled Tax Grabs to "Ripper" Legislation Which Would Destroy Home Rule and to Constant Tinkering With the Constitution Itself. Fouchet says. "Why, some of them even strut after I get through giv ing them an extra fine 'hairdress ing'." HOLLY WOO, L.E) In the opinion of George Lynn, rising young screen actor, the way to succeed in the theatrical profession is to write a play. Lynn, who has appeared the "menace" in 'half a dozen pictures produced during the last few months, was making slow headway in films.

"I decided the thing to do was to write a iplay," he says. "I collaborated with Virginia Radcliffe on a play we called "Let the Devil Wear Black." It was produced at the Pasadena Community Playhouse. "Writing the play gave me a keener insight into characterization The only possible excuse for Amendment No, 1A is that it would enable proponents of a defeated am endmen to keep pushing it before the electorate, year after year, at the expense of the local communities. will not be so low that practically everyone would pay tribute under this tax. The proposed Amendment is silent as to all these things specific only in the vicious powers it would create Every consideration of self-defense demands the overwhelming defeat of this proposal.

and a broader peivpeclive of my own ability. After much thought 1 decided that my forte was character acting, especially menacing figures who foreclose the mortgage and the like. "Many drama coaches tell young actors that the way to fame is made easier by studying famous plays. I've found that writing one play is more helpful than reading a hundred. "It's like being a spectator at a sport.

Asia spectator you may be able to, discuss the sport intelligently, but to really know the game you must play it, no matter how poor you are at it." The actor is a graduate of Washington and Lee University of Virginia and came to Hollywood after spending several years as a pilot for the Curtiss-Wright aircraft company. Lynn for several months lived on 50 cents a day while trying to crash into pictures. It was through his performance in his own play lhat 'he won the attention of producers, who cast him in support Amendment No, 3 A is unnecessary because over a long period of years the State has been paying these pensions and benefactions under present laws. Amendment No, 4A is the Amendment. Only the Constitution of Pennsylvania has preserved for the largest city in our Commonwealth that degree of home rule which it exercises today.

Through this Amendment the Administration would accomplish by Constitutional "ripper" what it failed to accomplish by Legislative "ripper." They seek Constitutional permission to legislate the City of Philadelphia into the control of those to whom the people of Philadelphia have been unwilling to vote control. Under the cloak of "economy," this Amendment would rip out a County, to give more patronage to the most wasteful and extravagant Administration in the history of Pennsylvania by "ripper" legislation. Amendment No, 2 A the so-called Income Tax Amendment would remove from Taxes now imposed by the State, the requirement that each Tax must be uniform in its application. They could make the Gasoline Tax 1 cent a gallon in politically vored, sections and set the same Tax at any exorbitant figure in other sections. They could tax the recording of mortgages in communities of a given population and exempt identical mortgages in other sections.

Excise Taxes could fall heavily upon some homesteads, and not at all upon others. They could so differentiate in taxes applying to the various uses of land that one landowner would pay a big tax and another would pay little or nothing. By manipulation and discrimination they could impose taxes for partisan or punitive purposes. This Amendment would permit destructive and confiscatory taxes that would impoverish the State by driving citizens out of it. The Income Tax provision is not earmarked.

School teachers are not mentioned in it, while, as for property owners, the State does not levy a Real Estate Tax and obviously could not abolish or reduce that which it has not imposed. Moreover, wage-earners have no assurance that the exemption ing roies. Amendment No. 5 A has been abandoned by its sponsors. This now has no known supporters.

Tone made his statement in full icalization that it 'violated the "act ing standards" that he learned while studying for the stage. The specifib precept he ignores says: "Keep your hands still. If you can go througii an entire ipicturc without shoving your hands iuto your pockets or smoking a cigarette, then you can call yourself an a', tor." "Bosh" snorted the film star. "To my mind a person who can smoke his pockets is an actor because he porkets is an actor because he appears a human being, not a puppet with a voice." Tone then started lo rip into other sections of the actor's kode he learned as a youth iu dramatic school, "The next thing we were taught was to be proficient in the use of weapons of all periods.

Why spend years learning to handle a broadsword when the studio probably would bo afraid to let an actor oven touch the weapon and would have a' double do (he work anyway? "Another rule aitl an at. tor should be able to dance the minuet ravotte, mazurka and other folk dances, I like dancing, but if the director wants me to do any of those dances 1 can learn them quickly enough without wasting my time on thcni when they arc not needed.
