A book on his life is in its final writing stages and plans for a motion picture based on his life are being considered. "The "Vagabond Lover," who completed a successful week's run at a plush Miami Beach ho tel, said that he has written an autobiography, "My Time Is Your Time." It will be publish ed next spring by Henry Holt, and Co. of New York. Newly-discovered by the teen age set, Vallee left the Miami area for a series of club dates around the nation. He'll appear in Springfield, Mass., and he said he has dates scheduled through out the Midwest, in New Orleans as well as a return date here this fall at the height of the tour ist season. "As soon as the book is pub lished," the graying Vallee said, "I expect the motion picture on my life to begin filming." He said definite commitments for the motion picture have not yet been made but that 20th Century-Fox and Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios are considering the picture. Vallee will not play himself in the picture, but will record the music from his many famous songs. He has selected James Dean, who achieved stardom this year in "East of Eden," to play the part. Vallee, who says he is not "an old man," has been drawing rave notices during his Miami engagement. Sideline Pcfs Off Better Than Regular Job Buffalo, N. Y. (U.R) Swedish-born Per E. Aden is doing so well at his sideline job that he may have to give up his reg ular one. .. Aden works days as a ware house foreman for a builders' supply firm. In his part-time home basement business he turns out a new' type of sump pump casing he developed and pat ented. He's had so many orders for the device, which simplifies the installation of a sump pump, that he's- putting up a small plant. The company he works for also works for Aden. It now distributes some of the casings which the 55-year-old inventor turns out by himself at a four-a-day pace.

"When I first came out here," he explained, "there wasn't any place for the kids to go, nothing for them to do." He said, "every time you'd turn around they'd want to see a show, but there wasn't any theater." Penny arranged with a local film rental company to show the films at his own expense." "They aren't the latest Holly wood productions and the sound track is sometimes rather scratchy, but the boys and girls don't seem to mind," he said. Between 250 to 300 young sters, "from babies on up," us ually crowd onto the benches and overflow on the lawn for the outdoor shows. "The kids took to it right off," Penny said.
