OCTOBER 14. 1958 Early Days At Paramount Recollected By Cary Grant HOLLYWOOD IAP-Here's alphia Story.' special added attraction to last week's series on the new rulers of Hollywood: portrait ot a pro Cary Grant. The smooth southpaw was the trailblazcr of the new recime in the film industry. Now a dozen ten stars hold the balance of power over the fading studio bosses. "DENNIS THE MENACE" Grant's barjaining power didn't diminish with the breakup of the studio contract player lists. In fact, he became an ever greater draw with the public's concentra tion on fewer big-name stars. And so he can exact not only great sal aries $750,000 is a common offer for a - film but an increasing The smooth southpaw was theishare in ownership of his movies. trailblazcr of the new regime in He own5 75 per ccnt , hjs cur. me mm naustry. .w a tiozen wp!rcn, Mr)ash njt "indiscreet," and stars noia me naiance oi power;h-i n,,s,cd. .u- -,.. over the fading studio bosses "I was the first star to free lance," Grant recalled. "It was back in lt3 when I left Para mount. I had been doing pretty well there, but nothing sensa tional. "Adolph Zukor wanted me to stay and he even olfered to jump my salary from $2,500 a week to $3,500 instead of my next raise, S3.00O. But I said no. I wasn't do ing the kind of picture I wanted to do. If I stayed I would be in the same position of having to lake pictures that Gary Cooper. William Powell or Clive Brook turned down." So Grant branched out on his own, and his services have been in demand by producers ever since. Largely a dramatic actor at Paramount, he established him self as the screen's best expo rent nf light comedy with films like "The Awful Truth." "Holi day" and "My Favorite Wife." His asking price was $300,000 a picture, and there were plenty of takers. "Even (hough I had no contract ties. I had a certain appeal to the studios." he said. "You take a place like MGM. It had a great stable of stars, but Ihey had all played opposite each other before Spencer Tracy with Luna Tur ner, Clark Gable with Jean Har low, etc. "So it appealed to the studio bosses to bring this fellow in from the outside, no matter what they had to pay him. And that's how 1 got pictures like 'The I'hiladel- live after eight years'. 3-Time Killer Given Parole OKLAHOMA CITY 'APl-Gov.

This charge about the condition of U.S. juvenile reform c o m e s from Ernnst A. Mitlcr, lonner counsel for the Senate Subcom mittee on Juvenile Delinquency and one of the country's authori ties on crime among teen-acers. Miller says meager funds, a se vere shortage nt trained person nel and extreme overcrowding prevent many of the institutions from providing needed rehabilita tive programs. A lew even use ex treme terms of punishment which sometimes border on savagery. The tragic result is that the juvenile inmates are usually no more capable of living m a law abiding society alter being re leased than they were when first committed. Miller explains that most of the school superintendents are trying their best to do a good job. Hut the lack of money usually blocks any effort they mishi make to turn their good intentions into hen- (icial realities an institution can often cost a superintendent his job even though he had no way of slopping the trouble in the first place. "It's a miracle a man would stand and take it all." tho ju venile delinquency expert declares. During his year-and-a-half probe of correctional schools. -Miller re veals he found institutions in about seven slates that are still using brutal punishment methods. These include beatings, forcing kids to brace themselves against a wall for hours, or making them hold a sitting position with arms extended tor long periods of time. For example. Mitlcr tells of one girls' school where inmates were forced to sop up bucketsful of water with a mascara brush. In another school, a stolon watch led to the heating of 29 boys. The superintendent felt that at least one of the L"J must he the culprit.

New Film May Be On Top For Crooner By BOB THOMAS AP Motion Picture Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) Although Bing Crosby hasn't made a mo vie in two years, he hasn't ruled out the possibility of a return to ft i f'l AF Observer Had Fever ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (AP) - The young pilot who rode the Air force Man High balloon to the stratosphere last week ran a high temperature for hours. But a surgeon who supervised by remote control from the ground says Lt. Clifton McClure never be came delirious and responded to directions properly all through the flight last Wednesday. McClure. 25, sought to rise to 100.000 feet and stay there 24 hours to relay observations hack to scientists on the ground. He reached 99.600 feet, but his sealed metal cockpit capsule over heated, and he had to return to earth 12 hours short of the time he aimed for. Lt. Col. R. R. Hessberg. chief of the aeromedical field laboratory at the Air Force Missile Develop ment Center, where the flight took place, said McClure's tempera ture, electronically recorded. registered 106 at its peak. Hessberg emphasized that it was corrected to 104 after error in the electronic system was taken into consideration. The doctor said McClure's tem perature began to rise, with the heating of the metal cockpit cap sule, about 1:30 p.m. and reached peak about 5 p.m. while he was descending. McClure landed at 6:45 p.m., and the doctor said his tempera ture was "way back down by the lime he cot to a hospital, about p.m. down about 100 then and normal in a matter of hours."

Court Clears Actor's Way LOS ANGELES (APl-A federal court has cleared Ihe way for Wil liam Holdcn to make a move and 12 million dollars. . Paramount Pictures Corp. had sought an injunction to prevent llolden from making the picture for .Mirisch Co.. an independent. The injunction, Holden's attorney said, might cost the film star as much as l'j million dollars. llolden argued that Paramount failed to object within a four-day period as provided in a 1951 con tract, when llolden notitied the i studio he wanted to make "The Horse Soldiers" for Mirisch.

I His last was a non-singing role in "Man On Eire." a serious story about divorce. Bing indicated he'd favor a lighter movie if he makes another film. "There are a couple of comedies at Universal and one at Fox that might work out," he said. One deal that didn't work out was for him to appear opposite Judy Holliday in "The Bells are l Ringing. Bing was willing, out the film project was already cut up too many ways, with shares going to Judy, authors Comden and Green, producer Arthur! Freed, etc. So the lead went to: Dean Martin. James B. Harp's and Stanley Kubrick deny Cary Grant's state-j ment that he was offered the lead role in their film verion of "Lo-! lita." Say the young film makers: "Although we have the highest respect for Mr. Grant as an act or, we have never had him in mind for this part." Citing Grant's slam at the subject matter of the best sell e r, they declared it seems presumptuous that so m e stars are now setting themselves up as guardians of the public taste in contrast to the foremost literary critics in the nation who have acclaimed 'Lolita' one of the literary classics of this genera tion." Grant had criticized the theme: of the book, which deals with a middle aged man's fondness for W-year-old girls. Grant told of his advice to In- grid Bergman, who wanted to do a script about an aging star. It s a beautiful part which will prob ably win the highest awards," he. said, "but don't do it." He cited another star who played a fading actress, allowed herself to be photographed with out makeup and won critical ac claim "and she hasn't had a, good role since." 1 Si First step to beautiful walls SUPER J urn- TONE IATCX WALL PAINT $29 i i i u Ji Guaranteed Washable!
