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

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

live after eight years'.

good citizens out of delinquent
boys and girls.
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.
Miller says that staff members

He reached 99.600 feet, but his

McClure landed at 6:45 p.m.,
