Hollywood-One of the screens better known brats Is about to break into song, and studio executives are almost as excited about it as she is.
 Edith Fellows is a veteran of 10 years experience in Hollywood. She has whined and sniffled her way through about 200 pictures, sometimes ending up in blaze of sweetness and light, sometimes not. Now, in her arly teens, she finally is being starred in a film Wonder Child" It provides the first opportunity for showing off her voice.
 For three years, Miss Fellows has been studying diligently for just such chance, and if the ad- vance raves mean anything, other juvenile trillers will have to mind their sharps and flats. Six songs for Edith have been worked into the script. These range from Rigoletto's "Caro Nome" to hot item titled "Truckin' On Down" Also there are a Mexican number, a Negro number, and an original love ballad.
 About the only thing Miss Fell lows will not do is yodel, unless the oversight is corrected by the inclusion of an Alpine sequence.
 Main worry of Columbia execu- tives right now is whether audi ences will believe that Miss Fel- lows really is doing the singing. After all, everyone knows of in stances in which voices have been dubbed in. So there may be some skepticism when Edith steps out and his E above high c.

 On the set I asked point blank whether she really is a spoiled brat. She replied seriously that she isn't. Tt isn't worth the trou- ble; takes too much energy" Di- rector Aubrey Scotto called her for a scene. She said, Don't go away. I'll be back in a minute"
