motherly lady she was! She

yet at the same time keep US
at a respectful distance. In the
sweetest, simplest. most discreet
fashion she would tell US Of the
benefits Of good, clean. moral
habits Of mind and body and
strict adherence to duty, even
though IL seemed unpleasant at
the time. She would seek 10 in
culcate idealism In every little
savage breast, and she made us
feel that she was more than just
a matron - that she was y
mother TO each and every one
and wanted TO help US with our
problems. She took us each by
the hand and led US out Of the
world of darkness into n world
OF light.

 Hitchcock's dog also will be in this picture, but not because the director wants the whole family in the cas. just that he knows that his Sealy ham will obey him.
 This caused little rivalry at the studio. When Director Garson Kan- in heard that Hitchcock was hiring his own dog and collecting $16.50 Q day for him, Kanin cast his sports roadster in the sequence in ''Tom, Dick and Harry, where there Is a lakeside woo-party crowd. It's purely Q matter of principle, be- cause both directors will give the money to movie charities. ICE CREAM

 That woo-hhiging. incidentally ought to get appreciative chuckles from fans under 90. The scene opens with the unmistakeable sound of a shary slap, then the camera moves in on girl, rather dishevel- ed and quite indignant, jumping out of a car. As she stalks away, the car backs out and follows her and and another car--carrying finger Ginger Rogers and George Murphy parks.
 Just as they are in the middle oi some tender phases and going into a clinch, an ice cream vendor sticks his head in the window ant says jovially, Good eveningl Ant what does everybody want? Vanilla chawklit, strawberry, banana, black walnut-and peppermint stick"

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD

 BY LUCTE NEVILLE (NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 Hollywood, April 4--Alfred Hitch- cock, the British director with plenty of poundage, has decided he's entitled to more footage in future pictures. That's going to end the game of T Spy Hitchcock" which Hollywood and many movie fans have been playing.
 By now, his whim of appearing in each of his films is sort of tra- dition, but heretofore, his acting has been brief and inconspicuous---so much 50 that only trained Hitch- cock enthusiasts could identify him.
 Tn "Rebecca" he strolled in a crowd scene, undiscovered except by eyes which knew every Hitch- cock bulge and gesture. He walked as hriskly as a cement mixer through an outdoor set of MT. and Mrs, Smith," passing by the mems club just as lovelorn Robert Montgomery came out Its door.
 TALKED WITH
 HIS HANDS
 Hitchcock made two appearances In Foreign Correspondent obvious one difficult to spot, just to make the game better for his fan-spies.. The first was in an early sequence, where he walked under the Carlton Hotel canopy. The
