With a number of major cities

was learned today.
AS a result of hearings before
the Federal Trade Commission
trade practices section. a set Of
proposed rules has been drafted
which probably will be in effect
within the next few months, &C
cording to II. Paul Butz, FTC
attorney before whom the hear

The Federal regulations were
requested by the industry itself
which seems anxious to eliminate
the unsavory elements that have
developed during the fantastic
postwar growth of television.
\. The "unsavory elements" are

This Is a sound thought, but
one far larger than this de-

Its more reasonable purpose Is
to consider a class of dramatic

''Five Fingers" In spite of a

title, this is a fine sample not

but of how the most vital secrets
Of nations become items in the

A foreword to the Aim at the

NEW 4O1bIA.
One Of Broadway's most en-
chanting triumphs this season
is that of two small-fry players
who are practically stealing"
the show from experienced star
Helen Hayes. No one Is more
delighted than Miss Hayes, who
made her own stage debut in
Washington, D. c., at the age
of 5.
Starring in the comic fan
tasy. Mrs. McThing," by Mary
Chase, at the Martin Beck The
ter, Miss Hayes is finding that
the ecStatic moments of the
show are mostly being taken
over by 10-year-old Brandon
De Wilde and 7-year-old Lydia
Reed.
Mrs. McThing" is a whimsi-
cal, imaginative comedy and
fantasy which Miss Chase ap-
parently wrote to appeal as
much to children as to adults,
much in the mood of Peter
Pan" There is no similarity
between the two stories. but
Peter Pan" is the only play !
can recall which is in the same
mood of Mrs. Nothing"
He Is a Genius.
The essence of the story of
"Mrs. McThing" is a proper
mother whose perfect" little
son has been adopted by a group
of gangsters who think her
SON Is genius. And so he
seems to be; at least Brandon
De Wilde convinces the audi
ence he is a genius when he
meets a group of gangSterS in
company with his 7-year-old
girl friend.
Young Master De Wilde, who
made a hit on Broadway two
seasons ago as the dignif1ed Z
year-old John Henry in 1.-THE
Member OF the Wedding" still
is a young actor who looks to
his future.
II really am only 9 years
old" he said, but will you say
that am 10 years old? Be-
cause I will be 10 years old.
actually, in April, and my
mother and father say have
to retire from the stage when I
am IL years old. Don't you
think that's rather early? !
don't feel that old"
AS the school law requires,
De Wilde and young Miss Reed
must attend regular school
while playing In MRS. Nc
Thing" every night and two
mntinees a week. II they can
not attend a public school,
there Is a professional chill
dren's school which arranges
class hours to At.
De Wilde attends a public
school In the afternoon. When
his stage performances inter-
fere with his public school study
sessions he has a private tutor
to give him the same lessons

''People say 1t must be won

I never cared about it, said
Betty Cradle, adding, lat least
! haven't since the first time ]
saw 1t there, The price you pay
for being a star is big-in loss
of privacy. ! don't like to be
always on display"
Betty is back on the payroll
of goth Century-FoX after an
eight month suspension that
netted her nothing but a rest
and cost her, in hard cash,
something like 100000.
Before she baked at making
q new picture, and went on
suspension, Betty was holding
out for (a) vacation, (b) more
time off between pictures and
(c) her radio and recording
rights. She was refused on all
counts.
II had to come back to finish
out my contract, but I sure don't
have to like it," said Betty with
bitterness.
She feels that the studio
treated her upgenerously de-
spite the fact that, according to
the last income tax figures re-
leased, she was the highest-paid
woman in the United States,
and probably the world. She is
paid 100000 annually to make
two pictures.
On Betty's behalf, she is not
overpaid by theatrical stand
ards. She has been leading
box Office favorite 10 years. In
any case, Betty isn't complain
ing about the money. She said
that she was overWorked.
For 18 months before my
SUSPENSION she asserted, IT
didn't have a single day of. I
just got so tired I thought ]
would have a nervous break
down if I didn't have a rest. I
asked for 1t and the studio said
another script was ready for
me, and I would have to stert
rehearsals for the picture right
away.
THE studio announced that
I was suspended because I re-
fused to do the picture. I didn't
refuse to do it. I was suspended
because I had to have rest"
To get back to the life

as lived by Miss Cradle and her
husband, band leader Harry
James:
Harry and never go any
where. We haven't been in a
Hollywood night club for
years, and very rarely even in
one of the better known res

And then there's the mon

1t must be to have that. Well,
1t is nice, but not nearly as
nice as I thought 1t would be

place, I'm song -and-dance
