Well, Uncle Boomboom, although he c nt tell all he knows, predicts th We are going to have a tariff law that will protect both the producer and the con- sumer. It will protect the consumer from low prices, which are bad for him, and the same goes, of course, f the producer.

The high spot of high spots, how- ever, is the cottage of Cecil De Mille. who is a showman down to his kitch- enette. On the MGM lot, the Cecil De Mille cottage is something which even a traveling scribe from Man- hattan may not enter without some slight temerity and effort. De Mille, whose bath tubs and bedrooms once added to the gaiety of nations, is guarded by what appear, at first Blance, to be frail feminines. But just try to crash his door!
