Miss Wiley hasn't sung in public for some time her records are very hard to find, but her followers, now with graying heads, are everywhere, still remain loyal and will be huddled ever TV sets tonight when NBC's Bob Hope Theater stars I'iper Laurie in "Something About Lee Wiley" with Claude Rains, Steven Hill and Alfred Ryder.

Of course, nothing's going to be good enough for Wiley fans, it can't be, but the hope is there. Neither will the Wiley voice be heard in the four numbers ranging from "Sugar" to "I've Got A Crush On You." A singer whose voice has some of the speaking qualities of Miss Laurie's pipes, does the vocals, and, naturally, this may offend some Cf the fans.

She doesn't like to commit herself and she took long pauses before making comments on the show.

"For secret reasons of my own," she said, "I think it stands a very good chance. It's not the usual drama about a singer with so many stand-up numbers In front of a band. The Wiley songs will be heard over the dialogue as the action takes place. "It's unusual," Miss Laurie continued. "I don't want to put labels on it, but It's somewhat surrealistic."

Someone said, 'why not go the A call was made and then we had one short visit together. There were so many questions I wanted to ask, but I couldn't." How did Miss Wiley like the script. "Here's her exact quote" said Miss Laurie.

A story is a story. I think it's Miss Laurie wanted to know about Miss Wiley's mannerisms while she sang in front of a band. What did she do with her hands? "I didn't know how to use my hands," was her answer. "So I kept them quiet. I tapped my foot instead." Miss Laurie felt timid talking about Miss Wiley because she didn't feel she had the right to after only meeting her once.

She had never listened to Wiley records before, but came away impressed and pleased by the Wiley humor. More outside help in the way of confidence and friendliness came from band man Benny Carter, saxophone player Buddy Collette and the other musicians on the show. "They asked me back to Join them after lunch breaks and I was honored," said Miss Laurie. "I was asked to sing my favorite song I was awful." In one scene Miss Laurie had to laugh up on the bandstand and she asked the drummer, a shy man, to say something funny just before her cue. "He kept saying he couldn't think of anything and then finally he blurted out something lovely and I got my laugh," she said.

"I don't think the musicians know how much they helped me." This fall may turn into a I'iper Laurie season, since she has already filmed a "Ben Casey" and an "Eleventh Hour" the Wiley story is Miss Laurie's last TV effort for the year.

Stalin Is a mouthful of a role. But Chayefsky and producer Arthur Cantor (co-producer of "The Tenth Man" and have a dedicated young actor in their employ.

For Falk this can be an utmost flight into acting orbit since the soundness of the play depends mightily on the projection of the late world famed leader of the U.S.S.R. We saw the young Stalin played In the Georgian State Theater of the U.S.S.R. long before Lenin's successor got his comeuppance at the 20th Moscow Congress. A young man did the job and soundly. But that was Russia and thp audience was pre heated.

Cofmalrnt By CHARLES K. HiKKMAN Young PetPr Falk, whose warm, plain folk parents are Main Street merchants In Os-Kining, Is up there. Eight years ago he gathered his short, squat non-Don Juan figure together and yanked hard. That act severed him from a job as efficiency engineer in Hartford, Connecticut and at the same time propelled him towards as capricious a profession as there Is cu'sirle of horse-race jockeying. But the local lad had more than a star gazing "cloud seven" approach to the art of acting.

He had a strong determination plus Innate sense of characterization. He had the happy faculty of pinpointing Intense concentration on the Inner core of a role: all he nocded was "the break." He got this In the Phoenix Theater production of "St. Joan" that starred Siobhan Mc-Kenna. His uncomplicated and direct presentation of a small part made clear he knew what fie was about when he decided to become what many claim professionally to be but few are an actor. Off Broadway then took him on in a variety of assignments Including "Bonds of Interest," "Comic Strip," "The Iceman Cometh" and others.

Toli-vlslon fame Next It was Inevitable that he find employment In television. In a series of new chores hp proved Jie could steal a scene with little effort from long established anchormen. Good roles then came his way In the mass media that Includes films and he reached some sort of zenith in the film "Murder, Inc." His I (MB I M'M'I'iilVri i wsnmsr Wtst Nyock 1 t''!
