"The 'Heiress".'-., Would the doctor after arriving from the clinic go directly to his favorite chair in the parlor or would he join the family? Would the daughter have her breakfast in bed or join her father down stairs? The answers determined the position of the rooms. Personality Needed "I try to inject every set with a personality," Horner said. "For the doctor in 'The Heiress, the house bore the memory of his wife. For the daughter it represented an en closure which became unendur able. To her lover it was a lure, for the possession of which he longed more than fof the girl." Horner soaks up atmosphere by living as the characters in his film would live. A year before the cam eras rolled on "The Heiress," he took a room in Washington Square in New York and studied it with sketch pad and camera. :; When he, designed a play called "The World We Make" he went with Social workers to. tenement Houses. For another play about the Goldberg family he rented a room in the Bronx. He stopped in Ver mont villages to create movie sets of "Our Town". For . his next picture, "Carrie Ames," a movie version of the novel "Sister Carrie," Horner lived three days in an old Bowery man sion which now is a third-class flophouse. Then he joined his wife, at the Waldorf. Beginning Happy But Ending Sad HOLLVV.OOD i LP) This is a story of two stir-worsluppers; with happy beginning and a sad end. It begins with Teresa Wright, a young liiri hi Maplewood, N. J., a r.opctul actress and an ardent ad mirer of Helen Hives. From the time she entered her teens she kept scrapbook on Helen Hayes, her stage successes and her act-of-God daughter, Mary MacArthur. One adventurous day Miss Wright bousht two scrtoiped-for i tickets and made the trip from; Maplewood to New York to see the great lady in "Victoria Regina". ! She couldn't get past the guards to see her idol backstage, and so she wrote her a glowing fan letter. i "Three weeks later I got a very warm and personal reply from Miss Hayes mother and an autographed picture of her," Miss Wright re calls. "I was so excited I cried." Several years later, after a few seasons in summer stock and in a road company. Miss Wright won her battle of Broadway and got the Ingenue lead in Howard Lindsay's "Life With Father." Meets Her Idol It was at a special luncheon given by the company for Miss Hayes that the two finally met. The luncheon was at a long table and each actor walked up from his seat to be introduced individually. "I was so nervous," Miss Wright says, "that when it was my turn I couldn't say a word to her. And then I burst into tears." All the other youngsters in the company thereupon began to cry, loo... "I'm the one who should cry," Miss Hayes said. Miss Wright made more of her admiration for Miss Hayes than merely a collection of clippings. By emulating her she became a star in her own right in such pictures as Stanley Kramer's forthcoming "The Men," and her ability won the approbation of Miss Hayes herself. When she had become a star, Miss Wright and Miss Hayes met again. And Miss Hayes asked her if she would wait to meet another aspiring actress, "My daughter Mary is coming," Miss Hayes said, "and she wants so to meet you, You are her favor ite star."
