An Ext rifna Donna
Directing Again
By the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD.

HULL Woob.
A man once described variously
as a genius, a nuisance, an un-
manageable prima donna, and as
nice guy, is directing his first
film in eight years. He is Vienna
born Josef Won Sternberg, maker
of such hits as Crime and Pun
ishment," Morocco" and "The
Blue Angel" Gin which he unveiled
his Berlin find, Marlene DietrichD {.
Hollywood considered Won Stern
berg a master craftsman-and also
problem child. A human dy-
namo, he drove actors and tech
nicians to the limit of endurance.
He feuded with studio brass. ac-
cusing executives of interference.
They in turn labeled him tempera-
mental, and he drew fewer and
fewer assignments. His last di-
recting job was "The Shanghai
Gesture" in 1941.
Now Won Sternberg is directing
"Jet Pilot" for Howard Hughes,
likewise an individualist. A little
more mellow, his ose-clipped
hair and moustache a little grayer,
he is nonetheless the same hard
working Won Sternberg. On the
set, as of old, he arranges lights,
operates the camera, acts out the
players roles for them. And he
still refuses to be hurried, char
acteristic which makes him some
thing of an anachronism in these
days of speed and economy in
movie making.

These begin with a fashionable

Hayward, a fiery virgin from the
Far West, meets Andrews on a
balcony where she has gone in
fit of pique at discovering her
dress is questionable. They are
mutually fascinated, one of those

dezvoused at his apartment in
Greenwich village. he has joined
the Army. they date desperately
and then one night his adieu in
a dormitory elevator is witnessed
by dean and the girl is expelled.
All the time the egocentric
Andrews refuses to commit him
self to the surely advisable mar
riage and what is more he per-
sists in this attitude even after
talking with the girls father and
getting word from his Army su-
periors that he may be shipped
overseas any minute.
1t is just before the fatal crash
that he writes Miss Hayward that
he really would like to be mar
ried, but when she gets the let
ter, he is dead and she has no
better choice than to marry the
other man in order that the baby
may have a name. Even the
wrong one.
The pace of Miss Hayward S
foolish heart is a dizzy thing to
watch, but young Director Mark
Robson ("The Champion" and
Home of the Brave") has done
his artful best to make the flight
easier to take. With his inventive
writer's, he has succeeded in keep
ing his cameras moving through
one glossy. hotly emotional scene
after another.
Actually. and not to the ad-
vantage of the basic romance, the
best scenes are those between
Miss Hayward and Robert Keith
as her father. Keith, a veteran
of crises on the stage, keeps a
droll, sure touch upon his pater-
nal relationship with his daugh-
ter and a most engaging domi-
nance of his one big scene with
the tough-minded soldier.
X X X
The admission of the folly in
Miss Hayward's nature is not
enough to make it credible
through the performance she
gives. A girl of her instructive
guile seems not only to be little
too advanced for the girls school
she is attending, but much toe
clever not to see through the
rogish facade of her soldier lover
The things that happen to her
probably should not happen to
any girl so pretty, but the mascu-
line heart at least is likely to per-
sist in feeling that she gets just
what is coming to her.
Andrews lover is another un-
reasonable sort to put up with, a
mere romantic opportunist who,
until his one overwhelming mo-
ment when it is too late, thinks
that love is a lark and RESPONSE
bility is for dullards.
The much more credible roles
are those played by the far less
CONSPICUOUS characters, Kent
Smith as the rescuing husband
and Lois Wheeler as the girl who
loves him, along with Keith and
Jessie Royce Lands.
AS Goldwyn's pictures always
are, however, my Foolish Heart"
is given superior surface sheen
and its direction is prettily de-
ceptive in most areas of the script.
Maybe it is sad to lack a SINH
larly foolish heart over screen
plays like this one.

Since this is Vaughn Monroe
week at the Capitol it probably
doesn't matter very much what
happens on the screen. 1t is only
a breather between stage appear
ances of the baritone, his orches-
ira and the usual speciality acts.
The faithful Riders in the Sky
admirers will be out to cheer
Vaughn on and the Hollywood
contribution which makes it hard
er or easier to sit through two
shows is only incidental.
This probably is just as we'll.
"The Story of Molly x" is pretty
much a standard melodrama. 1t
manages to strike an average be-
tween it's worse moments, which
are decidedly substandard and its
better ones, which are due to a
solid performance by June Havoc
and an authentic background
provided by a women's penal in
stitution in California.
Neither Miss Havoc's expert
impersonation of a gun moll nor
her authentic surroundings, how
ever, can overcome your aware
ness that this plot is as routine
as they come. Miss Havoc plays
a girl named Molly x, who sets
herself up as the brains of a
stealing business inherited from
her lately lamented spouse. In
no time at all, she is put away for
theft and allowed to fret all over
the place in the fear that that
San Francisco cop will find her
gun and hang a murder rap on
her.
Crane Wilbur, who wrote anc
directed '"The Story of Molly x
can thank Miss Havoc, all right
for those moments when his
film shows some life. Her picture
OF nara young women OF the
underworld is a believable one
She will have none of this namby-
pamby enlightened California
penal system which believes g
criminal can change his ways
and re-eAter society. Molly doesn't
want to be rehabilitated. She
prefers the way she is and the
way she is is tough.
Writer Wilbur has not given
Director Wilbur anything pre-
cisely brilliant to work with in
Molly X" Apart from some in
spection of California justice and
a couple of suggests between
Miss Havoc and Dorothy Hart
the melodramatics are pretty un-
interesting. Miss Havoc is never
uninteresting, however. nor fol-
