Every One Wants to Direct,
Including 7 op Film Stars
By Harold Heffernun

on the screen only few years
back.
Elliott Nugent usually stars on
the Broadway stage and only di-
rects when in Hollywood. He gives
a sensible reason for preferring
to direct. GAS an actor. I could
play only one part; but as a direc-
tor can play them all. It's great
fun"
Among the most recent to jump
the fence is Richard Haydn who
played Franz Joseph in The En-
peror Waltz" and the tulip-grow-
ing neighborhood gossip in Sit
ting Pretty" He's now directing
"Mr. Music" starring Bing Crosby.
Before that he did Miss Tatlock's
Millions" and Dear Wife" Ac-
tors like to work for Haydn be-
cause, being a fellow thespian, he
is quick to sense their various
problems.
Dance star Gene Kelly has just
finished directing "On The Town"
Lew Ayres' new contract gives him
a long-desired chance to direct
picture called New Mexico" I"
Burgess Meredith is drawing raves
for his plotting of 1.-THE Man on
the Eifel Tower" And, of course,
there are such actors-turned-d -di-
rectors as Robert Montgomery,
Norman Foster. Gregory Ratof.
Richard Whorf. Irving Pichel and
John Cromwell. You may likewise
add the names Of Laurence Olivier
and Orson Welles, who direct, star
and produce.
Feminine Stars, Too.
Some of the top, most expert
enced directors began as actors
John Huston. Ella Kazan, Michael
Curtiz, Frank Lloyd. Frank, Bor-
cage and even Cecil B. De Mile,
who trod the Broadway boards
long before he ever dreamed
Samson and Delilah" could
make flrst-class movie fare.
And as for the so-called weaker
sex, don't think the veteran fem
inine stars aren't tossing an envi-
GUS eye toward the order-giving
department Of movie-making.
Just the other day Claudette
Colbert's deal to direct three pic
lures for RKO release was an
nounced, but Miss Gas no one
suspected-will not give up her
acting career. She plans to direct
a couple, then act in a couple.
What is all this doing to such
career minded but somewhat old
time femmes as Ginger Rogers,
Joan Crawford, Greer Carson and
Bette Davis? You can well imag-
inc! What. they mutter. has Col
bert got behind megaphone that
they haven't? Watch now for the
big rush to the front offices, with
every tired glamor gal in the busi-
ness demanding a directors
shingle.
With the poor, mine-run direc-
tors certainly going all out to pro-
tect themselves from the starry
invasion of their ranks-via dras-
tic guild action-look for a great
rat race in this department dur
ing 1850.

Gene Autry started out with q
horse and wound up with four air
planes. His fantastic odyssey is a
fair example of what can happen
to a guy in Hollywood.
This sensationally successful
cowboy actor now spends more
time in the pilots seat than he
does in the saddle.
Autry. once a Understanding
telegraher, grew rich on West
erns, records and radio. He has
money invested in cattle ranches,
newspapers, radio stations and
movie theaters. He still makes six
films a year. These interests,
crossing an estimated $2.000,00
a year, require considerable per-
sonal attention, and Gene prob
ably logs more flying hours con-
sistently than any non-commer-
cial pilot.
Needs Them All.
He makes some 120 personal
appearances annually. He tours
with his rodeo so days each year.
In travelling all over the Nation
he has amassed more than 5000
hours of flying time, including
1000 hours at night and 300 hours
on instruments.
A licensed commercial pilot, he
owns a light single-engine plane,
two twin-engine cabin craft and
a large twin engine transport ship.
He says he needs them all.
His complicated working and
travelling schedules preclude use
Of commercial airlines, but he
follows the same flying procedures

Strange, restless creatures, in
deed. are the boys and girls who
star in the movies. Once they're
more or less firmly perched on the
pinnacle, they reach out for other
worlds to conquer. For some rea-
son they all seem to covet the job
Of direction. Maybe it's an innate
desire to give orders and to prove
to themselves and the world that
they're brainy folks.
Hardly a star is now alive who
at some time or another hasn't t
looked enviously at his director
and murmured a hope some day
to be sitting in his chair, running
the whole show.
Even Mickey Rooney, at 10 and
at the zenith of his film glory
wanted to become a director so
badly that this continued ambi-
ton a few years later resulted in
a break and parting from MGM.
You can imagine how they felt
in the Paramount front Office last
week when Montgomery Cliff, one
of the two or three top-drawing
males Of the screen today. walked
In and calmly announced that
after finishing his star role in
"A Place In the Sun" he intended
retiring from acting-in favor of
directing. If Paramount didn't
agree, Monty limited. he might GO
someplace else.
Thinking It Over.
In a delicate situation such as
that, you don't get rough with
the caller. The executives listened
politely and laughed a little nerv-
ously, steering the conversation
into other channels. But Cliff
wasn't to be waved aside. He
stubbornly insisted he meant busi-
ness. The conference broke up
with his bosses agreeing to think
things over" If Cliff would con-
sent to act in q couple more
movies.
All facts considered, one wouldn't t
have blamed any of the patient
tycoons for kicking a hole through
his paneled desk. Imagine dis
covering and developing such a
record-crasher as Cliff, ballyhoo-
ing him, putting him in the big
gest pictures and taking out a
few mortgages on his future pros
pects-and getting such propo-
sition!
Nevertheless, there are plenty
Of examples around the studios to
prove that actors can be trans
formed into first-class directors.
George Stevens, who is both pro-
ducing and directing Gifts cur

matinee idol himself. One Of the
