TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1OT THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR PAGE 14 BETWEEN THE ACTS By Corbin Patrick Producer Hecht Tells What Makes A Star 'New Star9 Delivers A Message Jr ft ilTp wagon train's lumbering journey to verdant Oregon was swifter by far than Hecht's from novel to screen. "We bought the book in about 1954 when I was in partnership with Burt Lancaster." he said at luncheon at tfe "21" club. "At that time, we wanted Gary Cooper and Jimmy Stewart for it. Different writers worked on the screenplay. Once, we had Clifford Odets who wrote a 500-page script and gave up.

After a while, this kind of picture went completely out of favor. "Six or seven years ago, we dissolved our company. Burt and Jim Hill went one way and I went another. We all wanted to do different things. Finally, the property reverted to me." Are movie-goers still interested in the winning of the West? "I don't know," he said.

'It's not the kind of picture that is modish, but neither is 'A Man For All Seasons. "We made a good deal of the picture in Oregon, around Eugene and Bend, and it's just a fabulous state, absolutely unblemished.

ACCIDENTS SEEM to happen to Miss Tsu. She was featured in Time Magazine a couple of weeks ago because the bottom half of her bikini slipped when she dived into a pool for a scene in "Caprice." "I didn't know it until I saw the preview I was so shocked," she said. Some of the censors were shocked, too. The scene was discreetly edited. Irene had dancing parts in the movie "Flower Drum Song" and "Cleopatra." She likes movies.

"Live, audiences always frightened me." She was here just for the afternoon as she must be in New York to appear on Johnny Carson's Tonight show today. But she had time to visit the Speedway the only race she had ever seen was "Grand Prix." From DePauw WE HAVE more news from Twentieth Century-Fox today.

Irene herself plays a secretary who leads a triple life. "A new star is about to rise on the Hollywood horizon," is the way the studio-ore-nared biography introduces her. Her family escaped to Formosa after the Communists took over the China mainland. Irene was sent to New York, where she attended high school and made her stage rlebut in "The World of Suzie Wong" she was a dancer then.

She doesn't think she played Indianapolis on the show's tour, unless it's the same as Minneapolis. But, she recalls, there was a casino across the river in another state which, of course, means that it was Cincinnati. That's the way vn learn geography in show biz.

Well, he made the picture and was a star overnight "When I saw Burt Lancaster in 'A Sound Of Hunting on Broadway (in 1945), I knew he had it. I don't know how you could miss it. He was so dominating, so much larger than life. He still is." Hecht's new production, "The Way West." has three larger-than-life-size figures in leading roles Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, and Richard Widmark. It will soon be released by United Artists.

"The Way West" is based on A. B. Guthrie Pulitzer Prize novel on the mishaps and Joys of an Oregon-bound wagon train in 1843. HECHT HAD no Indians to fight, no rivers to ford, no gorges to Driage. ami, me Showtime ARLINGTON "Devil's Angels," it 7:25 and 10:15 p.m.
