'Poor Little Rich Girl' Has Her Disappointments ents Editors Note: This is the first of two stories telling of the career and the mar. riages of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. NEW YORK (UP) Gloria Vanderbilt, whose share of ups and downs at age 32 are just about unmatchable, seems in for another big disappointment just a few weeks after her third wedding.

The ebony haired heiress had to foregon a honeymoon right after her Aug. 27 marriage to stage, TV and movie director Sidney Lumet because she was starring "The Spa -the story of a princess seduced by a crook. The backers had hoped that the play would get such a reception on the country playhouse circuit as to bring it and Gloria this fall to a production on Broadwaysomething she has dreamed of since she was 16. But Variety, the "bible" of show business, this week described the play as "hopeless" and said of Gloria: "Decorative but otherwise at a Under! that cloud it appears unlikely anyone would put up the cash for a Long Skirts Seen In Fall Fashions The floor-length skirt has arrived in a big way for fall.

She has given acting a real try, and may continue to do so.

The reviews were fairly enthusiastic and Gloria went on to attempt to playing to bigger and more sophisticated audiences. She appeared opposite veteran Franchot Tone both in a play at New York's City Center and on a network television program. In both she seemed to freeze and this time the critics gave her a roasting. Shortly thereafter she withdrew from a part she was to play in a cowboy movie starring Frank Sinatra.

The one thing Gloria has had all her life is money handed down from her famous great-grandfather, Commodore Vanderbilt's son, William H. Vanderbilt who is perhaps best remembered for his public be damned." Her father died when she was 18 months and left in trust a fortune exceeding $4,000,000. Her wealth is probably above that today. But her childhood was a most disturbing one. She became the pawn in the celebrated custody battle between her mother and her aunt (the aunt won) and later became a ward of the state At age 14, she had an allowance of $25,750 a year.

During those years her picture appeared in the newspapers on the average of once a month, invariably of an unsmiling girl, somewhat awkward.
