It is about a 21-year-old "Darling" girl Southern instead of British who decides, for kicks, to make a rather weak, childlike, but talented youth her own age into a recording artist. She is like Professor Higgins in "My Fair Lady" only the (exes arc reversed. Gordon maintains his was the influence which turned Sondra into an actress.

Globe critic recommends By MARJORY ADAMS Cinderella stories have a way of turning true in Hollywood -and not just on film. Sondra Locke was a thin, shy, not too smartly dressed high school girl in Shelbyyille, Tenn.

She was not considered "date material" by the young Lotharios of her class, and was avoided like the pest when it came to selecting a heroine for the senior class play, "Tammy, Tell Me True." However, she had one loyal companion, a boy named Gordon Anderson, who never went out for football or baseball, and was looked on at school as rather an odd type who spent his time with his girl friend, Sondra, reading plays, studying paintings, experimenting on theatrical costumes and otherwise acting like a "drip." Nobody expected they'd ever amount to anything certainly Sondra was the last girl in the world who'd ever make cheer leader at the school games. She didn't have glamour, the boys said indifferently. IN A TIZZY And now, with her performance of Mick Kelly In "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter," coming to the tleman. Tm sorry he had trouble with the producer and decided not to direct the film. FOSES No-one expected that one New York enthusiast would think Sondra might be a "blonde Audrey Hepburn." She is still surprised and bewildered by the fact that since the role was offered to her and since the picture had its New York premiere she has been Interviewed or photographed by 70 different people.

Gordon helped design the costumes in which she poses as some of the great ladies of the 6tage and screen. Sondra has no desire to be a star, but she does want to be an important actress so she can choose her own roles. She watches young players Joan Hackett, for instance and as she tries to copy their gestures and expressions as part of her theatrical studies, she wonders if she can ever be that good. Her husband, who married her after she won the screen role but before she made the picture, is sure there isn't anything she can't do in the way of acting. If she can't quite make the grade he's there to tell her how.

relax completely there's "The Odd Couple" at the Circle Cinema a movie that's shaping up into a box office triumph. If yon want to think, there's "The Fifth Horseman Is Fear" at Symphony Cinema 1. This is a story of terror but with ideas for the intellectual And if you want a combination of horror and beauty try "Hagbard and Signe" at the Abbey Cinema. There are others, to fit every mood yon happen to be in, but no new attraction of great worth.

IN LUCK Gordon knew what the 14-year-old Mick should look like and he went to work. He painted a sunburned nose and freckled face on the understanding girl friend. Then he fixed her hair in a pigtail She wore scuffed sandals and appeared to be a female Huckleberry Finn. She even was coached in scratching her nose occasionally. But he didn't tell her how to read the role.

"I knew she'd be better than any of the others in that department," said Anderson. They were in luck, when Marion Dougherty, who cast the girls in "The World of Henry Orient," urged them to see Joseph Strick in New Orleans. At that time he was to direct "Lonely Hunter." They had no money for a hotel, no way to get air transportation, but they rode in a beat-up jalopy all night, bummed a place to fix up, and arrived at the Strick hotel suite the first thing in the morning. "I'm smart. I'm very smart.

I fooled Joe Strick," said Anderson. "And when he found out that Sondra really wasn't that unsophisticated 14 and it was a put-on, he was pleased I fooled him.

Elizabeth Hartman, Somebody said she was all three rolled up into one slim blonde bundle of talent and excitement And Gordon also slim and blond, wears his cropped hair in a manner which might be as good for a girl as a boy is practically in a tizzy over his young bride's success. After the raves came out in New York Gordon called his grandmother in Shelbyville. "Tell the boy next door the one who was always insisting Sondra was scrawny and homely that in New York they say she's one of the new great beauties," he said.

"She's an Elvira Madigan." To Gordon, also 22, who was expected to turn into an acting success long before his wife did, things didn't happen the wsy they both planned, but he is not downcast. He is studying acting determinedly while Sondra goes on her personal appearance tour.

So now is the time to see one of those pictures you've been prom-ising yourself to see before it leaves town. If the day Is hot and humid and you want to Audible audience To the Editor: I am getting weary of young men garbed like panhandlers or hippies who appear in leading roles in films these days. Is it true that the so-called Ivy League look is a thing of the past, and unkempt hair, dirty shoes and tieless shirts are a mark of the popular young man of 1968 I read that in his new film that idol of the younger set, Dustin Hoffman, appears "unshaven, red-eyed, dressed in a seedy, ill-fitting raincoat." If that is true, how come? Why can't we go back to having young men dress attractively in clothes that are smart as well as becoming? Maiden D.W.

NOTE: I agree with you that young men look better in neat clothes that fit them, but the trend appears to be for unconventional garb. It's the hippie influence, I suppose. Anyway, Hoffman's character in his new picture, "Midnight Cowboy" calls for him to look really disreputable. His nickname is Ratso and he plays a down at the heels, petty confidence man. He is supposed to have a game leg, be sickly, and live in a condemned tenement house.

Hoffman loves the part considers he is proving his dramatic versatility. M.L.A.

Recent volumes, however, seem to be shifting from full-sweep analyses to more sharply focused studies. Thus Wheaton concentrates on the period of Hit ler's accession to power and his amazingly swift and successful consolidation pf 'that power. We are all so familiar with the world shaking events of the later years which brought the challenge of world domination and the atrocities pf the Final Solution that little or no attention is given to the buds from which these deadly flowers blossomed. Yet, as common sense should tell us, here is where it all began and where, if it was to be stopped, the attempt had to be made. Reading Wheaton's recapitulation one is shaken again be the realization that not only was no serious opposition forthcoming, but time and time again, those very1 forces of decency and honor from whom it should have come actually contributed to the Nazi takeover.

Churches and courts, scientists and greats of the literary and musical worlds, political and military leaders all hastened to affirm their support for the new regime IRONIC TOUCH And few indeed were the vpices raised to protect those who fell afoul of the state authority because they were to slow to join the chorus or who were excluded from that happy band by ideological or "racial" barriers raised against them.

Perhaps the most ironic touch of all lies in the fact that the only real threat was presented by Rpehm and his SA, an original part of the Nazi apparatus and one that actually seemed to exceed the "orthodox" line in its crude denial of basic human rights and dignity to the opponents of the Mpvement. The author is not a professional historian, but he has done his work well. Perhaps he is too strongly inclined to accept a "diabolical" explanation of Hitler's success, thereby suggesting something of an "evil man theory" of history. This is altogether too easy an out' if this tragic account tells us anything at all, it is that the combination pf catastrophic events and human weakr.ess can bring even a great nation to the point of destroying itself and its most hallowed traditions. It was vaguely disconcerting for me to read of some of the restrictive and punitive steps taken in the name of law and order in Germany in the early thirties and then to read the words of an eminent Boston jurist equating dissent in America today with the crime of treason.

Several chapters take the form pf a "chronicle" providing a day by day sometime hour by hour account of events in the present tense. Obviously intended to introduce a note of suspense, this does not really come off. Instead, it struck this reader as a somewhat annoying bit of literary gimmickry. There is an occasional woodenness of style, but this is not enough to detract seriously from an otherwise interesting and valuable account. The other little volume complements the "prelude to calamity" nicely.

Translated from the German, it presents brief summaries of dreams reported to the author by Germans during the period from 1933-1939. There was nothing systematic about her collection of dream experiences (for obvious reasons this would not have been possible), but they are recounted here as illustrations of recurrent themes reflecting the impact of life in a threatening totalitarian order upon the fearful and helpless individual. The Bettelheim essay expands the author's concentration upon the manifest content of the dreams reported to her by suggesting the latent dream thoughts they reveal. The additional insights this provides are undoubtedly valid and valuable in their own right, but, like the author, I find the manifest context that is, the dream events themselves sufficiently significant at the level of description and interpretation she chose to employ. Deliberately avoiding ex tended application of the various and controverted dream theories, she was content to treat these as "almost corscious dreams" whosa backgrounds are clearly visible and in which "what lies on their surface lies also at their wt" Uii.iDQX C.
