Story of Late
Helen Morgan
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK. April 17 laWHere
is a story of two women, one
quite typical of the moderate
ISM's and the other a symbol of
the immoderate infi.
First, meet Polly Bergen, a
beautiful young woman, talented
as a singer end actress, a happy
wife and mother. .
Next, remember Helen Morgan,
who rose from poverty to great
wealth and fame singing the blues
from the top of a piano la the
days of prohibition and died .at
41, aa unhappy and forgot tea pan-
P0a May IS. Miss Bergea win
play the role of Mis Morgsn,
singing her torch' songs and re
enacting her frenetic life ia "The
Helea Morgsn Story" on "Play
house SO" CBS-TV, I N p.m. EST.
Interestingly, Miss Bergen herself
bought the television rights to the
story from Miss Morgan mother,
Lulu, for $10,000. Interestingly.
too, "Playhouse eg" will produce
it before Warner Bros, has com
pleted a movie version of "The
Helea Morgan Story" starring
Ana Blythe. ,
Petty Sang Like Helen
I never saw Helen Mors an or
beard bar sing.' Miss Bergea said
the other day. "But a few years
ago people who knew her began
telling mo I worked like Helen
Morgan as aa actress, that is. ra
ther than a singer. One of the most
popular things I did in supper
clubs was aa imitation of her.
"One night about a year and a
nan age when I was singing in
the Persies Room at the Plasa a
small, gray-haired lady stopped
me as I left the floor and said,
"you re wonderful. You sine so
much like Helea did.' I asked if
she'd known ber and she told me
she was Helen s mother. I knew
that Warner Bros, had owned the
movie rights to Helen's life for
years and. as I thought it over,
I began - wondering: why not do
nei tarn on nievwoor' '
The blue-eyed, brunette Vise
Bergea began negotiations through
her business agent after It develop
ed that Warner Bros, hsd neglect
ed to acquire TV as well ss movie
rights. Meanwhile, she turned
down an offer to teat for the movie
role chiefly because she does not
wish to be absent a long time
from ber husband, daughter and
nemo m flew York. ;
Helea Marfan Died Peer : '
Evea in bare outline Helea
Morgan's life indeed is fascinat
ing. Born ia Danville, 111., she
worked at such Jobs ss packing
crackers and selling ribbons until
she took a modeling job in Mon
treal. Chosen "Miss Mount Royal"
there, she swept off to New York
to be crowned as a "Canadian
beauty" and was quickly signed
tiy Biuy Rose as a singer ia a
small aighj spot, the Backstage
Club.
She drew such crowds that she
could scarcely be seen or heard.
One night the late Ring Lardner
lifted her from the floor and
perched ber oa a piano. So ber
top-of-the-piano trademark was
bom. In George White's Scandals
of 1925 she achieved stsrdom.
Carefree and generous, Helen
Morgan made and lost s counle
of millioa dollars in ber vounc
lifetime. She wa married twice.
Wfaea she attempted a comeback
with a George White productioa
ia Chicago, she was taken ill with
a liver ailment. She died in Hen
rotln Hospitsl ia Chicagd in 1S41
at the age of 41, a pauper. The Ac
