PAGE FIVE X Jt QUEEN VICTORIA NO PRIG IS OF HELEN HAYES Actress Declares 'Victorian' Label An Injustice Says Husband Acted As Check On Frivolous Side. By WILLARD KEEFE Associated I'resi Dramatic Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (AP) -Queen Victoria has for a monument an adjective synonymous with prlgglah- ness and prud ery, but Helen Hayes holds the "Vlctorlpn" that labels the period as an injustice. "I think." said Miss Hayes, "that had not Victoria married Albert she would have been a very friv olous queen. He was her check rein." Miss Hayes happens, at the moment, to be mbusm haves the most active authority on the queen. She Is Impersonating her with remarkable success in Laurence Hous- man'a play. "Victoria Reglna." but long before this she found release In her admiration In collecting Victorian oddities. Wore Gay Clothes "I live In a Victorian age." she ex plained, "with Victorian furnltura. There are two paintings of Victoria in my room." In a plaid dressing robe boy's size she sat In the tiny ante-room of her dressing quarters In the Broad hurst theater. On the walls were prints and tapestries of the sober faced queen. "Go to the British museum," she counseled, "and look at the clothes she chose for herself. Bright colors, exquisite and rost feminine. She loved to dar.ce, you know. She de signed them. She had a vast admi ration for Mary Stuart, and proud to be descended from her which she wasn't so she popularized the Mary Stur.rt bonnet. "But It's easy to understand why people are surprised to learn this about her. Alter Albert's death, for the greater part of her reign, she wore mourning." Freed of the ponderous trappings of the 80-year-old queen, Miss Hayes Is direct spoken, frank and shrewd. She has a twin satisfaction In her hit, for her acclaimed performance I and for a play suitable to take on tour. Enjoys Tourlnc "I enjoy touring," she said. MZt 1 so much pleasure to feel that people will suffer Inconvenience to come to your play. "what I mean la that here, in New York, people just come. Last season, when I was out with 'Mary of Scot land,' a couple came to tell me they had driven ISO miies to see the play. Those things do make tour thrill ing." Now about Vincent Price, who plays the prince consort. Was he her selection? "He was." she smiled, "but not al together. In London, Mr. Housman sent me a message saying he wouldn't give me the play unless I took him. So. I suppose, he was my choice." Price, a St. Louis boy and Yale alumnus, was studying German art In London when he was chosen, because of hit remarkable resemblance to Prince Albert, to appear In the role In a private performance. She Is quite convinced he Is the one actor for the part. She is definitely through with pic tures. She Isn't Impatient with them, merely too busy. She has her tours and her radio. "The radio," she confided, "Is not only profitable, but It lets me havj my cake and eat it. It alio.. me to keep my picture public without go ing to Hollywood."
