Van Hef lin next fall will quit movies for a possible three years and toss away at least j $1 2 5,0 0 0 in 1 "the biggest gambl? of my career to act in front of a live aud ience. Heflin is fol lowing the crowd of film stars who have Aline Mosby taken over Broadway marquees with no no ticeable scars. But while many movie personalities prefer to sail in and out of a play to get back to big movie money, Heflin has promised to stick with his venture if it's a hit for three years. The actor is investing in the play, making the venture a two way risk. In fact, the way he figures it, including moving the family house to New York, he may come out in the red from this stage try. "From a career stand point it's the logical course in development," he explained to day. "I'd rather be better on the stage than mediocre in pic tures. Miller Play "Fortunately now I'm in a fi nancial position where I can af ford to go back to Broadway. And, of course, I can profit a great deal prestige- wise by go ing back to the theater in a hit." " The play Heflin has signed to do is "A View from the Bridge" by Arthur Miller of "Death of a Salesman" fame. Actually it consists of two one-act plays. In the first the actor will take a relatively small role. "Most actors want to make a personal appearance and prove you're an actor," he said. "Un fortunately, this is a lousy time to do it, when things are going good for me here. If the. play is a hit, I'll be off the screen for possibly three and a half years. "I signed for the national tour of the play. I prefer touring. It's exciting to meet people in these various towns. You learn what they like about motion pictures and you never learn by sitting on your fat behind in Hollywood or New York." Devoted Folk Heflin has burned down Broadway roles for years, includ ing-"The Shrike." because "of the many sacrifices involved." In fact, listening to him tote up the losses involved I can see why stage actors must be de voted folk who don't mind doing without swimming pools, sun shine, fat paychecks and easy film emoting to face those open ing night critics on Broadway. Heflin and his wife, Francis, will pack up and move to New York for what they hope will be a long run of the play. The only problem is the horse he bought for their daughter, Kathy 8. "It costs a fortune to keep a horse in hay in New York," he sighed. "But we can't leave the horse here. Kathy would be so disappointed."
