This is the first of three articles. By CYNTHIA LOWRY WESTPORT. Conn. AP) - "When I was ill. I thought that my emotional life was over for good, says Gene Tierney. "That was not true. I'm well now, with plenty of hope and plenty of chance to find happiness." Happiness to this beautiful green-eyed woman means the op portunity to resume her acting career, to bring up her 10-year old daughter in peace and sec urity and, if the right man comes along, to fall in love and marry again. For most mf the past three years, Gene Tierney has been a patient In two mental institutions. For six or seven years before that, she had been ill and because she de terminedly ignored the symptoms, grew constantly worse. - But at the end of the summer Miss Tierney, with passport of '. health and visas to a new world Bowl Dance Plans Made WEED Final plans for the No vember 29 Mt.

Behind her are almost 20 years of personal tragedy heartbreak, crisis and, curiously for a famous and successful motion picture star, failure. Ahead of her, she feels strongly, lie the serene, pro ductive years of her life. She is now 38. Gene's sultry, exotic beauty shot her to stardom before she was 20. In the 14 years between mO and 1954 she made some 30 films, was rated one of Holly wood's top box office names. Her mental breakdown, however, can not be scored as another black mark against the West Coast film city. "My doctors say that my career had absolutely nothing to do with my illness," says Miss Tierney. "They tell me I handled it as a mature person." Perhaps the most Important lesson I had to learn was to ad mit and accept defeat," she ex plains. "In the other days I felt I had to stand up to any situation and take it. I felt I had to put up with the impossible and try to resolve it. I had to learn to say. I can t solve that: I give up. Hollywood, . however, provided the dramatic background against which Gene silently had secretly fought a losing battle against the steadily worsening illness. When she finally surrendered, it was aft er a scries of emotional blows which, in succession, involved her close relationship with her beloved father, her first-born child and her husband. Still under age, but an impor tant film star. Gene met, fell in love and eloped to Las Vegas with Oleg Cassini, now a famous New York dressmaker but then a struggling studio designer. An un known then, Cassini was notable for an obsolete White Russian title inherited from his mother's fam ily and the fact he had briefly been the fourth husband of a rich patent medicine heiress. The elopement precipitated a family crisis. The Tierneys had been a well-to-do New York and Connecticut family of some social standing. The marriage ended the guar dianship of Tierney pere, and quarrels about this and other mat ters permanently alienated Gene from him, Soon 'DENNIS THE MENACE" 3 FT! 11!

Clancy spent 10 years as a busi nessman following his graduation from Notre Dame in 1921. In 1931 his wife, Grace, agreed to his dream of opening a camp for kids with speech defects. The couple made a down payment on a' 26-acre site at Northport and named it Shdy Trails . During the first summer four boys enrolled and total receipts amounted to $925. Last year 85 boys were on hand and the camp budget was $42,000. Some 1,600 boys in all have attended the eight-week sessions. Originally all camp activities centered around a leased hotel which had been abandoned during the depression. Today 17 buildings accommodate 90 boys. Clancy, says the camp s primary objective is to build confidence. If a young fellow can t speak right he loses confidence in prac tically everything he does. We emphasize sports at Shady Trails and close contact with others who have speech problems. We've found that this helps build confidence. Building confidence is what It does.
