'IILL CRY TOMORROW" A fine dramatic star, Susan Hayward, without a doubt, makes her finest performance in the enactment of the life story of Lillian Roth in MGM's "I'll Cry Tomorrow." The biography bi-ography of the former stage star, who is still living, is one of tragedy born of a too-early encounter with the white lights of a stage success and disappointing disap-pointing romances. Excellent support in the picture pic-ture is supplied by Jo Van Fleet as the ambitious but pathetic mother; Ray Danton, Don Taylor Tay-lor and Eddie Albert, the men in her life. Performance quality qual-ity and interest credit go partly part-ly to a new Hollywood director, Daniel Mann. Lawrence Wein-1 garten produced, and the film I is based on the book "I'll Cry !
