studio to the other, obtaining days work
now and then as an extra. When feature
western" was made at Universal he was given
work for three days. Harry Carey was again
the star. The extra did not make himself
known. 'Why should 1 inf1ict myself on
Carey?"
Absorbing all the rudiments of picture-mak-
ing possible, he was granted an interview
with young producer on Poverty Row - the
section where cheap films were made.
81 haven't much money" explained the
producer, but I'll make place for you on
the staff at $40 week."
''Suits me-" said Capra.
The producer was Harry Cohn.
After year, he told Mack Sennett of the
eager young Italian. Hes worth more than
l can afford to pay him." COIN explained.
Capra passed thirty months of intense labor
in Sennett's factory of humor. The volatile
Irishman at last selected him to direct Harry
Langdon in 1.-The Strong Man." This film was
considered one of the best of 1926, but Capra
was given small credit.
Claudette Colbert was just then emerging
from obscurity. Capra was assigned to direct
her in New York. The film was failure.
Before his retreat to Hollywood, broken in
spirit. Miss Colbert came to him.

Frank = we'll still go places together" she
said.
The kindly gesture touched him.
During the long journey across the CONT
nent he analysed his failure and concluded
that too many others had hand in the film.
The conclusion was important only to him
SELF His success with Langdon was forgotten:
his failure with Colbert remembered. He
could not go backward; he was not allowed to
60 forward.
In this quandary he was offered job with
the chemical expedition of large rubber
company bound for South America. A change
might be what he needed He was on the point
of accepting.
Again he went to see the doctor. Not one to
see failure, the doctor was enthusiastic about
his friends success in films. AFTER all, he
said, you've gone far"
But =" Capra explained his position
honestly. and asked, What shall do?"
The answer came suddenly: go back to
Harry Conn.,"
Harry COIN was then organizing small
film unit on Poverty Row to be known as
Columbia Screen Snapshots. Greetings over,
Capra said, Il want to 60 to work" Cohn
returned. "All right"
Remembering his failure with Claudette
Colbert. he asked Cohn for complete freedom
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1937-11-14

in casting, writing and directing. From so
young director the request was unusual. In
the midst of terrifying financial struggle,
Cohn did what was much more unusual - he
granted the request.
The combination soon made ripple in the
cinema sea- Six years passed before Capra
broke completely from the Hollywood for
mula He then decided to use the element of
surprise and wonder - the human touch he
had learned from o. Henry.
With this in mind. he began filming "A
Lady for Day." A departure in films. it was
a box-office smash.
He followed this picture with ut Happened
One Night" starring Claudette Colbert. the
girl with whom he had failed. A masterpiece
of light comedy. it earned the Academy
Award of 1884.
His greatest film, Lost Horizon" from
James Hilton's popular novel, will be strong
candidate for the Academy Award for 1887.
While it shows growth in Capra, it is not
his peak. Five years ago he told me, Some
day, Jim, want to direct really great
film" When reminded him of the words, he
smiled. II still do"
The doctor is still his close friend, and he
has long been Harry Carey's intimate. Tie
genial actor does not yet know that the great
director is the forgotten extra he once met.

-DwICE in three years Frank Capra has
received the Academy Award for having
directed the best picture of the year.
y The honor came in 1894 for 1T Hap
pened One Night" and again in 1896 with
MIR Deeds Goes to Town"
Born in Italy thirty-nine years ago, Capra
is one of the most successful directors of
him to the summit of understanding. His
large dark eyes have the expression of child's
in new and wondrous land.
His humor has at times touch of gusto.
at times touch of pathos.
At three years of age he arrived in America
by steerage with his peasant parents. At five
he sold newspapers in Los Angeles.
He early became interested in chemistry.
Working as waiter, editing the college paper
and playing the banjo for pay whenever
possible, he graduated as chemical engineer
at the California Institute of Technology. He
was then nineteen.
He became second lieutenant in the coast
artillery during the World War. The armistice
signed. he returned to Los Angeles. Unable to
obtain work, he wore his army uniform for
five months 1T was all l had"
He was morbidly sensitive, and the war
had brought more acutely to him the terror
and wonder of chemistry. After the long strain
of school and struggle, his inability to find
work brought on an illness that was more
mental than physical. A young doctor advised
him to 20 into the country. Chemical engineer
ing was too exact science for him.
Determined to change the course of his life,
he obtained work pruning fruit trees at
twenty cents each. Without food he went to
work. Painting from hunger, he was found
by his Italian employer. This fellow country
man took Capra to his home. An attic room
was provided for him. Once recovered, he
finished the work and remained until fall:
Late into the night he would try to write
short stories by the light of kerosene lamp.
o. Henry was his model. The technique of
that gifted author. the surprise ending, the
mixture of humor and pathos, intrigued him.
The farmer and his family moved to Oregon.
Capra accompanied them. Camping near
small town in northern California, they
watched western" being filmed.
The hero was that most dashing of all his
type - Harry Carey. Extras were needed for
the final scene. For two days the farmer and
Capra shouldered guns and fought" the
Indians. Carey took liking to young Capra.
"If YOU ever come to Hollywood look me up"
he said in parting.
Aletter from the young doctor brought him
again to California. A wealthy woman wanted
tutor for her son. He was given the position.
The idea of making career in films became
stronger. Saving $500 he made the decision of
his life and went to Hollywood.
His mother became dangerously ILL., Nearly
all his money went toward an operation. For
the next four months he wandered from one

ONE WAY TO STOP
TRANSIENT INFLUX

A veritable epidemic of petty thievery,
burglary and other offenses against the
law that has cost Imperial Valley COM
munties many hundreds of dollars in
recent weeks points clearly toward a
need for some way of controlling the
influx here of penniless transents who,
regardless of where they may be, be-
lieve that the world owes them a living.
There are two possible corrective mea-
sures, either of which might go a long
way toward controlling the situation.
The first would be refusal of all re-
lief to transients The second would be
control over the comparatively few
growers and shippers who spread word
that there is employment in Imperial
Valley. when there is not. Each mea-
sure would affect different type of
transient.
The news that no relief, but only chain
gang work, awaits transients in lmpe-
rial Valley would stem the tide of hoboes
who do not want to work, but are seek
ing only a warm climate and an easy
existence If the plan were adopted,
glaring signs could be posted at the
county's borders, informing all timer
ans that they had better steer clear OF
this territory-or take the consequences.
The news would travel rapidly over the
hobo grapevine, and the result would be
less crime and less loss for Imperial
county.
Some control over false propaganda
that work is available in Imperial Val
ley harvest fields would avert many
tragedies among class far more de-
serving of sympathy. They are the
ones who want to work, who have fami-
lies to support, and who do only COM
mon labor of the simplest kind. Because
they are misinformed, many of these
come to Imperial Valley, to form com
munity problem, the solution of which
is still in the future. Some of them
would come regardless, merely on the
hope of work, but there should be means
of stopping erroneous stories of plentl-
full employment for all in the valley.
Whether these plans are adopted
makes little difference, as long as some
method is found to solve the problem
that is not only vexing, but highly ex-
pensive.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
America Isolated Only in Military Sense

Congress may be looking forward
a balanced budget, but dark
shadow is falling across the balance
sheet-two dark shadows, in fact,
with more to come. They are cast
by the 35,000-ton battleships which
Uncle Sam is going to be building
shortly.
Battleships are complicated things
and they aren't built on lunch
money. BY the time these propos-
ed additions to the fleet are put
into commission, the country will
have spent something like $70,000,-
600 on them-with the prospect of
adding a couple of equally expen-
sive ships to the fleet every year
or so for an indefinite period.
Seventy millions isn't such tre-
mendous sum, as government hand
outs go these days. But the money
does count up. when you peel it
off your roll. in layers like that.
Without building any battleships
at all, we are spending something
like half billion on our navy this
year The battleships simply mean
that it'll be a long time before the
navy gets any cheaper.
X
Now the point of all this is that
what we can do in the way of cut
ting government expenses depends
to a very great measure on the un-,
predictable flow of events over
seas.
We aren't building that enormous
navy just for the esthetic pleasure
of looking at big gray steamboats,.
We are building it because, with
the world in the state it's in, we
know that we may need it pretty
badly one of these days.
So before we can think about
getting back to the old days when
budgets balanced themselves pain
lessly, we have 10 see whether the
outside world is going to let US
And that, in turn. is merely sam
pie of the way in which all our
plans and our actions these days
are subject to the pressure of forces
