famous parsonage He could not make
another Deeds picture without Cooper.
Incidentally speaking Of the quiet
gentleman who used to play cowboy
parts, he obviously Is Mr.. Capra's
favorite actor. No direct question
brings out that fact. It is evident in
the constant illusions to him, always
as Mr.. Cooper, when the question of
casting various pictures is concerned.
It is a comprehensive preference
Mr.. Cooper is one Of these natural
actors who plays from the inside out,
as the authorities say. Mr.. Capra
obviously is director who also works
the same way in his particular field.
To get the atmosphere OF Washing
ton. Mr.. Capra does considerable
part of the interviewing himself. He
can ask questions like a French re-
porter. searching queries which indi-
cate that he is In no mood to take
stalling for an answer. How much Of
Washington's life is favored by poll
tics? Are affairs of state as dominant
on the local scene as the picture in
dustry is in Hollywood? That is the
sort of thing about which he is curious.
You can't just say unhunh or umhunh
to questions like that. He wants to
know things with an intensity that
makes you want to give whatever little
bit of information you may have at
your disposal.
Over luncheon, the interviewing and
counter-interviewing goes on between
every mouthful of food. It develops
in its zigZag course that Mr.. Capra
is a man unafraid Of being accused Of
profaning the sacred. He would like,
for example. to make film of Maxwell
Anderson's enormously successful play,
Valley Forge" But, for all Mr.
Andersons exalted place in the drama
scheme Of things. Mr.. Capra says he
would use only one bit from the original
manuscript.
Il would take only that scene in
which the six soldiers convince Wash
ington that surrender was wrong"
says Mr.. Capra. That's a great
situation"
How about Mr.. Anderson's dia-
logue?" an admirer of the dramatist's
blank verse wants to know.
"Oh, that" says Mr.. Capra, leaving
the sentence eloquently unfinished.
Mr.. Capra will be around Washing
ton until the week end at least. On
Saturday a camera crew will arrive
to shoot some background scenes for
the picture.
We've got to have leaves on your
trees" Mr. Capra explains over the
last mouthful of the chocolate sundae
he is eating, Deeds-like, for dessert.

an accusing world that it, not he, was
the crazy one. Mr.. Capra seems like
that kind of person. When you talk
to him and get his ranging perspective
into some kind of pattern. he begins to
look like his pictures, or vice versa.
Since his pictures are rated as the best
out Of Hollywood by great many awe
inspiring authorities, they are nice
things to look like.
Mr.. Capra Is uncommonly intelli-
gent. Instead of being tall. dark and
handsome, he is short. dark and keen

like guinea pig at the slightest provo

that way. That is because he tells you
about jnterviewers. His experience on
the subject is international. He has
been quizzed by not only American, but
French, Italian, English and German
newspapermen.

very important that he have good
notion of what the city is all about

a Washington background. If Gary
