Yourselves
BY Philip H. Love.

If you'd like to meet Gary Cooper,
just drop by the sixth-grade class
room at Janney School some day.
It's only fair to tell you before
you start, however. that the Gary
Cooper I'm writing about isn't the
Gary Cooper you're thinking about.
But the Gary Cooper have In mind
is every bit as real as the other
one, as glance at the picture at
the left will prove.
Little Gary is II years old and
lives at 1851 Harrison street NV.
His father, Theodore F. Cooper,
works for the Capital Transit Co.
and his mother belongs to the Jam
ney Parent Teacher Association.
AS for big Gary-we1l, he was
playing opposite Ann Harding in
Peter Ibbetson" about the time
little Gary was being born. And,
about the time his Washington
namesake was starting at Janney,
he was riding the range in "The
Westerner."
On second thought, ''namesake"
probably isn't the word for little
Gary, as he wasn't named after the
movie star His parents "just
wanted a name that was different
they say, and Gary seemed to fill
the bill
Little Gary's favorite movies are
westerns. He wants a ponv so he
can learn to ride as we'll as big Gary.
And the "love stuff" that finds it's
way into some of big Gary's films
gives him pain In the neck.
Recently. little Gary saw re-
issue of Northwest Mounted Po-
lice and, he reports. liked it fine"
He also enjoyed Sergeant York"
and Pride of the Yankees" AS to
how he likes Lilli Palmer, the British
star who makes her American debut
in big Gary's latest movie, "Cloak
and Dagger" he refuses to say His
attitude seems to be that if Lilli is
OK with big Gary. why should little
Gary object?
Of course, he has had to take
some kidding about his name-but
not too much. He realizes that
publication of the photo at the left
may result in more kidding, but
.that1l be OK, too. After all, posing
for the picture, in the lobby of the
Earle Theater, was the closest he
has come so far to meeting big
Gary.
