Cowfcoy floes Keep a Movie
Profile from Getting Too Big'
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, March 9 U.R Every Hollywood actor should play
a movie cowboy at least once a year, Jimmy Stewart said today.
The role keeps a gent from getting neurotic.
There's nothing like a little game of cowboys and Indians to
keep a movie profile from getting too big for its britches,
Stewart said.
'It does something for an ac
tor," drawled the lanky gent
whose frame is custom-built for
skin-tight blue jeans. "You take
off your tux or your British
tweeds and -crawl into a pair
of chaps and a gun belt and . .
well ... all of a sudden some
thing happens to you inside."
Gives a guy that "Hopalong
Cassidy" feeling, it does. And
anybody knows there's nothing
better'n that.
"I'm a sharpshootin' cowpoke
in this," Stewart said on the
set of his latest film. "Feel like
I could like the world."

Stewart makes a very fine
looking cowpoke He is also a
recent bridegroom, which might
account for that top-of-the-world
feeling.
"No kidding," said the bride-
groom-cowpoke. "Getting out on
the open plains with a rifle and
a western hat is good for a man.
Sort of restores his balance be
tween the everyday world of
modern movies and the world
of the sagebrush."
Stewart thinks too many Hol
lywood heroes turn up their
Grecian profiles at rootin'-toot-in'
western roles, believing they
are beneath the talents of a he
man lover.
'Heck," said Stewart. "Those
are the kind of guys I call the

To Legion Meet
Spokane, March 9 (U.R) Govs.
Arthur B. Langlie of Washington
and Douglas McKay of Oregon
today were to address 300 dele
gates here for the opening ses
sion of the three-day American
Legion Western National Eco
nomic conference.
Representatives from 30 farm,
business, labor, educational and
veterans' group in 11 western
states were on hand.
Robert D. Morrow of Brandon
Miss., chairman of the Legion's
agriculture and conservation
committee, said the conference
will devote most of its atten
tion to farm and conservation
problems.
"For the first time in Legion
history, we have become in
terested in soil problems," Mor
row said. "With so many veter
ans seeking farm opportunities
throughout the nation today, the
Legion believes that a coordi
nated program between the or
ganization and other farm and
conservation groups will be
in the interests of the nation as
a whole."
Secretary of the Interior Os
car Chapman and Govs. Earl
Warren of California, C. A. Rob
ins of Idaho and John W. Bonner
of Montana were forced to can
cel their speaking engagements
because of press of business.

Used to feel that way him
self, he said. Then somebody
talked him into a pasture oper
etta called "Destry Rides
Again." he star in the other
saddle in that one was a gor
geous cowgirl name of Marlene
Dietrich.
"And I figures," Stewart
shrugged, "if a gal like Mar
lene could start chewing sage
brush, there was no reason why
I shouldn't have a fling at it
And by the time I'd finished, I
was ready to walk into any Bev
erly Hills drawing room in a
pair of levis and a 10-gallon
hat.
"I was an uninhibited actor
at last!"
Stewart said half the male

the box-office.
And then again, there's al

were so many inhibited actors
around.
