BIT MEDFORD (OREGON) MATL TRIBUNE Friday. March 10. 1950 ....AROUND HOLLYWOOD ly VIRGINIA MacPHERSON Unlt.d fnu Corr.ipoad.nl Hollywood, Mar. 10 U.R) Ev ery Hollywood actor should play a movie cowboy at least once a year, jimmy Stewart said today. The role keeps agent from getting neurotic. There's noth ing Tike a little game of cow boys and Indi ans to keep a movie profile from getting too b 1 2 for Virginia. i t s breeches, BhcPherw Stewart said. "It does something for an actor," 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 bettern n that. "I'm a sharpshootin' cowpoke in this," Stewart said on the set of his latest film. "Feel like I could lick 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. Good For A Man "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 Gre cian profiles at. rootin-'tootin' western roles, believing they're beneath the talents of a he-man lover. "Heck." said Stewart. "Those are the kind of guys I call the 'drawing room boys.' They've balanced a cup of tea on one knee and a blonde on the other so long they don't want to try anything else." Used to feel that way himself, he said. Then somebody talked him into a pasture operetta called "Destry Rides Again." The star in the other saddle in that one was a gorgeous cowgirl name of Marlene Dietrich. Uninhibited Actor "And I figured," 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 iair of Levis and a 10-gallon mt. "I was an uninhibited actor at last!" Stewart said half the male population of Hollywood is itch ing to hope on the chuck wagon. For one thing, westerns are al ways cinch money-makers at the box-office. And then, again, there's always that lick-your-neurosis feeling. And this is the first time we ever suspected there were so many uninhibited actors around. Alleged Death Note Introduced At Trial Frankfurt, Germany, Mar. 10 (U.R) A note in which Mrs. Yvette Madsen allegedly wrotp that she was going to shoot her husband was read today at her murder trial. Mrs. Madsen, 22, a Brooklyn brunette, is on trial charged with shooting Lt. Andrew Mart sen, 32, a U. S. air force pilot, at their Frankfurt home October 20. Prosecutor Worth B. McCauley read into the trial record a my; lerious note, often mentioned in the case but never before made public. It was found in the Mad sen home after the fatal shoot ing which followed a drinking party at the home of a fellow officer. The note, which he said was written by Mrs. Madsen, said she intended to shoot her husband because he was going to "beat me up." Kidnaped Manila Man Released Unharmed Manila. P. I.. Mar. 10 (U.R) A kidnaped Manila businessman was released unharmed today af ter his family paid a $50,000 ransom. The victim. Vicente Araneta. president of the Ramie Develop ment corporation, identified his kidnapers as guerrillas who fought the Japanese during the war.

Later, however, he learned they were not, he said. 1 Uia Mull Tribune Want Ada DROPiUcoio WATERY MISERY fern iniiiiiiiiii 2 drops of Penetro Now Drop f in eacn noiiru reauce waiery flow, ioothe raw membranei.
