Dear Mae Tinée: Isn't it too, too bad when " the enjoyment of a film " such as "Son of the Sheik," with Rudolph Valen. tino, must be Hampered by the compara- tive imperfections of old movie mechanics? This quotation is from Mrs. Beulah Bark-
er's letter in the Voice of the Movie Fan. If the wonderful movie industry would give to the screen again some personalities just haif as distinctive and worth looking at as Rudy and many others of the silent pictures we could well dispense with ail the so-called new perfections being folsted upon us. All that Hollywood movies are composed of today are new perfections, million-dollar picture pay rolls, and a set of the most thoroughly unindividual look- ing and acting movie stars ever collected in one place.
I'm only 24, but with a good memory, and I know that the silent plctures and their players had something that made you a movie fan, and that has gone since talking pictures came in.
So bring back all of Valentino's films, and though we'll sigh and sob at the lack of new perfections, we will have something good to look at! Sincerely,
MISS L. CARLISLE. Editor's note: " Amen! " will say many readers of your letter.
Dear Miss Tinée: Wlil you please tell me who was the leading man in Joan Crawford's "I Live My Life " ? I saw the picture a few years ago, and I just can't. recall the leading man. I remain,
MISS ANGELYNE KLEMISH. Waucoma, Ia.
Editor's note: Brian Aherne played op- posite Joan Crawford in the above film.
Dear Miss Tinée: Bouquets to two of the best " picture snatchers" I have seen in a coon's age, namely, Lew Ayres and Melville Cooper in "Holiday " and "The Adventures of Robin Hood " respectively. Ayres' characterization of the alcoholic Ned should certainly win him the Academy award for the best supporting actor of 1938.
Not to mention Melville Cooper, who could walk caimiy in and steal a scene
completely from such opposition as Basil Rathbone and Claude Rains and even Errol Flynn himself. His ludicrous speeches and pompous ways, which van- ished so completely when either of the two vlilains scolded him, had me in stitches most of the time. More power to the two of them. Here's hoping they go even far- ther. Sincerely, S. E.
Editor's note: " Picture snatchers " al. ways add a lot to observers' enjoyment, though they probably bring very little sunshine into the lives of the stars.
Dear Miss Tinée: The facts you give are most interesting. We are constant movie goers, and we have our likes and dislikes In the stars.
Could you please print a smail picture of Jane Wyman, who played in "The Crowd Roars"? We think she did an excellent job with that siily part. Thanks, MARY JANE KRAJEWSKI. Editor's note: Here's a picture of Jane.
JANE WYMAN Praisad for good work In a silly part.
Dear Miss Tinée: Would you please print a brief biography of William Hopper, the son of Hedda Hopper? Thanking you, I am JEANNE IRWIN.
Editor's note: Here are facts about Wil- liam: He was born in New York City, Jan. 26, 1915. He's 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, and has green eyes and dark brown hair. Educated Raymond
Riordan school and Catalina School for Boys. Appeared on the stage before enter- ing motion pictures.
Dear Miss Tinée: Could you please tell me if George Brent, who played In " God's Country and the Woman," also played the part of the husband to the missionary in "West of Shanghai" ? Thank you so much. MRS. G. P. HUNGER.
Burlington, Ia.
Editor's note: Oeorge Brent did not appear in "West of Shanghai." Ricardo Cortez played the role of the missionary's husband in this film. Glad to help you.
Dear Miss Tinée: I am replying to the letter written by Francine Smart. She said you were not compelled to sit through a double feature. Weil. what do you do when you come in at the beginning of the one you don't like? I wish she would answer that. I am ali against double fea- tures!
Sincerely, MARY E. CALLOPY.
Editor's note: You might phone the theater for the time each feature starts.
Dear Mae Tinée: I thought you might like these:

Hollywood, Cal. 'Y "OU ASK why it is movie stars often get them- selves jammed up on ac. count of bad publicity," com- mented Norma Shearer. "Well, take an experience I had In New York. The M-G-M publicity men arranged a series of inter- views. I was delighted to be interviewed. Publicity is of vital importance to any performer. This one chap walked in, and it didn't require a psychic to know that he had come there to write a certain kind of story about me. 'How much money have you in the bank and in stocks, Miss Shearer? ' was his first question. 'How old are you, on the level? ' was his second question. Then he pointed at two bracelets I was wearing and said, 'How much are those worth?' I told him that the bracelets had been given to me as a wedding present and that I'd never gone out and priced them. In answer to his question about how much money [ had in the bank I told him that it wasn't enough to support or fulfill my obligations if I were thrown out of work. To laugh off the whole thing, I summed up by assuring him pleasantly that I wasn't as old or as rich or as shrewd as some people imagined. "The next day there was a four-column head on page one: Shearer Denles She's as Oid, as Rich, or as Shrewd as Fans Imagine.' Now, I've been in this business long enough to know that newspaper men must get a story and that bad news too often is good news, but I think that a writer if he half tried could get a truer story than that, honestly I do.
"It reminds me of an old French Canadi- an story of the neighbor who decided to go next door and borrow a lawn mower. He started away from his door, and before he'd left his porch he started guess- ing what the owner of the lawn mower would answer. 'He prob- abiy won't give it to me at ail,' he guessed. He walked a few feet farther. 'The old skinflint has a lot of nerve refusing to loan me his lawn mower.' By the time he reached his neigh- bor's door he was burning up. When the owner of the lawn mower opened his door the would-be borrower shouted indig- nantly, 'To hell with you and your old lawn mower!' and stalked away in high dudgeon. I think that newspaper men often approach movie perform- ers in that frame of mind. They start disliking us before we meet. "If they'd just realize that we're just as scared of them as they are critical of us.It would make it a lot easier for us and for them."
The more time you spend with Norma Shearer the more you get to like her. She has a swell sense of humor, she doesn't take herself seriously, she likes crowds, she is always willing to
CLAUDETTE Claudette Col-
COLBERT bert Is all for white lies. She says one launched her suc- cessfui career. She told Pro- ducer Brock Pemberton she'd had several years' experience in stock, when she had played only one small part. As a result he gave her the lead in " The Marionette Man."
Miss Colbert was born in Paris, France. The family came to New York when she was 6 and she received her schooling in New York. She did designing, taught French, and finally landed on the stage. Her first starring part was in " A Kiss in a Taxi." Her first movie, "For the Love of Mike," was made in New York. "It Happened One "light" won Academy awards fu" both her and Clark Gable.
Important movies -" The Gilded Lily," "Frivate Worlds," "She Married Her Boss."
Miss Colbert is 5 fee( 5, weighs 103 pounds, has .ed- dish brown hair and eyes, and is married to Dr. Joel Press man.
JAMES Six feet two an ! STEWART one - half inches of gangling young manhood, a shy, dis- arming smile, a shock of brown hair that doesn't like to stay in piace, and a pair of gray eyes as friendly and trusting as a Newfoundland puppy's have wedged James Stewart tightly into the hearts of fans.
Mr. Stewart was born May 20, 1911, in Indiana, Pa. His parents, nonprofessionals, are Elizabeth and Alexander Stewart. He was educated at Mercersburg academy and Princeton university. He began his stage career play. ing with a Cape Cod stock company, later appearing on Broadway in "Yellow Jack" and other plays. He was stage manager in Boston for Jane Cowl in "Camille."
Outstanding work in a short subject attracted pro- ducerial eyes, and James' per- formance in "Rose Marie" established him as a clever and dependable actor. Since then he has been greatly in demand. His most notable pictures you will recall as "Rose Marie," "The Gorgeous Hussy," "The Last Gang- ster," "Seventh Heaven," "Navy Blue and Gold, "Of . Human Hearts," and " Viva- cious Lady." Not married.
Miss Shearer as Marie Antoinette.

CAPPS JABEZ Sr. was born in Lon- don, England, on tbe 9th day of Septem- ber, 1796. His father, Charles Capps, was of Saxon descent. His mother was de- scended from the Huguenots. His father, though living in London, under the shadow of the throne, possessed the warmest feel- ings for the American colonies, then in their infancy and making vigorous strides for freedom. Attaining his majority, Ja- bez Capps left his home, and, after a three months' voyage, landed in Boston. From that city he went to New York and Phila- delphia, and after remaining a short time in each place, he, with one other, Mr. Barker, proceeded on. foot over the moun- tains to Pittsburgh. Here they embarked on a flat-boat and floated down the Ohio
to Cincinnati. Mr. . Capps remained here engaged in various employments two years, when he went to Louisville. Remaining there but a short time, he walked to St. Louis, as steamboats were seldom seen on the western waters, and on their approach were always the signal for the gathering of the populace. In 1820, Mr. Capps crossed the Father of Waters into the new State of Illinois, the wealth of whose prairies he had often heard described by traders, and entered what was then known as the St. Gamey country settling at Calhoun, now Springfield. His occupation here was teaching school, first at Clark's old mill on the south fork of Sangamon River, where he held the pioneer school of Sangamon Co. His second school was in Sprinfield, it being the first school in that place. Not liking this occupation for a life work, he engaged in the manufacture of shoes and boots, and opened soon after one of the first stores in the present state capital. In 1829, he was married to Miss Prudy Ann Stafford. By this marriage he became the father of four children: Thomas, Charles, Ebenezer and Oliver, all of whom are liv - ing, save Thomas, who died while young. Mr. Capps purchased a log house of Ste- phen Stillman, the first postmaster in Springfield, and in that kept an assortment of the various articles needed by the pioneers. Not meeting with the success he anticipated, and finding it very difficult, if not impossible to collect from all his cus- tomérs, many of whom lived in what is now Logan Co. Mr. Capps determined to sell, and seek a new location. He had for a while met with good success, and had established a branch store at Vandalia. But circumstances already mentioned, Jackson's bank veto, and consequent hard times in the west, induced him to take this step. Meanwhile Dr. Shields, his brother- in-law, then a practitioner in Springfield, had been making professional calls at Nicolas Moore's in the settlements on Salt Creek and the Lake Fork, and returning from one of these trips, described to Mr. Capps a beautiful location for a town on the prairie between Salt Creek and Lake Fork. Dr. Barton Robinson, who was in an adjoining room, heard the description and became interested. "Soon after, a com-

pany was formed, consisting of Jabez Capps, G. W. Turley, and Dr. Robinson, and in August, 1836, these persons, with Thomas Skinner as surveyor, came to the present site of Mt. Pulaski and laid out the village. Early in the spring preceding, Mrs. Capps had died, and Mr. Capps knowing the need of a helpmeet in his new home, in September married Miss Eliza- beth Baker, and the next morning after the wedding set out for his prairie home. He had rented a small cabin of Jerry Burks, who lived near the timber, and having removed it to the summit of the mound, placed his family therein on his arrival. This was a small one-story cabin. He im- mediately had erected a story and a half frame, the lower story of which he used for a store, the upper for a dwelling. In the log and frame structure he kept a charac- teristic frontier store several years. This becoming too small, he erected a frame quite a commodious house for those days This was used similarly as the log struc- ture, which had occupied. the site of the present post-office building. By his second marriage Mr. Capps became the father of ten children: John H., Prudence, wife of S. Linn Beialer, who for many years has been post master here; Mary, wife of Michael McNattin; William, Benjamin D., Jabez Jr., Edward, Frank - who died in early youth - Harry and Maud. Mr. Capps lived about two years in his fron- tier home before another family joined him on the Mount. For several items concerning the early settlement of Mt. Pul- aski, the reader is referred to the history elsewhere in this book, where some inter- esting details may be found. In a few years Mr. Capps had established a prosper- ous trade and commanded custom for many miles in all directions. This busi- ness he pursued successfully until 1858 when he retired from the mercantile busi- ness, and with his son Charles, entered largely into the horticultural business. He has always had a fondness for this pursuit, and even now in his old age, he loves to work in his beautiful nursery in the north part of the town. Mr. Capps' life has been varied. He has seen many great changes in our nation. He has seen the infant State of Illinois grow to the fourth state
in the Union, and the prairies which were wild when he, a young man, first saw them, to be covered with farms, and prosperous industries. Although Mr. Capps is 81 years of age, his hearing and vision are good, and his strength seems hardly abated. Capps Jabez Jr. lives with his father, Mt. Pulaski; rep; Uni; born in Logan Co.
