A fun read:

Uhhm,..can't make that out,...too small.

And that's what makes it a fun read.

It's a JPEG from a PDF file from an online newspaper archive. I have no idea how to enlarge it.

Did you read it there? Do you have a link to the archive?

Yes, I have a link, but it's a membership-only site.

I guess you did use the acrobat reader to export jpeg images from the pdf ... when you are at the "save as" window there is a options button for the quality.

I see. Would you be kind enough to give the publication, title, date and author's name. It may show up on one of the free sites and if not I can drop by one of my neighbors who is a writer and subscribes to all of the news archives.


And next time don't be such a tease.....:nono:

Looking slovenly in comparison to Astaire or Grant is his charm, always has been. More of an odd worn in jacket wearer in his later years.

I think he grew up in Montana. Seriously, he is more fashionable than anybody in Hollywood today. And who could forget his courtroom speech in The Fountainhead?

If the article professes that Cooper was a slob, it just makes me like him more. A kindred spirit.

Well, when you're tall and lean things are gonna look pretty good on you anyway. When he first got to Hollywood, in 1925, in an old jalopy with his pal Walter Brennan, he was 6 ft 2 inches tall, and weighed 155 lbs.

...but things changed...

I've never heard that story. I thought they found their own paths to Hollywood, met and became friends.

Gary Cooper, 1929: "... always looks like he has just been discharged from the Army."

If you're blue and you don' know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where fashion sits ?
Putting On The Ritz.
Different types, who wear a day-
Coat, pants with stripes, and cutaway
Coat, perfect fits ?
Putting On The Ritz.

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper,
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper.
Super-duper !

- Irving Berlin, 1929

I'll have to double check that, actually. But I know they were best buds from early on.
