“FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS” STARS FOND OF THEIR PARTS

Strong, Silent Robert Jordan Best Role I Ever Had

By GARY COOPER

all the strong, silent men I have played in movies-and I have played many-the fellow I really like best of all is Robert Jordan, the American dynamiter in Ernest Hemingway's. "For Whom the Bell Tolls."

A scene from the picture, “"For Whom the Bell Tolls." coming next week to_the_King's Theatre, The background of the story is Spain during the civil war.

MARIA IS A WOMAN

IT

WHO KNOWS LOVE

Robert Jordan is the kind of fellow who doesn't may very much, but goes about the busi ness of getting his job done. That's the kind of fellow I un- derstand,

He has principles and he's willing lo dle for them, without making a44 fuss about it. He knows how to fight and he knows how to love and he does both, quiolly and thoroughly. When he meets Maria,

a girl in a million, It isn't easy for

him to keep her from Interfering with his assignment to blow an im- portant bridge, but he wouldn't be Robert Jordan If he didn'l Agure out a way to do the job and love Marla at the same time,

Wanted To Play

Of courgo I wanted to play Robert Jordan. Any actor who wouldn't have wanted the role of Ernest Hemingway's great charac- ter would either be lying or crazy. But in Hollywood it isn't always possible to accept parts that are offered to you, no matter how much you want them. If you're commit- ted to another studio, you've just got to live up to your commitment and that's what happened to me when Paramount asked me to play Robert Jordan. I was signed with Sam Goldwyn to be Lou Geh- rig in "Pride of the Yankees," but Director Sam Wood worked out a deal with Goldwyn whereby he directed me in the baseball picture career, perhaps. But Maria is none released me to play in "Bell Tolls." In exchange for which Goldwyn of that. her life to protect the

was in the late autumn of 1940 that I first read Ernest Hemingway's great book, “For Whom the Bell Tolls." At that time I still needed a Swedish-English die- tionary and had to turn to it often to understand many of the book's passages.
