THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1952 FIVE Cooper Presents Unique Formula For Film Success By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, July The man who made the current 'box-office "King Kong" has a unique formula for movie success! Make 'em timeless. The 29-year-old "Konf?" is the surprise hit of the year, outdrawing most of the 1952 films at the nation's box office. Merlan C. Cooper, who made the picture with Ernest Schoedsack, should' be kicking himself, but he isn't; It's the only movie Cooper has made without holding a percentage of the profits. Holds No Grudge have no regrets; what's past Is past," said peppery Cooper, a brigadier general who served In both world wars.

"I hold no grudge against RKO, which is distributing the picture. I'm happy to see making money for them." "Kong's" success bears out Cooper's theory of movie making. The Veteran film producer, long associated with director John Ford, shuns subjects which will be dated by the passing of time. "Ford and I both foresaw the value of the reissue market and of television," Cooper remarked. "Since the war, we-have made only timeless pictures.

The only modern story we made was "Migh- Joe Young." That was during Dee Barnes Rites Are Held Sunday Funeral services for Dee Barnes, 51, were held In Hlllsboro Sunday afternoon. He was a veteran of World Wars I and II. Surviving are a son, Berry Barnes, Longvlew; a daughter, Mrs. Sydney Allen, Hlllsboro; a grandchild; five brothers, Bob Barnes, Mansfield; M. E.

It didn't do as well as because it wasn't as good a picture.

Also, it cost too little over two million. I had just returned from the war, and I didn't realize that costs had doubled," Others in Mind Does Cooper have another spectacular film In mind? "You bet I do," he replied positively. "It's just as wild an Idea as 'Kong', and I have hired O'Brien to start work on the technical aspects. But I'm not telling what it's about. I think 'there is more value in projects like these if I keep them secret.

Avoids Dated Pictures "Those are the things that 'date a women's dressen and hats. I try to avoid filming styles that will appear grotesque In future years. Also, the cars date a picture, but there's not much you can do about that." Lately, Cooper and Ford have made a lot of Westerns. But you can tell where Cooper's great interest lies.

He spoke earnestly about his two spectacular projects, "Kong" and "Mighty Joe Young." "It cost about $400,000 to make 'Kong' and it took us a year," he By TIM PARKER Associated Press Staff The three candidates for governor In July 26 Texas Demo- primary include two men with long records of public ser- vcie and a San Antonio housewife trying for her first public office.
