today

he
was
can

about
his
lacTc
of
any
outward
show
of
the
customary
Hollywood
razzle-dazzle.
He
was
not,
he
explained
a
trifle
wearily,
from
Hollywood,
nor
was
he
the
Frank
R.
Capra
who
produces
Academy
Award
winning
movies.
"You're
not
the
first
reporter
to
make
the

mistake,"
he
sighed.
"Sometimes,
I
think
I
ought
to
change

As
far
as
he
knows,
continued
the
visiting
Mr.
Capra,
who
is
in
I
his
early
thirties,
and
comes
from
Oakland,
his
only
connection
with
his
famous
namesake
is
a
visual
one
He
has
seen
'
him
once
or
twice
in
the
flesh.
But
the
famous
Mr.
.Capra
is
definitely
Hollywood.
I
"However,
I've
been
confused
with
him
a
thousand
times,
j
particularly
in
Canada,"
he
:
said.
"At
Vancouver
and
several
other
places
I
have
been
asked
if
I
was
the
movie
producer.
Down
in

tne
people
i
don't
seem

The
