Gary Cooper's contract with Paramount forbade him from wearing glasses in public- I am sure "Coops" often waived that when hunting with Hemingway and others out in Idaho- He was a fine shot with a rifle, his favorite game with his M70 SG in .257R was the bobcats that inhabitated Idaho-- His wife, Veronica Balfe, was a co-star with Fay Raye in "King Kong"-- and was a CA State Skeet Woman's Champion in the 1930's...RWTF
