upper left: When Jimmy arrived in Watliington, ||lO the first autograph he gave was to Clara May Hild, airline hostess, who waited until then to ask for it. Lower left: Jean Arthur taw Jimmy to the airport when he had to fly to Washington for five days of special shots for "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." JIMMY STEWART doesn't want to be President. In fact, he doesn't even want to be a Congressman or the Mayor of Van Nuys, Studio City or any of the other Hollywood suburbs that elect stars as public ofl&cials. For Jimmy has just completed 89 days of being Senator Jeff Smith in Frank Capra's production, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." For 89 days he made political speeches, shook hands with constituents and avoided lobbyists in Hollywood's letter-perfect reproduction of the nation's Capitol. Then, to climax it all. Senator Stewart flew across the continent to make final scenes for the picture in Washington itself. After five days of that city's unbearable heat and humidity, Jimmy is certain that he desires no further contact with the public speaking and baby-kissing profession — a. decision that definitely gives the babies of the nation something less to look forward to.
