Thousands of disappointed damsels may dispute that — but Sandra Shaw meets the approval of Gary's parents. And that's news! For they have never publicly blessed any of his previous romances !

For the first time, Gary Cooper, his mother and his father, Judge Cooper, are agreed that he has found "the right girl"
that the Countess was much older than Gary and already had a husband. They felt that the constant linking of their names would react harmfully on their son.
Why His Mother Approves
HOLLYWOOD began to wonder if the Coopers, Pere and Mere, would approve of his marriage to any girl. The engagement to Sandra Shaw was so sudden that close friends waited expectantly for Gary's parents to explode a bombshell of protest.

"Sandra has a sweet, naive way about her. I know the day they became engaged, Gary had taken her for a drive, and they stopped by our apartment to break the news. Sandra was shy and appealing when she showed us her ring and asked for our approval. We liked her at once. ' '
She's Giving Up Career
SANDRA, whose real name is Veronica Balfe, is a New York society girl. She first came to Hollywood a year ago to visit her uncle, Cedric Gibbons, the noted art director, who recently has become a film director. She was launched in Hollywood society by Dolores Del Rio (Mrs. Gibbons), who entertained extensively for her. Both Dolores and Cedric are very happy over the romance.
"Sandra gave up all thought of a movie career when she met Gary," says Dolores. "Of course, when she first came to visit us, she was fascinated by the glamour of the studios, as {Continued on page go)
