Cowtoy or tnc dor '( Twelve years ago a long and lanky Montana lad played a cowboy in Samuel Goldwyn's "The Winning of Barbara Worth." Today, a wealthy, world-famous movie star, he picks up boots and saddle again in "The Lady and the Cowboy," a new Sam Goldwyn film. Here he is, above — Gary Cooper, in character. Right, the man himself. We wonder — can a successful star return to an old role? Is it possible for a sophisticated celebrity to play a primitive and picturesque part with all his former zest? It will be interesting to watch Cooper, today, as he plays the cowboy and contrast him with the Cooper shown at left, the shy, lean-faced, ingratiatingly awkward boy who scored one of the great hits of film history. Can Gary Cooper come oack to Nature now?
