Making of James Movie on tap for Society
Those who attend the monthly meeting of the Delaware County Genealogical Society will hear about the making of the Jesse James movie. The society meets Tuesday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Grove Public Library.
The year is 1938. People were sitting in a diner drinking coffee just across the state line in McDonald County, and in walked Henry Fonda, Tyrone Power, and Nancy Kelly. All were very big movie stars in that time. What's going on? They wondered. It was the filming of the Jesse James movie.
Most of the movie was shot in McDonald County where many locals were part of the production. Over the years, the McDonald County Library at Pineville has collected thousands of pictures about the movie and the stars.
Carrie Cline, McDonald County library director, will present a program on "The Making of the Jesse James Movie." The presentation will include many photographs from the library's collection, and many stories of local folks and the move stars -- when Hollywood came to the Ozarks.
And in case you wonder why Pineville has Jesse James Days each August, it's in remembrance of the movie. The real Jesse James was never there, so far as is known. The public is invited to all meetings of the Genealogical Society. The society supports the genealogical collection at the library with funds, materials, and volunteers. A short social hour follows the programs.

Hi, I just wondered if anything has been said about the extra who had a baby by Tyrone Power and gave it up for adoption. He spent a lot of money trying to find the child but never did. It's the first thing they told me, in fact, when I walked into the library in Pineville.
