DEATHS "Double Hunter" Visits Barnstable Patriot —Discovers "Barry Fitzgerald" Everyone has had the experience of being told , "Vou look so much like another friend ol mine," or "You remind me so much of some one I used to know." In fact , the claim has been made that every- one has a double. Writing in the flrBt century, Pliny mentions a plebeian who became famous throughout the Roman Empire be- cause of his resemblance to Julius Caesar. Here in this town , In Hyannis vil- lage, lives a man, a retired news- paper photographer, who iius built a hobby on such resemblances. Through friends and In titu travels he finds persons who are the dou- bles of celebrities—presidents, queens , kings, statesmen, stars of stage and screen. Name one of those public characters, und Carl Holmes can tell you who the dou- ble is. Since comiug to Cape Cod 3 years ago, first as a summer resident, then as a permanent one, Mr. Holmes haa heard ot over 70 such doubles on Cape Cod,—that Is, Cape Cod residents who resemble fa- mous persons. One morning recently, Mr. Holmes came into the Fatrlot of- fice to order some stationery print- ed. The tirst person he met was Barry Fitzgerald, or BO It seemed. "Are you any relation to Barry Fitzgerald?" he queried, "What , you, too?" answered "Barry. " And so, It naturally followed that "Bar- ry" had his picture taken. And here It is. Do you recognize him? In a series of Thursday night ra- dio talks over WOCB, Mr. Holmes Is discussing hobbles, including bis own. Tonight he Interviews our lo- (cal "Barry." He Is on from 8 to 8:16. Photographer, lecturer, world traveler, Mr. Holmes also writes and Is now engaged in writing a book on his hobby. He already has 20,000 names of doubles listed in his card ludex file; persons he IUIH hard ot, who resemble some wall- known other persons. He Intends making motion picture screen tests ot some of the Cape i Cod celebrity resemUlors for pos- sible use on television programs, wium Charles w. Holmes of Wor- I coster died accidentally while tak- ing aerial photographs, Carl W. Lotgt'en received word while in mid-Atlantic , crossing from the other side, Mr. Holmes had been bis advisor and tutor. They were friends and were engaged in tho same kind of business, doing at once to WorceBtor to hel p carry on the business of Ills friend , ho gradually became known as Mr. Holmes and adopted that namo professionally, though retaining his own name legally. Later, MVB , Holmes became his wife, and today they live In Hyannis Park, For the past 8 years Mr. Holmes has followed his hobby exclusively. Having traveled in 36 foreign countries and vacationed in both American und foreign summer re- sorts, he chose Cape Cod na the Ideal spot for the comfort of living. Born in Worcester, Carl Holmes received his schooling ku Nashua and Manchester, New Hampshire. He has worked in Manchester, Wor- cester, Boston, New Bedford and Now York. He has also taught pho- tography in a New York State School. Resemblances, Inc. of New York is the name of the company Mr. Holmes was instrumental in form- ing. A meeting of the corporation was held at the Hyaiiuis Branch over the Memorial Day weekend . Beginning tomorrow ( Friday), 50 selected photographs will bo on ex- hibition in tbe window of Louis Dean 's Radio Shop. On the evening of Juno 14 Mr. Holmes Is scheduled to give a lec- ture ut the Elks Home, llyannls, at X•. ' .!() p.m. ou "Celebrity Resent- 1 blances" and "Mistaken IdentltloH. " Sponsoring the lecture is the La- dies' Auxiliary ot the V. F. W., Dennis F. Thomas Poat. From the proceeds a deserving boy will bo sent to camp. if yon know of a resemblance around Cape cod to a celebrity, bo sure to notify this "Double Hunter,"
