.PECK'S BAD BOY" AT
- REX THEATER SUNDAY

Although he is but six years OF
age, Jackie Coogan is the most TAX
ed about youngster in film land to-
day. We have all heard how
Charlie Chaplin found him and real
lied his screen possibilities; and
how the famed comedian wasted no
time in signing Jackie to portray
the title role of the now famous
"The Kid" u r.
That was the first picture young
Mr.. Coogan appeared in. It is sci
dom indeed that a player ascends the
ladder to stardom via a single photo
play. But Jackie Coogan is the ex-
ception. He not only won his spurs
as silent drama celebrity, but has
won a warm spot, in the heart OF
every picture fan in the world.
And speaking Of winning hearts
it would be hard to describe the
feeling of friendship that exists be-
tween Jackie Coogan and Charles
Chaplin. When Jackie severed busi-
ness relations with Mr.. Chaplin to
assume the starring role Of "Peck's
Bad Boy is made no difference in
their friendliness. Not a bit of it.
Suffice it to say that Charles Chap
lin and this little wonder boy of the
silver sheet are pals-have been pals
from the very start-will always be
pals. & 4s .

DIS times spent in play-times
worries and worldly burdens were
something unknown. "Peck's Bad
Boy" will refresh memories on this
score. Those recollections will be
made vivid when Jackie's sAssociat-
ed First National feature is flashed
on the silver sheet of the Rex the
ater. r. .",..' Blu,
Jackie Coogan comes by his his
trionic abilities honestly. His
mother and daddy are old-time the
atrical artists. They have CIV

ing they possess. Today Jackie
Coogan is conceded to be the most
brilliant child actor on the screen.
And with it all, the world cannot
spoil him, for Jackie is just plain,
honest-to-goodness American boy, all
the way through. He does not act.
He is simply natural and proves in
"Peck's Bad Boy" that he has the
power to create artistic and dramatic
episodes as well as to provoke laugh
ter. Therein lies the secret of his
genuine artistry. s>es h.

MANY BIRDS AVOID IRELAND
Species That Are Common In England
Are Not 10 Be Found In the
Emerald lsle.

One OF the curious features OF wild
life In Ireland is the absence OF some
OF the birds best known In England.
The nightingale, for instance. Is never
found In Ireland. while the wood.
warbler, the redstart, all the species
OF woodpecker. the wryneck, the nut
hatch aud several other kinds are so
rare that they are unknown 10 the
great majority OF the people. There
seems TO be no very obvious reason
for the absence OF these birds. II may.
perhaps, be found In the lines OF NIL
grafton along which the birds travel,
for most OF those mentioned above are
not resident In Britain all the year.
But II Is certainly strange that such
bird. for instance. as the common
whltethroat. should thrive everywhere
In Ireland. while the lesser variety is
unknown. and that while the willow
warbler Is one OF the comm0nest OF
summer birds It's larger relative, the
wood warbler, is found In only n few
places and In very few numbers. Ire
land can only boast Of one bird. the
hooded crow, which is not regular
visitor In the nelghborlng island.-
