JACKIE COOCAN IS
THE LUCKIEST KID
IN OWN ESTIMATION

Jackie Coogan. years old, says
he's the luckiest kid in the world.
For he has achieved distinctions
that most real boys would prefer to
even the presidency of the United
States
First of all. he was given the oppor-
tunity of playing in picture with
the worlds champion funny man.
Charlie Chaplin.
And now he is a star in his own
right at an age when most youngsters
are in the kindergarten!
His initial independent starring
vehicle, '4Peck's Bad Boy" released by
Associated First National, comes to
Jackies portrayal of the title role
in "Peck's Bad Boy" is said to be as
humorous and entertaining as his
work with Chaplin in THE Kid
which endeared him to the whole pic
ture- going world. OF course, irwin
S. Cobb, who wrote the subtitles, and
others helped a whole lot.
Jackie was discovered" by Charles
Chaplin himself. In explaining how
he made such a find the famous
comedian declares that his first
meeting with the youngster was pure
~ an accident.
At the time Jackie was with his
parents Ill IL LOS Angeles itOlei, Steep
ing soundly in chair in the lobby.
He was awakened to meet the ia
nous comedian, leaped to his feet
made courteous bow. and then,
child like, went promptly back to
sleep.
Chaplin declares that in that in
slant he saw the rare quality of
Jackie Coogan, trait so lovab1e that
he kept track of him and finally OBJ
tanned the consent of the youngsters
parents to allow him to become a
member of the Chaplin company.
Chaplin soon after commenced work
on a picture which he hoped would
express his feelings towards the child.
Both Chaplin and Coogan were kept
busy for more than a year. and "The

lightful of the comedians produce

attracted to the lad by a whimsical
wistful quality. and expression OF
genuine feeling.
Equipped with hundred resources

Undoubtedly he has inherited hi
love of an audience from his par.

The comedian points out one of tn
youngsters qualities as extraordinar,
/ his ability to do a scene over with

an object with an expression of sucl
deep interest that you would think h
was gazing at it for the first tim
in his life said Chaplin.

C.F. WEBER COMP ANY
SUPPLIES SEATS FOR
NEW PICTURE HOUSE

An interesting detail in illustrating
the thoroughness of the plans made
last year for the Rialto theater. which
opens its doors tonight is the fact that
the seats for the picture house were
ordered almost year ago. The seats
were made especially for the new
playhouse.
The Rialto's seats-more than 1 1000
of them-were manufactured by the
American Seating company of Grand
Rapids, Mich. The company is repre-
scented in Arizona, California and
Nevada by the c. F. Weber company,
which maintains branches in Phoe-
nix, Los Angeles, Reno and Chicago
Francisco.
The seats are of the most modern
and comfortable type yet designed.
Two expansion bolts anchor each
chair to the concrete floor of the
theater and this method made install
lation no easy task. To finish up the
work in time the Weber company S
crews have been working night and
day for the past few days.
Theater and church seating and
school supplies are handled through
out the state by the Weber company.
Not long ago it furnished the pews
for Trinity cathedral Among the
theaters for which it has provided
seats are three in Miami, the Star at
Nogales, the Rialto at Tucson, the
Menhennet at Tempe and the Strand
and Ramona here. Among its largest
jobs on the coast were the California
and Grauman's theaters in Los An
geles. 1t also has supplied a large
number of Arizona schools with desks.
The Phoenix branch of C. F. Weber
and company is headed by L. n.
Fricke, manager.

PLUMBING OF NEW

The plumbing of the Rialto is like
everything else in the theater one
can't help but notice it, OF the most
modern design, the plumbing fixtures
conform to the general appearance of
their settings. Carefully selected and
installed by expert workmen, the
plumbing is expected to give long
and faithful service.
