Nevertheless, she is sweet and good

"She has Independence bit of

But such a spirit is the spirit of

At the Strand Theatre

Although he is but six years of
age, Jackie Coogan is the most talk
ed about youngster In FINLAND to-
day. We have all heard how Charlie
Chaplin found him and realized his
screen possibilities and how the
famed comedian wasted no time in
signing Jackie to portray the title
role of the nov famous THE Kid"
That was the first picture young
Mr.. Coogan appeared in. 1t Is sell
dom indeed that a player ascends
the ladder to stardom via a single
photoplay. But Jackie Coogan is
the exception. He not only won his
spurs as a silent drama celebrity,
but has won a warm spot in the
heart of every picture fan in the
world.
And speaking Of winning hearts
1t would be hard to describe the
feeling Of friendship that exists be-
tween Jackie Coogan and Charles
Chaplin. When Jackie severed
business relations with Mr.. Chaplin
to assume the starring role of
"Peck's Bad Boy it made no diff
ference in their friendliness. Not
a bit of it. Suffice it to say that
Charles Chaplin and this little Won
der boy of the silver sheet are pals
have been pals from the very
start-will always be pals.

Boy" IN which Jackie. of course.

felt that at some time or another
everybody likes to think back on
childhood days and remember the
happy times spent in play-times
when worries and worldly burdens
were something unknown. "Peck's
Bad Boy" will refresh memories on
this score. Those re~collections will
be made vivid when Jackie's Asso-
ciated First National feature Is
flashed On the silver sheet of the
Strand theatre this week.
Jackie Coogan ZONES by his his

dience went home hoarse last night.
It's the greatest barrage of clean cut
fun that was ever fired in pic
ture.
In the past producers have har-
bored the opinion that to be funny,
a comedian must do front and back
fiips. break furniture and hurl Gus
tard pies. Evidently this erroneous
idea is dying a well deserved death
for, in Seven Years Bad Luck" there
isn't a suggestion of slapstick humor
and still it is the funniest comedy.
All of the settings throughout are
perfect. A few of the props" in
clude a railroad train, n fuzzy
poodle and a young and husky lion
ess. Also there are pretty girls who
cavort in town and country houses.
One of the best of the many stor-
les of the great Northwest country
which have been seen on the screen
is "Out of the Shows" a Ralph Ince
production which also opened its
gagement at the Ditmas Theatre yes
terday.
The story is of a girl who is a
founding and knows nothing OF her
p%arentage. She is engaged to a MEM
Der of the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police, but she hears that he was the
man who killed her father some
years before and she breaks off the
engagement and hides away in the
Far North. A succession of drama
tic climaxes bring out the truth, and
also brings the story to a startling
and happy conclusion.
