JACKIE COOGAN SPLENDID
IN "PECK'S BAD BOY

When Charlie Chaplin treated the
world to his remarkable comedy,
"The Kid" all thoughts and conjec-
lures regarding the screen work OF
lone Jackie Coogan, who played the
title role in the picture, were set at
ease with gentle, but firm reports.
In their reviews of the showing of
''The Kid" the press reserved no
space or words in the praise of young
Mr.. Coogan's portrayal. They refer
red to him as "the most wonderful
child the screen has ever known" and
as "the boy whose name will be on
the lips of every movie fan in the
world" Many other equally good
comments were made and printed,
giving paragraphs upon paragraphs
of newspaper and magazine space in
behalf of the newly "discovered'
youngster.
And now Jackie Coogan comes
forth with subject that seals all
Thoughts of his screen possibilities
Ilbeing uncertain for future photo
production work. Jackie is bringing
to the public of New1berry second
picture. 1t is called "Peck's Bad
Boy" First National attraction, and
will be shown Thursday. sIn "Peck's
bad Boy" Jackie, of course, portrays
the title role-that of the "bad boy"
And those who have had the pleasure
of seeing this second production
and Jackie's first starring one
claim him a true genius of the silent
drama.
And while Jackie is the star and
his work cannot be criticized, there
are still other important and inter-
esting matters pertaining to the Peck
picture. First of all is the cast-an
all-star cast. Heading the players,
working opposite Jackie, are such
personages as Doris May, Wheeler
Oakman, James Corrigan, Raymond
Hatton, Lillian Leighton, Gloria
Wood, and others of equal note. Then
comes the name Of Irwin S. Cobb,
Americas famous author and humor-
ist. Mr.. Cobb has written all of the
sub-titles for the picture and has add
ed in this manner many laughs to
those created by the action. Sam
Wood directed "Peck's Bad Boy" and
has made a thorough job of it. Mr..
Wood is one of the best-known direc-
tors in FINLAND, having directed all
of the new Wallace Reid and Gloria
Swanson productions.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the
best insurance against hard times:
In earning capacity, it may equal
an estate of $4,000. For the un-
trained are the positions of pow
evty and obscurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-
lima, but the cost of an education
at Clemson College is compara-
lively low-sufficiently low to be
within the reach of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government to R. O. T. {. stu
dents, still further reduce the
cost.
Do not allow the financial diff
fculties to keep you from entering
college this fall to prepare your
self for the opportunities that lie
ahead.
