present Jackie Coogan in "Trou-

personality, a real grasp of dra-
matte values and genius for
screen expression.
In Trouble" he assumes the
role OF a little orphan who has a
tough time trying to get an even
break from q world that seems
callous to his rights. While the
picture affords it's juvenile star op-
portunity for pathos, it also has
highly humorous intervals. The
principal feminine role Is played by
Gloria Hope, and a prominent con-
tributory character Is delineated by
Wallace Beery. Queenie, the dog
genius, appears again as JaCkie's
inseparable pal.
As a companion feature will be
shown a two-reel comedy, Step
Forward" featuring handsome Ben
Turpin, who has not been seen in
a Sennett farce since Bright
Eyes" The program will be com
pleted by short films and orchestral
contributions under N. Mirskey.
