IN THE THEATRES
POII'S.


 If you address an envelope merely Warren G. Harding it will be de- livered without any trouble or delay to the proper individual. ,.
 And if you write Jackie Coogan, " and nothing else. on an envelope, il will also be delivered correctly.
 That is contrast for you - the President of the United States and a six-year-old boy on practically s1m- liar terms of fame.
 And in thousands of cases that is all there is on the envelopes that bring messages to the little movie star from every part of the country, for, in most instances, their writers are little chaps of about his own age, and unaware of his address All they know is that they have seen him on the screen, have taken him for kindred soul and have gone to the trouble - considerable trouble for most of them-of writing to tell him how much they think of him.
 And if it is possible to address Santa Claus without any address, why not Jackie Coogan? That. probably, is their line of reasoning.
 Like most other stars, Jackie gets countless letters every week but 1t IS seldom that he sees them or knows what is in them. Sometimes they are of such type that his parents deem it proper to read them to Jackie, but they withhold any which ryt to make an idol of him. for. they figure IIdI lIlS IIIIIc VIII COIlIS SOOh CAIOuSA when they will be unable to protect him from hattery and unlimited praise.
 Little Jackie's next picture = and ever done-is My Boy," an Associat- ed First National attraction produc- ed by Sol Lesser, and 1t will arrive at Polls theatre on Sunday for an Dillingwater and Mathilda Brundage are among the supporting cast The story is an original one and peculiarly fitted to the tiny star.
