JACKIE cooGAN AT Fox,s.

Jackie Coogan in Daddy" which is making such big hit at Fox's is admittedly the child's greatest pie turc. Daddy" is richer in acting op- portunities than any picture in which he has heretofore appeared. The spec tators last night were especially im- pressed and thrilled to hushed si- lcnce when little Jackie moved through the scene in which his old guardian passes away and he finds his real daddy. This picture. which has counter balancing comedy for every scene of pathos, continues through tomorrow. Accompanying this picture is fine vaudeville act, showing an excellent trained dog sketch; Harry White, mirthful en- tertaincr:g So0ell and Rex. clever girl pianists and singers; and the Shaw Sisters and company with corking good singing and dancing novelty re- vuc.
 Beginning next Monday is that famous drama. "The Town That For got God" heralded as one Of the cleanest and virile photoplays of the current season. but for the last half of the present week bill of no less interest has been arranged in the showing of :Skin Deep" starring Mill ton Slls.
 The picture is filled with big scenes, but none is bigger than the one de- picting the escape of Bud Doyle from prison.
