POWERFUL DRAMA IN
JACKIE CO0GAN'S NEW
PLAY At THE AMERICA

Daddy" a First National picture
starring Jackie Coogan, contains an
episode that critics have declared to
be tho most powerful and gripping
they have ever beheld on the screen.
1t gives jackie an opportunity TO reg
lister the deepest OF grief with Il s'n-
certify and n~aturalness that are un.
canny.
In this particular sequence appears
Cesare Gravini. an Italian actor and
musician, celebrated on the European
stage. He plays the part of Gallo. a
broken-down musicians. forced to carr
his livelihood by playing for needless
pedestrians on street corners. The
~forlorn and wandering Jackie without
home or parents. comes under the no
tice of the old man. whose interest in
the lad is increased by the fact that
the boy himself is n violin genius.
He takes the boy to his humble
home and out of his meager store
provides for his wants and gives him
priceless essons. But age. disnppoint-
ment, and poverty do their work only
too well. and the time of parting
comes for Jackie and his benefactor.
This is the scene wherein Jackie rises
to dramatic heights and n poignant
appeal not equaled on the American
stage.

A migty sheer went out as Carpenter
followed with three more to the same

carrying the fight to his opponent,
who had held the greatest honor In
