JACKIE COOGAN
 AIDS CAMP AIGN
Will Tour Country In Interest Of Funds For Near
 East Relief

Forsaking the movies for 10-week period, Jackie Coogan will lead a mod ern ''children's. crusade through the United States this summer in behalf of e $6,O00,000 Near East relief cam paign, it has been announced by Char les V. Vickery, general secretary of the relief campaign, after receipt of a let ter from John H. Coogan, Jackie's father. At the completion of the cam paign tour Jackie will make trip to Europe, > visiting those countries for
 which the Near East relief work is be- ing done.
 "For two reasons,' wrote Mir. Coog- an, "I am glad to allow Jackie to rep
 resent the American children in this deserving cause.
 'The first, of course, is that I feel the Near East relief is doing one of the greatest pieces of child welfare
 work in the world, in which I am proud to have my son assist. "But I have another reason too,--
 more selfish one perhaps-I want Jackie to see and realize some of the
 hardships and suffering other children of his own age have had to endure and
 am sure that the sight of these thou
 sands of destitute, fatherless and
 motherless children for whom your or ganization is caring cannot fail to bring
 home to him a realization of the com
 mon duty of all mankind to one another."
 Jackie will start his. campaign with
 series of appeals for condensed milk
 in Pacific coast cities as soon as he
 finishes work on his present picture,
 "A Boy of Flanders" Similar cam
 paigns for carload lots of milk, flour,
 clothing and quinipe will then be held
 on his trip across the continent. Churches, Sunday schools, public schools, moving pictures, theatres, clubs
 and fraternal societies, together with
 children's organizations generally,
 throughout the nation will cooperate

vail, such as France, Spain, Portugal, Arsentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and even in nonccmmittal England, his po- etic understanding made as deep an impression as did his power.
 In the United States, where he made his debut in January, 1921, he was im- mediately termed 'the colossus of the keyboard" and his. tremendous vitality and virility were everywhere remarked upon.
 Curiously enough, all his powerful technique and grip on the piano was taught to Ignaz Efiedman by q wom- an. Madame Grzywinska was his first teacher and he gaHantly attributes to her the foundation of his tremendoUs success as q man pianist, to which the famous pedagogue Leschetizky added no small share. F

LYRIC VAUDEVILLE

Novelty and variety, mirth, and melo- dy, grace and strength, these are some of the coupled phrases which F, may be open at the Lyric theater. this after noon. All those things and more will be found in the five acts of big-time Keith vaudeville to be presented.
 The headliner is the offering of |Ch harle Cartwell, Laura Har- ris and m p n y.. It is a sing and dancing k it, 'Three Episodes," new stuff and diverting. The added attraction is that popular quartet, '"The Bison City Four," with it's harmonies and melodies. The special feature brings on some comedy, the blackface kind dished up by Joe Kenne- dy and Roy Martin in Friday the Thirteenth" Rounding out this unus- ually diversified bin are Marvel and Faye, comedy contortionists and ring artists, and the famous Vivians, Harry and Ada, sharp shooters extraordinary.
