Casauranc, former minister of educa-
ton.
The State Department was silent as
to whether the Mexican government
had signified intention Of making a
change in its representation here, or
had asked If the prospective .appointee
would be persona grata to the United
States-a necessary prelude to a diplo-
matte shift of this character.
1t was stated on behalf Of the Am
baSSador by Senior Don Luciano Rivas,
secretary, that he "has been called to
Mexico by the department of foreign
relations and does not know anything
about the appointment Of DR.. PUG
Casauranc to succeed him, and moth
ing whatever as to whether he will
stay in Mexico or return here"
Shift Learned Today.
The Secretary said specifically that
the instructions to Ambassador Teller
which were received a day or SO ago,
she'd no light ON the reason for which
he was being called home. It was DOS
sible it might be for conference,
Rivas said.
There were indications that the en-
bassy stah became aware of the affair
only this morning.
If the summons ends In the removal
of Teller, the move would be viewed
with surprise here, where the AmbaS-
sador is popular and is viewed as a
capable diplomat, who has risen to his

Teller has been regarded by his COL
leagues and observers as successful in
his representations before this Gov
eminent. The suggestion that Mexico
did not receive more satisfaction than
the regret" of the United States over
the killing Of two Mexican youths In
Oklahoma several months ago brought
from other diplomats assurances that
in obtaining these regrets Teller had
done all possible for his government
under the circumstances.
He has been regarded by his COL
leagues as man who follows through
on international problems. His remarks
to President Coolidge on the pres
entation of his credentials as Ar1bas-
sador in February, 1925, were cited as
evidence Of his firm handling of his
countryis interest.

COOPER ROSE TOFlLM
FAME TAKINCPART OF 'SKIPPY'
Began Career Three and One
Half Years Ago Playing In
Harold Lloyd Plays

Hollywood, Oct. 17.-R)-His name
is Jackie, but 1t might be "Skippy."
he is so like the character that
brought him screen fame.
He is Jackie Cooper, Hoolywood's
newest and youngest star, who, until
a few months ago, was just another
child actor. He differed from most Of
them in that he worked frequently.
Three and a half years ago, four
year -old Jackie began his career by
paying a small role with Lloyd Ham,
ilton. Other pictures, most Of them
comedies, followed at intervals dur
ing the next two years.
Came the talkies and the discovery
that Jackie had q voice. He sang In

Meanwhile the search was on for a
youngster to play the part of "Skippy"
In the picture of that name. Months
went by as hundreds of children were
tested. None was the type wanted.
It was inevitable that the search
would get around to Jackie. It did,
the picture was made and it made
Jackie. Nearly everyone agrees
"Skippy' is one of the most human
and, appealing child pictures ever
filmed.
Jackie contributed more than his
share to its success. The story was
tailor made for him. He didn't act;
he was just himself.
Already under contract to pro-
ducer, for mere $100 a week, 1t
looked as though that was all Jackie
would get for the next five yea.s,
despite the increased demand for his
services.
But another company waihed
Jackie so much that it bought his
five-year $lOO-a-week contract. Every
one concerned profited, most of al

Each of them is we'll aware of his

Woolsey with his particular gift of
patter, should say it, he suggests such
a change Immediately. If, however,
he believes that he can speak one of
Woolsey's lines better than Woolsey,
he also says so.
In that lies the real depth of their
mutual appreciation. In such a cir

moment, null the matter over and say
yes or mo-, just as he honestly be-

Wheeler does the same. One might
