blyman Kent H. Redwine Hollywood lawyer
IN collaboration with Judge Ben Lindsey
George Temple-father OF shirley and other
parents of famous infants, wrote and intro
duced a bill which newspaper reporters
called the "Coogan Act" because il was de-
signed TO see that the deal Jackie Coogan got

Hollywood ever

It's ironic in a way that the little genius
who was the Kid viii go down in history as
the inspiration for a law to protect all other

says IN part
The courts shall have the power TO re-

benefit OF the minor either IN trust funds or
IN such other savings plans as the court shall
approve of such portion OF the earnings Of
the minor not to exceed one-half The court
may withhold approval Of any contract until
the parent guardian shall execute and file
with the court a written consent 10 such
order
All l see the Judges fine hand in that.
For under the California child Labor Laws,
now in effect no film contract between "A
studio and minor is legal until it has been
approved by a Superior Court Judge.
So let's see how it works.
Susanna Foster is a young singing star
Her real name is Larson. AS long as il was
Larson. little Susanna and her folks her
mother and father and her three sisters
got along fine. They all loved each other and
were good friends. and Papa Larson supported
them all comfortably enough.
Then Susanna s<yrockcted TO film fame in
a picture called The Great Victor Herbert"
The only thing great about it was Susanna
Then the law suits began. Then the folks
quit getting along. and the usual procession Of
custody suits and separate maintenance ac-
tons ana goodness knows what began TO cx-
plode around Susanna's singing.
