„Little Jack‘s Valuable.
How‘d you like to receive an offer of a million dollars
for your child? And would you take it? Well, that all
depends. Anyhow Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coogan turned down
one they received the other day for baby Jack
Coogan, Jr., who is making such a hit with his dance
imitations in the 1920 Bathing Girl Revue
at Grauman‘s this week.
The negotiations were started at the Alexandria
Hotel. It seems an elderly oil man had made the
acquaintance of little Jack in the lobby. On the evening
in question the man had called to him while the
little fellow was sitting with Mrs. Coogan, Sid Grauman and
Charlie Chaplin. A conversation followed, in which
the oil man in a serious tone told Mrs. Coogan he‘d give
$1,000,000 to be able to adopt Jack as his own
son. Of course, Mrs. Coogan laughingly refused. The next
evening the wife of the oil man accosted her and said:
,Mrs. Coogan, my husband is very ill today and did not sleep
a wink last night thinking of your little boy. We have
been married for years but have never had a child. My husband
thinks your little boy is the most wonderful little mortal
who ever trod the earth.‘
Little Jack as well as Papa Jack Coogan were both with
Annette Kellermann in her Orpheum act. Mr. Coogan,
Sr., has decided he likes Southern California so well that
he‘s going to make pictures his profession, and at
present he is appearing with Fatty Arbuckle.“
