JACKE COOGAN – – –

      An Institution

      J. D. Williams of Associated First National Pictures thus

named this famous little star of the silver sheet –––

      Ever since Mr. Charles Chaplin injected Jackie‘s natural

talents and beautiful personality in „The Kid“ the

fame of this wonder boy has increased at meteoric pace. (...)

      Yes, J. D. Williams is right –

      Jackie Coogan is an Institution.

„Well, J. D.?“

Editorial content. „When Film Comedian

      Meets Executive

      Those who imagine when a great screen artist and

a busy film executive go ,into session‘ that there

would slip over the transom only such expressions as

,$400,000 negative,‘ ,great continuity,‘ ,how much

in Seattle?‘, etc. would probably have had the surprise

of their lives if they had been present when J. D.

Williams, general manager of Associated First National

Pictures, Inc., paid a visit this week to the

Chaplin studio.

      After a hearty greeting the artist looked at the film

executive and said: ,Well, J. D.?‘ And the head

of the largest chain of theaters in the world replied after

a moment, ,Wonderful, Charlie – simply wonderful.‘

      That was all the allusion that was made to The Kid,

the picture which is smashing all box office records

throughout the country, and is simultaneously playing at

no less than 78 theaters in New York City alone.

      Chaplin hied the First National chief away to the Pasadena

Golf links. Mr. and Mrs. Williams were the guests

of honor at a dinner given at the Chaplin studio last night.“
