HIS NAME Theory of Grabbing Parents Exploded Starlet's Big Earnings , ' Carefully Handled for His Ultimate Advantage. BT WALTER ANTHONY. AND what about little Jackie Coogan's future? When the period of his pre cocious earning power has passed, as pass it must, what w ill there be ieft to show for these years where in the lad took the world by the hand in the charming comraderie of an innocent, artless and altogether adorable boyhood? That is a question more frequently asked than answered and more fre quently ajnswered ill-naturedly than charitably. , The popular assumption runs in favor of the belief that there will be precious little remaining from the rich years of the present, amd that others than little Jackie Coogan will possess the wealth that his fab ulous earning power is creating. The question as to what Mr. and Mrs. Coogan are doing to safeguard the future of their boy seems on the face of It to be an Impertinence. But a second glance at the question shows it to be pertinent and proper, for, if society cannot inquire into matters pertaining to the security and welfare of helpless immaturity, then a condition of frank barbarism is better" than durs.

ONE of the most progressive steps ever taken by a motion picture company has just been announced by Universal. It is a direct action plan to aid the ex hibitor in promoting and exploit ing Universal pictures. In every Universal film exchange throughout the United States an experienced publicity man, thoroughly familiar with the motion picture and the atrical business, has been stationed whose services are at the disposal of theaters that use Universal pic tures. - In each territory,' in the small towns as well as in the larger cities, an intensive publicity and educa tional campaign will be launched immediately under the direction of the district publicity representative. With the slogan of "One Thousand Summer Shows at Summer Prices," the Universal exchanges will devote their first efforts in aiding the the aters to remain open throughout the entire summer and play to profitable business by decreasing their' ex penses. ' Complete . shows for the entire week will be supplied by Universal, the programmes either to be selected by the exhibitor or will be suggested by the local exchanges from "ideal" bills which they have prepared. In connection With this campaign, energy and money also will be ex pended in making the theater goisg public, as well as the exhibitors, familiar with the splendid pro gramme of Universal jewels.

' His work is not so exacting as it might seem, and there are many hours in eaoh 24 during which the little ge.nius of the screen gives his time to the normalities of childhood playing, studying and, rebellious to the last, sleeping. One-half of every dollar paid Jackie Coogan every Tuesday is de posited by a devoted father .amd mother in a trust fund stamding in Jackie's name and to be turned over bo him on his majority. The other half has beien invested in Jackie's home in Hollywood, which stands in Ms name; In real estate in 'and around Los Angeles, and, on the best advice available, in other forms of investement.- And all this, of course, in Jackie's name and for his personal and ultimate advantage. Jackie Coogan's father is under separate salary, according to the contract signed by Sol Lesser, rep resentimg the producers of "Oliver Twist," and by Jack Coogan, father of the prodigy-boy. This salary is honorably and amply earned. fall and winter which will be pro duced or released by Universal. Another point that is being stressed by Universal and its of ficials is that the psychology of the legimitate theater be applied to the motion picture theater in the sum mer. Heavy sombre themes are conspicious by their absence in the regular theaters that remain open throughout the summer in the larger cities. Comedies, farces and mys tery plays with lots of action are featured instead. Real Northwest "Mounty" Appears in Picture. Canadian Serg-eant Sightseeing Takes Fart la Photoplay.
