Wallace Beery on Stand for Film Star Declares Coogan's Father Often Said Fortune Was for Son; Betty Grable Tells of Woman's Efforts to Prevent Marriage Los Angeles, April 22 () gan's suit for a $4,000,000 accounting by his mother and stepfather of his earnings as a child star was postponed to day until May 2. Superior Court Judge Emmet Wilson or dered that the temporary receivership be continued, so that an inventory may oe compieiea oyv May 2. He also continued the tem porary restraining order against Coogan's mother, and her second husband, Arthur L. Bernstein, from disposing of property until further notice. Betty Grable, $500-a-week Xilm dancer, told of ignoring a warning by her mother-in-law that she was marrying a "pauper," if she married Jackie Coogan. As Betty described what she e-.id were Mrs. Lillian Coogan Bernstein's efforts to break off her son's two year engagement, Wallace Beery, a friend of Jackie's kid days in the movies rallied to his support. Beery in Character Jackie maintained, and Mrs. Bernstein denied, that his father, Jack Coogan, Sr., had Intended to give him his accumulated film earn ings when he came of age. The eld er Coogan was killed In an automo bile accident In 1935, shortly before Jackie's 21st birthday. To "the kid's" cause, Beery, a vet eran star, added his word today, rubbing his Jaw In a characteristic meditative gesture as he spoke : "Not once, but many times more than a dozen, I think: Jack told me that he had never used or Intended to use a cent the boy earned. "Every penny the boy was making was being put away and saved for him, Jack said on several occasions. He was careful at all times to Im press everyone that Jackie's money would be all his and rightfully when the kid reached a man s es tate." Beery's recollections were of a period when he and Jackie played together In two pictures and he be-, came a fast friend of the father. "I shall be glad to help Jackie In any way possible so that his fath er's wishes may be fulfilled," he added. Money Didn't Count I "If Betty thinks she is marrying a rich boy she Is very much mistak- j en. He hasn't a cent. Jackie Is a pauper J" Miss Grable quoted Mrs.; Bernstein as saying. j "I remember I had hardly met Jack when she began to Intimate that he had no money," the bride continued. "She would want to argue about some trivial thing Just to put me In a bad light. I never could under stand her attitude. Whether she thought I wouldn't make a good wife or whether she Just didn't want Jack to get married, I have no idea. "But she certainly made me lee I badly, even to the 'point of tears, sometimes. "If Jack had no money, that made no' difference to me. Jackie and I were In love and money didn't and doesn't mean a thing. It didn't make me give Jack up, and lt never will!"
