Coast Guard Cutter Absecon. (International Soundphoto) Hz 4 " '''f : The Hollywood Scene B Hollywood (IP) Jackie Coogan, first kid star of the movies, is grooming his 4-year- 0 1 d daughter, Leslie, to fol- 1 o w in his foot steps to moppet s t a r dom. "I was just four years old when I started my first p i c ture," Coogan Vernon Scott grinned. "It was 'The Kid' with Charlie Chaplin back in 1918, and it launched the biggest child actor in history." Coogan, bald now and as homely as a rhinoceros, earned S6V2 million before he was vot ing age. But by the time various factions were through cutting up his fortune, Jackie ended up with a pittance. Considering his financial dis asters, his plunge to obscurity and the heartaches of growing up in the public eye, why does he want Leslie to experience stardom? "It would be a great gratifica tion for me," Jackie said. "I take a lot of pride in her. Knows Perils of Stars "There hasn't been a real big child star since Shirley Temple and I think the public is ready for one. Besides, I know all the pitfalls of being a kid star, be lieve me, and I will see that she avoids them. "For instance, she can't lose any money she earns. My law, 'The Coogan Law,' would pro tect her from all the financial troubles I went through." Jackie whipped out his wallet and produced a picture of Leslie. VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer She's a blue-eyed, blonde cutey who bears a close resemblance to Jackie when he was that age. "So far Leslie hasn't had any professional experience," Jackie said, "But I'm teaching her things gradually how to walk, turn, lower her eyes all the things I learned as a kid. She dances, too. Worked Up Gag "We've already worked up a little gag. I ask her what her name is and she says, 'Leslie Coogan.' I ask her what Mom my's name is and she says, 'Do die Coogan.' Then I ask her what my name is and she an swers, 'Jackie Cooper.' We all get a kick from that." Jackie has two other off spring, Anthony, 16, and Joan, 10. Neither is interested in an acting career. The heavy-set actor finds char acter roles in television and mov ies. His latest is a supporting role in "The Joker's Wild." "I figure Leslie should be ready for her first movie role in three or four months," Jackie concluded. "So far it's just play for her as it was with me when I was a child actor. Personally, I think she's got the makings to become a truly fine little actress." COLGATE DIRECTOR DIES New York (IP) Henry A.

Fiorelli, manager of Ehrlich's, a nearly century-old smoker sup ply house, blames this genera tion's tensions and anxieties. He says modern man is too jittery to be a pipe smoker. "Pipe smokers are traditional ly calm and tolerant," he said. "They are contemplative men who usually think carefully be fore making decisions. "The average man today is too harried to think about anything. I Life has become so speeded up that he thinks he s relaxing when he can take a few drags of a cigarette." Fiorelli said pipe smaking has declined sharply in the past 10 years. And he isn't optimistic about a comeback. "There are still people who prefer a pipe," he said. "Biggest demand comes from university professors, diplomats, clergy men. And, for some reason, air line pilots. "We are not getting the per centage of young people we'd like. Most of them are weaned away by the cigarette compan ies. The new generation regards a pipe smoker as something left over from the Victorian Age." Fiorelli tried cigarettes years ago but didn't like them. He smokes a meerschaum. "Most of your great thinkers were pipe smokers," he said. Milton, Tennyson, Emerson, Thackeray, Stevenson, Kipling, and Mark Twain, to name just a few. Even Queen Elizabeth of England tried a pipe after Sir Walter Raleigh brought tobacco from America. "Which ' reminds me. More women are smoking pipes these days. I don't know how that started. But I'd just as soon it hadn't." TENT SCHOOL Corte Madera, Calif. ftp) The Marin County Day School started classes for 90 second to eight graders in nine striped tents this fall. The children never thought school could be so much fun. The school, a pri vate institution, hopes to go to conventional classrooms when a new building is completed.
