WISTFUL QUALITY AND
APPEAL LIBERTY FILM
• I
I
In each picture thus far revealing
the genius of Jackie Coogan, a differ
ent facet of his singular appeal has
been disclosed. Since the first day j
Jackie was seen on the old silver sheet
with Charlie Chaplpti, in “Old Clothes”
his most recent film release, every
characterization depicted by Jackie
has been different from every other.
Different depths of pathos, different
heights of tragedy and different qual
ities of humor have been explored in
the kaleidoscopic art of this wonder
child.
Now comes “Johnny get your hair
cut,” different from all the others, and
as presented last night at the Liberty
theater is as effective as the best
Jackie has given to 'the world of his
admirers. It may not be as elaborate
as others he has made; its plot is sim
pler and less involved; it is not so
adventurous as “The rag man” nor
as harrowing as “Oliver Twist,"but
it possesses more human appeal with
its delightfully wistful spiritual qual
ity. The verdict of last night’s aud
ience seemed, to be that of, all the pic
tures thus far made “Johnny Oet
Your Hair Cut” was the most human.
