JACKIE'S NEWEST HIS
EVERYTHING IN THRILLS
IS INTERESTING STORY
Jackie Coogan, that mysteriously
gifted child, has brought to the
screen a new characterization which
marks the dividing line between the
young genius’ babyhood and boyhood.
The news of the shearing of Jackie’s
locks wais doubtless attended by the
tears of his millions of feminine ad

mirers but they need have no cause
for apprehension—Jackie Coogan is
not lost to them. The tonsorial met
amorphorsis of Jackie Coogan is a
radiant surprise as you will see at
the Liberty theatre tonight, where
‘Jenny Get Your HaiTr Cut,” is on for
the first time.

The counselors of JaJckie Coogan
could have selected no finer vehicle
for this priod of Jackie’s career than
Gerald Beaumont’s vivid tale of the
turf. The story-follows faithfully the
origin of the author which appeared
hi a national magazine a short time
ago. Nothing important is left out
and nothng added that lacks in per
tinence and direct value.
The story s that of an orphaned
son of an erstwhile trainer of thor
oughbred race horces. On the deafh
of his father the youngster makes
his v. ay across the country in a horse
err to the California tracks where
he tries to obtain a position as an
apprentice jockey. With all the in
genuity of a determined adolescenl
Jackie works his way into the confi.
dence of “Mother Slapp,” a kindlj
woman who keeps a boarding house
for jockeys, and whose only compen
sation for feeding hungry mouths is
tips on the races, which are usually
bad ones. He meets Pop Slocum, £
derelict of the race track who ownes
a horse, and the two enter into £
pact. The events whch lead up t<
the big race are full of mischief anc
fun with Jackie ever present on the
screen.
The thrilling race track sequence
—the like of which we have neve!
before witnessed on the silver sheet
was directed by E. Reeves Eason, tin
man who was responsible for th<
chariot race scenes in “Ben Hur.’
