IN OUR OPINION THIS IS THE FINEST INTERVIEW EVER WRITTEN ON JACKIE T HE film colony is doing a great deal of talking and even more thinking about reincarnation these days. More than they've done since Jackie Coogan was "The Kid." And now another Jackie induces this interest . . . Jackie Cooper. As one of our finest screen actors says: "If you don't believe some of us are old souls, that some of us carry over a certain feeling and a certain knowledge from a previous existence, how in the name of thunder are you going to account for little Jackie Cooper? "Instinctively that kid knows more about acting than most of us ever will learn !" I thought of this actor's words when I saw Jackie during his visit to New York. His genius, and I'm sure you'll agree to my use of this word, is like a strange, brilliant streak running through what is otherwise the engaging personality of a healthy, normal little boy. In Jackie's manner, in Jackie's actions there is nothing to suggest he is any different from any other little American eight-year-old. Provided the other little American isn't extra good, or extra quiet or gentle. Providing too, that he doesn't dislike arithmetic . . . adores spinach so Photograph by Bill Crimes Jackie was recently given a typewriter with his name engraved on it. Was he thrilled? And he knows how to run it, you bet!
