And so Jackie Coogan at eighty will never be the spendthrift that John D. Rockefeller i-, giving away nickels on his birthday. Though financially defunct at the ripe old age of nine, he's hale and hearty. I wouldn't go so far as to say he was a socialist. There's nothing radical in his attitude to lead you to suspect that he's a secret emissary of the Soviet, but he certainly is won over to the idea that the love of money is the root of all evil. And let me say here, in tribute to Coogan pert and Coogan mere, Jackie has never been allowed to know of his wealth. His mind is absolutely free from any appreciation of money, any worldly taint or false valuation. I have never encountered a child so unspoiled, so beautifully trained, so spiritual and lovable of nature as little Jackie Coogan. Will he continue to keep this rare quality of mind and spirit? Will that fine spark which Charlie Chaplin beheld with ecstasy and brought to a beautiful glow be preserved through the transition from child to man? Judgment is easily blurred by sentiment in the presence of such a child as Jackie. He evokes not only love, but a strange reverence, almost awe. You treat him not with the condescension of man toward child, but with deference due an equal. And he responds in kind. After meeting him several times with his serious little manner, his courtesies and profound remarks, you wonder: "Am I hypnotized? Can I be deluded by the aura of celebrity that surrounds him? Is he genius or child — just child? " Always upon leaving him your mind queries, " Genius or child? " Three years ago I spent an afternoon with Jackie, playing games on the floor. We talked. He danced for me. And recited with a reverence close to holy the words of "My Madonna." I thought of the Young King who stood in rags on the steps of the altar. . . . And lo! through the painted windows came the sunlight streaming upon him. and the sunbeams wove round him a tissued robe that was fairer than the robethat had been fashioned for his pleasure; he stood there in king's raiment, and the glory of God Tilled the place, and the trumpeters blew upon their trumpets, and the singing boys sang, and the Bishop's face grew pale, and his hand trembled. "A greater than I hath crowned thee.'' he cried, and he knelt before him. ... 1 thought of Jackie as the Young King. And I went away wondering. Three years later I returned, still wondering, and again I found the Young King. For me Jackie Coogan is a masterpiece of life. Can the world change, or time alter, such a masterpiece? Is he an artist inspired at birth or just a phenomenon, a precocious child? I -ought the answer from his maestro, the greatest of our artists, the man whom Jackie respectfully salutes as "Mr. Chaplin." Chaplin Talks About Jackie Chaplin's face illumined when I spoke of Jackie, and his eye shone. "Ah, Jackie, wonderful Jackie!" he exclaimed, and then I knew that the story is true — Charlie Chaplin loves Jackie. "When I had the little fellow he was just four. It was hard to get his attention, but what a marvelous understanding, what delicacy of feeling! "Jackie is inspiring and inspired. Just lo lie in his presence is to feel inspiration. His personality i beautiful, lovely. It's spiritual. You feel close to spirituality. "I was all enthusiasm about him when I directed him in 'The Kid.' I tried to have him do the things I thought a child should do. A child should be joyous and free — not sentimental or emotional — joyous and sunny and natural. He was that in 'The Kid.' "I saw him recently in 'Daddy.' I didn't like some of the things they had him do. I don't like to see a child in scenes of mature emotion — weeping over a deathbed and such. Yet such ^cenes were lovely just because Every advertisement in PnOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
