She says she will not go on the road with The Big Fight because she doesn't want to be away from pictures that long. Monta Bell directed her in a short-reel talking subject for the Actors' Fund, and her voice is said to register very well. Some smart producer will probably try to snatch her right out from under the movies' nose, and then her love for pictures will be put to the test! Anyway, Hollywood can boast that one of its best girls has made good in a big way on Broadway. Norman Kerry is in town. Norman, the debonair; Mr. Kerry, the slightly mysterious. I say mysterious because, just when I think I have tracked him down, he eludes me — he and his snappy little moustachios. I see him here and I see him there — at the theatres and at movie first nights. Mostly alone; always immaculately and handsomely attired; and looking oh, so interesting. The story I hear says that Universal and MetroGoldwyn were both angling for his services and that each company thought the other had signed him, and so stopped bidding. But I can't believe that any wise film company 'would stop bidding for Mr. Kerry's services. I know I wouldn't. More about him later. I'll get him yet. Make me a child again, just for tonight! Then I could play with Jackie Coogan. As it is, Jackie is polite and charming and "wellbehaved but a little too formal. He likes grown-ups all right; but he is slightly bored with them, especially interviewers. That's why I like Jackie. He remains, in spite of all his fame and his fortune, just a perfectly delightful, natural and normal small boy. The Coogans, father and son, Jackies Senior and Junior, have a vaudeville act now. They played a week at the Paramount Theatre in New York. All the town apparently turned out to see the Kid and his dad do their stuff. Their act is amusing, though a trifle sophisticated for the children who come to see Jackie in the flesh. Son kids father and father spoofs son. I am sentimental. I should have preferred a more respectful and dignified presentation of the talents of the Coogans. But Jackie is a picture in his juvenile replica of his father's Oxfordian attire. He dances, he recites. And you're glad you came. But Jackie, personally, is so much more charming. There is not much of the actor about him and very much of the boy. He's goingon-fourteen. He is nice and brown from swims in the California sun. His big brown eyes brim with life. His smile is engaging. He looks for all the world like Douglas Fairbanks when he grins. "I'm going to school in Switzerland," said Jackie. "We have vaudeville engagements in London, Paris, and Berlin, perhaps other foreign capitals. Then I'll enter school and stay there a term. I'll only be allowed to speak French, I think — and I don't know any, yet — or very much. Yes, I want to do pictures again. Comedy-drama — that's the sort of thing I do. I like Wings and The Air Circus. Arthur Lake is great; so is Richard Arlen. I love aviation. I want to fly in my own plane some day. They won't let me now. On account of the insurance." He never saw The Kid. He was just four years old when Charlie Chaplin chose him for the role. His wise parents, and Chaplin, thought it best not to let the child see himself on the screen. And when he grew up a little more, it just happened he never did see it. He has seen several scenes from it — he uses these shots in his act; but never the complete picture. He likes johnny Get Tour Hair Cut as well as anything he has done. He seems a singularly unspoiled child. That is, he is even more unspoiled than most boys of his age with doting parents and prosperous surroundings. Before you have talked to Jackie very long you are conscious that you're in the presence of a very rare and unique person. You cease to regard him as a youngster. You think of geniuses and wonder if this small boy isn't going to grow up to be somebody even more important than the baby who won the world's love in The Kid. Just keep your eye on Jackie Coogan. He was no accident. Connie Talmadge and Peg stopped off before sailing for France. Somehow I don't think Constance was so very happy about going to Europe this time. She is to make at least one picture at the Nice, France, studios where Rex Ingram has been working. Her first will be under the direction of Louis Mercanton, well-known French director, and will be called Venus. United Artists will release it. It is, I believe, a little more serious than the sort of thing Constance usually gives us. There's a rather interesting angle on this Talmadge picture. You remember Connie's last husband was Captain Alastair Macintosh, the interesting Scotchman who is said to be a good friend of the Prince of Wales and other important people. Well, he has just married again — an American heiress named Leila Emery is the new Mrs. Macintosh — and she, by the way, was once rumored engaged to Michael Aslen, the novelist. (And while we are on the subject: Mr. Arlen is married to Countess Atlanta Mercati — and isn't that a gorgeous name?) The point is, that Captain Macintosh has been working with the Ingram company at the Nice studios, in some executive capacity. The question arises, will he still be there when Constance arrives to make her picture? Probably not; but isn't it exciting to think about? Hail, hail, the Gang's all here! Fatty Joe Cobb, and little Farina, and Jean Darling, and Mary Ann Jackson, and Harry Spear, the tough one, and 'Wheezer,' in private life Bobby Hutcheson — all here. Our gang from the Hal Roach Studios are on their personal appearance tour, and so of course they came to New York to do their act at the Capitol Theatre. Their director, Robert McGowan, was here too. He is just the nice, understanding, sympathetic sort of man you would expect to find directing a bunch of kids. They adore him and he's crazy about them. No wonder they get such results! Joe Cobb looks just as you'd expect. He's a nice boy. Farina, who is really Allen Clay Hoskins, Jr., is the chocolate drop of the troupe, as as lively as he looks. Mary Ann Jackson is a cute little trick, while Jean Darling, the leading lady, will doubtless be a screen beauty when she grows up; in fact, she is now. Harry Spear comes of a theatrical family; his grandfather was stage manager for Charles Frohman and his father an actor. 'Wheezer,' the baby of the
