Screenlife By HUBBARD KEAVY HOLLYWOOD Colncidentally, the "five year old Coogan," Robert, is starting in pictures at the age Jackie did and looks almost exactly as Jackie did when he appeared in "The Kid" eleven years ago. Robert has the same sad, "lost" expression so characteristic of Jackie in those days. The role the youngest Coogan Is playing came unexpectedly. A number of lads from four to six years had been interviewed and tested for the fiart of Sooky, Skippy's companion in he picture "Skippy," yet none were satisfactory, i A director saw Robert and insisted on having him. His parents were will HIS.

uuv bllCJT 11CVC1 CAJCVbCU xwuciu to follow In Jackie's footsteps. Young Robert doesn't take to acting with the youthful vigor Jackie did. To him it's all work and no play, and even the money he makes doesn't seem to count. He may become as serious minded as Jackie; now he is more mlschevlous than the average five year old. i The director was focusing the camera on Robert, who got fidgety and was nearly every place but within the range of the lens.

The director, Irritated, finally told him to stand still. What might have been an unpleasant day for Robert as well as the director was averted when he naively inquired: "But isn't this a moving picture?" Coslv Wait A high priced and temperamental director was waiting. So also waited the star, more expensive, more temperamental. Fifteen minutes had passed when a woman said, "All right, he's ready now." The woman was nursing "him," six months old. Money or temperament mean absolutely nothing when a baby is hungry and won't act unless he is fed.

Unsung Heroes Unnamed movie workers suffer disappointments as well as the stars whose pictures are flops. A third assistant director was assigned to provide forty automobiles of the years 1915, 1918 and 1917 for' a picture dating back to the opening years of the war. After nearly a week, he rounded up the necessary vehicles. The scenes were taken, with the cars playing a prominent part in them. nut tne part wasn prominent enough.

The picture was too long and the auto scenes were eliminated. Bankruptcies among women in England occur most often among mil liners, dressmakers, grocers, clothiers and lodging house keepers. i tit Gtttml MUttrk out mij Sstm tstltt mlJt KICi Hollywood in CONSIDER FIGHT ON WATER RATES The meeting of the Durtmore Tax payers' association' scheduled to be held in the Dunmore High school auditorium last night was postponed until next week.

It was decided to conduct another meeting of those who attended last night's meeting, and anyone else wishing to attend, tomorrow evening in Webber showrooms. In an effort to Ret contributions for the fight, Burgess Webber offered to give a banquet in the Old Homestead some time in the near future. No action was taken on Mr. Webber's of fer, however.
