Uy HARKISUN CARROLL Copyright, ts:t« King Fralurro Syndicate, toe. HOLLYWOOD—In a few hours after the Coogan suit hit the headlines, cVfers were made to

Charlie Chaplin to reissue "The Kid", in which Jackie, a wist-ful-eyed youngster, made his debut on the screen. The picture, in view of the publicity of the suit, probably would reap a fortune, but Chaplin has refused to show it again.

His studio manager. Al Reeves, told me: "Mr. Chaplin doesn't like his pictures to appear after they are five years old. He feels that photography and other details of production change too rapidly for an old film to be shown to advantage. If he ever reissues the comedies, he wants to give them a working over first "Besides, in this particular case, why should we take advantage of that kind of publicity?” Public reaction already has begun to manifest itself in the Coogan case. His attorneys are swamped with calls from people in all walks of life and, though Jackie and Betty Grable have a private number, they received so many calls that they had to flee the house. < Letters will come later. It is Inevitable that this case will be tried by the public as well as in the courts. After listening to the pleasant speaking voice of Richard Greene in “Four Men and a Prayer”, Twentieth Century-Fox has decreed that he shall sing in the Henie picture, “They Met in College”. It will be the first time he has done it on the screen, but the news will not surprise Hollywood. Zanuck likes all his stars to sing. Prior to his vacation, the dynamic boss of Twentieth CenturyFox also has done the expected in taking up the option of Arleen Whelan, the ex-Hollywood manicurist who gets her big chance in “Kidnaped”. The studio picked up the ticket eight weeks before the appointed date.

It is the “inline" type (like a straight eight) instead ot the “radio" motor now in common use. Picture, “The Devil's Party”, has such an all-Irish cast and stafl that Director Ray McCarey refers to the troupe as "McCarey's Universal Abbey Players".

Leaders of the ring had planned to sell them at 20 cents on the dollar to underworld “passers."

For Gunboat Attack — Tokyo, Apr. 22.—(U.FJ—The for ’ eign office today presented Eugene ' IL Dooman, counselpr of the American embassy, with a draft for $2,214,007.36 in full payment of the indemnity asked by the United States for a Japanese airplane at- : tack on the gunboat Panay und three Staindard Oil ships. Thus ended the most serious Jap anese-American incident of the Chinese war. precipitated when Japanese navy airplanes swept down over the Yangtse river in China last December 12 and bombed the American ship—the Panay—which had American diplomatic representatives and American and foreign newspaper men as passengers, in addition to its naval crew. Tile United States billed Japan for the damage last month, Japan asked for an itemized bill, and the draft was made ready as soon as the bill was received. A foreign office spokesman, discussing today reports published in China that American and British oil companies might be forced to evacuate northern China, said that reports that Japan might establish an oil monopoly there were based ' on a misunderstanding. The spokes man said that Japan did not intend to establish a monopoloy. A Japanese company was importing and distributing oil for military purposes, the spokesman said, but was leaving the distribution to the ! ' public to companies of other nationalities. __ o Mrs. John Peterson left this morning for Fort Wayne, where she will visit for two days before continuing to Indianapolis for a ten days visit with her non.
