Child Movie Stars Given EveryXddre BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Poor little thing! I suppose the mother and father are swelling around in a Rolls Royce on what that child earns. I do wish thfey’d get after people who allow their children to work in the movies.” I’ve heard similar remarks, and so have you since Jackie Coogan first smiled out at you from under his long black lashes, or Wesley Barry began to cash in on his polkadotted countenance. Asa matter of fact, if children could be looked after as tenderly, as intelligently, and as commonsensibly as the children of school age and under who work for the various movie studios, we should have little use for children’s clinics. doctors and hospitals. "To begin with, every child who renders service to a motion picture company, whether he be a screen star at a high sdlary or merely an extra who does a stunt for five dollars, is doing his work with the permission of the department of child supervision with a special permit for each picture.

occasionally happen in the best of pictures, care is ~ taken that the baby’s own special brand of milk is sent from afar to the location on which the company is playing, and the mother probably is as near as the director can permit her to be, without showing up in the picture. Whether or not 'you or I should choose to allow our children to be in the movies is not under discussion. We might or we might not permit it. This article is merely to relieve the minds of those who allow an evening to be spoiled by a child artist, and spend the time wondering what school authorities, or. welfare authorities they should write to about it. .
