JACKIE COOGANJI Davey Lee Is Hollywood ‘Find’

"t v %,, I > :

Davcy Lee . , another Jackie Coogan discovered in Hollywood . . . with A1 Jolson. inset, BY GENE COHN IS’EA Service Writer NEW YORK, Sept,. 29.—Nothing like Davey Lee has happened to the screen since Jackie Coogan broke the heart of the world when he first appeared with Charlie Chaplin in "The Kid.’’ Jackie's a big boy now; big enough to take off his well-worn crown and toss it to a tyke of three who never had so much as looked into a movie camera until a few' months ago. Today the name of Davey Lee is heard up and dow r n Broadway. Critics are hailing him as the greatest baby that ever appeared in the pictures. He has all but "stolen - ’ a picture from the mighty A1 Jolson, that biggest of box-office stars, in “‘The Singing Fool.’,’ Some insist that he did steal the picture.

And, if you believe the story Jolson told me, Davey’s one of those accidents that seem to happen so frequently in Hollywood. Oh, Davey knows his movie lots well enough. But his role, to date, has always beep one of “the baby that mother Brought along.” He had a “big brother,” Frankie Lee, who has been a “movie kid” for quite a while. Frankie’s mother made the rounds Os the lots often. But it was always to get, a part for Frankie. No one so much as thought of Davey. He was just a baby. Some day his turn would come. Well, Frankie’s mother took him out to the Warner lot when the word went round that A1 Jolson was going to shoot a “kid picture.” A lot of other movie mothers had their youngsters out. It was a big part and everyone knew it. tt U tt “/''VNE morning, says Jolson, “I v/ was going on the lot, getting ready to look the kids over. As I walked through the waiting room I saw Davey. He’d been parked there by his mother. “Since it was going to be a picture in which a youngster had to carry a lot of the load, I was hoping I could get hold of one that would take to me—really like me, so I could handle him. I’ve seen enough of theatrical kids to know how spoiled a lot of them are. “Well, anyway, I liked the looks of the youngster in the waiting room and stopped to play with him a minute. And the first thing I knew he was coming over and throwing his little arms around my neck. “That got under my skin. I asked if this kid had ever performed. They told me he wasn’t a movie kid. So I suggested we give him a chance. And what he did speaks for itself. The kid’s a great actor.”

A Prize for Your Ideas Is there something wrong with the present generation? Is the modem girl “hell-bent” or not? There is no theme of controversial discussion that claims so much space in newspapers and magazines, with the exception of prohibition, as the morals and principles of the modern girl. Some of the best known writers and thinkers aver that she is on the road to social suicide. Others of equal mentality are quite definite in saying she is as sound and wholesome as in the days of Victorian prudishness. Girls, what is your opinion? And also what do the boys and mothers and fathers think of the modern type of girl? Is she the type that *wins the lasting love of a husband or is she the “kind that men forget”? This is the theme of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, “Our Dancing Daughters,” which comes to Loew’s Palace Theater Sunday for one week. It revives the old question of whether the girl who makes a play of inocence is more popular and more certain of marriage than one who shows her knowledge of the world.

U.S. DECLINES ‘TO HOLD BAG’ IN NAVY PACT Turns Down Anglo-French Proposals as Handing America ‘Short End.’ : NOTES MADE PUBLIC i—- ! Washington Ready to Listen to New Plan, Reply Sets Forth. BY MAURITZ A. HALLGRFN tnltrd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.—The United States Government stood ready today to listen to any new disarmament proposal, fully protecting American naval interests and national needs. But it opposes the Anglo-French naval pact because that obviously is intended to limit American sea strength while materially enhancing Franco-British offensive power. This was revealed clearly today as America's position on the AngloFrench naval plan, following publication of identical notes Secretary of State Kellogg sent France and Great Britain. These notes said: No program that might place this country at a disadvantage oon the seas need be submitted. The AngloFrench arrangement not only would have had this result, but also would have led “to a recrudensence of nacal competition." the notes declared. Light Cruisers Indorsed This firm stand on the naval question is expected to have serious reverberations in Europe, according to well-informed opinion here. Summarized, the notes, replying i to request for America's opinion of the Anglo-French plan, set forth the following as reasons for disapproving that plan: It provides for the limitation of cruisers carrying eight-inch guns, which are “peculiarly suited to the needs of the United States,” while leaving unlimited light cruisers carrying guns of six-inch or smaller caliber, which England requires. This section of the proposal the United States considers “even more objectionable” than the British program submitted at Geneva last year, and rejected by the American delegation. Insufficient Limitation It provides for no limitation On submarines under 600 tons, which France says she needs. Acording to American opiinon. ships of this size "are formidable combatant vessels.” It conflicts with the American theory “that any limitation of naval armaments to be effective should apply to all classes of combatant vessels.” It “leaves unlimited a very large class of effective fighting ships and this very fact would inevitably lead to a recrudescence of naval competition.” Reply .to Secrecy Publication of the American reply was looked upon by observers as President Coolldge’s answer to secrecy with which England and France, attempted to hedge their understanding and to the garbled publicity later given that agreement following unsubstantiated reports of supposedly sinister motives behind the agreement.

Goaded by the failure of his policemen to clean up the city after six weeks of grand jury investigation, Mackey has decided to resort to the mast drastic police shake-up ever ordered in a large American city. It was about a month ago—after the grand jury had unearthed evidence pointing to wholesale bribery and the existence of a liquor syndicate that had made profits of approximately slo.ooo,ooo—that Mackey sent out the word for police to clean up the city in twenty-four hours. Three days’ after that order w ent out special detectives working under John Monoghan, district attorney, still were raiding distilleries in the shadow’ of city hall. Thirty-four policemen are under arrest, and Moraghan predicts that others will be taken into custody soon. Today every police captain in the city will receive orders to file a report Monday on conditions in his district. Every policeman In the city will be moved to anew district, with none of them knowing his destination until he gets his orders. Their reports will be checked against those of the captains. Monaghan announced that indictments would be returned against several policemen Monday and that the defendants w’ould be put on trial as fast as the courts could take can of their cases. Joel D. Kerper, who pleaded guilty to selling liquor to persons high in Philadelphia society, was fined $20,000 and sentenced to fifteen months in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta Friday. It was the heaviest fine ever assessed in Federal Court here. LUNCH CAR ROBBED Nervous Pair of Bandits Escape With $25. Two masked and nervous bandits forced Richard G. Horn, 27, of 20 E.
