“IF | WERE KING"” AT $ REX THURSDAY-FRIDAY Extensive preparations .a .r e being made at the Rex theater for the appearance of William Farnum | in “If 1 Were King,” the William Fox special screen production based on Justin Huntly McCarthy's famous play in_ which E. H. Sothern made a tremendous “hit.” “If I Were King” will open next Thursday. ) There is something about J\lstih‘ Huntly McCarthy’s story of “if 1 Were King” that forever lingers in the memory—not only because the play was a success, perhaps, .but also because the book was so widely read; in fact, still is being read.

This is the ‘aotum experience of Carlton Chase, | the International’ singing comedian, | who is to'appear Friday and Satur- |day on' the regular four act vaude- ville program ‘at, the Grand theater. ‘Caught in Johannesburg during the ‘‘flu” epidemic, Chase was report- ed 't dead. ‘‘Variety” Magazine, the actor’'s weekly gospel, said so, and the Austraftan - newspapers carried the obituaries. After touring Japan, China, the Phillipines, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Chase camq home, o find that his life in- surance had-been paid to a sister in Brooklyn, and that it had been spent New York, May 31.—If every much-disputed question in the world were checked up, none probably, not even the League of Nations would show quite as much argument given over to it as that of whether:or not New York is a coldly unfeeling, or a sociable, generous’ city. * The question was undergoing its regular hammering by an excited group the other evening -when one -~ woman “Lucy Jeanne Price t. b. m. is going to have no way out of ‘joining ‘his out-of-townifor-the- summer family for dinner every eve- ning, where-ever they may be.

We have all heard how Charlie Chaplin found him and real- jzed his screen possibilities; and how the famed comedian wasted no time in - signing Jackie to portray the title role of the now famous “The Kid.” That was the first picture young| Mr. Coogan appeared in. It is ‘sel- dom indeed that a player ascends the ladder to stardom via a single photo- play. But Jackie Coogan is the ex- ception. He not only won his spurs; as a silent drama celebrity, but has won a warm spot, in the heart of| every picture fan in the world. 1 And ‘speaking of winning hearts —it would be hard to describe the feeling of friendship that exists be- tween Jackie Coogan. and Charles Chaplin. When Jackie severed busi: ness relations with Mr. Chaplin ‘to assume the starring role of “Peck’s Bad, Boy,” is made no diff2:ence in their friendliness. Not a bit of it. Suffice it to say that Charles Chap- lin and this little wonder boy of the silver sheet are pals—have been pals from the very start—will always be In the role of andy Burke the brilliant artist sur- Ipaspest his notable characterization of Johnny Wiggins in his celebrated stage success, “Johnny, Get Your Gun,” and is given even freer rein to demonstrate his'right to screen star- dom than was afforded him in his re- markable success “‘Oh, Johnny!™ his first cinema starring vehicle. From first to last Bennison shows himeelf a true son of the west. While battling wiith cattle thieves in moun- tain fastnesses or depicting the plain, every-day cow-puncher of the range, there is always a true Western ring to his performance. .A seeker after adventure, Sandy Burke has his. fill of thrills from the moment he makes his way to a turbulent town im the western cattle country. He is hired o round up an organized band of thieves and sets himself to the task of fighting armed crooks .in their lown lair, single-handed.

No one except unanimous opinion in this world, of course, and there’s no reason why differences shouldn’t extend to one’s idea of pets. Bnt still—I just haven’t been able to eonjecture the temperament of the person who inserted this ad in an afternoon paper yesterday: “Baby turtles—Just what you need to bring life into the family.” It sounds like a joke in Philadelphia or some- thing, but it evidently is intended in_all seriousness.
