Seldom does one person have both, but Jackie Coogan comes tn this select class. Despite his eight and a half years, there seems to be no situation, no emotion, which he cannot and having grasped, portray in such fashion that it will ring the answer- ing note in the hearts of those who watch him on the screen. “Long Live the King,” his first Metro picture, which comes to the Rialto Theatre today, Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday, reveals Jackie at the zenith of his powers in a de- Ughtfully romantic story by the su- Preme spinner of romantic tales, Mary Roberts Rinehart. Even without its star, “Long Live the King" would rank high as a clgematic achlevernent. With Jackie Coogan, it achieves distinction as a film masterpiece. No characterization which Jackie has created heretofore has fitted him so completely as the role of Crown Prince of Lavonia. Ferdinand Wil- lam Otto tn the story, and as Jackie portrays him in the picture, is all boy. Every emotion—of joy, of sad- hess, of puzzlement, of wistful desire, and of juven'le mischievousness, to which the normal eight-year-oid fs heir, 1s to be found in Jackie's por- trayal, His trials are those of any adventurous lad under the discipline which falls to the lot of youth in high station; his woes are tose ot any lad orphaned and barred by con- ventions from free companionship with other boys; his joys are those of any boy temporarily released from kindly, omnipresent tute- lage; bis happiness is that of any youngster over the acquisition of new playthings or the consummation of other childish wishes. In short, the Crown Prince of La- vonia, despite his rank and title, is known juvenile dealing men in the the boy who !s yours in your dreams cinema world plays a prominent part | in “The Spider and the Rose.” He) enjoys stellar honors in this photo-| Play with Alice Lake who has been! featured in numerous successful pic-| tures, Richard Headrick, Joseph J.| Dowling, Robert McKim, Noah Ber-| ry, Alee B.

GENUINE ALL-STAR CAST IN MARY PICKFORD’S NEW COMING TUESDAY TO AMERICA cast for Mary Pickford's United Artists’ production, “Rosita,” embodies a collection of stage and screen stars such as has never been seen before in support of this world’s famous star. Miss’ Pickford, dn the role of Rosita, portrays a character which is a distinct departure from any impersonation heretofore attempted by her. Rosita, while the main character in the story is not ono equally accepted for starring pur- Doses, The portrayal of the king of Spain was entrusted to the eminent | actor, Holbrook Blinn. While this {s Mr. Blinn’s first important appear- ance on the screen, his fame as a stage celebrity is renowned. The important role of the queen of Spain is enacted by Irene Rich,| & most capable leading woman and a well-known screen favorite. Misa Rich will be remembered as leading woman in support of Will Rogers. George Walsh who plays the hero, Don Diego, count of Alcala, a Spanish cavalier, is ideally suited for this important role. | Charles Belcher, who plays the part | of the Prime Minister, is a most; interesting character actor. He will! be remembered in “The Three | Musketeers” as the soldier who| fought the interesting duel in with | Douglas Fairbanks as D'Artagnan. | The lesser roles in “Rosita” are | Played by most capable actors and actresses suitable for the types. A | ™most unique combination is that of; Snitz Edwards and Bert Sprotte, a | team of comedians playing tragic | roles of “big” and “little” jailers. | George Periolat, well known char: | acter actor, plays the part of | Rosita’s father, while Mme.

Martin, and William Cameron Menjes, staff artists of the Mary Pickford company.
