HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. 16.—Appropriate casting-of-the- week: Jackie Coogan in a new road-show coinpany of “What a Life!” Here’s a young man who as a boy had everything, including millions and fame. Here's a fellow who has lived his life in re- verse, attaining in infancy the fortune few men can hope to have in old age—and growing up, no longer “cute,” to find he hasn't got millions after all, to find himself involved in a protracted legal fight to determine just what he has—a fight with his mother and his stepfather. Here's young Coogan, that fight settled, and his xmmage to Betty Grable apparently ended—young Coogs,n l’ starting out again, this time alone. P _" And in “What a Life!” he must play the role of a houncy, unsophisticated kid who doesn’t know much about life. What a ; life!
