JACKIE COOGAN.
£IOOO A WEEK IN LONDON. POCKET MONEY £l. Jackie Coogan, the boy film star, accompanied by his father and his mother, arrived in Plymouth Sound on board the French liner France on the way to France (says a London paper). Beporters found that the boy, who is now 14, had been asleep since 9 o'clock the previous night. "Jackie is always in bed at 9 o'clock. We make that an absolute rule," said his father. Mr Coogan said he and Jackie had come to Europe to do a vaudeville tour in Franoe and England and to "spy out the land" for Jackie's next film. The picture is to have an English story and English settings. "Coogan Pere et Fils" open at Nice, going from there to Marseilles and thence to Paris. They open at the Palladium, London, at £IOOO a week. Asked if Jackie is still having his pocket money "rationed," Mr Coogan said he was "getting very high-priced now." In London he will have a pound a week to spend. While in England he is to have a special tutor to teach him French, German and mathematics.
On the voyage Jackie won the open tennis tournament, in which he was the only boy to enter.
