The success of Jackie Cooper is not an accident. He is the most amazing child for his age I have ever met. I had luncheon with him last week and his conversation is that of a grown-up. He told me some of the tricks in "Young Donovan's Kid" when the director pretended he was giving the part to another child.
"I was so mad," said Jackie, "that I went in and acted as I have never acted in my life."
Jackie's favorite actor is Richard Dix, first, last and always. Jackie wouldn't commit himself on his favorite actress. His mother says Mitzi Green is his favorite actress and best girl, but Jackie put a stop to that by saying:
"I haven't got time for those sissy things."
