There is one boy in this land who dreamed thus, and who recently ex perienced the materialization of his dream. Jackie Coogan is an officer of the law, and this is how it all come about. ' These Are Real Cops. Jackie's company went to San Francisco to film scenes for his latest Metro-Goldwyn production, "Little Kob'mson Caruspe."

Life nets had been placed around the edge of the tank. The presence of the nets was a very fortunate mat ter for several actors and 'laborers who were thrown ouf of the tank when the latter overflowed in the on rush of the flood.
