COOGAN ALLEGES “MY STEPFATHER IS BETTING WITH MY £800,000"
Hollywood, Apr. 16.
THE world has always thought that Jackie Coogan whom Chaplin made famous in "The Kid," is a young millionaire. To-day the former child star asserts: "I'm broke."
He has filed a suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing his mother and stepfather, Arthur L. Bernstein, of withholding his fortune of £800,000.
Since his 21st birthday two years ago, Jackie declares, have received absolutely nothing. I have been forced to live on my modest earnings as an actor."
Judge Emmet Wilson has ap-| pointed a receiver for all assets. owned by Jackie, his mother, i and Bernstein, and has set next Wednesday as the date of the hearing of the suit, which has come lite a bombshell to the film colony.
Mr. Bernstein retorts: "Jackie a child star nover earned as
£800,000. All these charges are absurd. He is suffering from hallucinations. He received from us everything to which he was entitled--and more."
His mother says: "I am hurt and deeply shocked. Jackie claims he has nothing, that I refused to give him any part in his estate. No pro- mises were ever made to give him anything."
Sadly Jackle insists: "I've waited pallently for mother and Bernstein to make an accounting to me of my property. I owe it as a duty to my wife, Betty Grable, and myself not to wait any longer. 1 my father lived no controversy would have arisen."
"A BEER BUSINESS" Mr. Coogan sen., who was kuled in a car smash in 1935, decided that his famous child should be brought up with simple tastes and therefore gave him only limited funds. Judge Wilson expressly exempts Mr. Coo- gan from any blame in connection with Jackie's complaint.
Until he was 21, says Jackde, all he received was 25s. a week pockel- money, a £100 car, £300 worth of presents, and a £1,400 insurance polley.
When 21 he went to his mother expecting to receive his childhood; earnings, but says she replied: "You mine and haven't a cent. It's all
We are con- Arthur's. As far as cerned, you never will get a cent."
Nevertheless, Jackle sets forth in his suit that he does not blame his mother, and believes that she neled under the domination of Bernstein, | whom she married a year after his father's death,
Mr. Bernstein was a friend of Mr. Coogan and is reputed to have ener- mously increased Jackie's fortune by wise investments.
Jackle sceuses him of spending his money on races and betting, appro- watch prioting a £500 platinum presented by an admirer, and of running a beer business from the offees of the Coogan Production Company, which was formed when Jackie contemplated financing his awn films.
