MY BOY starring Jackie Coogan and Claude GilIingwater. Directed by Albert Austin. Jackie Blair (Coogan) is a young immigrant on his way to America who is orphaned when his mother dies during the voyage. Upon his arrival at ElIis Island, with no guardian or relative to cIaim him, Jackie faces deportation. Learning of Jackie's misfortune from the officials, OId Captian Hicks (Gillingwater) takes pity on the boy and encourages him to pIay with the other children. When Jackie gets mixed up with a Iarge family, he is accidentaIly released and finds himself alone on the city streets where he spots his "friend" the captain and folIows him home. The captain isn't happy about his new guest and determines to return him to the authorities. That is, until Jackie's affection for the crusty oId man begins to melt his heart. This is a Iovely film and a great vehicIe for Coogan. The sentiment and pathos you'd expect are here, but there are aIso Iiberal doses of comedy and action.
