THE RAG MAN
starring Jackie Coogan and Max Davidson
MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE
June, 1925

Jackie Coogan is The Kid again in this rather touching narrative about a waif who joins an old dealer in rags and junk. Together they make a great success of their enterprise, and a final sequence shows the two partners enjoying the luxuries of the most affluent and ease-loving of men. "The Rag Man" is an old friend in the story line, but it wears mighty well and is amusing and appealing.

We all realize that Jackie is growing up and is over his famous "kid" days, but there's no use in denying this -- he's an actor. As Tim Kelly, who escapes from an orphan home and goes into he "rag and old clothes" business with Max Ginsberg, he still retains that marvelous sympathetic appeal. The snappy title, the appealing story and Jackie himself will delight all fans.
