& Charlie Chaplin‘s „The Kid“ in Chicago (...)

      The Chicago Herald-Examiner, Jan. 17 had the following

to say regarding Chaplin‘s newest feature-length comedy:

      „Yesterday morning about 9 all the film comedians who have

been taking Chaplin‘s place took their hats in their hands

and eased themselves out the back way. Along with them went

those who have been assuring themselves that Charlie

Chaplin had lost out by staying away from home so long. Nobody

waved good-by. Everybody was in the parlor feeding

bunks of fatted calf to Charlie himself; yes, sir, Charlie himself,

home now from a year‘s absence on leave – and love!

      „The parlor was the Randolph theatre, and when, in the

middle of a picture called The Kid, around an alley wall

there suddenly appeared a little man with big feet and a small

mustache, people burst out clapping their hands and

laughing, and some of them not at all sure whether they were

laughing or crying. It was the first place in America

that Charlie had presented himself, and, ,home-coming‘ is no

name for it.
