& 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.
