„A high class comedy“

Editorial content. „,THE KID‘

      (First National)

      Long Heralded Chaplin Six Reeler Lives Up

      to Expectations

      MR. CHAPLIN‘S The Kid lives up to expectations

which is saying considerable. Perhaps no picture

has ever been ushered into official being with so much

to recommend it from an exhibitors standpoint.“ (...)

      „Viewed from the picture angle, with no thought of the

box office values, The Kid is a paradox. The picture

is not a Chaplin comedy. It is actually a drama, developed

with a splendid lot of highly original and absolutely

new incident, played in an exaggerated tempo with such skill,

not only by the star, but the entire supporting cast

that the result is a high class comedy.“ (...)
