The Kid Poster
& Chaplin Line Nearly Stops Street Traffic
The popularity of Charlie Chaplin as a screen attraction
is being most conclusively proven at the Kinema
theater this week where he is to be seen in „The Kid.“
On Sunday in addition to the four regular men
who handle the line of ticket buyers two additional employees
had to be employed because of the throngs
that mobbed the box office in an endeavor to get seats.
As evening approached even this augmented
staff could not cope with the fast growing line, and the
Kinema management was forced to send a call
to central station for police reserves to help handle the
throngs and prevent traffic congestion.

Charles Chaplin‘s picture, „The Kid,“ has been enjoying

downtown showing has attracted crowds of people. (...)
It has been estimated that the picture will
show to more than 1,000,000 persons during a single
week in this country, owing to the many releases
of the film and its unusual vogue.

„,BETTER GO OUT AND BREAK
ANOTHER WINDOW, KID,
BUSINESS IS GETTING SLOW.‘
,ALL RIGHT, POP!
HERE GOES!‘
The daylight trials of motherhood, the midnight trials
of paternity are all for Chaplin, in this super-comedy.
He was a good mother to the Kid, and when that Kid grew
up he sure became a good son; for Charlie is a
wandering glazier, and while the Kid went ahead breaking
windows, Charlie was always at hand to get the job
of mending them. Never expected that of Charlie, did you?
Well, here‘s where you get something more
than laughs!“ (...)
