„You cannot understand a word he says“

Editorial content. „TELL OF MOVIE SCOUTS

      Film scouts, men whose duty it is to find out what the

other fellow is doing in the way of new pictures, are

regarded as a legitimate part of the trade by some producers.

There is a story of the effort to discover what was

keeping Charlie Chaplin busy, when he was engaged in the

filming of The Kid released as an Associated First

National attraction, and now being shown at the Kinema.

      The scout had no troubles getting into the

Chaplin studios in Hollywood and apparently in seeing

a number of scenes being taken. A friend of the

producer who had sent out the scout, heard of the success

of the venture and inquired about it.

      ,I understand you got a pretty good line on what Chaplin

was doing,‘ he remarked to the producer.

      ,I did not,‘ was the sour retort.

      ,Why, I understand that your man Smith got in and

succeeded in not only watching some of the

,shooting,‘ but even had a chance to read the script,‘

insisted the friend.

      ,I guess probably he did,‘ said the disgusted producer,

,but that is all the good it does me. Every time he tries

to tell me about the story he gets to laughing so hard that you 

cannot understand a word he says.‘“

      Kinema Theater, Grand at Seventh, Los Angeles.

     The Kid is released by First National

      in Los Angeles March 5, 1921.
