„Wipe real tears of sympathy from the eyes“

Editorial content. „,The Kid‘ Moves

      Down to Kinema

      Charles Chaplin‘s six-reel monument to laughter, The Kid,

did the expected heavy business at the Kinema theater

Sunday. Chaplin wrote the comedy himself and it causes

shrieks of merriment to reverberate throughout the

theater at every showing. But there is pathos, real and tender,

punctuating many of its episodes; the heart-appeal

that the little comedian has injected into his joyfest gives just

the necessary amount of contrast to make the film

just about the most enjoyable thing of its type ever given to the

silver screen.

      Several times during the unfolding of The Kid the

comedian makes one swallow a lump and wipe

real tears of sympathy from the eyes; then in an instant he leaps

from the sublime to the ridiculous and a gale of laughter

sweeps through the house.

      Supporting Chaplin is little Jackie Coogan,

a precocious youngster who contributes

in no small way to the excellence of the offering.“

     Kinema Theater, Grand at Seventh, Los Angeles.

     The Kid is released by First National

      in Los Angeles March 5, 1921.
