„Violating practically every booking tradition“

Editorial content. „,The Kid‘ Booking Day and Date

      Into Competing Theatres

      The Kid, Charlie Chaplin‘s six reels of joy, distributed

through Associated First National Pictures, Inc.,

is not only breaking box office and attending records

in every part of the country, but according

to reports from exhibitors and exchanges it is violating

practically every booking tradition ever established

in the trade, going in day and date into competing houses

and holding up just as strong in all of them

as it could have if booked exclusively into one.

      Eighteen first-run houses in Boston and the environment

ran the comedy for the solid week beginning

February 14, and every house reports biggest receipts

and the largest attendance in its history.“ (...)

      „Milwaukee, Wis., reports the peculiar situation of the

overflow from The Kid causing record-breaking

business at another theatre, where the current attraction was

pulling close to capacity houses on its own appeal.“ (...)
