& Regarding Chaplin
In the official announcement of First National covering
its releases for next year, there is no mention of any releases
from Charlie Chaplin.
At First National, it was stated that Chaplin has four more
to deliver to the circuit and that no mention was made
of his pictures because „there was no way of telling when
they would come through.“

& Announcement is made that Charlie
Chaplin‘s big special titled „The Kid“ is now receiving
the finishing touches.

„Believe they will have a distinct surprise“
Editorial content. „Chaplin‘s Latest
Named ,The Kid‘
First National franchise holders are eagerly awaiting
The Kid, Charlie Chaplin‘s multiple reel comedy,
which has been several months in the making at Chaplin‘s
Hollywood studios.
The Kid is said, according to those who have seen
it in rough continuity at the west coast studios,
to be a screen knockout, crammed with any number
of screaming situations and inimitable bits
of business that can only be registered by the famous
comedian.
No news is forthcoming at this time as to just when
franchise holders can expect to secure their prints
on this production, but the clamor for another Chaplin
picture is heard from all parts of the world and
indications are that it will be given a tremendous reception
as soon as the release date is announced.
The exact nature of the production is being kept
a secret by the Chaplin executives who
believe they will have a distinct surprise to spring
on the legions of theatre goers, who swear
by the diminutive fun maker with the baggy trousers,
oversize shoes and flexible walking stick.“
