Charlie Chaplin has hit the high 8] in delightful entertainment in His first 'attempt at a featurc length picture, “The Kid,” which is the title he has given the story, which he has written himself, is to us, the most enjoyable Chaplin film we have ever geen. In the first place fit #imply bubbles over with laughter and the situations are so human that you do not, feel foolish because Yyou are laughing. = Again, it jis long cnough so that it.provides a Whole evening's entertainment dnfitself. Had some one told us before we saw “The Kid” that we ‘could be convinced that the character which Charlie has always represefited on ‘the scneen could be present in such a way that we could wisualize him' as a Hving breathing mortal, we would have been inclined to doubt. But several times during the course of “The Kid” this comedian made us gwallow a lump in our throats and ‘wipe neal tears of sympathy from our eyes by the pathos of his acting, and before our handkerchief was back in our pocket it was needed again to dry our cheeks of the tears caused by the shrieks of; laughter from the an- tics of the same actor. ‘As a ‘comedy the production is & winner; as a dramatic productfon it ranks high; but the strongest appeal this First National six reel of joy made to. us. way to bring the reali- zation,that Charlies Chaplin is not a clown but one of the most consumate actors on the screen teday. “WET GOLD” AT GRAND TOMORROW AND JULY 4th “Wet Gold” by J; Ernest William- gon, directed by Ralph Inee and dis- tributed by Goldwyn, will be shown at the Grand theater tomorrow and Monday, the Fourth of July. Itisa tale of two rival factions to recover stolen treasure hidden in an old wreck at the bottom of the sea. The remarkable features of ‘‘Wet Gold” lare the use of glving suits, a subma- rine lying on the bottom of the sea ad a, base of operations, and the un- canny acting of the cast in their roles of searchers of the ocean deep. Some of the most beautiful scenes in “Wet Gold” were taken at the race| track in Havana, Cuba, where an old Southerner, who had staked his last cent on a favonite colt and lost, de- aldes. to join a ship-wreck castdaway, John Cromwell, in the hunt for the stolen treasure that he knows about. One of the most thrilling incidents shows three men in diving helmets with ‘internal oxygen tanks, starting from the shore lin search of the sub- marine far out on the ocean floor. They walk straight out to sea; final- 1y their heads disappear and we see their progress along the bottom of the ocean to the submarine which they use as their (base of operations. “Wet Gold” is one of these pictures that you will talk about for a year. “Palg’’ a snappy two- part comedy, completes the program.
