6Fe[ heater 'CHARL|E" SCORES
 BIG HIT AT STRAND

As predicted, Chaplin broke all rec ords at the Strand yesterday at the local premier of his million dollar pie ture, "The Kid" Despite the fact that the doors of the theater were opened two hours earlier than on the regular schedule, the crowds were there early to see the breat combined comedy and drama.
 Much has been written of Chaplin s million dollar picture. but few have any idea of the charm and the attract iveness of the offering. It is a combi- nation of comedy of the type that Chaplin alone knows how to make, and pathos so rare that it is a novelty in a picture. The sight of the inimitable Charlie mothering a baby nursing the infant he had found in an ash can, was too much for those who have always associated the comedian with custard pies and big feet.
 That Chaplin is an artist of the first rank was also disclosed yesterday in his splendid picture. It is ont of the greatest programs the Strand has of fered and remains for tomorrow. It probably will hang up a new attend ance record for Phoenix when it has finished its engagement.

 For this Universal Jewel feature,
 Tod Browning, author and producer,

 'hree leaders of the underworld into he light of right living and then for gets his own teachings for moment 10 inflict terrible punishment upon chronic traitor and gangster is un- | oided in manner that holds an au- d1ence in suspense for a delightful hour and one-half
 Lon Chaney in the role of Black Mike avails himself of opportunities | for acting greater than were offered him in either The Miracle Man or l The Penalty Priscilla Dean never
 appeared to better advantage in any picture The scene with the little boy
 where fear gives way to maternal in stinct is especially effective E. A. part of Chang Low and dominated
 many of the scenes in which he ap- peared. The supporting company seemed to have caught the spirit of the stars. Each member worked to the ad- vantage of the finished production In

 The name of, the musical offering is the "Matrio- Maniac" and it serves to give Jack Miller a chance to do some of the funniest work of his career. He is seen in the part of the marriage fool. He craves marriage until he falls into all Kinds of trouble; then he has the time of his young life getting out o. his difficulties
 Tom Mix in Desert Love" completes the bill. and there never was a better picture than this western classic in the hands of the greatest outdoor actor.

The Hip.

Shirley Mason in "The Flame of, Youth finishes two-day enga cement at the Hip today. The picture is very much out of the ordinary in that it is laid in the dyke country of Belgium and has to do with a pretty little Bel gium miss and an artist from the Lat n quarter of Paris. Of course it is
 ove story. but it is more than just a tale of man and maid, for it has many twists. and angles that help to lift it to a spot all its own. Miss Mason is seen as the sweetheart of the artist and her work in the part is perhaps the best that she has done since she went to the Fox program Tomorrow comes Douglas Fairbanks in "He Comes Up Smiling It remains for three days.
