THE KID,' BIG STORY, CHAPLIN AS THE STAR
Critics Declare "The Kid'' ChapIin's Greatest-Jackie
 Coogan Co-Star

Star vs- story has been real live issue for many years in the motion picture industry. many producers hold ing to the theory that the public will pay to see actors or actresses rather than go to see q production of real interest played by an unknown cast It has been a drawn question between the two factions for some time, be- cause each has perfectly good grounds to offer as to why one or the other policy is the best
 The whole question, however, was raised anew with the release of AThe Kid" the six-reel Charlie Chaplin pro- duction for Associated First National Pictures, incorporated. Charlie Chap lin had always been the shining ex- ample of those who supported the star system. They pointed out, and rightly that he had attained a popularity un- equaled by any other screen star through the medium of productions which lacked stories entirely; or if one was present it was the flimsiest sort os a framework, merely to support the comedian in new comic stunts
 With the release of The Kid" which will be the attraction at the Trianon theatre, beginning Monday, the sup Qorters of the theory that stories are the main perquisite of successful pie ture es receive entirely unlocked For aid, k~cawAs The Kid" is as dramatic a Asory ar has ever beda produced in a motion picture
 Chaplin is there with the same makeup and the same characteristics that have made him the most famous comedian in the world. But the film does not revolve around Chaplin; it concerns a founding baby. it's growth to boyhood, and his final coming into his hfrthright. Charities part is that of foster father to the boy, and in the role he commits the most delight full humor and ludicrous comedy that he has ever given the screen Bus there are no shifts away from the plot to give. him chance merely to dc some new trick. Every laugh--and the story teems with them-is caused by step onward in the career of the kid.
 While supporters of the story hai The Kid" as sign of the conver. sion of the comedian to their theory friends of MT. Chaplin know that fo,

SIN MOTHERHOOD


 present in the main theme of the story
 SIN BROTHERHOOD
 The story opens with the woman, whose sin was motherhood" leaving the maternity hospital with her infant child. Wandering about aimlessly the poor mother espies handsome limou sine and scribbling hasty note to "love and care for this orphan child" she places both within the tonneau and hastens off. But mother-love is re- kindled in her breast and she hurries back to get her abandoned offspring When she returns. however the auto mobile has been stolen.
 When the thieves, driving the ma chine through a slum district, hear the wall of the infant they carry it out and leave 1t beside a garbage can in a sordid alleyway. Charlie debon- nair in his shabby gentility, comes forth for his morning promenade, hears the baby's cries, takes up the precious bundle and seeks its mother. In this he Is successful, and after trying in vain to unload his burden is finally compelled to, take the in- fant to his garret room. Here we see him struggling through all the trials of motherhood, for he had to act the part of mother as well as father.
 Five years pass by. The child has grown to sturdy boyhood and great bond has grown up between him and his foster father, In fact they have become inseparable partners in the af- fairs of life, Jackie going forth sgaily to break the neighboring windows while Charlie follows about, as an

Rumors which have been current in the motion picture industry that Cnar- lie Chaplin longed to forsake the rieiu of buffoonery and appear in ara matic role on the screen have been verified as having a substantial oasis' for the picture has been completed. The idea. however, that he would adopt the matinee idol makeup and attempt to make the public forget the character which is identified by his name all over the world is merely mistaken idea engen6ered from tho reDort that he was working in dra- matic picture.
 SYMPATHY AND LAUGHS
 The comedian has accomplished the impossible in his latest picture. The Kid.p First Nationals s six reels of Joy. Directors, previous employees and oth- CTS associated with him in his screen career had pronounced 1t impossible that he appear in his screen character in a semi dramatic story and succeed in gaining sympathy as well as laughs from his audiences in the plight which the plot developed.
 In The Kid" however, according to critics and others who have seen 1t, he accomplishes 1t. Charlie is there in the same character which has gained him the place as the worlds most popular comedian. but in situa- tions which combine an occasional sob with shrieks of laughter. Charlie be- 1 comes the guardian of a two weeks old baby, and expends upon him all the love and devotion that any father could His character. however. makes his every attempt humorous circum

many years he bewailed the fact that
 the public would not lot him play
 dramatic stories. To produce The
 Kid" he voluntarily reiinquished work
 on contract paying him $1,000.00o
 year in order to devote his time to the production. the story which he wrote
 himself. The fact that 1t took him
 nearly a year to make it runs the
 morey cost up, in figuring what he might have earned, to frightful ex- tent, but to the comedian 1t is a justi- fication of the idea that given the role. even clown can be human in a logical way

by shortly after the accident. Thus they do thriving business. in spite o. the suspicious police.
 CHILDREN OF SUMS
 But time has wrought other changes. The mother has risen to great heights as an opera singer. In spite of her material success, however the mother hunger burns ,so strongly that she seeks soul easement in visiting the children of the slums.
 On one occasion when she Is playing with little child by the curbstone, Jackie opens the door and walks out She smiles at him and gives him toy--never knowing the little fellow is her own son. Often thereafter she meets him, quite unconscious of the mystic bond and once, after a fight with a neighboring boy, she actually carries him in her arms to his father" telling Charlie that he must send for a doctor.
 The doctor duly arrives and when he finds the boy is not Charlie's own, he departs saying the child must have the proper care and attention. He re- tains the slip of paper found on the baby which Charlie has handed to him. The officials of the county hospital | arrive, but Charlie furiously resists | their attempts to remove Jackie, who is now convalescing. After hard struggle the boy is taken away in an automobile, but Charlie by taking a short cut over the roofs, rescues the l boy from their clutches.
 BOY STOLEN
 But this time the doctor has shown the mother the piece of paper and she realizes the Kid is her own long lost boy takes up the search. The boy Is stolen from Charlies side during the l night and restored to his mother. Charlie wakes to find him gone. He is frantic and walks the street the re- mainder of the night until he falls exhausted on his own doorstep. He | dreams, and in the middle of 1t awak- ems to find himself being shaken by the big policeman whom he had eluded l over the housetops
 The policeman takes him by the col lar and bundles him unceremoniously around the corner. To his astonish- ment, he is hustled into waiting au- tomobile. He rubs his eyes and won ders if he is still dreaming. No, the car drives to a fashionable neighbor- hood and draws up at large mansion His escort alights. grips him by the arm, leads him to the door and rings the bell. The door opens and--ano Jackie and his newly found mother drag Charlie in to stay with them for all time.
