CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN THE KID TO BE 1T
 THE STRAND TODAY

Just now, when every one who is a pil nervous, is watching the turn of every card, when business worries are A'ui.iple, when nerves are on edge, 1t soou to get away from cares for the moment and forget It is good to lose ones self in diversion that will efface tne troubles fancied or otherwise of the moment
 Al the Strand Sunday the manage ment presents Chaplin the greatest sioom chaser in all the world. The man who stands in a class by himself as maker of laughs, and yet this ChapHn you are going to see Sunday IS new Chaplin. He is still the king or comedians but Charlie with his comedy feet. and his makeup, has de- veloped. He has broadened since last you saw him in the little two-reel slap stick comedy he made before he started on the filming of ''The Kid"
 He dreamed for several years of the chance to make picture along lines that would revolutionize comedy pro- auction. He knew that he could make one that would startie the picture world So he waited until he had money enough to carry out his own ends and then he engaged his cast and worked for twelve months.
 The Kid" is the result of this twelve months labor of love on the part of Chaplin and how this master picture has repaid his efforts, how it is the most talked of creation of years will be shown when it starts at the Strand
 The Kid" is the most human, the finest and most remarkably done pie ture ever to play this city. It is not the work of press agent. It is the recognized hit of years. In every city in the land it is playing an ex- tended engagement. It is packing the theaters where other pictures have barely been given notice. It is doing all of this because it is filled with all the things that make life worth living.
 Chaplin is seen Is a foster mother to a baby he finds in an ash can From the time he picks this tot out of the can, until the butt-in welfare society" takes his life pal away from him, Chaplin plays the most wonderful part the screen has known in the past ten. years.
 While it Is a story so human. and so deep. in its appeal, that it will reach all Chaplin his seen to it that the comedy is not lacking, but it is a diff ferent kind of comedy. bigger better and more refined brand o1 humor but just as hilarious as the ole style slap stick which brought Chap lin to fame. '.The Kid' is little short of a wonder picture and the maDage- ment of the Strand has announced that . it is to be shown at an earlier houl than usual at the Washington street house. They will open the doors promptly at Il o'clock today to ac. commodate the crowds sure to be at tracted by this master work. Thi. makes two extra shows Sunday ant they should take care of the crowds expected.

with some of the housework, yea,

father keep the place looking neat

can put ten pounds of camp grub on
his back and hike five miles for the
fun OF it; wonder how many can
hike half the distance with ten pounds
of tin cans for the city dump. Re
pairing panel of the home fence
can afford as many opportunities for
the exercise Of natural ingenuity as
can the building of a shack or lean

mus musculus" TO its lair and de-
stroying 1t can be as exciting and
interesting as tracking any other kind
o, animal, and the good turn per-
formed in its destruction is Of inesti-
mable value. Only too often this crea-
ture slips with stealthy tread into
the dwelling place of man, sometimes
in broad daylight, but more often dur
ing the still small hours Of night; its
ability to gain entrance is uncanny-
walls and floors seem to bar 1t not
and it leaves destruction. even death,
in its wake. Any scout who Is trying
to be real scout can perform good
turn of great merit by studying the
habits Of this creature Of omnivorous
proclivities, preparing to meet it on
its own ground and protect mis- home
and loved ones against its onslaughts.
