AT THE OUFFN

There is practically nothing left
to say about Charlie Chaplin's pic
ture ''The Kid" which is OCCUPYING
the center Of attention at the Queen
Theatre this week. Everything in
the way OF commentator necessary
for and worthy Of the picture has
been said by the thousands who have
already found an hour or more
worthily spent in watching the antics
Of this comedian. the funniest OF all
screen laugh-makers.
The crowds are steadily on the in
crease. filling the theatre all through
the afternoon and early evening and
actually packing the house to the
doors in the evening.
The consensus OF opinion concern
ing '"rhe Kid" is that Il is the fun
niest thing that Charlie Chaplin has
ever made. The assertion is based on
actual fact. for The Kid" is by all
means one OF the most unusual OF the
comedians screen works.
Jack Coogan plays merrily the
role OF "The Kid" with Chaplin. He
is a manly little chap OF about four
or FIVE years and clever beyond his
age.
