Produced by Flrtit National. Presented at Carnegie Hall toiilgUt.

THE CAST. Himseir Charles Chaplin The 5trl. Edna Purvlance Tho Kid Jackie Cuosan By McELLIOTT. A Chaplin release somehow is always the signal for vast excite ment. If you want to be heard i above the din at the dinner table or in the subway just let it be known that you've seen it.

The hush that by staccato cries of "Is it will warm your heart. I Well, "The Kid" is the latest of these and tonight, for the first: time, it's to be given to the outer circle at Carneeie Hall. The in- I ner circle, members of which guffawed or giggled (according to their sex) in the projecting room J'esterday afternoon, tolerantly al-owed it was "good." Which means it was better than that. You will wonder, as I did, where on earth "they" got the infant child who scrambles through the long story as Charlie's adopted son. His name on the program is Jackie he's a braw boy, besides being a tricky, appealing and ingratiating one.

When he, with all the poise of a Babe Kuth, hurls a stone into some good wife's window pane and Charles, funny feet forward, shambles up to accept the role of glazier, you are struck with the inordinate comedy of the pair. I am not at all sure, though, that Jackie is not a formidable rival to the Jack Barrymore of film comedy. Jackie, legging it madly 'cross corners, is almost as good for box office purposes as our own Charles, playing the Atlul Dodger to Bowery bum. Oh, yes.it"s a trcs comic film frfmt tiirton ht-rf and ther with the uncouth pleasantries, most of Charlie Chaplin and Chum a Pathetic Pair THEY'RE RATHER a pathetic pair, C. Chaplin and young Jackie Coogan, who walks off lightly with title honrs in "The Kid," Chas's latest picture.

It's to be shown for the first time in New York this evening at Carnegie a benefit given for the children's department of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. IcUTEACKSANPaOSEUPSl We hesitate to tell you to go to "The Devil," but, seriously it's to le at the Brooklyn Strand next week, in case you've tendencies in that direction. Mr. George Arliss is still being frightfully wicked in it, we hear. Famous Players-Lasky promises great things in the way of pictur- ized plays and novels in the year to come.

Some of the most important are "Peter Ibbetson," the DuMaurier story made famous by John Barrymore; "ihe Shulamite, by Edward Knoblock; "The Conquest of Canaan," By Booth Tar-kvngton; "Cappy Ricks." "Uneasy ireue ana "uasiine ous." Eve Balfour, the English stage star who is making her first American appearance in "Fantomas," a Fox serial, is writing a diarv to keen her friends at knnw infarmoJ of her adventures. Another beaut has her chance in the films I She's Jacqueline Logan, and she's to play opposite Thomas Mcighan, the more or less adored, in "White and Unmarried."

For those who cannot go to Florida this winter there is "Dear Me," with Grace La Rue, at the Republic Theatre. It is full of sunshine and song. Of the song, as sung by Miss La Rue, we cannot have too much.

But of the sunshine there is too much enough to sunstrike all but the strongest heads. "Dear Me" dramatizes the dear old chromos of our childhood. "God bless our happy home," "Be good and you will be happy," "The smile wins." Those are the plot. It is a hardy un regenerate who dares smoke a cigarette between acts. For material for their sweet playdoodle Messrs.

Luther Reed and Hale Hamilton have chosen the odd premise that there exists somewhere a home for failures.

Edna Purviance, clinging with curious obstinacy to the long skirts of 1914 or thereabout, plays the small boy's moiher. Poor Edna has a drefful time of it.

Her job consists mainly in biting her nails, and, at opportune moments, swooning clear away.
