Yet for eight years Charlie Chaplin has been envious and the situation has been caused by the length of the productions in which he has been starred. His productions have been on the average two reels in length; and as he puts it himself: "I am like the fellow that would drive a Tin Lizzie in an endurance race. It is more than probable that the Tin Lizzie would come in ahead yet all the admiration would go to the heavier and more impressive cars." Almost since the beginning of his screen career the comedian has had a plot in mind which carried a role he wanted to play. Despite the strong comedy element in it, none of the producers for whom he was working would listen for a moment when he talked of a film six reels in length. Chaplin erected his own studio, hired his own staff of actors and studio help and began work as a producer. He made enough short subjects to convince First National of his good faith and then dropped everything to begin work on the six-reel production the completion of which was the ambition of his life. The finished work has been hailed not only as the comedy triumph of the decade, but has acquired a high rank as a dramatic picture of sterling worth. For his ideal was "The Kid," First National's six reels of joy, which is to be the attraction at the California Theatre, beginning tomorrow.

FINISHED work has been hailed not only as the comedy triumph of the decade, but has acquired a high rank as a dramatic picture of sterling worth. For his ideal was "The Kid," First National's six reels of joy, which is to be the attraction at the California Theatre, beginning tomorrow. PREMIER SHOWING OF GREAT FILM It is not often that Anaheim is honored with a premier showing of a great motion picture. Since the beautiful new California theater opened its palatial doors, two premiers, both starring Jackie Coogan have been shown in this city. When it was announced that a premier showing of the great Tom Mix's latest thriller "Catch My Smoke" was scheduled for some coast city, the West Coast Theaters, Inc., secured the masterpiece for the Fairyland theater. This picture of daring and adventure, starring the world's greatest horseman and one of its most popular stars, has not as yet been shown in Los Angeles or anywhere else. And judging by the advance reports from the studio, it is unquestionably Mix's most noteworthy drama. Supported by a very clever cast, Mix flashes in and out of the picture in his usual daring manner, much to the edification of everyone in the audience. A tremendous turnout is anticipated for this splendid play, and every precaution is being taken by the theater management to assure the patrons a real show. The regular prices will prevail, and there will be two performances each night with a matinee on Saturday. 5 MYSTERY PLOTS IN GRIFFITH FILM There are six roads, it is said, to the Lidingen of effective mystery and "One Exciting Night." D. W. Griffith's great mystery photoplay, starting tonight at the United Theater. Griffith gives secreted treasure, personal disappearance, puzzling homicides, hidden identity, and even symbolizes the return of the avenging spirit. The only motif he does not handle is that of mystery murder through jealousy. The progress of the art of thrills has led to skillful and ever more skillful combinations of the prime elements. The modern comedy mystery thriller is a recent development. Its salient characteristic, as in "One Exciting Night," is to tie together several distinct mystery motives, combing them on the one hand with a strong love story and on the other with the homicides, hidden identity, and even symbolizes the return of the avenging spirit. The only motif he does not handle is that of mystery murder through jealousy. The progress of the art of thrills has led to skillful and ever more skillful combinations of the prime elements. The modern comedy mystery thriller is a recent development. Its salient characteristic, as in "One Exciting Night," is to tie together several distinct mystery motives, combing them on the one hand with a strong love story and on the other with the comic treatment of the fear displayed by the minor characters. After-war psychology demanded thrills, romance and laughs, all in one, and that is what the playwrights evolved. Griffith's art consists in doing this for the screen, without the enormous aid that the voice gives to "creep" plays. There were other almost superable difficulties, too, but he mastered them all.
