GRIFFITH MYSTERY PICTURE BIG TREAT Something new—ever the cry in motion piteures—has come with D.W. Griffith's latest film, "One Exciting Night", a United Artists release, which began a 3 day showing at the United Theater yesterday. Here is a treat. In past years, many an innovation has come to the screen, but this latest handiwork of Griffith is different; it is new; and it is refreshing. Griffith alone seems to have the power of bringing new things; but the public will wonder why this amazing man has neglected mystery so long. Romance—It trembles with it. And it shakes with laughter.

Because the story has a strong vein of pathos throughout, the unusual comedy talent which has made Chaplin the most famous funny man in the world stands out stronger and more joyous than in any previous production in which he has appeared. "The Kid" is a realization of an ambition which the comedian has held for years. He conceived the story when he was first starting on his screen career, but could think of it only as something he would like. Then he made his contract with Associated First National Pictures, Inc., under the policy of that distributing organization of permitting uncontrolled production on the part of stars and producers. Chaplin whipped his idyl into shape and started work upon the production of the story. It took him a year to complete. There are but five characters of importance in it and are characterized as The Man, The Woman, The Kid, The Tramp and the Policeman. The comedian himself plays the part of the Tramp, while a real find as a juvenile actor. Jackie Coogan, has the title role; and Edna Purviance plays the part of The Woman.
