CAPITOL
“THE KID BROTHER” Lovers of the great outdoors have a treat in store for them at the Capitol where Harold Lloyd’s gloomchaser, “The Kid Brother”
is being shown, because the greater portion of tne picture was made in the open spaces ol California. The Lasky Ranch, in Dark Canyon, just outside Hollywrood provided a large measure of the locale in “The Kid Brother,” while the beautiful -waters of Avalon Bay also
provided their quota of “shots.” The story of “The Kid Brother” is set in a tiny town nestling in the mountain foothills. Lloyd gets away from the stereotyped feud yarn, which has been don© to death in. motion pictures, and throughout the entire picture not a gun is fired. It’s just a human interest comedy ripe with carefully correlated romance, drama and thrills, the type of plot in which the bespectacled comedian revels. Harold is back in the sympathetic type of characterisation which was so popular in “College Days,” “Girl Shy,” “Grandma’s Boy,” and others of his most successful pictures. That “The Kid Brother” will be another great success is beyond question, for those who have seen Paramount’s current release acclaim it as being in a class with Harold’s best. The second feature on the programme at the Capitol is “New York.”
