The Highest Priced Picture Ever Shown in Corpus Christi! -- February 17, 2012

This week at the AMUSU (think about it) Theater in Corpus Christi, TX, Charlie Chaplin in The Kid, supported by Jack Coogan, also a Snub Pollard comedy and Literary Digest Topics of the Day.  Wow, what a show.  Chaplin's young costar was usually called Jackie Coogan; his dad was billed as Jack Coogan.   I wonder if The Kid was really "The Highest Priced Picture Ever Shown in Corpus Christi!"
