& Boy Lost? It‘s Likely You‘ll Find Him Here

      The film capital is becoming known as a port of missing

kids since Sid Grauman opened his outdoor menagerie

and side show in connection with the run of Charlie Chaplin‘s

„The Circus,“ in Grauman‘s Chinese Theater.

      Whenever Capt. E. M. Slaughter, chief of detectives

of the Hollywood police division, receives a call from

frantic parents to locate missing youngsters, he first dispatches

an officer to the forecourt of the Chinese to look over

the throng attracted from far and wide by the free outdoor show.
