According to The Brooklyn Daily Eagle dated Sunday, March 20, 1921: The Brooklyn Mark Strand Theater presented JOHN BARRYMORE in "Jim the Penman" and CHARLIE CHAPLIN -{&}- JACKIE COOPER in "The Kid."
The Saturday, February 25, 1922 The Brooklyn Daily Eagle had a lengthy item by I. KAUFMAN titled Charlie Chaplin's Book: "... The first venture of Charlie Chaplin into literature shows distinct effects of the movies. It is written in the present tense, in short sentences like the captions in a motion picture, or the continuity of a scenario.... Those who admire Charlie Chaplin in the movies-and few are the intellectual snobs who refuse him homage-will find 'My Trip Abroad' of absorbing interest.... He proves himself a mixture of comedy, with tragedy around the corner...."

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle dated Saturday, April 11, 1936 included Brooklyn LOEW'S schedules repeating that CHARLIE CHAPLIN was starring in "Modern Times" plus CAROLE LOMBARD in "Love Before Breakfast."
The Watchman dated February 23, 1939: "... In vaudeville, Jackie's {Coogan's} parents were featured in Irish comedy skits. When the Coogans were appearing at the old Orpheum, in Los Angeles, Charlie Chaplin went back stage {stet} after a matinee performance and saw little Jackie Coogan for the first time. Chaplin seemed to take an interest in the sturdy little Irish lad of five and arrangements were made with 'The Two' Coogans for Jackie to appear in Chaplin's new picture, 'The Kid.'..."
The July 31, 1975 The Long Island Traveler Watchman: "... On Friday evening, August 1 at 8 p.m. in Custer Institute will be shown a movie program consisting of one of Charlie Chaplin's earliest and best, 'The Immigrant.' Charlie Chaplin directed and stars in this oldie.
This film is from his mutual period. The scene with Charlie and Edna Purviance is widely considered to be one of the funniest to ever appear on the silent screen...."
In The Long Island Traveler Mattituck Watchman dated July 09, 1942, the Greenport Theatre is spotlighted ~ “In ‘The Gold Rush’ which will be on view at the Greenport Theatre this Thurs., Fri. and Sat. July 9-10-11, Charlie Chaplin in the modern version of this old time favorite of the silent screen, with words and music is again the lovable little tramp whom he has endeared to millions, but this time the serio-comic figure wanders through the snow-capped peaks and mountains of the wilderness of the Klondike during the hectic gold rush days. We see him first as the lone prospector, buffeted by a cruel fate as well as by cruel toughs. Subsequently{,] romance enters his weary life in the shape of a dance hall queen… Charlie actually wins the girl and becomes a multimillionaire to boot… The co-feature is Shirley Temple in ‘Miss Annie Rooney.’…”
