Sir Charles Chaplin biographer Jeffrey Vance writes of the legacy of Chaplin's The Kid: "The Kid remains an important contribution to the art of film, not only because of Chaplin's innovative use of dramatic sequences within a feature-length comedy but also because of the revelations The Kid provides about its creator. Undoubtedly, when Chaplin penned the preface to The Kid, "A picture with a smile - and perhaps, a tear," he had his own artistic credo - and life - in mind." Mary Pickford said of the film: "The Kid is one of the finest examples of the screen language, depending upon its actions rather than upon subtitles."
