### **ABOUT THE FILM:** Broadway sensation Eddie Cantor in his screen debut plus the spirited and daring Clara Bow! KID BOOTS (1926) translates the Ziegfeld Follies star’s boundless energy and wide-eyed charm into a brisk, laugh-filled silent comedy. Reprising his stage hit, Cantor plays a hapless tailor’s assistant whose quick thinking—and quicker feet—propel him through a whirlwind of misunderstandings, sight gags, and physical feats, including a show-stopping cliffhanger finale. Along the way, he meets his match in a young Clara Bow, radiating the irrepressible sparkle that would soon make her Hollywood’s “It” Girl. Their “meet cute,” involving an accidental stitching mishap and an impromptu chase, sets the tone for a film brimming with playful chemistry and comic invention. Packed with slapstick, stage-honed timing, and a dash of romantic charm, KID BOOTS captures Cantor at his freshest and offers a rare glimpse of two icons—one at the height of his fame, the other on the cusp of hers—lighting up the silent screen together.
