"THE COHENS AND THE KELLYS."

GREAT COMEDY PROGRAMME. AT CRYSTAL PALACE. Charlie Murray and Kate Price teamed as the Kellys, and George Sidney and Vera Gordon teamed as the Cohens, the twain with sons and daughters who would be Abie's Irish Rose form, in the screen comedy, ' 'The Cohens and the Kellys," one of the few genuine comedy gems of the screen. The picture will be presented at Crystal Palace Theatre next week. Picture-goers will possibly remember "The Cohens and the Kellys in Paris," screened in this City a twelvemonth since. Funny as the P»«sian adventure was, the Cohens and the Kellys are a thousand times more droll in their own back yard in the New York Eastside, which is the locale for this picture. Charlie Murray, as Kelly plays a policeman, rather a crusty policeman; and George Sidney, fat and small and fussy, is the keeper of a clothing shop. Their spouses, Kate Price and Vera Gordon, are as affectionate and as wise and as quarrelsome as their lords. The picture is generously laden wfth rich jokes. Ailed with gay and hoydenish adventures on the Eastside. And when the Cohens receive a fortune and move to Park avenue, and know not the Kellys, and when it is discovered that the fortune really belongs to the Kelly's, then the fun really may be said to have started.
