FRIENDLY ENEMIES.

MERRY ANTAGONISTS IN PICTURES INSEPARABLE PALS IN REAL LIFE.

In “The Cohens and Kellys in Trouble,” the Universal laugh riot which is coming to the Regent Theatre, George Sidney is Nathan Cohen to Charlie Murray, who is co-starred with him. But, in real life, Sidney may be anything at all to Murray, who addresses him with any name which comes to his mind. While, work ,is under way —in fact while work has been under way in all seven of the Cohens and Kellis series—Sidney has found himself addressed as ‘“Moses,” “Ginsberg,” “Abie,” “Izzy” and a dozen other names. However, Sidney doesn’t mind because he hears in Charlie’s voice an indescribable tone which means Murray thinks he’s the finest fellow on earth, no matter what the name may be. He and Murray are friends, and that means to him that Murray can call him anything and get away with it. Mornings they drive to the sets at Universal City together and at night they leave their dressing rooms arm-in-arm to have some of Mrs Murray’s special Irish stew. And, insists Sidney, there is nobody in the world who can make stew like Mrs Murray can. When work in pictures is completed for a while, Murray, bis wife and Sidney take trips together. Charlie helps George with his lines, and George helps Charlie with his lines. That, it is said, is what makes their pictures so human. And both Charlie and George help other members of the cast. In the cast of the sea-going comedy this time, incidentally, ■ are Jobyna Howlatnd, Maureen O’Sullivan, Andy Levine, Maude Fulton, Henry Armetta, Frank Albertson and Maurine Black.
