‘THE COHENS AND THE KELLYS’COME TO COLONIAL

New Tom Meighan Film Will Be on View at the Ohio. “The Cohens and the Kellys,” a screen version of Aaron Hoffman’s Broadway success, “Two .Blocks Away,” in which k’harles Murray, George Sidney, wera Gordon and Kate Price are the featured players, will >8 the Colonial’s attraction all next week. It comes opportunely with St. Patrick’s day, occuring in midweek of the engagement. The assisting- players give to the cast an all star atmosphere including such names as Jason Robards, ■ Olive Hasbrouck, Nat Carr, Bobby Gordon and Mickey Bennett, the two latter being the most prominent juvenile performers on the screen. The story is a comedy drama of quick richness and the relation between a Jewish and an Irish family with flats on New Tork’s East Side. All of the side splitting laughter and humor of a hundred thousand Cohens and several thousand Kelly's has been captured in this perfect characterization of these two families. The Jewish family inherits a million dollars after having lived from the meagre profits of a clothing store. The Kellys remain on the East Side. Unknown to the head of the Jewish family and'-also to the Irishman, the son of the Irishman and the daughter of the Jew are married and this brings further tribulations and causevs for further fights along with hundreds of humorous incidents. The supplemental features include a Charles Puffy International News. Floyd Thompson’s American Harmonists have arranged another novelty program of symphonic numbers and old-time melodies. Bob Jones, Nick Teramo and Virgil Mopks are the soloists. Julia Niebergall will be heard in pianologues. On Friday night there will be a Charleston contest for adults and.
