CINEMA NOTES.
"COHENS AND KELLYS IN SCOTLAND."
If there in anything funnier than "Cohen and Kelly it is another "Cohen and Kelly", The famous Jewish coniedy team will troop inte the Queen's Theatro on Sunday on their fourth annual fun-making excur- [sion. This time they appear on "The Cohens and Kellys in Scotland”—and what they leave undone in the way of irth-provocation isn't worth' men-
tioning.

George Sidney, Chnrile Murray. Vera Gordon and Kate Price Arc together again in this latest of Uni- vernal'a uproarimis "Cohen and Kelly' serica. All are seasoned re- ters of stage and screen, singulariy gifted for comedy portrayals. They work together like clockwork.
As for the story, suffien to say that the Cohens and Kellyn, unknown to vach other, start out for Scotland with the idea of making a fortune olf the natives. They And that they were exceedingly over-optimistic in Bwir intentions. If so tough a spot do they find themselves that they sink their wehrt enmity to become partners again.
The picture is stuckled with hiļarinos bits of business which wound tame when related but the treatment of which makes for unforgetable comedy. For instance, the ineffectual attempts of Cohen and Kelly to play golf, their anties when they bet on the horse rares, and Cohen trying to talk Scotch, quil are extremely comical.
It is no exaggeration to say there In mot a dull moment in the entire picture. The laughs blend into one anther so quickly that the mirth may fairly be sald to be continuous. Given a funny plot and the finest enmedians on stage and screen, the result was the proverbial foregone cunclusion.
Much of the credit for the literally bowling auccess of the picture must be given to William James Craft fur his splendid direction. Known as ge of the foremast_enmedy, directorm in films, he had already show his mettle In the "Cobras and Kellys" series by his direction of the "The Cohen and Kellya in Atlantic City". In their Scottish adventure he has surpassed himself.
Prominent in the cast are E. J. Ratelife, Wilham Colvin and Lloyd Whitlock. All turn in flawless per formanses. John McDermott wrote the story of "The Cubens and Kellys in Scotland", nad Alert De Mond sup. plient the dialogue,
Reginald Denny in "Madam Satga“
"You know the most terrific blow to one's vanity is to be a public character, as it were for years, and' then find out that despite advertis- lag and the glare of the spotlight, people in general really had rentem- hered very few things about you". It was Reginald Denny commenting. The good-looking star settled himself caster in a lg chair and progreded.
"I have been a star in silent plz- tures for nearly ten years”, he said, "all the facts of my life have been printed many times, but when it was announced that was to sing in Cecil B. De Milg's "Madam Satan', nobody ever seems to have read that I come front the oldest singing family of the English stage; that 1 made my dat in The Widlaw and sang in light opera for yours!"
