The long arm of coin cidence, however, outdid itself two weeks ago when the reel-life romance of Olive Ovl and Popeyc was overshadowed with the real-life romance of their screen, "voices ' for it wa s during the completion of ''Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp" that Margie Hines, the ''voice' 7 of Olive Oyl, and Jack Mercer, the "vo'ce" of Popeyc again overshadowed their screen counterparts by eloping a couple of weeks ago to Fort Lauderdale and becoming Mr and Mrs Jack Mercer.
