EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.

"COHENS AND KELLYS IN. SCOTLAND." Donning kilts and tam-o'rshanters this* time, .George Sidney and Charlie Muriay set out for Scotland: in an attempt to take money , off that canny race in, .the excellent comedy "Cohens and Kellyg in Scotland," whioh will open return season in Ohristohurch at iLveryoody'a... Tfioatre to-day, . Appearing with the two famous comedians are Vera' Gordon and Kate Price in the parts ox the .harassed wives o£ the travellers. All are seasoned actors of stage and screen,, singularly gifted for comedy portrayals, and they work together, like clockwork. As for the story, suffice 1 to say . that the Cohens and Kellys, junknown to -each other, start out for Scotland with the idea ,of making a fortune off the natives. They find that they were exceedingly over-optlm-istic in their intentions.. In sotougha spot do they find-themselves that they sink their ancient enmity to become partners again. The picture is studded 'With funny incidents which sound tamfe whejv related, but the • treatment of which make* • for unforgettable comedy. For instance; the' ineffectual attempts of Cohen and Kelly to flay golf,' their antics when they bet on the horseraces, and Cohen trying to talk Scotch—all are extremely cp'mical. Prominent in the cast are E. ; J. Eatc'iffe, William Colvin, and Lloyd Whitlock. All turn in flawless performances.
