AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS* PICTURES. “COHENS & KELLYS IN AFRICA.” GEORGE SIDNEY AND CHARLIE MURRAY. Easily the outstanding screen achievement of those celebrated funsters, Charlie Murray and George Sidney, “The. Cohens and Kellys in Africa,' opens- at the. Princess Theatre on Saturday. night.; .The comedy introduces Cohen and Kelly as piano manufacturers whose business is at the point ol ruin: because of a shortage -of real ivory for their keys. Meeting a pseudoe>plorer who paints a glowing picture of veritable' 1 mountains of : ivory inAfrica, Cohen and Kelly decide to finance an exhlliition to the ‘ ‘Dirt’ll Continent” with! the explorer as leader. The comedians become involved in almost every conceivable tangle on their expedition, and the screen play follows their escapades from the time they leave the boat at Mombasa, over the veldt and through jungles until their departure from a sheik’s harem for the United States. The jungle atmosphere and harem scenes have been reproduced with .surprising fidelity. Murray and Sidney are seen at ther best. Having worked together in motion pictures for several years, thev form; a perfect comedy duo, natural in every movement, ami their antics never fail to produce a maximum number of laughs.
