“MERRILY WE LIVE”
AN HILARIOUS PICTURE. Reuniting four who contributed so largely to the success of “Topper" a few months ago, “Merrily We Live,” which comes'to the Regent Theatre on Saturday week, has Constance Bennett as one of its stars and Billie Burke and Alan Mowbray heading the supporting cast. Sharing stellar honours with Miss Bennett ’ is - Brian Aherne, equally at home in romantic, or comedy roles,. In this production he has opportunity for both. In the guise of a tramp who is in reality a novelist, he is admitted to the Kilbourne mansion and given the post of chauffeur. He stays on to gain material for a novel and because he has fallen in love with the debutante daughter, Jerry, played by Miss Bennett. Miss Bennett plays the part with zest. Jerry Kilbourne is a spoiled and spirited product of the modern age. Patsy Kelly, Ann Dvorak, Tom Brown, Bonita Granville, Marjorie Rambeau, Clarence Kolb and Phillip Reed are others who add to “Merrily We Live,” one of the most hilarious pictures of the current sea son.
