A GREAT TEAM
IN “MERRILY WE LIVE.” Constance Bennett, the blonde charmer of “Topper,” ahd Brian Aherne, last seen on the screen as “The Great Garrick,” are co-starred for the first time in “Merrily We Live.” opening on Saturday at the Regent Theatre. Supporting them is Hollywood’s outstanding cast of the new season. Billie Burke, who scored so successfully as the Victorian wife in “Topper,” has the role of Mrs Kilbourne, a philanthropist. whose specialty is the reformation of hoboes who call at her door. Alan Mowbray, also of “Topper” fame, again is cast as a butler, but in the current production his role gives him more scope for comedy than the previous one, Patsy Kelly, one of the screen’s foremost comediennes, romps through the role of a cook in the Kilbourne establishment. In the role of a Senator’s daughter is Ann Dvorak. Bonita Granville plays the “kid sister’ in the Kilbourne family. Tom Brown is the “kid brother,” whose growing up passes unnoticed. Clarence Kolb, Mar- | jorie Rambeau and Phillip Reed are in the picture also.
