Perlmutter comedies that Abe Pot
ash and "Mawruss'' Perlmutter are
presented at their funniest and most
whimsical. The strange and un-
familiar background OF the movie

in it bring out more emphaticaily than
the other two plays those quaint ana
delightful peculiarities of speech and
conduct that have made them the two
most lovable and popular creations In
the American theatre. Their vitality
and hold on popular affection is dem
onstrated BY the fact that Business
Before Pleasure" proved even more
popular and amusing than either OF
its two predecessors-"Po Potash and
Perlmutter" and Potash and PERI
mutter in Society," The notable COM
pany includes Ben Schaffer. sam Cold
