CoIlens and KelIys
Now In That
Dear Paris

Universa1's publicity people have
recently been engaged in diff
cult task. 1t involves the appli.
cation OF exact percentages to
artistic temperament and the
correlation of these percentages
with the drawing power Of said
artistic temperaments at the box
office.
The difficulties presented arose
through the credits demanded by
the various players in the cast of
aThe Cohens and Kellys in Paris,
which is the current picture at
the RiaIto.
In order to preserve and ad-
vance the position they have at.
tanned in the cinema world, al
moving picture players who rate
screen advertising put the full
amount OF credit which they feel
they can secure, into the con-
tracts for their services which
they sign with various companies
upon their engagement for
role. when the players were
signed for "The Cohens and
KeIlys in Paris" there was more
than the ordinary incentive for
the players to demand all the
credit that the traffic; would bear.
.sThe Cohens and Kellys' had
been a whiritng success a year
or two ago. Every player in the
cast had been advantaged splen-
dfdly by its success. Consequently,
when Universal planned The
Cohens and Kellys in Paris and
to do 1t in a much more ample and
generous manner, each player stIg-
gested knew that here was great
opportunity.
Universal made a conscientious
effort to secure players Of the
original cast so far as existing
contracts permitted. OF those
who played in The cohens and
