Potash and Perlmutter

Potash and Perlmutter is a 1923 American silent comedy film directed by Clarence G. Badger.

The film is based on an ethnic Jewish comedy with characters created by Montague Glass and Charles Klein for a 1913 Broadway play of the same name which ran for 441 performances.

[2][3] Stage stars Alexander Carr and Barney Bernard reprise their famous roles from the play in this film.

The film's success would inspire two Goldwyn sequels, In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter (1924) and Partners Again (1926).

In 1927, the UK division of Phonofilm produced a short film with Augustus Yorke (1860-1939) and Nicholas Adams playing Potash and Perlmutter.
