In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmutter is a 1924 American silent comedy film, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, released through First National Pictures, and directed by Alfred E. Green.
A sequel of sorts, the Jewish ethnic comedy characters of Potash and Perlmutter return from their 1923 debut film, also produced by Goldwyn, although with a different actor for Potash.
They would return again in 1926 in Partners Again (1926). Goldwyn had evidently been familiar with this series of Jewish-themed stories, written by Montague Glass and mounted as a Broadway play in 1913, back when he was a glove salesman, and produced these film versions over the objections of the other Jewish moguls of Hollywood.[1]
