| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) | comment |
Abie's Irish Rose is a 1922 play by Anne Nichols.Newlyweds Abie and Rosemary Levy (nee Murphy) are happily in love — with one problem. His staunch Orthodox Jewish family wants him to marry a nice Jewish girl; her Irish-Catholic family was also expecting a similar spouse for her — and neither of the in-laws know about the marriage. Hoping to secure his father Solomon's favor, Abie convinces Rosemary to pretend to be a Jewish girl named "Rosie Murpheski". Mr. Levy likes her enough to demand a Jewish marriage...which is promptly derailed when Mr. Patrick Murphy shows up with a priest in tow. Shenanigans ensue before the feuding families can accept the interfaith marriage.The play was twice adapted to film. The 1928 version was directed by Victor Fleming and starred Charles 'Buddy' Rogers and Nancy Carroll.The 1946 version was directed by A. Edward Sutherland and starred Richard Norris and Joanne Dru. It was also adapted into a radio serial in 1945. | |

Troubled Sympathetic Bigot | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_1c090ec2 | comment |
Troubled Sympathetic Bigot: Abie and Rosemary know that Abie's father, Solomon Levy, wouldn't stand for his son marrying anyone but a Jewish girl, and that Rosemary's Irish-Catholic father, Patrick Murphy, feels similarly about her marriage prospects. The ruse by which they get parental consent from both of their families is acrimoniously exposed once Solomon and Patrick meet, but eventually the fathers reconcile with each other and accept their children's marriage thanks to a third-act Contrived Coincidence. | |

I Want Grandkids | |

I Want Grandkids: In the very first scene, Solomon Levy explains why he's anxious to have his son Abie get married: "I want grandchildren — dozens of them." | |

Unto Us a Son and Daughter Are Born | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_27a047a6 | comment |
Unto Us a Son and Daughter Are Born: Rosemary conveniently gives birth to male-female twins, which appeases her feuding father (who wanted a granddaughter) and father-in-law (who wanted a grandson). | |

My Own Private "I Do" | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_377effa6 | comment |
My Own Private "I Do": Abie and Rosemary ultimately have three weddings: a Methodist elopement before their feuding parents get involved, a Jewish wedding to please Abie's father, and a Catholic wedding to please Rosemary's father. | |

"Not Really Married" Plot | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_47c1c09c | comment |
"Not Really Married" Plot: The parents try to nullify the leads' marriage when they find out that Abie and Rose married each other under assumed identities. This fails because of their prior elopement in Jersey City, which happens to be totally legitimate. | |

Glamorous Wartime Singer | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_489f14dd | comment |
Glamorous Wartime Singer: Abie met Rosemary near the end of World War I in France, where she used to sing for the troops. Her looks are pretty enough for Solomon to mistake her for an actress, a profession he distrusts. | |

Sue Donym: When Abie's father asks about Rosemary's family name, she blurts out "Murphy", but Abie quickly interrupts and changes it to the slightly more Jewish-sounding "Murpheski". | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: Patrick Murphy obverses all the oranges festooning the place of his daughter's wedding, and leaps to the horrifying conclusion: his Rosemary is marrying a Protestant! When Patrick encounters Solomon Levy, the proud and obviously non-Protestant father of a Nice Jewish Boy who by implausible coincidence is getting married to a certain "Rosie Murpheski" at the same time, he grills him about "all the A.P.A. decorations": | |

Surprise Multiple Birth | |
| Abie's Irish Rose (Theatre) / int_cfbdf361 | comment |
Surprise Multiple Birth: Solomon and Patrick, though still angry at each other, are eager to see Abie and Rosemary's new baby. Solomon wants it to be a boy like his son Abie, and Patrick is eager for it to be a girl like his daughter Rosemary. It conveniently turns out to be both, so the feud can easily be settled. | |

Shiksa Goddess: Abie's father wouldn't stand for any Nice Jewish Boy marrying a non-Jewish girl, so Abie has to trick his father into believing that Rosemary Murphy is actually Rosie Murpheski. The father doesn't find out the ruse until the Jewish wedding ceremony is well underway. | |
