I found Harry Clay Blaney in an

fitted to speak authoritatively of mel

akin to that occupied by George NJ.
Cohan in musical comedy. He writes
most of the material he uses and
good deal that other people use.
Also he believes firmly in crowding
plenty of snap and action into his

Another thing that is true of our
