"Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway

Not to permit the interest of your
auditors to flag even for moment is
the creed of George NJ Cohan, whose
greatest and most successful piece,
Forty Five Minutes From Broad
way" under the direction of Messrs-
Conan and Harris, is to be presented
at the KeYlor Grand next month. In
following out this idea the remark
ably successful young actor-author-
composer has made it point to evolve
a plot which shall maintain the thea
ter-goer's interest in the unfolding oil
the story, and in the interim, when
the interpolated songs like Mary Is
Grand Old Name" and $50 Long,
Mary" interrupt the action of the
piece to have the principals and
chorus who are assisting in the rendi-
ton of the song, always in motion. In

OF all the things for which a

with them and their foolish pranks
because it seemed that they were
compelled to do SO. But this year
the boys who sought to play the
wild man and the bully were
promptly given to understand that
such things didn't go. They soon
/ found that they must behave or
suffer the consequences, so New
ark has observed at least one quiet
and orderly Christmas.
