"Two-Dollar Heart is the heart Of the
great American public, the heart that is
willing to pay 81 to be touched by a good
play.
Mr.. Cohan goes into some intimate per-
sonal details in celebrating his theme
telling just how he writes and produces
his plays. and the things that influence
him In that writing and producing. The
amazing thing Is that he always tries
out his ideas on Joe Blatz before the
public knows anything about what Is in
store for 1t. Joe Blatz Is none other
than your own, or your neighbor's, or his
neighbor's fifteen-year-old son. and Mr..
Cohan has found out by his tremendous
experience that what Joe Blatz likes will
go with Joe Blatz's father and uncles and
other relatives, because all the latter are
only little Joe Blatzes grown up. That
he gives as the secret OF his success, and
he cites numerous incidents In that ex-
perience to prove the truth Of his view
points. Indeed, on numerous occasions
Joes comments have proved that the
opposite opinions Of producers and critics
have been wrong. Remember, in our Sun

Steel Trusts Purchase OF
Tennessee Company Stock.
JUDGE GARY'S Statement
Says J. P. Morgan Risked Money
and Reputation in Cause.
MOORE & sCHLEY's TROUBLE
Pledged Stock to Secure Loans,
Witness Stated, and Foreclosure
Had Been Threatened.

The oft-repeated story OF the acquisi-
ton OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company by the United States Steel
Corporation was told again yesterday at
the afternoon session Of the steel trust
investigating committee. This time the
transaction was shown at q new angle.
It has been characterized heretofore as
q forced SALE hard bargain and
a ruthless commercial deal; as q VIOLA
tion of law sanctioned by the executive.
and all that sort Of thing: but yesterday
1t was described as a case of "benevo-
lent assimilation in behalf Of the gen.
eral welfare Of the business world.
Judge Gary Of the United States Steel
Corporation. continuing his testimony
after The Stars report closed. said:
Several offers had been made to us
by people representing the Tennessee
ferent times prior to the fall OF 1907.
The United States Steel Corporation had
always been opposed to the purchase of
the property and distinctly said so on
various occasions.
Early In 1907 Mr.. Morgan sent for me
and said that Mr.. George Kessler. who
had purchased stocks Of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company outside the Grant
B. Schley syndicate. had approached him
with the statement that the Tennessee
company could be purchased at 130. l
told Mr.. Morgan It was not worth having
at that price. Mr.. Frick later expressed
the Same opinion. and the matter then
was dropped.
