Earl was born about as far West
as ANYBODY in this country can so.
And. therefore. ii would be impos-
sible for him to go any farther.
After puzzling MS mind over the
problem for some time, young brown
decided that il was q rOor rule that

made up his mind to 80 East and

One Of the important differences
between the works of William Shake
peare and George Cohan. the we'll
known playwright, is the little
matter of a date line. George has
one which he inserts in every act
and every scene OF his plays. But
William was rather parsimoniOus
in this regard. 1t may be that at
some time in his early career when
he Tas writing vaudeville sketches,
or the seventeenth century equiva-
lent thereof, he used one. But the
plays of his that are matters of
current production do not carry
them.
William wrote for the entire hu-
man race-en bloc. as our Partisan
friends say. Meaning. OF course,
that the understanding OF his works
is without Limitation Of race. creed
or era-that he took human emo
tions that have been emoting in
more or less general way since the
first advertisement for the apple in
dustry was prepared by our common
parents-arG put them into plays.
Georgia writes for the people OF
this one particular age and race
and creed of Americanism. He has
1914 or 1871 or lsl0 written so largely
on all that he has done that there
is no mistakinS their excellence and
their sageness as rejecting the
thought of the time nov. but
That is exactly what makes a lot
OF trouble for the general public. or
might in the future-because at the
present time the fame oc Shakes
peare and Cohan stand about equal.
There is chance that Cohan will
be forgotten-by everybody except
the oldest inhabitanI or the an
tiCuary
