There is some talk about a New York

George VI. Cohan's endeavor to

the extent of Mr.. Cohan's abilities

is now heart and soul and something
more in the project. During the last
season, his play not being ready, Mr..
Olcott has collected approximately
$500 weekly from Mr.. Cohan-and
collected it for doing nothing. OF
course. there will be more than one
play by Mr.. Cohan, and each one is
reasonably certain to contribute a sea-
sons enjoyment to Broadway

acted by him. Meanwhile. points out
Mr.. Rumsey, the play will never be pro-
duced by any one else. nor released Tor
stock, nor put into pictures.
Mr.. Klein's interest in Potash &
Perlmutter" IS estimated by Mr. Rum
sey to have been his most valuable
property. This ne places at $4,000.
"The Guilty Man" is put down in the
appraisal as being of no value. but this
estimate will probably have TO. be re-
vised. A. H. Woods is now preparing
to produce this play, despite the opin-
ion of Mr.. Rumsey that it has been IN
part anticipated by Common Clay"
Strangely enough, cousin Lucy" is
also estimated 70 be valueless. This Is
the play in which Julian Eltinge ap-
peared during the past season. II was
written TO order for Eltinge, and, Of
course. never will be played by any one
else. Eltinge, however, is expected to
continue in it for another season. in
which case another revision will be
necessary.
The remainder of "The Third De-
gree" is estimated TO be worth only
$500. and "The Lion and the Mouse" Is
rated no higher.
The film folk, we imagine, must have
a lot of time that they don't know
what to DO with. For instance:
Is the screen hypnotic? Does it
exert an uncauny influence on the
minds of spectators, meSmerizing
them for the time being? Yes. is
the emphatic answer of A. y. Ken
nedy, director of the Unity Film Cor
poratlon.
