Just how it happens has never been

that she wants one kind of fabric, one
particular color, one style. Just now
it seems that every woman wants a
vel, et gown, in addition to the satin
frock for which there has been uni

shops saw this wave of demand rolling
in, and that designers and manufac-

Broadway May
Lose Its
Cohan

Unless Dame Rumor is an unreli-
able commentator, Broadway will lose
its most conspicuous member early
next season, because II is Whispered
that George n. Cohan will join the
group of American theatrical man
ayers and actors who have laid siege
to London.
At the present time there Is an
American colony In London numbering
a score of prominent managers and
actors, and a group of successful Lon
don plays, some camouflaged as TO
cognomen and slightly tanned as TO
dialogue, which represents a majority
of those in production
Mr.. Cohan, IL is said, will take with
him a company to act "a Prince There
Was" which he wrote and In which
he IS now acting on Broadway.
II this report be true, IL will be in
teresting to note the effect OF his
style of acting on the British public
Cohan more than any other actor on
the stage, is a typical Broadway play
er. His brand OF humor Is highly
coIorful Of the Rialto, and whether the
London public will understand 1t Is
question which no man seems willing
to predict.
