If George M. Cohan's amusing 1ft- tie comedy, 'Love and Learn," which was presented yesterday afternoon and last night at the Park theatre, "goes across in New York, who is going to get credit for the success?
 MT. Cohan himself thinks that the entire cast is entitled to all the praise the production may get in the big town, and did not hesitate to say as much after the performance at the Park theatre yesterday afternoon.
 ''The show certainly seemed to take well in Bridgeport" commented MT. Cohan. "Every member of the cast did great work, and they deserve all the credit. I am thoroughly pleas ed with the reception we got here, because it looks good for the fu- lure. "how do I think it compares with my other productions? Why, it's on an equal with any of them!'
 The character of the play and the makeup of the cast are the two req sons which lead the producer to be- ieve that his latest offering will score a hit in New York.
 Comedy of this sort is just what tho tn heatTe- going public wants at this time," said MT. Conan. They like it and it is good for them. And the cast in this play is another thing that the people are going to like. They

 How about the reduction of the atre ticket prices?'', MT. Cohan was asked. s'Is it going to affect this show in New York ?"
 Not in the slightest he replied empuhatically. There will be no re- duction in prices for this play. With a, cast like this a cut cannot be af- forded
 MT. Conan, who is being kept busy these days as producer of number of Broadway hits, and acting in 'The Meanest Man in the World" made hurried trip to Bridgeport yesterday afternoon to witness the matinee per formance. He occupied an orchestra seat in the rear of the theatre, and few persons in the house were aware that the producer. of the play was in the audience.
 Between the second and third acts, MT. Cohan went back-atage and per- sonally congratulated each member of the company for his or her individual work.
 The actor-producer hustled back to New York early last evening. stop ping only long enough to express his praise of the company and predict a great success for Love and Learn when the pleasing comedy hits 'The Great White Way.'

ANGEL" CHEWS GUM: DIRECTOR
 CALLS A HALT

One of the dainty beauties who had been cast for the part of an angel in the aHegor+cal episode of Metros production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" sauntered across the big stage at the Hollywood stu &ios for inspection.
 Director Rex Ingram approved of wings and the general appearance of rhe visitor from above. and she took her place before the camera. Other players were given like inspection and the camera man was ordered to prepare to grind.
 Just then the director noted a flaw in t1-o picture that could not be over looked.
 ''Lood here" he shouted to the for merIy approved angel. ''Take that gum out of your mouth. Did you ever see an angel chewing gum ?'
 The angel removed the object1onable substance from her mouth. but was not in the least abashed.
 Did you ever see one that didn't?'' she inquired.

Here's a tale right from Studio land. A wealthy young man. winter ing in Southern California, was very anxious to get into moving pictures. Failing to get a job as an actor he haunted the other departments of a studio. While waiting to see the publicity manager, one day, he ap- preached the office boy and the fol- lowing dialogue ensued: Do you suppose there is an opening here for 8 gentleman with college educa- tion?' The office boy quickly replied. Well, there will be if they don't raise my salary two dollars by the end of the week.
